- Phenomenology Tools on Cloud Infrastructures using OpenStackPublication . Campos, I.; Fernandez-del-Castillo, E.Fernandez; Heinemeyer, S.; Lopez-Garcia, A.; Pahlen, F.v.d.; Borges, G.We present a new environment for computations in particle physics phenomenology employing recent developments in cloud computing. On this environment users can create and manage “virtual” machines on which the phenomenology codes/tools can be deployed easily in an automated way. We analyze the performance of this environment based on “virtual” machines versus the utilization of physical hardware. In this way we provide a qualitative result for the influence of the host operating system on the performance of a representative set of applications for phenomenology calculations.
- Search for $Z$ ' resonances decaying to $t\bar{t}$ in dilepton+jets final states in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeVPublication . CMS collaboration (2213 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 resonances decaying to top quark-antiquark pairs is performed using a dilepton+jets data sample recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 inverse femtobarns. No significant deviations from the standard model background are observed. Upper limits are presented for the production cross section times branching fraction of top quark-antiquark resonances for masses from 750 to 3000 GeV. In particular, the existence of a leptophobic topcolor particle Z' is excluded at the 95% confidence level for resonance masses M[Z'] < 1.3 TeV for Gamma[Z'] = 0.012 M[Z'], and M[Z'] < 1.9 TeV for Gamma[Z'] = 0.10 M[Z'].
