Forward (di)jet measurements are a useful tool to constrain the Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) at low values of parton momentum fraction x, and to study the possible onset of BFKL or gluon saturation QCD evolutions in the proton. We present studies of jet reconstruction capabilities in the CMS Hadron Forward (HF) calorimeter (3<|eta|<5). The expected sensitivity of the inclusive forward jet p_T spectrum to the proton PDF, as well as the azimuthal decorrelation of Mueller-Navelet jets with a large rapidity separation are presented for p-p collisions at sqrt{s} = 14 TeV.
The results of searches for Supersymmetry in events with two same-sign isolated leptons, hadronic jets, and missing transverse energy in the final state are presented. The searches use pp collisions at 7 TeV collected in 2011 by the CMS experiment.
The most recent results of Standard Model physics using 8 and 13 TeV proton-proton collision data recorded by the CMS detector during the LHC Runs I and II are reviewed. This overview includes studies of several results of vector boson production in association with jets. The outlined results are compared to the corresponding theoretical predictions and no significant deviation is observed.
The capabilities of the ATLAS, CMS and LHCb detectors to reconstruct jets at forward rapidities (|η|> 3) in p-p collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider are reviewed. The QCD and Higgs physics motivations for such measurements are summarised. Details are given on studies that provide information on the parton structure and evolution at small values of fractional momenta in the proton.
The study of the associated production of vector bosons and jets constitutes an excellent environment to check numerous QCD predictions. Total and differential cross sections of vector bosons produced in association with jets have been studied in pp collisions using CMS data. Differential distributions as a function of a broad range of kinematical observables are measured and compared with theoretical predictions. In this talk, studies of associated production of vector bosons with inclusive jets and with jets originating from heavy-flavour quarks will be summarized.
We report on the status and history of the CMS commissioning, together with selected results from cosmic-ray muon data. The second part focuses on strategies for optimizing the reconstruction of jets, missing transverse energy and photons for early standard model measurements at ATLAS and CMS with the first collision data from the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
Measurements of Vector Boson production in association with jets are presented, using p-p collision data at sqrt{s} = 7 TeV. The measurements presented include Z + jets azimuthal correlations, event shapes, vector boson + jets differential cross section measurements, hard double-parton scattering using W + jets events and electroweak Z + forward - backward jet production.
Recent results from CMS are reviewed for searches for supersymmetry in final states with multiple bottom quark jets. Results are based on the full 2012 CMS dataset consisting of 19.5 fb-1 collected at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 8 TeV. In particular, searches for final states with multiple b-jets and one or two leptons are presented. These final states are of special interest in the context of the search for third generation squarks in gluino or sbottom cascade decays, as predicted by natural supersymmetry.
We present a study of jet production in association with W and Z bosons in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV using the full 2010 data set collected by CMS corresponding to an integrated luminosity of (35.9 +/- 1.4) inverse picobarn. We report the measurement of ratios s(V + >= n jets)/s(V) and s(V + >= n jets)/s(V + >= (n - 1) jets), where V represents either a W or a Z, s stands for the cross section and n stands for the number of jets.
The performance of reconstruction and calibration of jets and missing transverse momentum in the CMS Collaboration, together with the latest tools for pileup mitigation, is presented. The results shown are relative to the data collected from 2016 to 2018 (Run 2) in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. An outlook to the new techniques foreseen for Run 3 is discussed.
This document is dedicated to recent results on the measurements of a vector boson production associated with jets (V+jets) using CMS detector experiment, with a central proton-proton (pp) collision energy of respectively 8 TeV (RunI) and 13 TeV (RunII). The vector boson can be a W boson, Z boson, or photon(γ). The jets are of any flavor, as well as the ones containing heavy flavor quarks, such as bottom(b) quarks. The inclusive cross sections of V+jets processes and differential cross sections as a function of various kinematic observables are presented and compared to several theoretical pre…
Many physics analyses at the LHC are looking into processes where the signal jets are originating from quarks, while jets in the background are more gluon enriched. Based on observables sensitive to fundamental differences in the fragmentation properties of gluons and quarks, a likelihood discriminant is constructed to distinguish between jets originating from quarks and gluons. The performance of the tagger is evaluated using Z+jets and dijet events produced in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC.
