We present a study of the normalized transverse momentum distribution of W bosons produced in pp¯ collisions, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.35 fb-1 collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider...
Comparative evaluation of analogue front-end designs for the CMS Inner Tracker at the High Luminosity LHC, The CMS Collaboration, W. Adam, T. Bergauer, D. Blöch, M. Dragicevic, R. Frühwirth, and Julie M. Hogan
The CMS Inner Tracker, made of silicon pixel modules, will be entirely replaced prior to the start of the High Luminosity LHC period. One of the crucial components of the new Inner Tracker system is the readout chip, being developed by the ...
Selection of the silicon sensor thickness for the Phase-2 upgrade of the CMS Outer Tracker, The CMS Collaboration, W. Adam, T. Bergauer, D. Blöch, M. Dragicevic, R. Frühwirth, and Julie M. Hogan
During the operation of the CMS experiment at the High-Luminosity LHC the silicon sensors of the Phase-2 Outer Tracker will be exposed to radiation levels that could potentially deteriorate their performance. Previous studies had determined...
The CMS Phase-1 pixel detector upgrade, The CMS Collaboration, W. Adam, T. Bergauer, D. Blöch, M. Dragicevic, R. Frühwirth, and Julie M. Hogan
The CMS detector at the CERN LHC features a silicon pixel detector as its innermost subdetector. The original CMS pixel detector has been replaced with an upgraded pixel system (CMS Phase-1 pixel detector) in the extended year-end technical...
Studies of charm and beauty hadron long-range correlations in pp and pPb collisions at LHC energies, The CMS Collaboration, A. M. Sirunyan, A. Tumasyan, W. Adam, F. Ambrogi, B. Arnold, and Julie M. Hogan
Measurements of the second Fourier harmonic coefficient (v2) of the azimuthal distributions of prompt and nonprompt D0 mesons produced in pp and pPb collisions are presented. Nonprompt D0 mesons come from beauty hadron decays. The data samp...
Correlations of azimuthal anisotropy Fourier harmonics with subevent cumulants in pPb collisions at sNN =8.16 TeV, The CMS Collaboration, A. M. Sirunyan, A. Tumasyan, W. Adam, F. Ambrogi, E. Asilar, and Julie M. Hogan
Event-by-event long-range correlations of azimuthal anisotropy Fourier coefficients (vn) in 8.16 TeV pPb data, collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, are extracted using a subevent four-particle cumulant techniqu...
Erratum to: Measurement of single-diffractive dijet production in proton–proton collisions at s = 8 Te with the CMS and TOTEM experiments (The European Physical Journal C, (2020), 80, 12, (1164), 10.1140/epjc/s10052-020-08562-y), The CMS Collaboration, A. M. Sirunyan, A. Tumasyan, W. Adam, F. Ambrogi, E. Asilar, and Julie M. Hogan
The original PDF version of this article was revised as the Open Access license text was missing and the funding note “Funded by SCOAP3” as well. The original article has been corrected....
Constraints on the Initial State of Pb-Pb Collisions via Measurements of Z -Boson Yields and Azimuthal Anisotropy at sNN =5.02 TeV, The CMS Collaboration, A. M. Sirunyan, A. Tumasyan, W. Adam, F. Ambrogi, T. Bergauer, and Julie M. Hogan
The CMS experiment at the LHC has measured the differential cross sections of Z bosons decaying to pairs of leptons, as functions of transverse momentum and rapidity, in lead-lead collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.0...
