ABSTRACT: A study is presented of the mass and spin-parity of the new boson recently observed at the LHC at a mass near 125 GeV. An integrated luminosity of 17.3 fb^{-1}, collected by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, is used. The measured mass in the ZZ channel, where both Z bosons decay to e or μ pairs, is 126.2±0.6(stat)±0.2(syst) GeV. The angular distributions of the lepton pairs in this channel are sensitive to the spin-parity of the boson. Under the assumption of spin 0, the present data are consistent with the pure scalar hypothesis, while disfavoring the pure pseudoscalar hypothesis.

ABSTRACT: Results are presented from a search for the pair production of third-generation scalar and vector leptoquarks, as well as for top squarks in R-parity-violating supersymmetric models. In either scenario, the new, heavy particle decays into a τ lepton and a b quark. The search is based on a data sample of pp collisions at sqrt[s]=7 TeV, which is collected by the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.8 fb^{-1}. The number of observed events is found to be in agreement with the standard model prediction, and exclusion limits on mass parameters are obtained at the 95% confidence level. Vector leptoquarks with masses below 760 GeV are excluded and, if the branching fraction of the scalar leptoquark decay to a τ lepton and a b quark is assumed to be unity, third-generation scalar leptoquarks with masses below 525 GeV are ruled out. Top squarks with masses below 453 GeV are excluded for a typical benchmark scenario, and limits on the coupling between the top squark, τ lepton, and b quark, λ_{333}^{'} are obtained. These results are the most stringent for these scenarios to date.

ABSTRACT: The polarizations of the Υ(1S), Υ(2S), and Υ(3S) mesons are measured in proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=7 TeV, using a data sample of Υ(nS)→μ^{+}μ^{-} decays collected by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb^{-1}. The dimuon decay angular distributions are analyzed in three different polarization frames. The polarization parameters λ_{ϑ}, λ_{φ}, and λ_{ϑφ}, as well as the frame-invariant quantity λ[over ˜], are presented as a function of the Υ(nS) transverse momentum between 10 and 50 GeV, in the rapidity ranges |y|<0.6 and 0.6<|y|<1.2. No evidence of large transverse or longitudinal polarizations is seen in the explored kinematic region.

ABSTRACT: Evidence is presented for the associated production of a single top quark and W boson in pp collisions at sqrt[s]=7 TeV with the CMS experiment at the LHC. The analyzed data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb^{-1}. The measurement is performed using events with two leptons and a jet originated from a b quark. A multivariate analysis based on kinematic properties is utilized to separate the tt[over ¯] background from the signal. The observed signal has a significance of 4.0σ and corresponds to a cross section of 16_{-4}^{+5} pb, in agreement with the standard model expectation of 15.6±0.4_{-1.2}^{+1.0} pb.

ABSTRACT: We present a measurement of the time-integrated flavor-specific semileptonic charge asymmetry in the decays of B_{s}^{0} mesons that have undergone flavor mixing, a_{sl}^{s}, using B_{s}^{0}(B[over ¯]_{s}^{0})→D_{s}^{∓}μ^{±}X decays, with D_{s}^{∓}→ϕπ^{∓} and ϕ→K^{+}K^{-}, using 10.4 fb^{-1} of proton-antiproton collisions collected by the D0 detector during Run II at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. A fit to the difference between the time-integrated D_{s}^{-} and D_{s}^{+} mass distributions of the B_{s}^{0} and B[over ¯]_{s}^{0} candidates yields the flavor-specific asymmetry a_{sl}^{s}=[-1.12±0.74(stat)±0.17(syst)]%, which is the most precise measurement and in agreement with the standard model prediction.

ABSTRACT: Results are presented from a search for heavy, right-handed muon neutrinos, N_{μ}, and right-handed W_{R} bosons, which arise in the left-right symmetric extensions of the standard model. The analysis is based on a 5.0 fb^{-1} sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, collected by the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No evidence is observed for an excess of events over the standard model expectation. For models with exact left-right symmetry, heavy right-handed neutrinos are excluded at 95% confidence level for a range of neutrino masses below the W_{R} mass, dependent on the value of M_{W_{R}}. The excluded region in the two-dimensional (M_{W_{R}}, M_{N_{μ}}) mass plane extends to M_{W_{R}}=2.5 TeV.

ABSTRACT: We report an investigation of the invariant mass spectrum of the two jets with highest transverse momentum in pp→W+2-jet and W+3-jet events to look for resonant enhancement. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb^{-1} collected with the CMS detector at sqrt[s]=7 TeV. We find no evidence for the anomalous structure reported by the CDF Collaboration, and establish an upper limit of 5.0 pb at 95% confidence level on the production cross section for a generic Gaussian signal with mass near 150 GeV. Additionally, we exclude two theoretical models that predict a CDF-like dijet resonance near 150 GeV.

