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.

The search uses proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb^{-1} at sqrt[s]=13 TeV, collected at the CERN LHC. No significant deviations from the background predictions are observed between 1.

- * The measurements utilized both semileptonic and hadronic decays of top quarks, along with events focused on single top quark production in the electroweak t channel.
- * The combined result for the top quark mass is 172.52 GeV, with a reduced total uncertainty of 0.33 GeV, showcasing an improvement of 31% over previous measurements.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how the ratio of production fractions of B_{s}^{0} and B^{+} hadrons (f_{s}/f_{u}) varies with the transverse momentum (p_{T}) and rapidity of B mesons using data from proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment in 2018.
- - It finds that the f_{s}/f_{u} ratio depends on transverse momentum but becomes roughly constant at high p_{T}, while there is no observed dependence on rapidity.
- - Additionally, the production ratio of B^{0} to B^{+} mesons (f_{d}/f_{u}) is measured for the first time in
A search for nonresonant Higgs boson (H) pair production via gluon and vector boson (V) fusion is performed in the four-bottom-quark final state, using proton-proton collision data at 13 TeV corresponding to 138 fb^{-1} collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The analysis targets Lorentz-boosted H pairs identified using a graph neural network. It constrains the strengths relative to the standard model of the H self-coupling and the quartic VVHH couplings, κ_{2V}, excluding κ_{2V}=0 for the first time, with a significance of 6.
