Search for proton decay via p →e+η and p →μ+η with a 0.37 Mton-year exposure of Super-Kamiokande
, Physical Review D, Vol: 110, ISSN: 2470-0010A search for proton decay into e+/μ+ and a η meson has been performed using data from a 0.373 Mton·year exposure (6050.3 live days) of Super-Kamiokande. Compared to previous searches this work introduces an improved model of the intranuclear η interaction cross section, resulting in a factor of 2 reduction in uncertainties from this source and ∼10% increase in signal efficiency. No significant data excess was found above the expected number of atmospheric neutrino background events resulting in no indication of proton decay into either mode. Lower limits on the proton partial lifetime of 1.4×1034 years for p→e+η and 7.3×1033 years for p→μ+η at the 90% CL were set. These limits are around 1.5 times longer than our previous study and are the most stringent to date.

Measurement of the effective leptonic weak mixing angle
, Journal of High Energy Physics, Vol: 2024Using pp collision data at s = 13 TeV, recorded by the LHCb experiment between 2016 and 2018 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb−1, the forward-backward asymmetry in the pp → Z/γ* → μ+μ− process is measured. The measurement is carried out in ten intervals of the difference between the muon pseudorapidities, within a fiducial region covering dimuon masses between 66 and 116 GeV, muon pseudorapidities between 2.0 and 4.5 and muon transverse momenta above 20 GeV. These forward-backward asymmetries are compared with predictions, at next-to-leading order in the strong and electroweak couplings. The measured effective leptonic weak mixing angle is (Formula presented.) where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second arises from systematic uncertainties associated with the asymmetry measurement, and the third arises from uncertainties in the fit model used to extract sin2θeffℓ from the asymmetry measurement. This result is based on an arithmetic average of results using the CT18, MSHT20, and NNPDF31 parameterisations of the proton internal structure, and is consistent with previous measurements and with predictions from the global electroweak fit.

Portable acceleration of CMS computing workflows with coprocessors as a service
, Computing and Software for Big Science, Vol: 8, ISSN: 2510-2036Computing demands for large scientific experiments, such as the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC, will increase dramatically in the next decades. To complement the future performance increases of software running on central processing units (CPUs), explorations of coprocessor usage in data processing hold great potential and interest. Coprocessors are a class of computer processors that supplement CPUs, often improving the execution of certain functions due to architectural design choices. We explore the approach of Services for Optimized Network Inference on Coprocessors (SONIC) and study the deployment of this as-a-service approach in large-scale data processing. In the studies, we take a data processing workflow of the CMS experiment and run the main workflow on CPUs, while offloading several machine learning (ML) inference tasks onto either remote or local coprocessors, specifically graphics processing units (GPUs). With experiments performed at Google Cloud, the Purdue Tier-2 computing center, and combinations of the two, we demonstrate the acceleration of these ML algorithms individually on coprocessors and the corresponding throughput improvement for the entire workflow. This approach can be easily generalized to different types of coprocessors and deployed on local CPUs without decreasing the throughput performance. We emphasize that the SONIC approach enables high coprocessor usage and enables the portability to run workflows on different types of coprocessors.

The CMS statistical analysis and combination tool: COMBINE
, Computing and Software for Big Science, Vol: 8, ISSN: 2510-2036This paper describes the Combine software package used for statistical analyses by the CMS Collaboration. The package, originally designed to perform searches for a Higgs boson and the combined analysis of those searches, has evolved to become the statistical analysis tool presently used in the majority of measurements and searches performed by the CMS Collaboration. It is not specific to the CMS experiment, and this paper is intended to serve as a reference for users outside of the CMS Collaboration, providing an outline of the most salient features and capabilities. Readers are provided with the possibility to run Combine and reproduce examples provided in this paper using a publicly available container image. Since the package is constantly evolving to meet the demands of ever-increasing data sets and analysis sophistication, this paper cannot cover all details of Combine. However, the online documentation referenced within this paper provides an up-to-date and complete user guide.

Constraints on Covariant Dark-Matter-Nucleon Effective Field Theory Interactions from the First Science Run of the LUX-ZEPLIN Experiment.
, Phys Rev Lett, Vol: 133The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is a dual-phase xenon time project chamber operating in the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota, USA. We report on the results of a relativistic extension to the nonrelativistic effective field theory (NREFT) from a 5.5 t fiducial mass and 60 live days of exposure. We present constraints on couplings from covariant interactions arising from the coupling of vector, axial currents, and electric dipole moments of the nucleon to the magnetic and electric dipole moments of the weakly interacting massive particle which cannot be described by recasting previous results described by an NREFT. Using a profile-likelihood ratio analysis, in an energy region between 0 keV_{nr} to 270 keV_{nr}, we report 90% confidence level exclusion limits on the coupling strength of five interactions in both the isoscalar and isovector bases.

