No full textThis deliverable provides a summary report of a workshop on Electronic Health
Records that was organised and delivered as the main focus of Workpackage 16 of
the Semantic Mining project.
The workshop was held as day three of a three-day series of events held in Brussels
in late November 2004, under the umbrella and with kind support of the
EUROREC organisation.
This report provides a brief summary of that event, and includes in Annex 1 the
complete delegate pack as printed and issued to all persons attending the event,
This delegate pack included printed copies of all slides and screenshots used
throughout the day.
The workshop was well attended, and in particular the organisers are pleased to
report that some very productive discussions took place that will act as the stimulus
for new threads of research collaboration between various Semantic Mining
partners, under the work plan of Workpackage 26.
The organisers are grateful for the support of the EUROREC organisation in
facilitating the organisation of this workshop and for lending their support to it
through their web site and a personal endorsement of the event
Pseudorapidity distribution of charged hadrons in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV
Full text linkThe pseudorapidity distribution of charged hadrons in pp collisions at s=13 TeV is measured using a data sample obtained with the CMS detector, operated at zero magnetic field, at the CERN LHC. The yield of primary charged long-lived hadrons produced in inelastic pp collisions is determined in the central region of the CMS pixel detector (|η|<2) using both hit pairs and reconstructed tracks. For central pseudorapidities (|η|<0.5), the charged-hadron multiplicity density is dNch/dη||η|<0.5=5.49±0.01(stat)±0.17(syst), a value obtained by combining the two methods. The result is compared to predictions from Monte Carlo event generators and to similar measurements made at lower collision energies.Marie-Curie pro-gramme and the European Research Council and EPLANET (Euro-pean Union); the Leventis Foundation; the Alfred P.

Measurement of the W boson helicity fractions in the decays of top quark pairs to lepton plus jets final states produced in pp collisions at ?s=8 TeV
No full textThe W boson helicity fractions from top quark decays in t (t) over bar events are measured using data from proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The data were collected in 2012 with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.8 fb(-1). Events are reconstructed with either one muon or one electron, along with four jets in the final state, with two of the jets being identified as originating from b quarks. The measured helicity fractions from both channels are combined, yielding F-0 = 0.681 +/- 0.012 (stat) +/- 0.023 (syst), F-L = 0.323 +/- 0.008 (stat) +/- 0.014 (syst), and F-R = -0.004 +/- 0.005 (stat) +/- 0.014 (syst) for the longitudinal, left-, and right-handed components of the helicity, respectively. These measurements of the W boson helicity fractions are the most accurate to date and they agree with the predictions from the standard model. (C) 2016 The Author.

Measurement of vector boson scattering and constraints on anomalous quartic couplings from events with four leptons and two jets in proton-proton collisions at ?s=13 TeV
No full textA measurement of vector boson scattering and constraints on anomalous quartic gauge couplings from events with two Z bosons and two jets are presented. The analysis is based on a data sample of proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV collected with the CMS detector and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1). The search is performed in the fully leptonic final state ZZ -> lll'l', where l, l' = e or mu. The electroweak production of two Z bosons in association with two jets is measured with an observed (expected) significance of 2.7 (1.6) standard deviations. A fiducial cross section for the electroweak production is measured to be sigma(EW)(PP -> ZZjj -> lll'l'jj') =0.40(-0.16)(+0.21)(stat) (+0.13)(-0.009)(syst) fb, which is consistent with the standard model prediction. Limits on anomalous quartic gauge couplings are determined in terms of the effective field theory operators T0, T1, T2, T8, and T9. This is the first measurement of vector boson scattering in the ZZ channel at the LHC. (c) 2017 The Author(s).

