Measurement of Higgs boson production and properties in the WW decay channel with leptonic final states
A bstractA search for the standard model Higgs boson decaying to a W-boson pair at the LHC is reported. The event sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb−1 and 19.4 fb−1 collected with the CMS detector in pp collisions at $ \sqrt{s} $ = 7 and 8 TeV, respectively. The Higgs boson candidates are selected in events with two or three charged leptons. An excess of events above background is observed, consistent with the expectation from the standard model Higgs boson with a mass of around 125 GeV. The probability to observe an excess equal or larger than the one seen, under the background-only hypothesis, corresponds to a significance of 4.3 standard deviations for mH = 125.6 GeV. The observed signal cross section times the branching fraction to WW for mH = 125.6 GeV is $ 0.72_{-0.18}^{+0.20 } $ times the standard model expectation. The spin-parity JP = 0+ hypothesis is favored against a narrow resonance with JP = 2+ or JP = 0− that decays to a W-boson pair. This result provides strong evidence for a Higgs-like boson decaying to a W-boson pair.

title: Search for new physics with same-sign isolated dilepton events with jets and missing transverse energy.
abstract: A search for new physics is performed in events with two same-sign isolated leptons, hadronic jets, and missing transverse energy in the final state. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.98 fb(-1) produced in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. This constitutes a factor of 140 increase in integrated luminosity over previously published results. The observed yields agree with the standard model predictions and thus no evidence for new physics is found. The observations are used to set upper limits on possible new physics contributions and to constrain supersymmetric models. To facilitate the interpretation of the data in a broader range of new physics scenarios, information on the event selection, detector response, and efficiencies is provided.

title: Search for heavy neutrinos and $$\mathrm {W}$$W bosons with right-handed couplings in proton–proton collisions at $$\sqrt{s} = 8\,\text {TeV} $$s=8TeV
abstract: A search for heavy, right-handed neutrinos, $$\mathrm {N}_{\ell }$$Nℓ ($$\ell = \mathrm {e}, \mu $$ℓ=e,μ), and right-handed $$\mathrm {W}_{\mathrm {R}}$$WR bosons, which arise in the left-right symmetric extensions of the standard model, has been performed by the CMS experiment. The search was based on a sample of two lepton plus two jet events collected in proton–proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8$$\,\text {TeV}$$TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 $$\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$$fb-1. For models with strict left-right symmetry, and assuming only one $$\mathrm {N}_{\ell }$$Nℓ flavor contributes significantly to the $$\mathrm {W}_{\mathrm {R}}$$WR decay width, the region in the two-dimensional $$(M_{\mathrm {W}_{\mathrm {R}}}, })$$(MWR,MNℓ) mass plane excluded at a 95 % confidence level extends to approximately $$M_{\mathrm {W}_{\mathrm {R}}} = 3.0\,\text {TeV} $$MWR=3.0TeV and covers a large range of neutrino masses below the $$\mathrm {W}_{\mathrm {R}}$$WR boson mass, depending on the value of $$M_{\mathrm {W}_{\mathrm {R}}}$$MWR. This search significantly extends the $$(M_{\mathrm {W}_{\mathrm {R}}}, })$$(MWR,MNℓ) exclusion region beyond previous results.

title: Search for new physics in events with same-sign dileptons and b-tagged jets in pp collisions at $ \sqrt {s} = 7 $ TeV
abstract: A bstractA search for new physics is performed using isolated same-sign dileptons with at least two b-quark jets in the final state. Results are based on a 4.98 fb−1 sample of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV collected by the CMS detector. No excess above the standard model background is observed. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are set on the number of events from non-standard-model sources. These limits are used to set constraints on a number of new physics models. Information on acceptance and efficiencies are also provided so that the results can be used to confront additional models in an approximate way.