Searches for pair-produced multijet resonances using data scouting in proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV
, Physical Review Letters, Vol: 133, ISSN: 0031-9007Searches for pair-produced multijet signatures using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 128 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at √𝑠=13 TeV are presented. A data scouting technique is employed to record events with low jet scalar transverse momentum sum values. The electroweak production of particles predicted in 𝑅-parity violating supersymmetric models is probed for the first time with fully hadronic final states. This is the first search for prompt hadronically decaying mass-degenerate higgsinos, and extends current exclusions on 𝑅-parity violating top squarks and gluinos.

Search for soft unclustered energy patterns in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV
, Physical Review Letters, Vol: 133, ISSN: 0031-9007The first search for soft unclustered energy patterns (SUEPs) is performed using an integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at √𝑠=13 TeV, collected in 2016–2018 by the CMS detector at the LHC. Such SUEPs are predicted by hidden valley models with a new, confining force with a large ’t Hooft coupling. In events with boosted topologies, selected by high-threshold hadronic triggers, the multiplicity and sphericity of clustered tracks are used to reject the background from standard model quantum chromodynamics. With no observed excess of events over the standard model expectation, limits are set on the cross section for production via gluon fusion of a scalar mediator with SUEP-like decays.

Improving neutrino energy estimation of charged-current interaction events with recurrent neural networks in MicroBooNE
, Physical Review D, Vol: 110, ISSN: 2470-0010We present a deep learning-based method for estimating the neutrino energy of charged-current neutrino-argon interactions. We employ a recurrent neural network (RNN) architecture for neutrino energy estimation in the MicroBooNE experiment, utilizing liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) detector technology. Traditional energy estimation approaches in LArTPCs, which largely rely on reconstructing and summing visible energies, often experience sizable biases and resolution smearing because of the complex nature of neutrino interactions and the detector response. The estimation of neutrino energy can be improved after considering the kinematics information of reconstructed final-state particles. Utilizing kinematic information of reconstructed particles, the deep learning-based approach shows improved resolution and reduced bias for the muon neutrino Monte Carlo simulation sample compared to the traditional approach. In order to address the common concern about the effectiveness of this method on experimental data, the RNN-based energy estimator is further examined and validated with dedicated data-simulation consistency tests using MicroBooNE data. We also assess its potential impact on a neutrino oscillation study after accounting for all statistical and systematic uncertainties and show that it enhances physics sensitivity. This method has good potential to improve the performance of other physics analyses.

Probing the nature of the χ<inf>c1</inf>(3872) state using radiative decays
, Journal of High Energy Physics, Vol: 2024Abstract: The radiative decays χc1(3872) → ψ(2S) γ and χc1(3872) → J/ψγ are used to probe the nature of the χc1(3872) state using proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1. Using the B+ → χc1(3872)K+ decay, the χc1(3872) → ψ(2S) γ process is observed for the first time and the ratio of its partial width to that of the χc1(3872) → J/ψγ decay is measured to be (Formula presented.) where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third is due to the uncertainties on the branching fractions of the ψ(2S) and J/ψ mesons. The measured ratio makes the interpretation of the χc1(3872) state as a pure D0D¯∗0 + D¯0 D*0 molecule questionable and strongly indicates a sizeable compact charmonium or tetraquark component within the χc1(3872) state.

First measurement of the total inelastic cross section of positively charged kaons on argon at energies between 5.0 and 7.5 GeV
, Physical Review D: Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology, Vol: 110, ISSN: 1550-2368ProtoDUNE Single-Phase (ProtoDUNE-SP) is a 770-ton liquid argon time projection chamber that operated in a hadron test beam at the CERN Neutrino Platform in 2018. We present a measurement of the total inelastic cross section of charged kaons on argon as a function of kaon energy using 6 and 7 GeV/𝑐 beam momentum settings. The flux-weighted average of the extracted inelastic cross section at each beam momentum setting was measured to be 380±26 mbarns for the 6 GeV/𝑐 setting and 379±35 mbarns for the 7 GeV/𝑐 setting.

