A search for exclusive or quasi-exclusive W+W− production by photon-photon interactions, pp → p(*)W+W−p(*), at √s = 7 TeV is reported using data collected by the CMS detector with an integrated luminosity of 5.05 fb−1. ...

A detailed description is reported of the analysis used by the CMS Collaboration in the search for the standard model Higgs boson in pp collisions at the LHC, which led to the observation of a new boson. The data sample ...

A measurement of the W boson helicity is presented, where the W boson originates from the decay of a top quark produced in pp collisions. The event selection, optimized for reconstructing a single top quark in the final ...

A search is performed for a massive new vector-like quark T, with charge 2 3 , that is pair produced together with its antiparticle in proton–proton collisions. The data were collected by the CMS experiment at the Large ...

The first direct search for lepton-flavour-violating decays of the recently discovered Higgs boson (H) is described. The search is performed in the H → μτe and H → μτh channels, where τe and τh are tau leptons reconstructed ...

A search for pair production of neutral color-octet weak-triplet scalar particles ( 0) is performed in processes where one 0 decays to a pair of b quark jets and the other to a Z boson plus a jet, with the Z boson ...

Results are reported on a search for decays of a pseudoscalar A boson into a Z boson and a light scalar h boson, where the Z boson decays into a pair of oppositely-charged electrons or muons, and the h boson decays into ...

Searches for supersymmetry (SUSY) are performed using a sample of hadronic events produced in 8 TeV pp collisions at the CERN LHC. The searches are based on the M T2 variable, which is a measure of the transverse momentum ...

Results are presented from a search for the production of a heavy gauge boson W′ decaying into a top and a bottom quark, using a data set collected by the CMS experiment at √s = 8 TeV and corresponding to an integrated ...

A search is presented for long-lived charged particles that decay within the CMS detector and produce the signature of a disappearing track. Disappearing tracks are identified as those with little or no associated calorimeter ...
