Applications of cosmic-ray muons have grown in numbers in the last decades. This was
possible thanks to the development of detectors and techniques employed in particle and …

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 properties of a Higgs boson candidate are measured in the H→ ZZ→ 4 ℓ decay
channel, with ℓ= e, μ, using data from pp collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity …

We study the production of a single resonance at the LHC and its decay into a pair of Z
bosons. We demonstrate how full reconstruction of the final states allows us to determine the …

The first LHC pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 0.9 and 2.36 TeV were recorded by
the CMS detector in December 2009. The trajectories of charged particles produced in the …

Measurements of inclusive charged-hadron transverse-momentum and pseudorapidity
distributions are presented for proton-proton collisions at\(\sqrt {s}= 0.9\) and 2.36 TeV. The …

A bstract A measurement of the J/ψ and ψ (2S) production cross sections in pp collisions
at\(\sqrt {s}= 7 {\text {TeV}}\) with the CMS experiment at the LHC is presented. The data …

We present a new result based on an analysis of the data collected by the MEG detector at
the Paul Scherrer Institut in 2009 and 2010, in search of the lepton-flavor-violating decay …

The production of J/psi mesons is studied in pp collisions at sqrt (s)= 7 TeV with the CMS
experiment at the LHC. The measurement is based on a dimuon sample corresponding to …

The strategies for and the performance of the CMS silicon tracking system alignment during
the 2015–2018 data-taking period of the LHC are described. The alignment procedures …