The cross section for production of Z bosons with two associated b-jets, and Z decaying to leptons, can be measured at the LHC with about 100 pb-1 of data. We use simulated data to study possible strategies for an early measurement of this process with the CMS detector. The rate and kinematic properties of this final state needs to be well understood because it constitutes a large fraction of the total backgrounds to several of the Higgs discovery channels at the LHC.
A variety of models of physics beyond the standard model predict new particles that decay to leptons, jets, or both together. These models include axigluons, colorons, diquarks, excited quarks, heavy long-lived charged particles, leptoquarks, Randall-Sundrum gravitons, string resonances, and new vector bosons (right-handed W and Z'). Using the data collected in 2011 and 2012 at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, the CMS collaboration has performed searches for these new particles in channels with leptons and jets. The results of these searches will be presented. No evidence of new physics…
The observation of the electroweak production of a Z boson with two jets in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV with the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC is presented, based on a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb$^{-1}$. The cross section measurement, combining the muon and electron channels, is in agreement with the theoretical expectations. Radiation patterns of selected Z plus two jets events, and the hadronic activity in the rapidity interval between the jets are also measured. These results are of substantial importance in the more general study of vector boson fusion pro…
This document gives an overview over the recent results on helicity measurement of W boson originated from top pair events. The results are obtained using data collected by the CMS detector at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The helicity measurements are confronted with the most precise theoretical predictions of the standard model.
Selected results of searches for neutral long-lived particles with displaced and delayed jets, trackless jets and emerging jets, as well as displaced muons, obtained with data recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations during LHC's Run 2 are presented, as well as challenges and techniques.
We report on cross section measurements for inclusive forward jet production and for the simultaneous production of a forward and a central jet in sqrt{s} = 7 TeV pp-collisions. Data collected in 2010, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.14 pb^{-1}, is used for the measurements. Jets in the transverse momentum range pT = 35 - 140 GeV/c are reconstructed with the anti-kT (R = 0.5) algorithm. The extended coverage of large pseudo-rapidities is provided by the Hadronic Forward calorimeter (3.2 < η< 4.7), while central jets are limited to η< 2.8, covered by the main detector components.…
At the Large Hadron Collider, the identification of jets originating from b quarks is important for searches for new physics and for measurements of standard model processes. A variety of algorithms has been developed by CMS to select b-quark jets based on variables such as the impact parameters of charged-particle tracks, the properties of reconstructed decay vertices, and the presence or absence of a lepton, or combinations thereof. The performance of these algorithms has been measured using data from proton-proton collisions at the LHC and compared with expectations based on simulation. The…
In this paper, selected CMS measurements sensitive to low-x QCD are presented: inclusive cross-sections for forward-central jets production at \sqrt{s}=7 TeV, inclusive cross-sections for forward jets production at 7 TeV and 8 TeV, inclusive to exclusive dijets production cross-sections ratios and correlations of Mueller-Navelet dijets at 7 TeV. Results for data are compared to predictions of theoretical models.
The top quark mass is measured using $35.9~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of LHC proton-proton collision data collected with the CMS detector at $\sqrt{s}=13~\mathrm{TeV}$ in 2016. The measurement uses the $\mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}}$ all-jets final state, which comprises a total of six jets. A kinematic fit is performed to reconstruct the decay of the $\mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}}$ system and suppress QCD multijet background. By means of the ideogram method, the top quark mass is determined, simultaneously constraining an additional jet energy scale factor ($\text{JSF}$). The result of $172.34\pm0…
The performance of jet finding using only charged tracks in CMS has been investigated. Different jet algorithms have been applied to QCD di-jet events, to hadronic tt multi-jet events and on Z+jets events. Results using jets made with tracks only or calorimeter towers are compared for energy response, angular resolution and jet matching to the leading partons. The jet reconstruction performance in the presence of pile-up interactions is presented for the Z+jets sample.
First searches for new physics phenomena using the LHC 7 TeV proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS detector in 2010 are reviewed. Results are presented of searches for new physics in events with hadronic jet pairs, and for heavy stable charged particles, including a dedicated search for long-lived particles that stop in the detector and decay in periods between beam crossings.
