    Measurement of multijet azimuthal correlations and determination of the strong coupling in proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV

    , European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, Vol: 84, ISSN: 1124-1861

    A measurement is presented of a ratio observable that provides a measure of the azimuthal correlationsamong jets with large transverse momentum pT . This observable is measured in multijet events over the range of pT = 360–3170 GeV based on data collected by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 134 fb−1 . The results are compared with predictions fromMonte Carlo parton-shower event generator simulations, aswell as with fixed-order perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD) predictions at next-to-leading-order (NLO) accuracy obtained with different parton distribution functions (PDFs) and corrected for nonperturbative and electroweak effects. Data and theory agree within uncertainties. From the comparison of the measured observable with the pQCD prediction obtained with the NNPDF3.1 NLO PDFs, the strong coupling at the Z boson mass scale is αS(mZ) = 0.1177 ± 0.0013 (exp)+0.0116−0.0073 (theo) = 0.1177+0.0117−0.0074 , where the total uncertainty is dominated by the scale dependenceof the fixed-order predictions. A test of the running of αS inthe TeV region shows no deviation from the expected NLOpQCD behaviour.

    In-depth analysis of LISA Pathfinder performance results: Time evolution, noise projection, physical models, and implications for LISA

    , Physical Review D, Vol: 110, ISSN: 2470-0010

    We present an in-depth analysis of the LISA Pathfinder differential acceleration performance over the entire course of its science operations, spanning approximately 500 days. We find: (1) The evolution of the Brownian noise that dominates the acceleration amplitude spectral density (ASD), for frequencies f≳1 mHz, is consistent with the decaying pressure due to the outgassing of a single gaseous species. (2) Between f=36 μHz and 1 mHz, the acceleration ASD shows a 1/f tail in excess of the Brownian noise of almost constant amplitude, with ≃20% fluctuations over a period of a few days, with no particular time pattern over the course of the mission. (3) At the lowest considered frequency of f=18 μHz, the ASD significantly deviates from the 1/f behavior, because of temperature fluctuations that appear to modulate a quasistatic pressure gradient, sustained by the asymmetries of the outgassing pattern. We also present the results of a projection of the observed acceleration noise on the potential sources for which we had either a direct correlation measurement or a quantitative estimate from dedicated experiments. These sources account for approximately 40% of the noise power in the 1/f tail. Finally, we analyze the possible sources of the remaining unexplained fraction and identify the possible measures that may be taken to keep those under control in LISA.

    Combination of measurements of the top quark mass from data collected by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at sqrt[s]=7 and 8 TeV

    , Physical Review Letters, Vol: 132, ISSN: 0031-9007

    A combination of fifteen top quark mass measurements performed by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC is presented. The datasets used correspond to an integrated luminosity of up to 5 and 20  fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, respectively. The combination includes measurements in top quark pair events that exploit both the semileptonic and hadronic decays of the top quark, and a measurement using events enriched in single top quark production via the electroweak 𝑡 channel. The combination accounts for the correlations between measurements and achieves an improvement in the total uncertainty of 31% relative to the most precise input measurement. The result is 𝑚𝑡=172.52±0.14⁢(stat)±0.30⁢(syst)  GeV, with a total uncertainty of 0.33 GeV.

    Measurement of Energy Correlators inside Jets and Determination of the Strong Coupling α_{S}(m_{Z})

    , Physical Review Letters, Vol: 133, ISSN: 0031-9007

    Energy correlators that describe energy-weighted distances between two or three particles in a hadronic jet are measured using an event sample of √𝑠=13  TeV proton-proton collisions collected by the CMS experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.3  fb−1. The measured distributions are consistent with the trends in the simulation that reveal two key features of the strong interaction: confinement and asymptotic freedom. By comparing the ratio of the measured three- and two-particle energy correlator distributions with theoretical calculations that resum collinear emissions at approximate next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic accuracy matched to a next-to-leading-order calculation, the strong coupling is determined at the 𝑍 boson mass: 𝛼𝑆⁡(𝑚𝑍)=0.122⁢9+0.0040−0.0050, the most precise 𝛼𝑆⁡(𝑚𝑍) value obtained using jet substructure observables.

