Using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of collected by the CMS experiment at , the decay is observed for the first time, with a statistical significance exceeding 5 standard deviations. The relative branching fraction, with respect to the decay, is measured to be , where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is related to the uncertainties in and .

A search for collective effects inside jets produced in proton-proton collisions is performed via correlation measurements of charged particles using the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The analysis uses data collected at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt[s]=13  TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138  fb^{-1}. Jets are reconstructed with the anti-k_{T} algorithm with a distance parameter of 0.

Purpose: Pediatric trigger thumb is a common condition resulting in referral from primary care to specialty care. Access to pediatric hand specialty care is a complex issue influenced by a multitude of social factors, including socioeconomic status. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between area deprivation and the time from primary care referral to presentation to specialty care for pediatric trigger thumb.

Importance: There are no definitive guidelines for use of postoperative antibiotics after sacral neuromodulation (SNM) leading to practice pattern variation among health care professionals.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to determine if additional antibiotics beyond preoperative intravenous antibiotics and surgical preparation decrease postoperative infections and to determine if additional antibiotics are associated with other postoperative complications.

Study Design: This was a single-center, retrospective cohort study of all SNM procedures from 2014 to 2023 performed by 12 surgeons.

The production of ϒ(2S) and ϒ(3S) mesons in lead-lead (Pb-Pb) and proton-proton (pp) collisions is studied in their dimuon decay channel using the CMS detector at the LHC. The ϒ(3S) meson is observed for the first time in Pb-Pb collisions, with a significance above 5 standard deviations. The ratios of yields measured in Pb-Pb and pp collisions are reported for both the ϒ(2S) and ϒ(3S) mesons, as functions of transverse momentum and Pb-Pb collision centrality.
