With increasing instantaneous luminosity at the LHC come additional reconstruction
challenges. At high luminosity, many collisions occur simultaneously within one proton …

The success of the physics programme of the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC requires
the particles created in the LHC collisions to be reconstructed and identified as accurately as …

Modern general-purpose detectors at high-energy colliders are based on the concept of
cylindrical detection layers, nested around the beam axis. Starting from the beam interaction …

Searches for new phenomena that consider signatures with τ leptons have gained great
interest in proton-proton (pp) collisions at the CERN LHC. The most prominent one among …

A description is provided of the software algorithms developed for the CMS tracker both for
reconstructing charged-particle trajectories in proton-proton interactions and for using the …

The performance of muon reconstruction, identification, and triggering in CMS has been
studied using 40 pb− 1 of data collected in pp collisions at√ s= 7 TeV at the LHC in 2010. A …

Abstract At the Large Hadron Collider, the identification of jets originating from b quarks is
important for searches for new physics and for measurements of standard model processes …

A bstract High-energy colliders offer a unique sensitivity to dark photons, the mediators of a
broken dark U (1) gauge theory that kinetically mixes with the Standard Model (SM) …

Results are presented from a search for particle dark matter (DM), extra dimensions, and
unparticles using events containing a jet and an imbalance in transverse momentum. The …

Results on two-particle angular correlations for charged particles emitted in pPb collisions at
a nucleon–nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV are presented. The analysis uses two …