    Constraints on anomalous Higgs boson couplings from its production and decay using the WW channel in proton–proton collisions at sqrt{s} = 13 TeV

    , The European Physical Journal C, Vol: 84

    A study of the anomalous couplings of the Higgs boson to vector bosons, including CP-violation effects, has been conducted using its production and decay in the WW channel. This analysis is performed on proton–proton collision data collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC during 2016–2018 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb¯¹. The different-flavor dilepton(eμ) final state is analyzed, with dedicated categories targeting gluon fusion, electroweak vector boson fusion, and associated production with a W or Z boson. Kinematic information from associated jets is combined using matrix element techniques to increase the sensitivity to anomalous effects at the production vertex. A simultaneous measurement of four Higgs boson couplings to electroweak vector bosons is performed in the framework of a standard model effective field theory. All measurements are consistent with the expectations for the standard model Higgs boson and constraints are set on the fractional contribution of the anomalous couplings to the Higgs boson production cross section.

    Study of b-hadron decays to Λc+h−h′− final states

    , Journal of High Energy Physics, Vol: 2024

    Decays of Ξb− and Ωb− baryons to Λc+h−h′− final states, with h−h′− being π−π−, K−π− and K−K− meson pairs, are searched for using data collected with the LHCb detector. The data sample studied corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 8.7 fb−1 of pp collisions collected at centre-of-mass energies s = 7, 8 and 13 TeV. The products of the relative branching fractions and fragmentation fractions for each signal mode, relative to the B−→Λc+p¯π− mode, are measured, with Ξb−→Λc+K−π−, Ξb−→Λc+K−K− and Ωb−→Λc+K−K− decays being observed at over 5 σ significance. The Ξb−→Λc+K−π− mode is also used to measure the Ξb− production asymmetry, which is found to be consistent with zero. In addition, the B−→Λc+p¯K− decay is observed for the first time, and its branching fraction is measured relative to that of the B−→Λc+p¯π− mode.

    Doping liquid argon with xenon in ProtoDUNE Single-Phase: effects on scintillation light

    , Journal of Instrumentation, Vol: 19

    Doping of liquid argon TPCs (LArTPCs) with a small concentration of xenon is a technique for light-shifting and facilitates the detection of the liquid argon scintillation light. In this paper, we present the results of the first doping test ever performed in a kiloton-scale LArTPC. From February to May 2020, we carried out this special run in the single-phase DUNE Far Detector prototype (ProtoDUNE-SP) at CERN, featuring 720 t of total liquid argon mass with 410 t of fiducial mass. A 5.4 ppm nitrogen contamination was present during the xenon doping campaign. The goal of the run was to measure the light and charge response of the detector to the addition of xenon, up to a concentration of 18.8 ppm. The main purpose was to test the possibility for reduction of nonuniformities in light collection, caused by deployment of photon detectors only within the anode planes. Light collection was analysed as a function of the xenon concentration, by using the pre-existing photon detection system (PDS) of ProtoDUNE-SP and an additional smaller set-up installed specifically for this run. In this paper we first summarize our current understanding of the argon-xenon energy transfer process and the impact of the presence of nitrogen in argon with and without xenon dopant. We then describe the key elements of ProtoDUNE-SP and the injection method deployed. Two dedicated photon detectors were able to collect the light produced by xenon and the total light. The ratio of these components was measured to be about 0.65 as 18.8 ppm of xenon were injected. We performed studies of the collection efficiency as a function of the distance between tracks and light detectors, demonstrating enhanced uniformity of response for the anode-mounted PDS. We also show that xenon doping can substantially recover light losses due to contamination of the liquid argon by nitrogen.

    New methods and simulations for cosmogenic induced spallation removal in Super-Kamiokande-IV

    , Physical Review D, ISSN: 2470-0010

    Radioactivity induced by cosmic muon spallation is a dominant source of backgrounds for O(10 MeV) neutrino interactions in water Cherenkov detectors. In particular, it is crucial to reduce backgrounds to measure the solar neutrino spectrum and find neutrino interactions from distant supernovae. In this paper we introduce new techniques to locate muon-induced hadronic showers and efficiently reject spallation backgrounds. Applying these techniques to the solar neutrino analysis with an exposure of 2790×22.5 kton·day increases the signal efficiency by 12.6%, approximately corresponding to an additional year of detector running. Furthermore, we present the first spallation simulation at Super-Kamiokande, where we model hadronic interactions using fluka. The agreement between the isotope yields and shower pattern in this simulation and in the data gives confidence in the accuracy of this simulation, and thus opens the door to use it to optimize muon spallation removal in new data with gadolinium-enhanced neutron capture detection.

    Search for prompt production of pentaquarks in charm hadron final states

    , Physical Review D, Vol: 110, ISSN: 2470-0010

    A search for hidden-charm pentaquark states decaying to a range of ςcD¯ and Λc+D¯ final states, as well as doubly charmed pentaquark states to ςcD and Λc+D, is made using samples of proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.7 fb-1 recorded by the LHCb detector at s=13 TeV. Since no significant signals are found, upper limits are set on the pentaquark yields relative to that of the Λc+ baryon in the Λc+→pK-π+ decay mode. The known pentaquark states are also investigated, and their signal yields are found to be consistent with zero in all cases.

