Article Citation - WoS: 86Citation - Scopus: 109Study of Z Boson Production in Pbpb Collisions at ?s Nn=2.76tev(American Physical Society, 2011) Karapınar, Güler; Demir, Durmuş AliA search for Z bosons in the μ+μ- decay channel has been performed in PbPb collisions at √sNN=2.76TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC, in a 7.2μb-1 data sample. The number of opposite-sign muon pairs observed in the 60-120GeV/c2 invariant mass range is 39, corresponding to a yield per unit of rapidity (y) and per minimum bias event of [33.8±5.5(stat)±4.4(syst)]×10-8, in the |y|<2.0 range. Rapidity, transverse momentum, and centrality dependencies are also measured. The results agree with next-to-leading order QCD calculations, scaled by the number of incoherent nucleon-nucleon collisions. © 2011 American Physical Society.Article Citation - WoS: 243Citation - Scopus: 216Indications of Suppression of Excited? States in Pb-Pb Collisions at Snn2.76 Tev(American Physical Society, 2011) Karapınar, Güler; Demir, Durmuş AliA comparison of the relative yields of Υ resonances in the μ+μ- decay channel in Pb-Pb and pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 2.76TeV is performed with data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. Using muons of transverse momentum above 4GeV/c and pseudorapidity below 2.4, the double ratio of the Υ(2S) and Υ(3S) excited states to the Υ(1S) ground state in Pb-Pb and pp collisions, [Υ(2S+3S)/Υ(1S)]Pb-Pb/[Υ(2S+3S)/Υ(1S) ]pp, is found to be 0.31-0.15+0.19(stat)±0.03(syst). The probability to obtain the measured value, or lower, if the true double ratio is unity, is calculated to be less than 1%. © 2011 American Physical Society.Article Citation - WoS: 130Citation - Scopus: 108Measurement of the T-Channel Single Top Quark Production Cross Section in Pp Collisions at ?s=7tev(American Physical Society, 2011) Karapınar, Güler; Demir, Durmuş AliElectroweak production of the top quark is measured for the first time in pp collisions at √s=7TeV, using a data set collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36pb-1. With an event selection optimized for t-channel production, two complementary analyses are performed. The first one exploits the special angular properties of the signal, together with background estimates from the data. The second approach uses a multivariate analysis technique to probe the compatibility with signal topology expected from electroweak top-quark production. The combined measurement of the cross section is 83.6±29.8(stat+syst)±3.3(lumi) pb, consistent with the standard model expectation. © 2011 CERN.Article Citation - WoS: 242Citation - Scopus: 228Measurements of Inclusive W and Z Cross Sections in Pp Collisions at ?s = 7 Tev the Cms Collaboration(Springer Verlag, 2011) Karapınar, Güler; Demir, Durmuş AliMeasurements of inclusive W and Z boson production cross sections in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV are presented, based on 2.9 pb-1 of data recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC. The measurements, performed in the electron and muon decay channels, are combined to give σ(pp → WX) × B(W → l?) = 9.95 ± 0.07 (stat.) ± 0.28 (syst.) ± 1.09 (lumi.) nb and σ(pp → ZX) × B(Z → l +l-) = 0.931 ± 0.026 (stat.) ± 0.023 (syst.) ± 0.102 (lumi.) nb, where l stands for either e or μ. Theoretical predictions, calculated at the next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD using recent parton distribution functions, are in agreement with the measured cross sections. Ratios of cross sections, which incur an experimental systematic uncertainty of less than 4%, are also reported.Article Citation - WoS: 51Citation - Scopus: 58Search for New Physics With a Monojet and Missing Transverse Energy in Pp Collisions at ?s=7tev(American Physical Society, 2011) Karapınar, Güler; Demir, Durmuş AliA study of events with missing transverse energy and an energetic jet is performed using pp collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The data were collected by the CMS detector at the LHC, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 36pb-1. An excess of these events over standard model contributions is a signature of new physics such as large extra dimensions and unparticles. The number of observed events is in good agreement with the prediction of the standard model, and significant extension of the current limits on parameters of new physics benchmark models is achieved. © 2011 CERN.Article Citation - WoS: 52Citation - Scopus: 47Measurement of the Drell-Yan Cross Section in Pp Collisions at ? S = 7 Tev(Springer Verlag, 2011) Karapınar, Güler; Demir, Durmuş AliThe Drell-Yan differential cross section is measured in pp collisions at √ s = 7TeV, from a data sample collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb-1. The cross section measurement, normalized to the measured cross section in the Z region, is reported for both the dimuon and dielectron channels in the dilepton invariant mass range 15{600 GeV. The normalized cross section values are quoted both in the full phase space and within the detector acceptance. The effect of final state radiation is also identified. The results are found to agree with theoretical predictions.

No excess of events is observed above the expected standard model backgrounds, which are all estimated from the data. Exclusion limits are presented for the constrained minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model. Cross section limits are also presented using simplified models with new particles decaying to an undetected particle and one or two jets.Article Citation - WoS: 55Citation - Scopus: 69Measurement of the Lepton Charge Asymmetry in Inclusive W Production in Pp Collisions at ?s = 7 Tev(Springer Verlag, 2011) Karapınar, Güler; Demir, Durmuş AliA measurement of the lepton charge asymmetry in inclusive pp → WX production at √s = 7TeV 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.

The production of charged particles with pseudorapidity |η|<2 and transverse momentum pT >0:5 GeV/c is studied in the azimuthal region transverse to that of the leading set of charged particles forming a track-jet. A significant growth of the average multiplicity and scalar-pT sum of the particles in the transverse region is observed with increasing pT of the leading trackjet, followed by a much slower rise above a few GeV/c. For track-jet pT larger than a few GeV/c, the activity in the transverse region is approximately doubled with a centreof- mass energy increase from 0:9 to 7TeV. Predictions of several QCD-inspired models as implemented in pythia are compared to the data.Article Citation - WoS: 55Citation - Scopus: 70Search for a Vectorlike Quark With Charge 2/3 in T+z Events From Pp Collisions at ?s=7tev(American Physical Society, 2011) Karapınar, Güler; Demir, Durmuş AliA search for pair-produced heavy vectorlike charge-2/3 quarks, T, in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, is performed with the CMS detector at the LHC. Events consistent with the flavor-changing-neutral-current decay of a T quark to a top quark and a Z boson are selected by requiring two leptons from the Z-boson decay, as well as an additional isolated charged lepton. In a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.14fb -1, the number of observed events is found to be consistent with the standard model background prediction. Assuming a branching fraction of 100% for the decay T→tZ, a T quark with a mass less than 475GeV/c 2 is excluded at the 95% confidence level. © 2011 CERN.
