Differential production cross sections of prompt J/ψ and ψ(2S) charmonium and Υ(nS) (n = 1, 2, 3) bottomonium states are measured in proton-proton collisions at √ s = 13 TeV, with data collected by the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb −1 for the J/ψ and 2.7 fb −1 for the other mesons. The five quarkonium states are reconstructed in the dimuon decay channel, for dimuon rapidity |y| < 1.2. The double-differential cross sections for each state are measured as a function of y and transverse momentum, and compared to theoretical expectations. In addition, ratios are presented of cross sections for prompt ψ(2S) to J/ψ, Υ(2S) to Υ(1S), and Υ(3S) to Υ(1S) production.The analysis uses dimuon events collected in pp collisions at √ s = 13 TeV with the CMS detector. The central feature of the CMS apparatus is a superconducting solenoid of 6 m internal diameter, providing a magnetic field of 3.8 T. Within the solenoid volume are a silicon pixel and strip tracker, a lead tungstate crystal electromagnetic calorimeter, and a brass and scintillator hadron calorimeter, each composed of a barrel and two endcap sections. Forward calorimeters extend the pseudorapidity (η) coverage provided by the barrel and endcap detectors. Muons are detected in gas-ionization chambers embedded in the steel flux-return yoke outside the solenoid [37]. A more detailed description of the CMS detector, together with a definition of the coordinate system used and the relevant kinematic variables, can be found in Ref. [38].The data were collected using a multilevel trigger system [39]. The first level (L1), made of custom hardware processors providing coarse momentum information, requires two muons within the range |η| < 1.6 without requesting an explicit p T threshold on the individual muons. Second (L2) and third (L3) levels, collectively known as the HLT (High-Level Trigger), are implemented in software. At these levels, the muon selection is refined, then opposite-charge muon candidates are paired and required to have an invariant mass in the regions 2.9-3.3, 3.35-4.05, or 8.5-11 GeV for the J/ψ, ψ(2S), and Υ(nS), respectively. The dimuon p T is required to be above 9.9 GeV for the J/ψ and above 7.9 GeV for the remaining states. For all five states, the dimuon rapidity is restricted to |y| < 1.25. A fit of the positions and momenta of the two muon candidates to a common vertex is performed, and the fit χ 2 probability is required to be above 0.5%. The sample collected with these triggers has a total integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb −1 for the J/ψ and 2.7 fb −1 for the other mesons. The lower value for the J/ψ is the consequence of the trigger prescaling that was applied to limit the rate during part of the data taking, when the instantaneous luminosity increased.When reconstructing the five states offline, further requirements are applied: only muons with p µ T > 4.5 GeV in the range |η µ | < 0.3, or p µ T > 4.0 GeV in the range 0.3 < |η µ | < 1.4 are selected. The muons have to match the triggered pair and b...
The CMS Inner Tracker, made of silicon pixel modules, will be entirely replaced prior to the start of the High Luminosity LHC period. One of the crucial components of the new Inner Tracker system is the readout chip, being developed by the RD53 Collaboration, and in particular its analogue front-end, which receives the signal from the sensor and digitizes it. Three different analogue front-ends (Synchronous, Linear, and Differential) were designed and implemented in the RD53A demonstrator chip. A dedicated evaluation program was carried out to select the most suitable design to build a radiation tolerant pixel detector able to sustain high particle rates with high efficiency and a small fraction of spurious pixel hits. The test results showed that all three analogue front-ends presented strong points, but also limitations. The Differential front-end demonstrated very low noise, but the threshold tuning became problematic after irradiation. Moreover, a saturation in the preamplifier feedback loop affected the return of the signal to baseline and thus increased the dead time. The Synchronous front-end showed very good timing performance, but also higher noise. For the Linear front-end all of the parameters were within specification, although this design had the largest time walk. This limitation was addressed and mitigated in an improved design. The analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the three front-ends in the context of the CMS Inner Tracker operation requirements led to the selection of the improved design Linear front-end for integration in the final CMS readout chip.
Bose-Einstein correlations of charged hadrons are measured over a broad multiplicity range, from a few particles up to about 250 reconstructed charged hadrons in protonproton collisions at √ s = 13 TeV. The results are based on data collected using the CMS detector at the LHC during runs with a special low-pileup configuration. Three analysis techniques with different degrees of dependence on simulations are used to remove the non-Bose-Einstein background from the correlation functions. All three methods give consistent results. The measured lengths of homogeneity are studied as functions of particle multiplicity as well as average pair transverse momentum and mass. The results are compared with data from both CMS and ATLAS at √ s = 7 TeV, as well as with theoretical predictions.