    Search for new physics in high-mass diphoton events from proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV

    , Journal of High Energy Physics, Vol: 2024

    Results are presented from a search for new physics in high-mass diphoton events from proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV. The data set was collected in 2016–2018 with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1. Events with a diphoton invariant mass greater than 500 GeV are considered. Two different techniques are used to predict the standard model backgrounds: parametric fits to the smoothly-falling background and a first-principles calculation of the standard model diphoton spectrum at next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative quantum chromodynamics calculations. The first technique is sensitive to resonant excesses while the second technique can identify broad differences in the invariant mass shape. The data are used to constrain the production of heavy Higgs bosons, Randall-Sundrum gravitons, the large extra dimensions model of Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, and Dvali (ADD), and the continuum clockwork mechanism. No statistically significant excess is observed. The present results are the strongest limits to date on ADD extra dimensions and RS gravitons with a coupling parameter greater than 0.1.

    Amplitude analysis and branching fraction measurement of B+→D∗−Ds+π+ decays

    , Journal of High Energy Physics, Vol: 2024

    The decays of the B+ meson to the final state D∗−Ds+π+ are studied in proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1. The ratio of branching fractions of the B+→D∗−Ds+π+ and B0→D∗−Ds+ decays is measured to be 0.173 ± 0.006 ± 0.010, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. Using partially reconstructed Ds∗+→Ds+γ and Ds+π0 decays, the ratio of branching fractions between the B+→D∗−Ds∗+π+ and B+→D∗−Ds+π+ decays is determined as 1.31 ± 0.07 ± 0.14. An amplitude analysis of the B+→D∗−Ds+π+ decay is performed for the first time, revealing dominant contributions from known excited charm resonances decaying to the D*−π+ final state. No significant evidence of exotic contributions in the Ds+π+ or D∗−Ds+ channels is found. The fit fraction of the scalar state Tcs¯0∗2900++ observed in the B+→D−Ds+π+ decay is determined to be less than 2.3% at a 90% confidence level.

    Search for long-lived particles decaying in the CMS muon detectors in proton-proton collisions at √𝑠 =13  TeV

    , Physical Review D: Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology, Vol: 110, ISSN: 1550-2368

    A search for long-lived particles (LLPs) decaying in the CMS muon detectors is presented. A data sample of proton-proton collisions at √𝑠 =13  TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138  fb−1, recorded at the LHC in 2016–2018, is used. The decays of LLPs are reconstructed as high multiplicity clusters of hits in the muon detectors. In the context of twin Higgs models, the search is sensitive to LLP masses from 0.4 to 55 GeV and a broad range of LLP decay modes, including decays to hadrons, 𝜏 leptons, electrons, or photons. No excess of events above the standard model background is observed. The most stringent limits to date from LHC data are set on the branching fraction of the Higgs boson decay to a pair of LLPs with masses below 10 GeV. This search also provides the best limits for various intervals of LLP proper decay length and mass. Finally, this search sets the first limits at the LHC on a dark quantum chromodynamic sector whose particles couple to the Higgs boson through gluon, Higgs boson, photon, vector, and dark-photon portals, and is sensitive to branching fractions of the Higgs boson to dark quarks as low as 2 ×10−3.

    The DUNE far detector vertical drift technology Technical design report

    , Journal of Instrumentation, Vol: 19

    DUNE is an international experiment dedicated to addressing some of the questions at the forefront of particle physics and astrophysics, including the mystifying preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early universe. The dual-site experiment will employ an intense neutrino beam focused on a near and a far detector as it aims to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy and to make high-precision measurements of the PMNS matrix parameters, including the CP-violating phase. It will also stand ready to observe supernova neutrino bursts, and seeks to observe nucleon decay as a signature of a grand unified theory underlying the standard model. The DUNE far detector implements liquid argon time-projection chamber (LArTPC) technology, and combines the many tens-of-kiloton fiducial mass necessary for rare event searches with the sub-centimeter spatial resolution required to image those events with high precision. The addition of a photon detection system enhances physics capabilities for all DUNE physics drivers and opens prospects for further physics explorations. Given its size, the far detector will be implemented as a set of modules, with LArTPC designs that differ from one another as newer technologies arise. In the vertical drift LArTPC design, a horizontal cathode bisects the detector, creating two stacked drift volumes in which ionization charges drift towards anodes at either the top or bottom. The anodes are composed of perforated PCB layers with conductive strips, enabling reconstruction in 3D. Light-trap-style photon detection modules are placed both on the cryostat's side walls and on the central cathode where they are optically powered. This Technical Design Report describes in detail the technical implementations of each subsystem of this LArTPC that, together with the other far detector modules and the near detector, will enable DUNE to achieve its physics goals.