Observation of double J/ψ meson production inpPb collisions at √sNN = 8.16 TeV
, Physical Review D: Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology, Vol: 110, ISSN: 1550-2368The first observation of the concurrent production of two 𝐽/𝜓 mesons in proton-nucleus collisions is presented. The analysis is based on a proton-lead (𝑝Pb) data sample recorded at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 8.16 TeV by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 174.6 nb−1. The two 𝐽/𝜓 mesons are reconstructed in their 𝜇+𝜇− decay channels with transverse momenta 𝑝T >6.5 GeV and rapidity |𝑦| <2.4. Events where one of the 𝐽/𝜓 mesons is reconstructed in the dielectron channel are also considered in the search. The 𝑝Pb →𝐽/𝜓𝐽/𝜓+𝑋 process is observed with a significance of 5.3 standard deviations. The measured inclusive fiducial cross section, using the four-muon channel alone, is 𝜎(𝑝Pb →𝐽/𝜓𝐽/𝜓 +𝑋) = 22.0 ±8.9(stat) ±1.5(syst) nb. A fit of the data to the expected rapidity separation for pairs of 𝐽/𝜓 mesons produced in single (SPS) and double (DPS) parton scatterings yields 𝜎𝑝Pb→𝐽/𝜓𝐽/𝜓+𝑋SPS=16.5±10.8(stat)±0.1(syst) nb and 𝜎𝑝Pb→𝐽/𝜓𝐽/𝜓+𝑋DPS =5.4 ±6.2(stat) ±0.4(syst) nb, respectively. This latter result can be transformed into a lower bound on the effective DPS cross section, closely related to the squared average interparton transverse separation in the collision, of 𝜎eff >1.0 mb at 95% confidence level.

Measurement of the D<sup>*</sup> longitudinal polarization in B0 →d<sup>*-</sup>τ<sup>+</sup>ν<inf>τ</inf> decays
, Physical Review D, Vol: 110, ISSN: 2470-0010The longitudinal polarization fraction of the D* meson is measured in B0→D*-τ+ντ decays, where the τ lepton decays to three charged pions and a neutrino, using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5 fb-1. The D* polarization fraction FLD* is measured in two q2 regions, below and above 7 GeV2/c4, where q2 is defined as the squared invariant mass of the τντ system. The FLD∗ values are measured to be 0.52±0.07±0.04 and 0.34±0.08±0.02 for the lower and higher q2 regions, respectively. The first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The average value over the whole q2 range is FLD∗=0.41±0.06±0.03. These results are compatible with the Standard Model predictions.

Observation of quantum entanglement in top quark pair production in proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV
, Reports on Progress in Physics, Vol: 87, ISSN: 0034-4885Entanglement is an intrinsic property of quantum mechanics and is predicted to be exhibited in the particles produced at the Large Hadron Collider. A measurement of the extent of entanglement in top quark-antiquark ( t t ¯ ) events produced in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV is performed with the data recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC in 2016, and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.3 fb−1. The events are selected based on the presence of two leptons with opposite charges and high transverse momentum. An entanglement-sensitive observable D is derived from the top quark spin-dependent parts of the t t ¯ production density matrix and measured in the region of the t t ¯ production threshold. Values of D < − 1 / 3 are evidence of entanglement and D is observed (expected) to be − 0.480 − 0.029 + 0.026 ( − 0.467 − 0.029 + 0.026 ) at the parton level. With an observed significance of 5.1 standard deviations with respect to the non-entangled hypothesis, this provides observation of quantum mechanical entanglement within t t ¯ pairs in this phase space. This measurement provides a new probe of quantum mechanics at the highest energies ever produced.

The data acquisition system of the LZ dark matter detector: FADR
, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, Vol: 1068, ISSN: 0168-9002The Data Acquisition System (DAQ) for the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) dark matter detector is described. The signals from 745 PMTs, distributed across three subsystems, are sampled with 100-MHz 32-channel digitizers (DDC-32s). A basic waveform analysis is carried out on the on-board Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) to extract information about the observed scintillation and electroluminescence signals. This information is used to determine if the digitized waveforms should be preserved for offline analysis. The system is designed around the Kintex-7 FPGA. In addition to digitizing the PMT signals and providing basic event selection in real time, the flexibility provided by the use of FPGAs allows us to monitor the performance of the detector and the DAQ in parallel to normal data acquisition. The hardware and software/firmware of this FPGA-based Architecture for Data acquisition and Realtime monitoring (FADR) are discussed and performance measurements are described.

