A search is described for the production of a pair of bottom-type vectorlike quarks (VLQs), each decaying into a $b$ or $\overline{b}$ quark and either a Higgs or a $Z$ boson, with a mass greater than 1000 GeV. The ...

The ratios of the ${B}_{c}{\left(2S\right)}^{+}$ to ${B}_{c}^{+}$, ${B}_{c}^{*}{\left(2S\right)}^{+}$ to ${B}_{c}^{+}$, and ${B}_{c}^{*}{\left(2S\right)}^{+}$ to ${B}_{c}{\left(2S\right)}^{+}$ production cross ...

A search is conducted for a low-mass charged Higgs boson produced in a top quark decay and subsequently decaying into a charm and a strange quark. The data sample was recorded in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13 ... • (2020) Ratios of cross sections, \(\sigma \left(Z+c\text{}\text{}\text{jets}\right)/\sigma \left(Z+\text{jets}\right)$, $\sigma \left(Z+b\text{}\text{}\text{jets}\right)/\sigma \left(Z+\text{jets}\right)$, and $\sigma ... • (2020) A search for the production of a narrow-width resonance decaying into a pair of Higgs bosons decaying into the \(bbZZ$ channel is presented. The analysis is based on data collected with the CMS detector during 2016, in ...
• (2020)
Results are reported from a search for new physics beyond the standard model in proton-proton collisions in final states with a single lepton; multiple jets, including at least one jet tagged as originating from the ...

The cross section of top quark pair production is measured in the $t\overline{t}\to \left(\ell {\nu }_{\ell }\right)\left({\tau }_{h}{\nu }_{\tau }\right)b\overline{b}$ final state, where $τ_{h}$ refers to the hadronic ...

Evidence is presented for the electroweak (EW) production of two jets (jj) in association with two Z bosons and constraints on anomalous quartic gauge couplings are set. The analysis is based on a data sample of proton-proton ...
• (2020)
A first observation is presented for the electroweak production of a W boson, a photon, and two jets in proton-proton collisions. The W boson decays are selected by requiring one identified electron or muon and an imbalance ...

The first direct, model-independent measurement is presented of the modulus of the Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements $|\eta |{V}_{\text{t}\text{b}}$, $|\eta |{V}_{\text{t}\text{d}}$, and $|\eta ... • (2020) A search is presented for long-lived charged particles that decay within the volume of the silicon tracker of the CMS experiment. Such particles can produce events with an isolated track that is missing hits in the outermost ... • (2020) The fiducial cross section for \(Y\left(1S\right)$ pair production in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in the region where both $Y\left(1S\right)$ mesons have an absolute rapidity below 2.0 ...