    Multiplicity and transverse momentum dependence of charge-balance functions in pPb and PbPb collisions at LHC energies

    , Journal of High Energy Physics, Vol: 2024

    Measurements of the charge-dependent two-particle angular correlation function in proton-lead (pPb) collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of sNN = 8.16 TeV and lead-lead (PbPb) collisions at sNN = 5.02 TeV are reported. The pPb and PbPb data sets correspond to integrated luminosities of 186 nb−1 and 0.607 nb−1, respectively, and were collected using the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The charge-dependent correlations are characterized by balance functions of same- and opposite-sign particle pairs. The balance functions, which contain information about the creation time of charged particle pairs and the development of collectivity, are studied as functions of relative pseudorapidity (∆η) and relative azimuthal angle (∆ϕ), for various multiplicity and transverse momentum (pT) intervals. A multiplicity dependence of the balance function is observed in ∆η and ∆ϕ for both systems. The width of the balance functions decreases towards high-multiplicity collisions in the momentum region < 2 GeV, for pPb and PbPb results. Integrals of the balance functions are presented in both systems, and a mild dependence of the charge-balancing fractions on multiplicity is observed. No multiplicity dependence is observed at higher transverse momentum. The data are compared with hydjet, hijing, and ampt generator predictions, none of which capture completely the multiplicity dependence seen in the data. The comparison of results with different center-of-mass energies suggests that the balance functions become narrower at higher energies, which is consistent with the idea of delayed hadronization and the effect of radial flow.

    The design, implementation, and performance of the LZ calibration systems

    , Journal of Instrumentation, Vol: 19

    LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a tonne-scale experiment searching for direct dark matter interactions and other rare events. It is located at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota, USA. The core of the LZ detector is a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC), designed with the primary goal of detecting Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) via their induced low energy nuclear recoils. Surrounding the TPC, two veto detectors immersed in an ultra-pure water tank enable reducing background events to enhance the discovery potential. Intricate calibration systems are purposely designed to precisely understand the responses of these three detector volumes to various types of particle interactions and to demonstrate LZ’s ability to discriminate between signals and backgrounds. In this paper, we present a comprehensive discussion of the key features, requirements, and performance of the LZ calibration systems, which play a crucial role in enabling LZ’s WIMP-search and its broad science program.

    Evidence for tWZ production in proton-proton collisions at s=13 TeV in multilepton final states

    , Physics Letters B, Vol: 855, ISSN: 0370-2693

    The first evidence for the standard model production of a top quark in association with a W boson and a Z bosonis reported. The measurement is performed in multilepton final states, where the Z boson is reconstructed via itsdecays to electron or muon pairs. At least one W boson, associated or from top quark decay, decays leptonically,too. The analysed data were recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC in 2016–2018 in proton-protoncollisions at √𝑠 = 13 TeV, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1. The measured cross section is354 ± 54(stat) ± 95(syst) fb, and corresponds to a statistical significance of 3.4 standard deviations.

The final states considered include at least one leptonically decaying W boson. No evidence for the presence of a signal is observed and corresponding upper limits on the HH production cross section are derived. The limit on the inclusive cross section of the nonresonant HH production, assuming that the distributions of kinematic observables are as expected in the standard model (SM), is observed (expected) to be 14 (18) times the value predicted by the SM, at 95% confidence level. The limits on the cross section are also presented as functions of various Higgs boson coupling modifiers, and anomalous Higgs boson coupling scenarios. In addition, limits are set on the resonant HH production via spin-0 and spin-2 resonances within the mass range 250–900 GeV.</jats:p>

    Effect of structural, magnetic, magnetocaloric, and electrical polarization properties for multiferroic double perovskite Lu<inf>2</inf>CoCrO<inf>6</inf> compound

