Recent results of the searches for Supersymmetry in final states with one or two leptons at CMS are presented. Many Supersymmetry scenarios, including the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (CMSSM), predict a substantial amount of events containing leptons, while the largest fraction of Standard Model background events -which are QCD interactions -gets strongly reduced by requiring isolated leptons. The analyzed data was taken in 2011 and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of approximately L = 1 fb −1 . The center-of-mass energy of the pp collisions was √ s = 7 TeV.
The four LEP collaborations, ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL, have searched for the neutral Higgs bosons which are predicted by the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The data of the four collaborations are statistically combined and examined for their consistency with the background hypothesis and with a possible Higgs boson signal. The combined LEP data show no significant excess of events which would indicate the production of Higgs bosons. The search results are used to set upper bounds on the cross-sections of various Higgs-like event topologies. The results are interpreted within the MSSM in a number of "benchmark" models, including CP-conserving and CP-violating scenarios. These interpretations lead in all cases to large exclusions in the MSSM parameter space. Absolute limits are set on the parameter tan β and, in some scenarios, on the masses of neutral Higgs bosons.
The results of a comprehensive analysis of existing data on the weak neutral current and the W and Z masses are presented. The principal results are the following. (a) There is no evidence for any deviation from the standard model. (b) A global fit to all data yields sin 0~= 1 -Mgr /Mz =0.230+0.0048, where this error and all others given here include full statistical, systematic, and theoretical uncertainties (computed assuming three fermion families, m, & 100 GeV, and MH & 1 TeV). (c) Allowing p=M~/(Mz cos'0~) as well as sin'0~to vary one obtains sin 0~=0.229+0.0064 and p =0.998+0.0086. This implies 90%%uo-confidence-level (C.L.) upper limits of 0.047 and 0.081 for the vacuum expectation values (relative to those of Higgs doublets) for Higgs triplets with weak hypercharge of 0 and +1, respectively. (d) The parameter6~=drhs (1 -Ar)/sin'0, which is a measure of the radiative corrections relating deepinelastic neutrino scattering, the 8' and Z masses, and muon decay, is determined to be 0. 112+0.037. This is consistent with the value 5~--0. 106 expected for m, =45 GeV and MH --100 GeV and establishes the existence of radiative corrections at the 3o. level. (e) The radiative corrections are sensitive to isospin breaking associated with a large m, . Assuming no deviation from the standard model, consistency of the various reactions requires m«180 GeV at 90%%uo C.L. for M& & 100 GeV, with a slightly weaker limit for larger MH. Similar results hold for the mass splittings between fourth-generation quarks or leptons. (f) Most of the parameters in modelindependent fits to vq, ve, eq, and e+e processes are now determined uniquely and precisely. (g) Limits are given on the masses and mixing angles of additional Z bosons expected in popular models. For theoretically expected coupling constants one finds that the neutral-current constraints are usually more stringent than the direct-production limits from the CERN SppS collider, but nevertheless masses as low as 120 -300 GeV are typically allowed. (h) The implications of these results for grand unification are discussed. sin 0~is )2.5 standard deviations above the prediction of minimal SU(5) and similar models for all m, . It is closer to the prediction of simple supersymmetric grand unified theories but is still somewhat low. (i) The dominant theoretical uncertainty (the charm-quark threshold in deep-inelastic charged-current scattering) is considered in some detail.
In this Report, QCD results obtained from a study of hadronic event structure in high energy e+e− interactions with the L3 detector are presented. The operation of the LEP collider at many different collision energies from 91 to 209 GeV offers a unique opportunity to test QCD by measuring the energy dependence of different observables. The main results concern the measurement of the strong coupling constant, alpha_s, from hadronic event shapes and the\ud study of effects of soft gluon coherence in charged particle multiplicity and momentum distributions