Up and down quark structure of the proton
, Physical Review D, Vol: 110, ISSN: 2470-0010We report an improved measurement of the valence u and d quark distributions from the forward-backward asymmetry in the Drell-Yan process using 8.6 fb-1 of data collected with the D0 detector in pp¯ collisions at s=1.96. This analysis provides the values of new structure parameters that are directly related to the valence up and down quark distributions in the proton. In other experimental results measuring the quark content of the proton, d quark contributions are mixed with those from other quark flavors. In this measurement, the u and d quark contributions are separately extracted by applying a factorization of the QCD and electroweak portions of the forward-backward asymmetry.

Using graph neural networks to reconstruct charged pion showers in the CMS High Granularity Calorimeter
, Journal of Instrumentation, Vol: 19A novel method to reconstruct the energy of hadronic showers in the CMS High Granularity Calorimeter (HGCAL) is presented. The HGCAL is a sampling calorimeter with very fine transverse and longitudinal granularity. The active media are silicon sensors and scintillator tiles readout by SiPMs and the absorbers are a combination of lead and Cu/CuW in the electromagnetic section, and steel in the hadronic section. The shower reconstruction method is based on graph neural networks and it makes use of a dynamic reduction network architecture. It is shown that the algorithm is able to capture and mitigate the main effects that normally hinder the reconstruction of hadronic showers using classical reconstruction methods, by compensating for fluctuations in the multiplicity, energy, and spatial distributions of the shower's constituents. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated using test beam data collected in 2018 prototype of the CMS HGCAL accompanied by a section of the CALICE AHCAL prototype. The capability of the method to mitigate the impact of energy leakage from the calorimeter is also demonstrated.

Measurement of the polarizations of prompt and non-prompt J/ψ and ψ(2S) mesons produced in pp collisions at √𝑠 = 13TeV
, Physics Letters B: Nuclear Physics and Particle Physics, Vol: 858, ISSN: 0370-2693The polarizations of prompt and non-prompt J∕ψ and ψ(2S) mesons are measured in proton-proton collisionsat √𝑠 = 13TeV, using data samples collected by the CMS experiment in 2017 and 2018, corresponding to atotal integrated luminosity of 103.3 fb−1. Based on the analysis of the dimuon decay angular distributions inthe helicity frame, the polar anisotropy, 𝜆𝜗, is measured as a function of the transverse momentum, 𝑝T, of thecharmonium states, in the 25–120 and 20–100 GeV ranges for the J∕ψ and ψ(2S), respectively. The non-promptpolarizations agree with predictions based on the hypothesis that, for 𝑝T ≳ 25GeV, the non-prompt J∕ψ and ψ(2S)are predominantly produced in two-body B meson decays. The prompt results clearly exclude strong transversepolarizations, even for 𝑝T exceeding 30 times the J∕ψ mass, where 𝜆𝜗 tends to an asymptotic value around 0.3.Taken together with previous measurements, by CMS and LHCb at √𝑠 = 7TeV, the prompt polarizations show asignificant variation with 𝑝T, at low 𝑝T.

Performance of the CMS high-level trigger during LHC Run 2
, Journal of Instrumentation, Vol: 19, ISSN: 1748-0221The CERN LHC provided proton and heavy ion collisions during its Run 2 operation period from 2015 to 2018. Proton-proton collisions reached a peak instantaneous luminosity of 2.1× 1034 cm-2s-1, twice the initial design value, at √(s)=13 TeV. The CMS experiment records a subset of the collisions for further processing as part of its online selection of data for physics analyses, using a two-level trigger system: the Level-1 trigger, implemented in custom-designed electronics, and the high-level trigger, a streamlined version of the offline reconstruction software running on a large computer farm. This paper presents the performance of the CMS high-level trigger system during LHC Run 2 for physics objects, such as leptons, jets, and missing transverse momentum, which meet the broad needs of the CMS physics program and the challenge of the evolving LHC and detector conditions. Sophisticated algorithms that were originally used in offline reconstruction were deployed online. Highlights include a machine-learning b tagging algorithm and a reconstruction algorithm for tau leptons that decay hadronically.

First demonstration of a combined light and charge pixel readout on the anode plane of a LArTPC
, Journal of Instrumentation, Vol: 19, ISSN: 1748-0221The novel SoLAr concept aims to extend sensitivities of liquid-argon neutrino detectors down to the MeV scale for next-generation detectors. SoLAr plans to accomplish this with a liquid-argon time projection chamber that employs an anode plane with dual charge and light readout, which enables precision matching of light and charge signals for data acquisition and reconstruction purposes. We present the results of a first demonstration of the SoLAr detector concept with a small-scale prototype detector integrating a pixel-based charge readout and silicon photomultipliers on a shared printed circuit board. We discuss the design of the prototype, and its operation and performance, highlighting the capability of such a detector design.

