Measurement Of The Lepton Charge Asymmetry In Inclusive W Production In Pp Collisions At √S = 7 Tev, S. Chatrchyan, Marc M. Baarmand, B. Dorney, Samir Guragain, Marcus Hohlmann, Himali Kalakhety, Robert M. Ralich, Igor Vodopiyanov, The Cms Collaboration Jan 2011

A measurement of the lepton charge asymmetry in inclusive pp → WX production at √s = 7 TeV is presented based on data recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb−1. This high precision measurement of the lepton charge asymmetry, performed in both the W → eν and W → μν channels, provides new insights into parton distribution functions.


Charged Particle Multiplicities In Pp Interactions At √S = 0.9, 2.36, And 7 Tev, V. Khachatryan, Marc M. Baarmand, B. Dorney, Samir Guragain, Marcus Hohlmann, Himali Kalakhety, Robert M. Ralich, Igor Vodopiyanov, The Cms Collaboration Jan 2011

Measurements of primary charged hadron multiplicity distributions are presented for non-single-diffractive events in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of √s = 0.9, 2.36, and 7 TeV, in five pseudorapidity ranges from |η| < 0.5 to |η| < 2.4. The data were collected with the minimum-bias trigger of the CMS experiment during the LHC commissioning runs in 2009 and the 7 TeV run in 2010. The multiplicity distribution at √s = 0.9 TeV is in agreement with previous measurements. At higher energies the increase of the mean multiplicity with √s is underestimated by most event generators. The average transverse momentum as a function of the multiplicity is also presented. The measurement of higher-order moments of the multiplicity distribution confirms the violation of Koba-Nielsen-Olesen scaling that has been observed at lower energies.


Search For Supersymmetry In Pp Collisions At √S = 7 Tev In Events With A Single Lepton, Jets, And Missing Transverse, S. Chatrchyan, Marc M. Baarmand, B. Dorney, Samir Guragain, Marcus Hohlmann, Himali Kalakhety, Robert M. Ralich, Igor Vodopiyanov, The Cms Collaboration Jan 2011

Results are reported from a search for physics beyond the standard model in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, focusing on the signature with a single, isolated, high-transverse-momentum lepton (electron or muon), energetic jets, and large missing transverse momentum. The data sample comprises an integrated luminosity of 36 pb−1, recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The search is motivated by models of new physics, including supersymmetry. The observed event yields are consistent with standard model backgrounds predicted using control samples obtained from the data. The characteristics of the event sample are consistent with those expected …


Observation Of Long-Range, Near-Side Angular Correlations In Proton-Proton Collisions At The Lhc, Vardan Khachatryan, Marc M. Baarmand, B. Dorney, Samir Guragain, Marcus Hohlmann, H. Kalakhety, Robert M. Ralich, Igor Vodopiyanov, The Cms Collaboration Jan 2010

Results on two-particle angular correlations for charged particles emitted in proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 0.9, 2.36, and 7TeV are presented, using data collected with the CMS detector over a broad range of pseudorapidity (η) and azimuthal angle (φ). Short-range correlations in Δη, which are studied in minimum bias events, are characterized using a simple "independent cluster" parametrization in order to quantify their strength (cluster size) and their extent in η (cluster decay width). Long-range azimuthal correlations are studied differentially as a function of charged particle multiplicity and particle transverse momentum using a 980 nb -1 data set at …