In this note we present a measurement of the VZ (V=W,Z) production cross section in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$8 TeV in the VZ$\rightarrow$V$b\bar{b}$ decay mode with V$=$Z$\rightarrow (ν\barν$,$\ell\ell$), V$=$W$\rightarrow \ellν$, ($\ell=e,μ$). The results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 18.9 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the CMS experiment. The process is observed for the first time in this particular final state with a significance exceeding six standard deviations ($σ$). The measured cross sections are consistent with the predictions of NLO calculatio…
A search for the flavour-changing neutral current decay D0 to mu+mu- is performed in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV using 90 pb-1 of data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. No evidence is found for this decay mode. The upper limit on the branching fraction B(D0 to mu+mu-) is 5.4x10-7 at the 90% confidence level.
Measurements 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-kt 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 func…
Recent measurements performed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations on the Run 2 dataset are testing QCD with unprecedented precision. The wealth of data, an ever-improving experimental understanding of jets and photons, and novel measurements of jet substructure enable an improved understanding.
We present a search for single production of heavy vector-like quarks (VLQs), carried out by the CMS collaboration analyzing LHC pp collisions at 13 TeV. The vector like quark is a massive top quark partner that is searched for in a mass range between 0.7 and 1.7 TeV and a width between $<$1\% and 30\%. Single production can be dominant over pair production, depending on the mass of the new quark. The search is performed in a variety of final states including boosted topologies that can increase the sensitivity of the analysis.
A search for narrow resonances with a mass of at least 1 TeV in the dijet mass spectrum is performed using pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1 inverse femtobarn, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. No resonances are observed. Upper limits at the 95% confidence level are presented on the product of the resonance cross section, branching fraction into dijets, and acceptance, separately for decays into quark-quark, quark-gluon, and gluon-gluon pairs. The data exclude new particles predicted in the following models at the 95% confidence level: stri…
Preliminary results on a variety of jet analyses are presented using pp collision data collected by the CMS experiment at $\sqrt{s}$=7 TeV. We report on measurements of the inclusive jet cross sections, the ratio of the inclusive three-jet over two-jet cross sections, the hadronic event shapes, the jet structure and the dijet azimuthal decorrelations. The data distributions are compared with the predictions of Monte Carlo event generators and with perturbative QCD calculations.
The measurement of the inclusive cross section for Wgamma production is presented based on 36/ pb of data acquired with the CMS detector from 7 TeV LHC collisions in 2010. Comparisons are made with the predictions of the standard model. The W bosons are identified through their leptonic decays to electrons and muons. The Wgamma cross section is sensitive to anomalous triple-gauge couplings and hence this measurement probes physics beyond the standard model.
Searches for high-mass resonances decaying to pairs of standard model bosons using ATLAS and CMS detectors are presented. The searches use 15 - 36 $\textrm{fb}^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data collected at the centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at the LHC. Many different final states have been considered and the results are interpreted in a range of theories beyond the standard model of particle physics, most common being heavy vector triplet and warped extra dimensions.
Measurements performed by the CMS experiment of the cross section for inclusive $b$-quark production in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}= 7$ TeV are presented. The measurements are based on different methods, such as inclusive jet measurements with secondary vertex tagging or selecting a sample of events containing jets and at least one muon, where the transverse momentum of the muon with respect to the closest jet axis discriminates $b$-events from the background. The results are compared with predictions based on perturbative QCD calculations at leading and next-to-leading order.
Higher-order QCD predictions are used to extract the top quark mass, both in the pole and in the $\bar{\mathrm{MS}}$ scheme, from the top quark pair production cross section measured in the dilepton final state. The analysed dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1.14 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the CMS experiment in 2011 in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV.

Measurements of the angular correlations between beauty and anti-beauty hadrons produced in LHC pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV are presented. These results probe for the first time the small angular separation region and show sensitivity to collinear particle emission. The results are compared with predictions based on perturbative QCD calculations at leading and next-to-leading order.
We present the first measurement of the top quark pair production cross section at the new LHC center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 13.6 \, \mathrm{TeV}$, using $1.20 \, \mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of data recorded at the CMS detector. We use a new method combining dilepton and lepton+jets decay channels, constraining several experimental uncertainties in situ. A cross section of $887^{+43}_{-41}(\mathrm{stat+syst}) \pm 53 (\mathrm{lumi}) \, \mathrm{pb}$ is measured, in agreement with the standard model. This result constitutes a first validation of the new data taken by CMS in LHC Run 3.
