No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2013-03-26; Results are presented of a search for compositeness in electrons and muons using a data sample of pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy s=7 TeV collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb−1. Excited leptons (ℓ⁎) are assumed to be produced via con...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2012-12-21; We report an investigation of the invariant mass spectrum of the two jets with highest transverse momentum in pp→W+2-jet and W+3-jet events to look for resonant enhancement. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb-1 collected with the CMS detector at √s=7 TeV. We find no eviden...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2012-12-27; Results are presented from a search for heavy, right-handed muon neutrinos, Nμ, and right-handed WR bosons, which arise in the left-right symmetric extensions of the standard model. The analysis is based on a 5.0 fb-1 sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, collected by t...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2011-12-08; A multivariate likelihood method to measure electroweak couplings with the Drell-Yan process at the LHC is presented. The process is described by the dilepton rapidity, invariant mass, and decay angle distributions. The decay angle ambiguity due to the unknown assignment of the scattered constituent qua...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2011-12-29; A search for pair-produced heavy vectorlike charge-2/3 quarks, T, in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, is performed with the CMS detector at the LHC. Events consistent with the flavor-changing-neutral-current decay of a T quark to a top quark and a Z boson are selected by requiring two ...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2012-06-19; The top quark pair production cross section is measured in dilepton events with one electron or muon, and one hadronically decaying τ lepton from the decay tt̄→(ν)(τ hν τ)bb̄, (=e,μ). The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2.0fb -1 for the electron channel and 2.2fb -1 for the muon c...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2012-06-21; The observation of a new b baryon via its strong decay into Ξb-π + (plus charge conjugates) is reported. The measurement uses a data sample of pp collisions at √s=7TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.3fb -1. The known Ξb- baryon is reconstructed...