ABSTRACT: The Higgs boson was postulated nearly five decades ago within the framework of the standard model of particle physics and
has been the subject of numerous searches at accelerators around the world. Its discovery would verify the existence of a
complex scalar field thought to give mass to three of the carriers of the electroweak force—the W+, W–, and Z0 bosons—as well as to the fundamental quarks and leptons. The CMS Collaboration has observed, with a statistical significance
of five standard deviations, a new particle produced in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The
evidence is strongest in the diphoton and four-lepton (electrons and/or muons) final states, which provide the best mass resolution
in the CMS detector. The probability of the observed signal being due to a random fluctuation of the background is about 1
in 3 × 106. The new particle is a boson with spin not equal to 1 and has a mass of about 1.25 giga–electron volts. Although its measured
properties are, within the uncertainties of the present data, consistent with those expected of the Higgs boson, more data
are needed to elucidate the precise nature of the new particle.

ABSTRACT: The suppression of the individual Υ(nS) states in PbPb collisions with respect to their yields in pp data has been measured. The PbPb and pp data sets used in the analysis correspond to integrated luminosities of 150 μb^{-1} and 230 nb^{-1}, respectively, collected in 2011 by the CMS experiment at the LHC, at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 2.76 TeV. The Υ(nS) yields are measured from the dimuon invariant mass spectra. The suppression of the Υ(nS) yields in PbPb relative to the yields in pp, scaled by the number of nucleon-nucleon collisions, R_{AA}, is measured as a function of the collision centrality. Integrated over centrality, the R_{AA} values are 0.56±0.08(stat)±0.07(syst), 0.12±0.04(stat)±0.02(syst), and lower than 0.10 (at 95% confidence level), for the Υ(1S), Υ(2S), and Υ(3S) states, respectively. The results demonstrate the sequential suppression of the Υ(nS) states in PbPb collisions at LHC energies.

ABSTRACT: A search for physics beyond the standard model is performed in events with at least three jets and large missing transverse momentum produced in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt[s]=7 TeV. No significant excess of events above the expected backgrounds is observed in 4.98 fb^{-1} of data collected with the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The results are presented in the context of the constrained minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model and more generically for simplified models. For the simplified models of gluino-gluino and squark-squark production, gluino masses below 1.0 TeV and squark masses below 0.76 TeV are excluded in case the lightest supersymmetric particle mass is below 200 GeV. These results significantly extend previous searches.

ABSTRACT: The transverse energy (E_{T}) in Pb-Pb collisions at 2.76 TeV nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy (sqrt[s_{NN}]) has been measured over a broad range of pseudorapidity (η) and collision centrality by using the CMS detector at the LHC. The transverse energy density per unit pseudorapidity (dE_{T}/dη) increases faster with collision energy than the charged particle multiplicity. This implies that the mean energy per particle is increasing with collision energy. At all pseudorapidities, the transverse energy per participating nucleon increases with the centrality of the collision. The ratio of transverse energy per unit pseudorapidity in peripheral to central collisions varies significantly as the pseudorapidity increases from η=0 to |η|=5.0. For the 5% most central collisions, the energy density per unit volume is estimated to be about 14 GeV/fm^{3} at a time of 1 fm/c after the collision. This is about 100 times larger than normal nuclear matter density and a factor of 2.6 times higher than the energy density reported at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.

ABSTRACT: A search is performed in pp collisions at sqrt[s]=7 TeV for exotic particles decaying via WZ to final states with electrons and muons. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of approximately 5 fb^{-1}. No significant excess is observed in the data above the expected standard model background. Upper bounds at 95% confidence level are set on the production cross section of the W^{'} boson described by the sequential standard model and on the W^{'} WZ coupling. W^{'} bosons with masses below 1143 GeV are excluded. Limits are also set in the context of low-scale technicolor models, under a range of assumptions concerning the model parameters.

ABSTRACT: The dimuon invariant mass spectrum is searched in the range between 5.5 and 14 GeV for a light pseudoscalar Higgs boson a, predicted in a number of new physics models, including the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model. The data sample used in the search corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1.3 fb^{-1} collected in pp collisions at sqrt[s]=7 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. No excess is observed above the background predictions and upper limits are set on the cross section times branching fraction σ×B(pp→a→μ^{+}μ^{-}) in the range of 1.5-7.5 pb. These results improve on existing bounds on the abb[over ¯] coupling for m_{a}<m_{Υ(1S)} and are the first significant limits for m_{a}>m_{Υ(3S)}. Constraints on the supersymmetric parameter space are presented in the context of the next-to-minimal model.

