The ratio of the top-quark branching fractions R = B(t → Wb)/B(t → Wq), where the denominator includes the sum over all down-type quarks (q = b, s, d), is measured in the tt dilepton ¯ final state with proton–proton ...

A peaking structure in the J/ψφ mass spectrum near threshold is observed in B± → J/ψφK± decays, produced in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. The data sample, selected on the basis ...

In searches for new physics in the energy regime of the LHC, it is becoming increasingly important to distinguish single-jet objects that originate from the merging of the decay products of W bosons produced with high ...

A search for a standard model Higgs boson decaying into a pair of τ leptons is performed using events recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2011 and 2012. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 ...

The jet fragmentation function of inclusive jets with transverse momentum pT above 100GeV/c in PbPb collisions has been measured using reconstructed charged particles with pT above 1GeV/c in a cone of radius 0.3 around the ...

A search for new physics is performed based on events with jets and a pair of isolated, same-sign leptons. The results are obtained using a sample of proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS experiment at a ...

Searches are presented for heavy scalar (H) and pseudoscalar (A) Higgs bosons posited in the two doublet model (2HDM) extensions of the standard model (SM). These searches are based on a data sample of pp collisions collected ...

Double parton scattering is investigated in proton-proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV where the final state includes a W boson, which decays into a muon and a neutrino, and two jets. The data sample corresponds to an integrated ...

A search for flavor-changing neutral currents in top-quark decays t→Zq is performed in events produced from the decay chain tt̄→Zq+Wb, where both vector bosons decay leptonically, producing a final state with three leptons ...

Double parton scattering is investigated in proton-proton collisions at s√ = 7 TeV where the final state includes a W boson, which decays into a muon and a neutrino, and two jets. The data sample corresponds to an integrated ...