We present measurements of the total inelastic pp cross section at 7 TeV obtained with the CMS detector. Two different methods are used. In runs with low event pile-up, we exploit the large pseudorapidity coverage (|η|<5.2) of the CMS calorimeters to obtain the cross section for events with any activity in the acceptance range. In addition, runs with high event pile-up are used by fitting a Poisson distribution with the total visible cross section as parameter to the number of reconstructed primary vertices. Both measurements are corrected to a hadron level definition of the inelastic cross se…
The observation of inclusive diffraction with the CMS detector at the LHC is presented for centre-of-mass energies \sqrt s = 0.9 TeV and 2.36 TeV. Diffractive events are selected by the presence of a Large Rapidity Gap in the forward region of the CMS detector and uncorrected data are compared with Monte Carlo simulations based on the event generators PYTHIA and PHOJET. The measurement of the forward energy flow, in the pseudorapidity region 3.15 < |η| < 4.9, is also presented at \sqrt s = 0.9 TeV, 2.36 TeV and 7 TeV. Uncorrected data are compared with Monte Carlo simulations based on PYTHIA.
The inclusive cross-section for tW production in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV is measured with a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the CMS experiment. The measurement is performed in events with one electron and one muon, and exploits kinematic differences between the signal and the dominating $t\bar{t}$ background through the use of multivariate discriminants designed to separate the two processes. The measured cross-section of $σ= 63.1 \pm 1.8~({\rm stat}) \pm 6.0~({\rm syst}) \pm 2.1~({\rm lumi})$ pb is in agreement with stan…
The identification of jets originating from b quarks is crucial both for the searches for new physics and for the measurement of standard model processes. The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has developed a variety of algorithms to select b-quark jets based on variables such as the impact parameter of charged particle tracks, properties of reconstructed secondary vertices from heavy hadron decays, and the presence or absence of a lepton in the jet, or combinations thereof. Performance measurements of these b-jet identification algorithms are present…
The latest CMS jet measurements in p-p collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV, sensitive to small-x QCD physics, are discussed. These include inclusive forward jet and simultaneous forward-central jet production, as well as production ratios and azimuthal angle decorrelations of jets widely separated in rapidity.
We report on the current simulation studies regarding the reconstruction of Jets and Missing Transverse Energy (MET) with the CMS detector at the CERN proton-proton LHC accelerator. The performance of various jet algorithms is compared, when using calorimeter energy deposits as inputs to the algorithm. The plan for obtaining jet energy corrections is outlined and data-driven correction methods are described. Finally, the performance of MET reconstruction is summarized.
Evidence is presented for standard model production of a Z boson in association with a single top quark. The analysis uses a data sample of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV recorded in 2016 by the CMS detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. Final states containing three leptons (electrons or muons) and at least two jets are investigated, and the measured cross section is $σ($pp $\rightarrow$ tZq $\rightarrow $Wb$\ell^{+}\ell^{-}$q) = 123$^{+44}_{-39}$ fb, where $\ell$ stands for electrons, muons or taus. The corresponding observed (expected) signif…
A search for narrow resonances in the dijet mass spectrum is performed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.9 inverse pb collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. Upper limits at the 95% confidence level (CL) are presented on the product of the resonance cross section, branching fraction into dijets, and acceptance, separately for decays into quark-quark, quark-gluon, or gluon-gluon pairs. The data exclude new particles predicted in the following models at the 95% CL: string resonances, with mass less than 2.50 TeV, excited quarks, with mass less than 1.58 TeV, and axigl…
We present measurements of the inclusive jet production at centre-of-mass energies of 8 and 13 TeV, and of multijets at 8 TeV. These measurements allow to constrain PDFs and the strong coupling constant. Two measurements of the azimuthal correlations at 8 and 13 TeV are also presented, testing higher order QCD calculations.
The CMS experiment makes use of a large variety of algorithms to identify the origin of particle jets measured in the detector. Through the study of jet substructure properties, jets originating from quarks, gluons, W/Z/Higgs bosons, top quarks and pileup interactions are identified and categorized. We present new techniques based on machine learning approaches developed for the analysis of the data collected during the LHC Run 2 that significantly surpass the performances of classical taggers.