    , Journal of Applied Physics, Vol: 136, ISSN: 0021-8979

    We synthesized the Lu 2 CoCrO 6 compound, multiferroic member of double perovskite system, by sol-gel method and then investigated the crystal structure, magnetization, magnetocaloric effect (MCE), and electrical polarization study. The analysis of powder x-ray diffraction pattern confirms that the monoclinic crystal structure with P2 1 /n space group is better fitting for the Lu 2 CoCrO 6 compound. Distribution between Co and Cr ions at the B-site is not perfectly ordered. Partial ordering between these B-site cations leads to a certain degree of disorder due to the presence of antisite defects and antiphase boundaries. These anti-site disorders (in the B-site) generate various fascinating magnetic phenomena. Although the temperature dependent inverse susceptibility plot shows predominant antiferromagnetic ground state in this system, simultaneously, a second order magnetic phase transition was observed from the Arrott plot. Moreover, the isothermal magnetization study confirms the coexistence of antiferromagnetic (AFM) and ferromagnetic (FM) phases below the transition temperature. The investigation of the magnetocaloric effect shows that the AFM phase of the system converts into the FM phases above critical field values. However, the breakdown of universal behavior of MCE in the paramagnetic region confirms the coexistence of the AFM phase as a secondary phase within the FM matrix. In addition, at lower temperatures, we observe a clear and well-defined ferroelectric hysteresis loop, suggesting ferroelectricity in the material. From these results, we conclude that Lu 2 CoCrO 6 is a multiferroic material in which the coexisting magnetic and multiferroic phases appear to be correlated and weak magneto-electric coupling was also observed. Furthermore, our experimental results help to encourage basic fundamental as well as applied research on rare-earth and transition metal based double perovskite systems due to their complex exchange interaction and multiferroic beha

    First Simultaneous Measurement of Differential Muon-Neutrino Charged-Current Cross Sections on Argon for Final States with and without Protons Using MicroBooNE Data.

    , Phys Rev Lett, Vol: 133

    We report the first double-differential neutrino-argon cross section measurement made simultaneously for final states with and without protons for the inclusive muon neutrino charged-current interaction channel. The proton kinematics of this channel are further explored with a differential cross section measurement as a function of the leading proton's kinetic energy that extends across the detection threshold. These measurements use data collected with the MicroBooNE detector from 6.4×10^{20} protons on target from the Fermilab booster neutrino beam with a mean neutrino energy of ∼0.8  GeV. Extensive data-driven model validation utilizing the conditional constraint formalism is employed. This motivates enlarging the uncertainties with an empirical reweighting approach to minimize the possibility of extracting biased cross section results. The extracted nominal flux-averaged cross sections are compared to widely used event generator predictions revealing severe mismodeling of final states without protons for muon neutrino charged-current interactions, possibly from insufficient treatment of final state interactions. These measurements provide a wealth of new information useful for improving event generators which will enhance the sensitivity of precision measurements in neutrino experiments.

    Observation of the ϒ(3S) meson and suppression of ϒ states in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02  TeV

    , Physical Review Letters, Vol: 133, ISSN: 0031-9007

    The production of ϒ⁡(2⁢𝑆) and ϒ⁡(3⁢𝑆) mesons in lead-lead (Pb-Pb) and proton-proton (𝑝⁢𝑝) collisions is studied in their dimuon decay channel using the CMS detector at the LHC. The ϒ⁡(3⁢𝑆) meson is observed for the first time in Pb-Pb collisions, with a significance above 5 standard deviations. The ratios of yields measured in Pb-Pb and 𝑝⁢𝑝 collisions are reported for both the ϒ⁡(2⁢𝑆) and ϒ⁡(3⁢𝑆) mesons, as functions of transverse momentum and Pb-Pb collision centrality. These ratios, when appropriately scaled, are significantly less than unity, indicating a suppression of ϒ yields in Pb-Pb collisions. This suppression increases from peripheral to central Pb-Pb collisions. Furthermore, the suppression is stronger for ϒ⁡(3⁢𝑆) mesons compared to ϒ⁡(2⁢𝑆) mesons, extending the pattern of sequential suppression of quarkonium states in nuclear collisions previously seen for the 𝐽/𝜓, 𝜓⁡(2⁢𝑆), ϒ⁡(1⁢𝑆), and ϒ⁡(2⁢𝑆) mesons.

    A systematic investigation of the magnetic, electrical resistivity, and magnetoresistance (MR) properties has been performed on glassy compound (Dy0.6Gd0.4)5Pd2. The magnetic measurement data confirm the presence of double-glass transition nature of this compound. Electrical resistivity exhibits metallic behaviour above 170 K (to 300 K). However, resistivity increases rapidly with a decrease in temperature below 170 K for (Dy0.6Gd0.4)5Pd2 compound revealing a non-metallic behaviour due to the presence of an inhomogeneous electronic state at a low-temperature regime. The isothermal magnetoresistance curves exhibit a negative effect down to −5% (while no effect can be observed at 100 K in the paramagnetic state). A spatially complex inhomogeneous state (atomic disorder, magnetic frustration) is responsible for negative magnetoresistance.
