Compressed representation of a partially defined integer function over multiple arguments

In OLAP (OnLine Analitical Processing) data are analysed in an n-dimensional cube. The cube may be represented as a partially defined function over n arguments. Considering that often the function is not defined everywhere, we ask: is there a known way of representing the function or the points in which it is defined, in a more compact manner than the trivial one

The data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19:7 fb^-1, were collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. The observed tt invariant mass spectrum is found to be compatible with the standard model prediction.

Measurement of associated production of vector bosons and top quark-antiquark pairs in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV

PubMed ID: 23679709The first measurement of vector-boson production associated with a top quark-antiquark pair in proton-proton collisions at s √ =7  TeV is presented. The results are based on a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0  fb^−1 , recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC in 2011. The measurement is performed in two independent channels through a trilepton analysis of tt ¯ Z events and a same-sign dilepton analysis of tt ¯ V (V=W or Z ) events. In the trilepton channel a direct measurement of the tt ¯ Z cross section σ tt ¯ Z =0.28 [+0.14 −0.11]  (stat) [+0.06 −0.03]  (syst)  pb is obtained. In the dilepton channel a measurement of the tt ¯ V cross section yields σtt¯V=0.43 [+0.17 −0.15]  (stat) [+0.09 −0.07]  (syst)  pb . These measurements have a significance, respectively, of 3.3 and 3.0 standard deviations from the background hypotheses and are compatible, within uncertainties, with the corresponding next-to-leading order predictions of 0.137[+0.012 −0.016] and 0.306 [+0.031 −0.053]   pb

Measurement of the production cross section for Z gamma -> nu(nu)over-bar gamma in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV and limits on ZZ gamma and Z gamma gamma triple gauge boson couplings

This article is the pre-print version of the final published paper that is available from the link below.A measurement of the Z → vvγ cross section in pp collisions at root s = 7TeV is presented, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb-1 collected with the CMS detector. This measurement is based on the observation of events with an imbalance of transverse energy in excess of 130 GeV and a single photon in the absolute pseudorapidity range |n| < 1:4 with transverse energy above 145 GeV. The Z →vvγ production cross section is measured to be 21.1±4.2 (stat:)±4.3 (syst:)±0.5 (lum:) fb, which agrees with the standard model prediction of 21.9±1.1 fb. The results are combined with the CMS measurement of Z production in the l+l- γ final state (where l is an electron or a muon) to yield the most stringent limits to date on triple gauge boson couplings: |hZ3|< 2.7 x 10-3, |hZ4| < 1,3 x 10-5 for ZZγ and |hγ3| < 2.9 x10-3, |hγ4| < 1.5 x 10-5 for Zγγ couplings