The events are selected from data corresponding to 8.6 fb-1 of integrated luminosity in pp̅ collisions at √s=1.96 TeV collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. No significant excess above the standard model background expectation in the Higgs boson mass range this search is sensitive to is observed, and upper limits on the Higgs boson production cross section are derived.

ABSTRACT: This report describes a search for associated production of W and Higgs bosons based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of L≈5.3 fb-1 collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron pp̅ Collider. Events containing a W→ℓν candidate (with ℓ corresponding to e or μ) are selected in association with two or three reconstructed jets. One or two of the jets are required to be consistent with having evolved from a b quark. A multivariate discriminant technique is used to improve the separation of signal and backgrounds. Expected and observed upper limits are obtained for the product of the WH production cross section and branching ratios and reported in terms of ratios relative to the prediction of the standard model as a function of the mass of the Higgs boson (MH). The observed and expected 95% C.L. upper limits obtained for an assumed MH=115 GeV are, respectively, factors of 4.5 and 4.8 larger than the value predicted by the standard model.

ABSTRACT: We present a measurement of the elastic differential cross section dσ(pp̅ →pp̅ )/dt as a function of the four-momentum-transfer squared t. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of ≈31 nb-1 collected with the D0 detector using dedicated Tevatron pp̅ Collider operating conditions at √s=1.96 TeV and covers the range 0.26<|t|<1.2 GeV2. For |t|<0.6 GeV2, dσ/dt is described by an exponential function of the form Ae-b|t| with a slope parameter b=16.86±0.10(stat)±0.20(syst) GeV-2. A change in slope is observed at |t|≈0.6 GeV2, followed by a more gradual |t| dependence with increasing values of |t|.

ABSTRACT: The azimuthal anisotropy of charged particles in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=2.76 TeV is measured with the CMS detector at the LHC over an extended transverse momentum (p_{T}) range up to approximately 60 GeV/c. The data cover both the low-p_{T} region associated with hydrodynamic flow phenomena and the high-p_{T} region where the anisotropies may reflect the path-length dependence of parton energy loss in the created medium. The anisotropy parameter (v_{2}) of the particles is extracted by correlating charged tracks with respect to the event-plane reconstructed by using the energy deposited in forward-angle calorimeters. For the six bins of collision centrality studied, spanning the range of 0-60% most-central events, the observed v_{2} values are found to first increase with p_{T}, reaching a maximum around p_{T}=3 GeV/c, and then to gradually decrease to almost zero, with the decline persisting up to at least p_{T}=40 GeV/c over the full centrality range measured.

ABSTRACT: The top quark is the heaviest known elementary particle, with a mass about 40
times larger than the mass of its isospin partner, the bottom quark. It decays
almost 100% of the time to a $W$ boson and a bottom quark. Using top-antitop
pairs at the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider, the CDF and {\dzero}
collaborations have measured the top quark's mass in different final states for
integrated luminosities of up to 5.8 fb$^{-1}$. This paper reports on a
combination of these measurements that results in a more precise value of the
mass than any individual decay channel can provide. It describes the treatment
of the systematic uncertainties and their correlations. The mass value
determined is $173.18 \pm 0.56 \thinspace ({\rm stat}) \pm 0.75 \thinspace
({\rm syst})$ GeV or $173.18 \pm 0.94$ GeV, which has a precision of $\pm
0.54%$, making this the most precise determination of the top quark mass.

ABSTRACT: We study the processes pp̅ →WZ→ℓ±νℓ+ℓ- and pp̅ →ZZ→ℓ+ℓ-νν̅ , where ℓ=e or μ. Using 8.6 fb-1 of integrated luminosity collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron collider, we measure the WZ production cross section to be 4.50-0.66+0.63 pb which is consistent with, but slightly larger than, the prediction of the standard model. The ZZ cross section is measured to be 1.64±0.46 pb, in agreement with a prediction of the standard model. Combination with an earlier analysis of the ZZ→ℓ+ℓ-ℓ+ℓ- channel yields a ZZ cross section of 1.44-0.34+0.35 pb.

The lifetime of the topologically similar decay channel B0→J/ψKS0 is also measured. We obtain τ(Λb0)=1.303±0.075(stat)±0.035(syst) ps and τ(B0)=1.508±0.025(stat)±0.043(syst) ps. Using these measurements, we determine the lifetime ratio of τ(Λb0)/τ(B0)=0.864±0.052(stat)±0.033(syst).
