Search for new physics with jets and missing transverse momentum in pp collisions at $ \sqrt {s} = 7 $ TeV
A search for new physics is presented based on an event signature of at least three jets accompanied by large missing transverse momentum, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb−1 collected in proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt {s} = 7 $ TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. No excess of events is observed above the expected standard model backgrounds, which are all estimated from the data. Exclusion limits are presented for the constrained minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model. Cross section limits are also presented using simplified models with new particles decaying to an undetected particle and one or two jets.

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: 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: 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 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: Measurement of WZ and ZZ production in pp collisions at $$\sqrt{s} = 8\,\text {TeV} $$s=8TeV in final states with b-tagged jets
abstract: Measurements are reported of the WZ and ZZ production cross sections in proton-proton collisions at $$\sqrt{s} = 8$$s=8$$\,\text {TeV}$$TeV in final states where one Z boson decays to b-tagged jets. The other gauge boson, either W or Z, is detected through its leptonic decay (either $$\mathrm {W}\rightarrow \mathrm {e}\nu $$W→eν, $$\mathrm {\mu }\nu $$μν or $$\mathrm {Z}\rightarrow \mathrm {e}^+\mathrm {e}^-$$Z→e+e-, $$\mathrm {\mu ^+}\mathrm {\mu ^-}$$μ+μ-, or $${\nu }\overline{\nu ). The results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 18.9 fb$$^{-1}$$-1 collected with the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The measured cross sections, $$\sigma (\mathrm {p}\mathrm {p}\rightarrow \mathrm {W}\mathrm {Z}) = 30.7 \pm 9.3\,\text {(stat.)} \pm 7.1\,\text {(syst.)} \pm 4.1\,\text {(th.)} \pm 1.0\,\text {(lum.)} \,\text {pb} $$σ(pp→WZ)=30.7±9.3(stat.)±7.1(syst.)±4.1(th.)±1.0(lum.)pb and $$\sigma (\mathrm {p}\mathrm {p}\rightarrow \mathrm {Z}\mathrm {Z}) = 6.5 \pm 1.7\,\text {(stat.)} \pm 1.0\,\text {(syst.)} \pm 0.9\,\text {(th.)} \pm 0.2\,\text {(lum.)} \,\text {pb} $$σ(pp→ZZ)=6.5±1.7(stat.)±1.0(syst.)±0.9(th.)±0.2(lum.)pb, are consistent with next-to-leading order quantum chromodynamics calculations.

title: POSITRON INJECTOR ACCELERATOR AND RF SYSTEM FOR THE ILC
abstract: Due to the extremely high energy deposition from positrons, electrons, photons and neutrons behind the positron target, and because a solenoid is required to focus the large emittance positron beam, the 1.3 GHz preaccelerator has to use normal conducting structures up to energy of 400 MeV. There are many challenges in the design of the normal-conducting portion of the ILC positron injector system such as obtaining high positron yield with required emittance, achieving adequate cooling with the high RF and particle loss heating, and sustaining high accelerator gradients during millisecond-long pulses in a strong magnetic field. Considering issues of feasibility, reliability and cost savings for the ILC, the proposed design for the positron injector contains both standing-wave (SW) and traveling-wave (TW) L-band accelerator structures. A short version of the new type of the SW section is under fabrication and testing. An updated status report is given. This paper also covers acceleration vs. deceleration for pre-accelerator sections, SW vs. TW structures, as well as longitudinal matching from target to linac and linac to damping ring.

title: Studies on electron cloud instability in the BEPC
abstract: The Electron Cloud Instability (ECI) may occur in a positively charged particle storage ring when the machine is operated with a multi-bunch beam. The related experiments have been carried out on the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC) since 1996. The phenomena of the ECI are mainly coupled bunch oscillation and transverse beam size blow up. The ECI studies at the BEPC are reviewed in this paper, both on experiments and on simulations. The potential methods to suppress the ECI in a positron storage ring have been summarized from the studies.

title: Search for diphoton events with large missing transverse momentum in 7 TeV proton-proton collision data with the ATLAS detector
abstract: A search for diphoton events with large missing transverse momentum has been performed using proton-proton collision data at is root s = 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.8 fb(-1). No excess of events was observed above the Standard Model prediction and model-dependent 95% confidence level exclusion limits are set. In the context of a generalised model of gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking with a bino-like lightest neutralino of mass above 50 GeV, gluinos (squarks) below 1.07 TeV (0.87 TeV) are excluded, while a breaking scale Lambda below 196 TeV is excluded for a minimal model of gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking. For a specific model with one universal extra dimension, compactification scales 1/R < 1.40 TeV are excluded. These limits provide the most stringent tests of these models to date.

title: A dynamo model for axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric solar magnetic fields
abstract: More and more observations are showing a relatively weak, but persistent, non-axisymmetric magnetic field co-existing with the dominant axisymmetric field on the Sun. Its existence indicates that the non-axisymmetric magnetic field plays an important role in the origin of solar activity. A linear non-axisymmetric α 2 ‐ � dynamo model is derived to explore the characteristics of the axisymmetric (m = 0) and the first non-axisymmetric (m = 1) modes and to provide a theoretical basis with which to explain the ‘active longitude’, ‘flip-flop’ and other non-axisymmetric phenomena. The model consists of an updated solar internal differential rotation, a turbulent diffusivity varying with depth, and an α-effect working at the tachocline in a rotating spherical system. The difference between the α 2 ‐� and the α‐� models and

title: Search for squarks and gluinos with the ATLAS detector in final states with jets and missing transverse momentum using 4.7 fb-1 of √s = 7 TeV proton-proton collision data
abstract: A search for squarks and gluinos in final states containing jets, missing transverse momentum and no high-p(T) electrons or muons is presented. The data represent the complete sample recorded in 2011 by the ATLAS experiment in 7 TeV proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider, with a total integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb(-1). No excess above the Standard Model background expectation is observed. Gluino masses below 860 GeV and squark masses below 1320 GeV are excluded at the 95% confidence level in simplified models containing only squarks of the first two generations, a gluino octet and a massless neutralino, for squark or gluino masses below 2 TeV, respectively. Squarks and gluinos with equal masses below 1410 GeV are excluded. In minimal supergravity/constrained minimal supersymmetric Standard Model models with tan beta = 10, A(0) = 0 and mu > 0, squarks and gluinos of equal mass are excluded for masses below 1360 GeV. Constraints are also placed on the parameter space of supersymmetric models with compressed spectra. These limits considerably extend the region of supersymmetric parameter space excluded by previous measurements with the ATLAS detector.