Measurement of the top-quark mass in all-jets events in pp collisions at = 7 TeV
Full text linkThe mass of the top quark is measured using a sample of candidate events with at least six jets in the final state. The sample is selected from data collected with the CMS detector in pp collisions at = 7 TeV in 2011 and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3.54 . The mass is reconstructed for each event employing a kinematic fit of the jets to a hypothesis. The top-quark mass is measured to be 173.49 0.69(stat.) 1.21(syst.) GeV. A combination with previously published measurements in other decay modes by CMS yields a mass of 173.54 0.33(stat.) 0.96(syst.) GeV
Combined search for anomalous pseudoscalar HW couplings in VH(H ? b(b)over-bar) production and H ? VV decay
No full textA search for anomalous pseudoscalar couplings of the Higgs boson H to electroweak vector bosons V (= W or Z) in a sample of proton-proton collision events corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 18.9 fb(-1) at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV is presented. Events consistent with the topology of associated VH production, where the Higgs boson decays to a pair of bottom quarks and the vector boson decays leptonically, are analyzed. The consistency of data with a potential pseudoscalar contribution to the HVV interaction, expressed by the effective pseudoscalar cross section fractions f(a3), is assessed by means of profile likelihood scans. Results are given for the VH channels alone and for a combined analysis of the VH and previously published H -> VV channels. Under certain assumptions, f(a3)(ZZ) > 0.0034 is excluded at 95% confidence level in the combination. Scenarios in which these assumptions are relaxed are also considered. (C) 2016 The Author.

Constraints on anomalous Higgs boson couplings using production and decay information in the four-lepton final state
Full text linkA search is performed for anomalous interactions of the recently discovered Higgs boson using matrix element techniques with the information from its decay to four leptons and from associated Higgs boson production with two quark jets in either vector boson fusion or associated production with a vector boson. The data were recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 38.6 fb(-1). They are combined with the data collected at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 5.1 and 19.7 fb(-1), respectively. All observations are consistent with the expectations for the standard model Higgs boson. (C) 2017 The Author.

Measurement and interpretation of differential cross sections for Higgs boson production at root s=13 TeV
Full text linkWOS:000466802100055Differential Higgs boson (H) production cross sections are sensitive probes for physics beyond the standard model. New physics may contribute in the gluon-gluon fusion loop, the dominant Higgs boson production mechanism at the LHC, and manifest itself through deviations from the distributions predicted by the standard model. Combined spectra for the H -> gamma gamma, H -> ZZ, and H -> b (b) over bar decay channels and the inclusive Higgs boson production cross section are presented, based on proton-proton collision data recorded with the CMS detector at root s = 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1). The transverse momentum spectrum is used to place limits on the Higgs boson couplings to the top, bottom, and charm quarks, as well as its direct coupling to the gluon field. No significant deviations from the standard model are observed in any differential distribution. The measured total cross section is 61.1 +/- 6.0 (stat) +/- 3.7 (syst) pb, and the precision of the measurement of the differential cross section of the Higgs boson transverse momentum is improved by about 15% with respect to the H -> gamma gamma channel alone.

Search for MSSM Higgs bosons decaying to ?+?- in proton-proton collisions at ?s=13TeV
No full textA search is performed for neutral non-standard-model Higgs bosons decaying to two muons in the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). Proton-proton collision data recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV were used, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1). The search is sensitive to neutral Higgs bosons produced via the gluon fusion process or in association with a b (b) over bar quark pair. No significant deviations from the standard model expectation are observed. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are set in the context of the m(h)(mod+) and phenomenological MSSM scenarios on the parameter tan beta as a function of the mass of the pseudoscalar A boson, in the range from 130 to 600 GeV. The results are also used to set a model-independent limit on the product of the branching fraction for the decay into a muon pair and the cross section for the production of a scalar neutral boson, either via gluon fusion, or in association with b quarks, in the mass range from 130 to 1000 GeV.

Search for dark matter in events with a leptoquark and missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV
No full textA search is presented for dark matter in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of root s= 13 TeV using events with at least one high transverse momentum (p(T)) muon, at least one high-p(T) jet, and large missing transverse momentum. The data were collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in 2016 and 2017, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 77.4 fb(-1). In the examined scenario, a pair of scalar leptoquarks is assumed to be produced. One leptoquark decays to a muon and a jet while the other decays to dark matter and low-p(T) standard model particles. The signature for signal events would be significant missing transverse momentum from the dark matter in conjunction with a peak at the leptoquark mass in the invariant mass distribution of the highest p(T) muon and jet. The data are observed to be consistent with the background predicted by the standard model. For the first benchmark scenario considered, dark matter masses up to 500 GeV are excluded for leptoquark masses m(LQ) approximate to 1400 GeV, and up to 300 GeV for m(LQ) approximate to 1500 GeV. For the second benchmark scenario, dark matter masses up to 600 GeV are excluded for m(LQ) approximate to 1400 GeV. (C) 2019 The Author(s).
