The relative yields of ϒ mesons produced in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV and reconstructed via the dimuon decay channel are measured using data collected by the CMS experiment. Double ratios are formed by comparing the yields of the excited states, ϒ(2S) and ϒ(3S), to the ground state, ϒ(1S), in both Pb-Pb and pp collisions at the same center-of-mass energy.

Events with no charged particles produced between the two leading jets are studied in proton-proton collisions at . The jets were required to have transverse momentum and pseudorapidity , and to have values of with opposite signs. The data used for this study were collected with the CMS detector during low-luminosity running at the LHC, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 8 .

A study of the associated production of a boson and a charm quark jet ( ), and a comparison to production with a quark jet ( ), in collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 are presented. The analysis uses a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 , collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC.

The pp(Pb-Pb) data set used for this analysis corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 28.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFResults are reported from a search for supersymmetric particles in proton-proton collisions in the final state with a single lepton, multiple jets, including at least one b-tagged jet, and large missing transverse momentum. The search uses a sample of proton-proton collision data at sqrt[s]=13 TeV recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb^{-1}.
