- Measurement of the B(s) to mu+ mu- branching fraction and search for B0 to mu+ mu- with the CMS ExperimentPublication . CMS collaboration (2225 authors); Hollar, Jonathan; Nayak, Aruna; Calpas, Betty; Almeida, Nuno; Bargassa, Pedrame; Beirão Da Cruz E Silva, Cristóvão; Faccioli, Pietro; Ferreira Parracho, Pedro Guilherme; Gallinaro, Michele; Nguyen, Federico; Rodrigues Antunes, Joao; Seixas, Joao; Varela, Joao; Vischia, Pietro; Lloret Iglesias, Lara; David Tinoco Mendes, Andre; Musella, Pasquale; Silva, Pedro; Pela, Joao; Leonardo, NunoResults are presented from a search for the rare decays B(s) to mu+ mu- and B0 to mu+ mu- in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 and 8 TeV, with data samples corresponding to integrated luminosities of 5 and 20 inverse femtobarns, respectively, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. An unbinned maximum-likelihood fit to the dimuon invariant mass distribution gives a branching fraction B(B(s) to mu+ mu-) = (3 +1.0/-0.9)E-9, where the uncertainty includes both statistical and systematic contributions. An excess of B(s) to mu+ mu- events with respect to background is observed with a significance of 4.3 standard deviations. For the decay B0 to mu+ mu- an upper limit of B(B0 to mu+ mu-) < 1.1E-9 at the 95% confidence level is determined. Both results are in agreement with the expectations from the standard model.
- Probing color coherence effects in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7\,\text {TeV} $Publication . CMS collaboration (2225 authors); Hollar, Jonathan; Nayak, Aruna; Calpas, Betty; Almeida, Nuno; Bargassa, Pedrame; Beirão Da Cruz E Silva, Cristóvão; Faccioli, Pietro; Ferreira Parracho, Pedro Guilherme; Gallinaro, Michele; Nguyen, Federico; Rodrigues Antunes, Joao; Seixas, Joao; Varela, Joao; Vischia, Pietro; Lloret Iglesias, Lara; David Tinoco Mendes, Andre; Musella, Pasquale; Silva, Pedro; Pela, Joao; Leonardo, NunoA study of color coherence effects in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV is presented. 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 inverse picobarns. 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.
