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.
A search for narrow resonances in the dijet mass spectrum is performed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.9 pb⁻¹ collected by the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. 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, or gluon-gluon pairs. The data exclude new particles predicted in the following models at the 95% confidence level: string resonances, with mass less than 2.50 TeV, excited quarks, with mass less than 1.58 TeV, and axigluons, colorons, and E6 diquarks, in specific mass intervals. This extends previously published limits on these models.
Jet production in PbPb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV was studied with the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the LHC, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6.7 μb −1 . Jets are reconstructed using the energy deposited in the CMS calorimeters and studied as a function of collision centrality. With increasing collision centrality, a striking imbalance in dijet transverse momentum is observed, consistent with jet quenching. The observed effect extends from the lower cutoff used in this study (jet p T = 120 GeV/c) up to the statistical limit of the available data sample (jet p T ≈ 210 GeV/c). Correlations of charged particle tracks with jets indicate that the momentum imbalance is accompanied by a softening of the fragmentation pattern of the second most energetic, away-side jet. The dijet momentum balance is recovered when integrating low transverse momentum particles distributed over a wide angular range relative to the direction of the away-side jet.
A search for inclusive muon-neutrino (v^) oscillations has been performed in the Fermilab narrow-band neutrino beam using two detectors running simultaneously at two distances from the neutrino source. The data show no evidence for a distance dependence of the neutrino flux and rule out oscillations of v^ into any other single type of neutrino for 30 < Am 2 < 1000 eV 2 /c 4 and sin 2 (20) > 0.02-0.20.
We determine the top quark mass m t using t t pairs produced in the DO " detector by ͱsϭ1.8 TeV pp collisions in a 125 pb Ϫ1 exposure at the Fermilab Tevatron. We make a two constraint fit to m t in t t→bW ϩ b W Ϫ final states with one W boson decaying to qq and the other to e or . Likelihood fits to the data yield m t (lϩjets)ϭ173.3Ϯ5.6 (stat) Ϯ 5.5 (syst) GeV/c 2 . When this result is combined with an analysis of events in which both W bosons decay into leptons, we obtain m t ϭ172.1Ϯ5.2 (stat) Ϯ 4.9 (syst) GeV/c 2 . An alternate analysis, using three constraint fits to fixed top quark masses, gives m t (lϩjets)ϭ176.0 Ϯ7.9 (stat)Ϯ 4.8 (syst) GeV/c 2 , consistent with the above result. Studies of kinematic distributions of the top quark candidates are also presented. ͓S0556-2821͑98͒06815-5͔
