Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how the number of charged particles produced in proton-lead collisions changes depending on how central the collision is, using data collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider.
  • It focuses on measuring the mean charged-particle multiplicity across various pseudorapidity values and finds that the particle distribution demonstrates significant variation based on collision centrality, becoming more asymmetric as collisions become more central.
  • Three models are used to estimate the number of nucleons involved in the collision, revealing differing outcomes for charged-particle multiplicities, which emphasizes the need to consider color fluctuations in these interactions for more accurate modeling.

The production of jets associated to bottom quarks is measured for the first time in PbPb collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV per nucleon pair. Jet spectra are reported in the transverse momentum (p(T)) range of 80-250  GeV/c, and within pseudorapidity |η|<2.

Many of the interesting physics processes to be measured at the LHC have a signature involving one or more isolated electrons. The electron reconstruction and identification efficiencies of the ATLAS detector at the LHC have been evaluated using proton-proton collision data collected in 2011 at [Formula: see text] TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb[Formula: see text].

The suppression of the individual Υ(nS) states in PbPb collisions with respect to their yields in pp data has been measured. The PbPb and pp data sets used in the analysis correspond to integrated luminosities of 150 μb(-1) and 230 nb(-1), respectively, collected in 2011 by the CMS experiment at the LHC, at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 2.76 TeV.

Article Synopsis
  • A search for supersymmetric processes in proton-proton collisions at 8 TeV was conducted using 11.7 fb of data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC.
  • The study focused on distinguishing events with real versus mismeasured missing transverse energy by analyzing jet counts, their energy sum, and identifying bottom quark jets.
  • Results showed no significant excess of events compared to standard model predictions, leading to exclusion limits for gluino and squark masses, with gluino masses up to 1125 GeV and squark masses up to 600 GeV being ruled out, depending on the specific models considered.

The transverse energy (E(T)) in Pb-Pb collisions at 2.76 TeV nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy (√(s(NN)) has been measured over a broad range of pseudorapidity (η) and collision centrality by using the CMS detector at the LHC. The transverse energy density per unit pseudorapidity (dE(T)/dη) increases faster with collision energy than the charged particle multiplicity.

A comparison of the relative yields of Υ resonances in the μ(+)μ(-) decay channel in Pb-Pb and pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 2.76 TeV is performed with data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. Using muons of transverse momentum above 4  GeV/c and pseudorapidity below 2.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers conducted a search for Z bosons using the μ(+)μ(-) decay channel in lead-lead collisions at high energy levels (√S(NN)=2.76 TeV) with the CMS detector.
  • They identified a total of 39 opposite-sign muon pairs in the invariant mass range of 60-120 GeV/c², leading to a calculated yield per event of approximately [33.8±5.5(stat)±4.4(syst)]×10(-8) in a rapidity range of |y|<2.0.
  • The observed results align with next-to-leading order QCD predictions when adjusted for the number of incoherent nucleon-nucleon collisions.

By using the ATLAS detector, observations have been made of a centrality-dependent dijet asymmetry in the collisions of lead ions at the Large Hadron Collider. In a sample of lead-lead events with a per-nucleon center of mass energy of 2.76 TeV, selected with a minimum bias trigger, jets are reconstructed in fine-grained, longitudinally segmented electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters.

Charged-hadron transverse-momentum and pseudorapidity distributions in proton-proton collisions at square root of s = 7  TeV are measured with the inner tracking system of the CMS detector at the LHC. The charged-hadron yield is obtained by counting the number of reconstructed hits, hit pairs, and fully reconstructed charged-particle tracks. The combination of the three methods gives a charged-particle multiplicity per unit of pseudorapidity dN(ch)/dη|(|η|<0.
