- Measurements of differential jet cross sections in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV with the CMS detectorPublication . CMS collaboration (2184 authors); Hollar, Jonathan; Nayak, Aruna; Calpas, Betty; Almeida, Nuno; Bargassa, Pedrame; David Tinoco Mendes, Andre; Faccioli, Pietro; Ferreira Parracho, Pedro Guilherme; Gallinaro, Michele; Seixas, Joao; Varela, Joao; Vischia, Pietro; Lloret Iglesias, Lara; Musella, Pasquale; Rodrigues Antunes, Joao; Silva, Pedro; Pela, Joao; Leonardo, NunoMeasurements of inclusive jet and dijet production cross sections are presented. Data from LHC proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV, corresponding to 5.0 inverse femtobarns of integrated luminosity, have been collected with the CMS detector. Jets are reconstructed up to rapidity 2.5, transverse momentum 2 TeV, and dijet invariant mass 5 TeV, using the anti-k$_t$ clustering algorithm with distance parameter R = 0.7. The measured cross sections are corrected for detector effects and compared to perturbative QCD predictions at next-to-leading order, using five sets of parton distribution functions.
- Search for pair produced fourth-generation up-type quarks in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV with a lepton in the final statePublication . CMS collaboration (2184 authors); Hollar, Jonathan; Nayak, Aruna; Calpas, Betty; Almeida, Nuno; Bargassa, Pedrame; David Tinoco Mendes, Andre; Faccioli, Pietro; Ferreira Parracho, Pedro Guilherme; Gallinaro, Michele; Seixas, Joao; Varela, Joao; Vischia, Pietro; Lloret Iglesias, Lara; Musella, Pasquale; Rodrigues Antunes, Joao; Silva, Pedro; Pela, Joao; Leonardo, NunoThe results of a search for the pair production of a fourth-generation up-type quark (t') in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV are presented, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 5.0 inverse femtobarns collected by the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at the LHC. The t' quark is assumed to decay exclusively to a W boson and a b quark. Events with a single isolated electron or muon, missing transverse momentum, and at least four hadronic jets, of which at least one must be identified as a b jet, are selected. No significant excess of events over standard model expectations is observed. Upper limits for the t' anti-t' production cross section at 95% confidence level are set as a function of t' mass, and t'-quark production for masses below 570 GeV is excluded. The search is equally sensitive to nonchiral heavy quarks decaying to Wb. In this case, the results can be interpreted as upper limits on the production cross section times the branching fraction to Wb.
- Search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a top-quark pair in pp collisions at the LHCPublication . CMS collaboration (2184 authors); Hollar, Jonathan; Nayak, Aruna; Calpas, Betty; Almeida, Nuno; Bargassa, Pedrame; David Tinoco Mendes, Andre; Faccioli, Pietro; Ferreira Parracho, Pedro Guilherme; Gallinaro, Michele; Seixas, Joao; Varela, Joao; Vischia, Pietro; Lloret Iglesias, Lara; Musella, Pasquale; Rodrigues Antunes, Joao; Silva, Pedro; Pela, Joao; Leonardo, NunoA search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a top-quark pair is presented using data samples corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb(−1) (5.1 fb(−1)) collected in pp collisions at the center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV (8 TeV). Events are considered where the top-quark pair decays to either one lepton+jets or dileptons , ℓ being an electron or a muon. The search is optimized for the decay mode . The largest background to the signal is top-quark pair production with additional jets. Artificial neural networks are used to discriminate between signal and background events. Combining the results from the 7 TeV and 8 TeV samples, the observed (expected) limit on the cross section for Higgs boson production in association with top-quark pairs for a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV is 5.8 (5.2) times the standard model expectation.
