Probing color coherence effects in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV

The data used in the analysis were collected in 2010 with the CMS detector at the LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb-1. Events are selected that contain at least three jets and where the two jets with the largest transverse momentum exhibit a back-to-back topology. The measured angular correlation between the second- and third-leading jet is shown to be sensitive to color coherence effects, and is compared to the predictions of Monte Carlo models with various implementations of color coherence. None of the models describe the data satisfactorily.BMWF and FWF (Austria); FNRS and FWO(Belgium); CNPq, CAPES, FAPERJ, and FAPESP (Brazil);MES

Funded by SCOAP3 / License Version CC BY 4.0.Measurements are reported of the WZ and ZZ production cross sections in proton-proton collisions at s √ =8 TeV in final states where one Z boson decays to b-tagged jets. The other gauge boson, either W or Z, is detected through its leptonic decay (either W→eν , μν or Z→e + e − , μ + μ − , or νν ¯ ). The results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 18.9 fb −1 collected with the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The measured cross sections, σ(pp→WZ)=30.7±9.3(stat.)±7.1(syst.)±4.1(th.)±1.0(lum.)pb and σ(pp→ZZ)=6.5±1.7(stat.)±1.0(syst.)±0.9(th.)±0.2(lum.)pb , are consistent with next-to-leading order quantum chromodynamics calculationsBMWF and FWF (Austria); FNRS and FWO (Belgium); CNPq, CAPES, FAPERJ, and FAPESP (Brazil);

Inclusive Electroweak measurements in the muon channel with pp collisions at [the square root of] s=7 TeV
No full textThesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Physics, 2011.In title on title-page, "[the square root of]" appears as the mathematical symbol. Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (p. 237-243).In this thesis, we perform the measurement of the production of W and Z bosons in proton-proton collisions at [the square root of]s = 7 TeV with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In the LHC, W and Z bosons are produced at a high rate, providing for large yields, which along with the clean signature of W boson decay into a muon and neutrino and the Z boson decay into two muons, allow for precision measurement of their production within the first year of operation. Deviation of these values from standard model predictions gives a clear indication of new physics interactions occurring at the LHC. We present the measurement of the inclusive W--> [mu] [epsilon] and Z --> [mu]+ [mu]- cross sections along with the W boson charge ratio (W+/W-) and the W/Z production ratio in the muon channel using the first data corresponding to 35.9 pb-1 of proton proton collisions at [the square root of]s = 7 TeV. Measured values of ... are in agreement with the most advanced NNLO predictions. These are currently the most precise Electroweak measurements at the LHC.by Philip Coleman Harris.Ph.D
Dijet Azimuthal Decorrelations in pp Collisions at √s=7 [square root of s=7] TeV
No full textMeasurements of dijet azimuthal decorrelations in pp collisions at √s=7 [square root of s=7] TeV using the CMS detector at the CERN LHC are presented. The analysis is based on an inclusive dijet event sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.9 pb-1 [pb superscript -1]. The results are compared to predictions from perturbative QCD calculations and various Monte Carlo event generators. The dijet azimuthal distributions are found to be sensitive to initial-state gluon radiation.United States. Dept. of EnergyNational Science Foundation (U.S.
Measurement of the B-s(0)-(B)over-bar(s)(0) oscillation frequency
No full textWe present the first precise measurement of the B-s(0)-(B) over bar (0)(s) oscillation frequency Delta m(s). We use 1 fb(-1) of data from p (p) over bar collisions at root s=1.96 TeV collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The sample contains signals of 3600 fully reconstructed hadronic B-s decays and 37 000 partially reconstructed semileptonic B-s decays. We measure the probability as a function of proper decay time that the B-s decays with the same, or opposite, flavor as the flavor at production, and we find a signal consistent with B-s(0)-(B) over bar (0)(s) oscillations. The probability that random fluctuations could produce a comparable signal is 0.2%. Under the hypothesis that the signal is due to B-s(0)-(B) over bar (0)(s) oscillations, we measure Delta m(s)=17.31(-0.18)(+0.33)(stat)+/- 0.07(syst) ps(-1) and determine vertical bar V-td/V-ts vertical bar=0.208(-0.002)(+0.001)(expt)(-0.006)(+0.008)(theor)

Measurement of the B s 0 → J / ψK S 0 effective lifetime from proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV
No full textAbstract The effective lifetime of the B s 0 meson in the decay B s 0 → J / ψK S 0 is measured using data collected during 2016–2018 with the CMS detector in s = 13 TeV proton-proton collisions at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1. The effective lifetime is determined by performing a two-dimensional unbinned maximum likelihood fit to the B s 0 meson invariant mass and proper decay time distributions. The resulting value of 1.59 ± 0.07(stat) ± 0.03(syst) ps is the most precise measurement to date and is in good agreement with the expected value
