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.
Using the CLEO II detector, we have measured the differential cross sections for exclusive two-photon production of light pseudoscalar mesons 0 , , and Ј. From our measurements we have obtained the form factors associated with the electromagnetic transitions ␥*␥→meson. We have measured these form factors in the momentum transfer ranges from 1.5 to 9, 20, and 30 GeV 2 for 0 , , and Ј, respectively, and have made comparisons to various theoretical predictions. ͓S0556-2821͑98͒01001-7͔
Measurements of inclusive charged-hadron transverse-momentum and pseudorapidity distributions are presented for proton-proton collisions at √ s = 0.9 and 2.36 TeV. The data were collected with the CMS detector during the LHC commissioning in December 2009. For non-single-diffractive interactions, the average charged-hadron transverse momentum is measured to be 0.46 ± 0.01 (stat.) ± 0.01 (syst.) GeV/c at 0.9 TeV and 0.50 ± 0.01 (stat.) ± 0.01 (syst.) GeV/c at 2.36 TeV, for pseudorapidities between −2.4 and +2.4. At these energies, the measured pseudorapidity densities in the central region, dN ch /dη| |η|<0.5 , are 3.48 ± 0.02 (stat.) ± 0.13 (syst.) and 4.47 ± 0.04 (stat.) ± 0.16 (syst.), respectively. The results at 0.9 TeV are in agreement with previous measurements and confirm the expectation of near equal hadron production in pp and pp collisions. The results at 2.36 TeV represent the highest-energy measurements at a particle collider to date.
Using the entire CLEO-c c ð3770Þ ! D " D event sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 818 pb À1 and approximately 5:4 Â 10 6 D " D events, we present a study of the decays D 0 ! À e þ e , D 0 ! K À e þ e , D þ ! 0 e þ e , and D þ ! " K 0 e þ e . Via a tagged analysis technique, in which one D is fully reconstructed in a hadronic mode, partial rates for semileptonic decays by the other D are measured in several q 2 bins. We fit these rates using several form factor parametrizations and report the results, including form factor shape parameters and the branching fractions BðD 0 ! À e þ e Þ ¼ ð0:288 AE 0:008 AE 0:003Þ%, BðD 0 ! K À e þ e Þ ¼ ð3:50 AE 0:03 AE 0:04Þ%, BðD þ ! 0 e þ e Þ ¼ ð0:405 AE 0:016 AE 0:009Þ%, and BðD þ ! "K 0 e þ e Þ ¼ ð8:83 AE 0:10 AE 0:20Þ%, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. Taking input from lattice quantum chromodynamics, we also find jV cd j ¼ 0:234 AE 0:007 AE 0:002 AE 0:025 and jV cs j ¼ 0:985 AE 0:009 AE 0:006 AE 0:103, where the third uncertainties are from lattice quantum chromodynamics.
