In this Letter, CMS describes a search for a kind of fourth-generation T quark with charge 2/3. The search for T-antiT pairs was performed in events that had a pair of oppositely charged leptons (l+l−) as well as an…

The analysis shows no excess of events over the Standard Model expectations. As a result, exclusion limits were placed on searches for squarks and gluinos in the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard…

The measured production rates of Top-antiTop pairs, where one lepton and four jets of particles is observed in the final state, show good agreement with Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of the strong interaction.…

This paper extends CMS’s previous measurements of the production rates of isolated prompt photons. The production rates agree with the predictions of perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (pQCD), although, at low transverse…

The measured Drell-Yan production rates, normalised to the production rates in the Z-boson region, show good agreement with the theoretical predictions.
The Drell-Yan process occurs when a quark from one of the colliding…

The observed numbers of events in both decay modes are consistent with those expected in the Standard Model.
Upper limits on the branching fraction have been determined at 90% and 95% confidence levels (CL).
The Standard…
For the past four months the LHC has been ramping-up the intensity of the beams, creating billions of 7 TeV proton-proton collisions. This has enabled CMS to study a variety of known physics from the Standard Model, including the "re-discovery" of…
On March 30th at 12.58 LHC delivered to CMS for the first time 7 TeV Ecm collisions. CMS and the Tracker were fully operational and collected about 210.000 Minimum Bias events in ~ 2 hours during the first fill. Everything worked very well, the…