Search for the 𝑍 boson decay to 𝜏𝜏𝜇𝜇 in proton-proton collisions at √𝑠=13 TeV
, Physical Review Letters, Vol: 133, ISSN: 0031-9007The first search for the 𝑍 boson decay to 𝜏𝜏𝜇𝜇 at the CERN LHC is presented, based on data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1. The data are compatible with the predicted background. For the first time, an upper limit at the 95% confidence level of 6.9 times the standard model expectation is placed on the ratio of the 𝑍 →𝜏𝜏𝜇𝜇 to 𝑍 →4𝜇 branching fractions. Limits are also placed on the six flavor-conserving four-lepton effective-field-theory operators involving two muons and two tau leptons, for the first time testing all such operators.

Magnetization reversal in nanocrystalline Gd0.5Sr0.5MnO3
, Physical Review B, Vol: 110, ISSN: 2469-9950Negative magnetization phenomenon is an unusual magnetic behavior where magnetic ordering temperature of two or more types of constituent magnetic moments are believed to be different. This magnetization crossover from positive to negative at low temperatures has triggered interest due to its futuristic potential applications in spintronics. In the present article, our experimental and theoretical results manifest the magnetization reversal in nanocrystalline Gd0.5Sr0.5MnO3 compounds, while this intrinsic effect of negative magnetization is absent in the bulk form. We argue that the antiferromagnetic interactions between Gd sublattice and Mn sublattices increases with decreasing particle size of the Gd0.5Sr0.5MnO3 compound as we go from bulk to nanocrystalline compounds and hence exhibits the negative magnetization in nanocrystalline compounds at low temperatures. We implement Monte Carlo simulation based on classical Heisenberg model supplemented by magnetocrystalline anisotropy to emphasize the key role of this antiferromagnetic interaction among Gd and Mn sublattices by systematically studying negative magnetization.

Measurements of the charge ratio and polarization of cosmic-ray muons with the Super-Kamiokande detector
, ISSN: 2470-0010We present the results of the charge ratio (R) and polarization (P0μ) measurements using decay electron events collected between September 2008 and June 2022 with the Super-Kamiokande detector. Because of its underground location and long operation, we are able to perform high-precision measurements by accumulating cosmic-ray muons. We measured the muon charge ratio to be R=1.32±0.02(stat+syst) at EμcosθZenith=0.7-0.2+0.3 TeV, where Eμ is the muon energy and θZenith is the zenith angle of incoming cosmic-ray muons. This result is consistent with the Honda flux model while indicating a tension with the πK model of 1.9σ. We also measured the muon polarization at the production location to be P0μ=0.52±0.02 (stat+syst) at the muon momentum of 0.9-0.1+0.6 TeV/c at the surface of the mountain; this also suggests a tension with the Honda flux model of 1.5σ. This is the most precise measurement ever to experimentally determine the cosmic-ray muon polarization near 1 TeV/c. These measurement results are useful to improve atmospheric neutrino simulations.

Observation of enhanced long-range elliptic anisotropies inside high-multiplicity jets in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV
, Physical Review Letters, Vol: 133, ISSN: 0031-9007A search for collective effects inside jets produced in proton-proton collisions is performed via correlation measurements of charged particles using the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The analysis uses data collected at a center-of-mass energy of √𝑠 =13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1. Jets are reconstructed with the anti-𝑘T algorithm with a distance parameter of 0.8 and are required to have transverse momentum greater than 550 GeV and pseudorapidity |𝜂jet|<1.6. Two-particle correlations among the charged particles within the jets are studied as functions of the particles’ azimuthal angle and pseudorapidity separations (Δ𝜙* and Δ𝜂*) in a jet coordinate basis, where particles’ 𝜂*, 𝜙* are defined relative to the direction of the jet. The correlation functions are studied in classes of in-jet charged-particle multiplicity up to 𝑁jch ≈100. Fourier harmonics are extracted from long-range azimuthal correlation functions to characterize azimuthal anisotropy for |Δ𝜂*| >2. For low-𝑁jch jets, the long-range elliptic anisotropic harmonic, 𝑣*2, is observed to decrease with 𝑁jch. This trend is well described by Monte Carlo event generators. However, a rising trend for 𝑣*2 emerges at 𝑁jch ≳80, hinting at a possible onset of collective behavior, which is not reproduced by the models tested. This observation yields new insights into the dynamics of jet evolution in the vacuum.