title: Observation of the diphoton decay of the Higgs boson and measurement of its properties
abstract: Observation of the diphoton decay mode of the recently discovered Higgs boson and measurement of some of its properties are reported. The analysis uses the entire dataset collected by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions during the 2011 and 2012 LHC running periods. The data samples correspond to integrated luminosities of 5.1$$\,\text {fb}^\text {-1}$$fb-1at $$\sqrt{s}=7\,\text {TeV}\,$$s=7TeV and 19.7$$\,\text {fb}^\text {-1}$$fb-1at 8$$\,\text {TeV}$$TeV . A clear signal is observed in the diphoton channel at a mass close to 125$$\,\text {GeV}$$GeV with a local significance of $$5.7\,\sigma $$5.7σ, where a significance of $$5.2\,\sigma $$5.2σ is expected for the standard model Higgs boson. The mass is measured to be $$124.70\pm 0.34\,\text {GeV} \,=124.70\pm 0.31\,\text {(stat)}\,\pm 0.15\,\text {(syst)}\,\,\text {GeV} \,$$124.70±0.34GeV=124.70±0.31(stat)±0.15(syst)GeV , and the best-fit signal strength relative to the standard model prediction is $$1.14^\mathrm{+0.26}_{-0.23}=1.14\pm 0.21\,\text {(stat)}\,$$1.14-0.23+0.26=1.14±0.21(stat)$$^\mathrm{+0.09}_{-0.05}\,\text {(syst)}\,$$-0.05+0.09(syst)$$^\mathrm{+0.13}_{-0.09}\,\text {(theo)}\,$$-0.09+0.13(theo). Additional measurements include the signal strength modifiers associated with different production mechanisms, and hypothesis tests between spin-0 and spin-2 models.

title: Search for massive resonances decaying into pairs of boosted bosons in semi-leptonic final states at s$$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 8 TeV
abstract: A bstractA search for new resonances decaying to WW, ZZ, or WZ is presented. Final states are considered in which one of the vector bosons decays leptonically and the other hadronically. Results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1 recorded in proton-proton collisions at s$$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 8 TeV with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. Techniques aiming at identifying jet substructures are used to analyze signal events in which the hadronization products from the decay of highly boosted W or Z bosons are contained within a single reconstructed jet. Upper limits on the production of generic WW, ZZ, or WZ resonances are set as a function of the resonance mass and width. We increase the sensitivity of the analysis by statistically combining the results of this search with a complementary study of the all-hadronic final state. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are set on the bulk graviton production cross section in the range from 700 to 10 fb for resonance masses between 600 and 2500 GeV, respectively. These limits on the bulk graviton model are the most stringent to date in the diboson final state.

title: SDSS J160531.84+174826.1: A dwarf disk galaxy with an intermediate-mass black hole
abstract: We report the discovery of a dwarf Seyfert 1 active galactic nucleus (AGN) with a candidate intermediate-mass black hole, hosted by the dwarf galaxy SDSS J160531.84+174826.1 at z = 0.032. A broad component of the H alpha line with FWHM = 781 km s(-1) is detected in its optical spectrum, and a bright, pointlike nucleus is evident from a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging observation. Nonthermal X-ray emission is also detected from the nucleus. The black hole mass, as estimated from the luminosity and width of the broad H alpha component, is about 7 x 10(4) M.. The host galaxy appears to be a disk galaxy with a boxy bulge or nuclear bar. With an absolute magnitude of M-R = -17.8 (M-B = -16.4), it is among the least luminous host galaxies ever identified for a Seyfert 1.

title: Observation of a new particle in the search for the Standard Model Higgs boson with the ATLAS detector at the LHC
abstract: A search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in proton–proton collisions with the ATLAS detector at the LHC is presented. The datasets used correspond to integrated luminosities of approximately 4.8 fb−1 collected at View the MathML source in 2011 and 5.8 fb−1 at View the MathML source in 2012. Individual searches in the channels H→ZZ(⁎)→4l, H→γγ and H→WW(⁎)→eνμν in the 8 TeV data are combined with previously published results of searches for H→ZZ(⁎), WW(⁎), View the MathML source and τ+τ− in the 7 TeV data and results from improved analyses of the H→ZZ(⁎)→4l and H→γγ channels in the 7 TeV data. Clear evidence for the production of a neutral boson with a measured mass of View the MathML source is presented. This observation, which has a significance of 5.9 standard deviations, corresponding to a background fluctuation probability of 1.7×10−9, is compatible with the production and decay of the Standard Model Higgs boson.

title: Measurements of Higgs boson production and couplings in diboson final states with the ATLAS detector at the LHC
abstract: Measurements are presented of production properties and couplings of the recently discovered Higgs boson using the decays into boson pairs, H --> gamma-gamma, H --> ZZ* --> 4 leptons and H --> WW --> 2 leptons + 2 neutrinos. The results are based on the complete pp collision data sample recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider at centre-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 25/fb. Evidence for Higgs boson production through vector-boson fusion is reported. Results of combined fits probing Higgs boson couplings to fermions and bosons, as well as anomalous contributions to loop-induced production and decay modes, are presented. All measurements are consistent with expectations for the Standard Model Higgs boson.