This note presents selected measurements of W and Z boson production, carried out with the CMS experiment at the LHC, based on samples of events collected during 2015-2018 physics runs. W boson events were selected containing an isolated, energetic electron or muon, while Z boson events were selected containing a pair of isolated, energetic electrons or muons. Presented results include searches for rare decays of W bosons to pions.
I give an overview of recent results on top quark properties and interactions, obtained using data collected with the CMS experiment during the years 2010--2011 at sqrt(s)= 7 TeV. Measurements are presented for the inclusive top pair production cross section, using the dilepton, lepton plus jets, and hadronic channels. The mass of the top quark is measured using the dilepton and lepton plus jets samples. CMS also measures the cross section for electroweak production of single top quarks and constrains the CKM matrix element V_tb. Top quark results are compared with Standard Model predictions a…
Several theories beyond the Standard Model predict the existence of new heavy neutral bosons. Such particles could be produced in significant amounts at the LHC and their decay into a dilepton pair provides a clean signature with low background contamination. The results of the analysis of the whole 2012 dataset collected by the CMS experiment at a center of mass energy of 8 TeV are presented. No evidence for new physics is seen and upper limits on the cross section production of such particles are extracted. These results can be turned into lower limits on the mass of the heavy bosons, reachi…
A search for the standard model Higgs boson in the rare mu+mu- decay channel is presented. The data samples, recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC, correspond to integrated luminosities of 5.0 +/- 0.1 inverse femtobarns at 7 TeV center-of-mass energy and of 19.7 +/- 0.5 inverse femtobarns at 8 TeV. To enhance the Higgs signal over the dominant Drell-Yan background, the events are categorized by topologies corresponding to different production processes. Upper limits on the production rate, with respect to the Standard Model prediction, are reported at the 95% confidence level for Higgs bos…
Jet studies provide an experimental method to explore the features of energy loss in the strongly interacting quark-gluon plasma. Recent jet results from 2.76 TeV PbPb and pp collisions measured with the CMS detector are presented. Jets in the most head-on (central) PbPb collisions are quenched in comparison to pp, and the jets fragment in different ways in the two systems. Measurements from pPb collisions at 5.02 TeV show that the jet and charged particle suppression seen in central PbPb measurements are not due to initial state nuclear effects.
The electroweak production of single-top quarks in the $t$ channel can be changed by any deviation from the standard model, it is therefore an excellent opportunity to search for new physics. In this poster the recent cross-section measurement performed by the CMS collaboration is presented with the full 2015 dataset of the LHC Run II at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The cross section and the top/antitop ratio is extracted using a binned maximum likelihood fit to the distribution of a multivariate classifier in events containing one isolated muon in the final state.
Identification of jets originating from b quarks (b-tagging) is a key element of many physics analyses at the LHC. Various algorithms for b-tagging have been developed by the CMS experiment to identify b-tagged jets with a typical efficiency between 40% and 70% while keeping the rate of misidentified light quark jets between 0.1% and 10%. An important step, in order to be able to use these tools in physics analysis, is the determination of the efficiency for tagging b-jets. Several methods to measure the efficiencies of the lifetime based b-tagging algorithms are presented. Events that have je…
An overview of the searches for heavy resonances that decay to leptons or quarks is presented. The results are based on the data collected by the ATLAS and CMS experiments in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13~\textrm{TeV}$, and include for the first time the entire LHC Run 2 data set.
The reconstruction and identification of physics objects in the CMS detector, in the context of the charged Higgs boson search analysis, are presented. The reconstruction algorithms and their performance in 7 TeV and 8 TeV LHC data are discussed. The identification of tau hadronic decays, the reconstruction of hadronic jets and missing transverse energy and the identification of b jets are described in detail.
The CMS Open Data project offers new opportunities to measure cross sections of standard model (SM) processes which have not been probed so far. In this work, we evaluate the challenges and the opportunities of the CMS Open Data project in the view of cross-section measurements. In particular, we reevaluate SM cross sections of the production of W bosons, Z bosons, top-quark pairs and WZ dibosons in several decay channels at a center of mass energy of 8 TeV with a corresponding integrated luminosity of 1.8 fb-1. Those cross sections have been previously measured by the ATLAS and CMS collaborat…
