A first result of the search for nu(mu)->nu(e) oscillations in the OPERA experiment, located at the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory, is presented. The experiment looked for the appearance of nu(e) in the CNGS neutrino beam using the data collected in 2008 and 2009. Data are compatible with the non-oscillation hypothesis in the three-flavour mixing model. A further analysis of the same data constrains the non-standard oscillation parameters theta(new) and Delta m(new)(2) suggested by the LSND and MiniBooNE experiments. For large Delta m(new)(2) values (>0.1 eV(2)), the OPERA 90% C.L. upper limit on sin(2)(2 theta(new)) based on a Bayesian statistical method reaches the value 7.2 x 10(-3).

Search for direct pair production of scalar top quarks in the single- and dilepton channels in proton-proton collisions at root s=8 TeV Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2016-07-01) are reported from a search for the top squark (t) over tilde (1) , the lighter of the two supersymmetric partners of the top quark. The data sample corresponds to 19.7 fb(-1) of proton-proton collisions at root sv - 8 TeV collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. The search targets (t) over tilde (1)-> b (x(1)) over tilde (+/-) and (t) over tilde (1)-> t((*)) (x) over tilde (0) decay modes, where (x(1)) over tilde (+/-) and (x) over tilde (0) are the lightest chargino and neutralino, respectively. The rec...
Observation of the Lambda(0)(b) -> J/psi Lambda phi decay in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2020-03-01) The observation of the Lambda(0)(b) -> J/psi Lambda phi decay is reported using proton-proton collision data collected at root s = 13TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 60fb(-1). The ratio of the branching fractions B(Lambda(0)(b) -> J/psi Lambda phi)/B(Lambda(0)(b) > psi(2S)Lambda) is measured to be (8.26 +/- 0.90 (stat) +/- 0.68 (syst) +/- 0.11 (B)) x 10(-2), where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the last uncertaint...
Search for t(t)over-barH production in the all-jet final state in proton-proton collisions root s=13 TeV Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-06-01) A search is presented for the associated production of a Higgs boson with a top quark pair in the all-jet final state. Events containing seven or more jets are selected from a sample of proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in 2016, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1). To separate the t (t) over barH signal from the irreducible t (t) over bar + b (b) over bar background, the analysis assigns leading order matrix element signal and backgro...
Search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a W or a Z boson and decaying to bottom quarks Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (American Physical Society (APS), 2014-01-01) A search for the standard model Higgs boson (H) decaying to b (b) over bar when produced in association with a weak vector boson (V) is reported for the following channels: W(mu nu)H, W(e nu)H, W(tau nu)H, Z(mu mu)H, Z(ee)H and Z(nu nu)H. The search is performed in data samples corresponding to integrated luminosities of up to 5.1 inverse femtobarns at root s = 7 TeV and up to 18.9 fb(-1) at root s = 8 TeV, recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC. An excess of events is observed above the expected backgro...
Search for anomalous t(t)over-bar production in the highly-boosted all-hadronic final state Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-09-01) A search is presented for a massive particle, generically referred to as a Z', decaying into a t (t) over bar pair. The search focuses on Z' resonances that are sufficiently massive to produce highly Lorentz-boosted top quarks, which yield collimated decay products that are partially or fully merged into single jets. The analysis uses new methods to analyze jet substructure, providing suppression of the non-top multijet backgrounds. The analysis is based on a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a cen...
