Article Citation - Scopus: 5Efficiency Evaluation of Single and Double Tuned Mass Dampers on Building Response Reduction by Considering Soil-Structure Interaction(Springer Nature, 2024) Roozbahan,M.; Turan,G.Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) and multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMDs) are among the simplest, most reliable, and most frequently employed structural control devices. The efficiency of TMDs and MTMDs depends on their parameters, including the mass, frequency ratio, and damping ratio. Several analytical and metaheuristic methods have been proposed for the optimal design of tuned mass dampers. The aims of this study are: (1) to investigate the differences in efficiency between a number of TMD design methods and (2) to evaluate the differences in efficiency between a single TMD and double TMD (DTMD) in reducing the seismic response of structures by considering soil-structure interactions (SSI). In the first numerical study, the effectiveness of TMDs optimized using seven analytical methods, and TMD and DTMD optimized using a metaheuristics algorithm called Mouth Brooding Fish (MBF) in reducing the response of a fifteen-story structure under 22 far-field and 14 near-field earthquakes is compared. In the second example, in addition to the seven analytical-based designed TMDs, and MBF-based TMDs and DTMDs, the Jaya algorithm based, and plasma generation optimization-based designed TMDs are used, and the same procedure is applied to a forty-story structure. The results show that there is no important difference among these methods, which may indicate that the uppermost optimization level for a regular TMD has been reached. Furthermore, the results indicate that the TMD and DTMD are almost equally effective at reducing the seismic response of structures when the SSI effect is taken into consideration. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.Book Part A Critical Review of Deployable Truss Masts and Proposal of a New Mast: Hidam(Springer Nature, 2023) Cebeci, Y.; Demirel, M.; Kiper, G.This paper investigates the factors which affect the packing ratio of deployable articulated truss masts and investigates the necessary design criteria for new designs with enhanced packing ratio. First, the available deployable articulated truss masts are examined, and the design parameters of these structures are worked out. Then a novel design called HiDAM is proposed with superior packing ratio compared to similar ones in the literature. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 12Measurements of the Associated Production of a W Boson and a Charm Quark in Proton–Proton Collisions at √s=8tev(Springer Nature, 2022) Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Bergauer, T.; Dragicevic, M.; Erö, J.; Valle, A.E.D.; Ershov, A.Measurements of the associated production of a W boson and a charm (c) quark in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8TeV are reported. The analysis uses a data sample corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 19.7fb-1 collected by the CMS detector at the LHC. The W bosons are identified through their leptonic decays to an electron or a muon, and a neutrino. Charm quark jets are selected using distinctive signatures of charm hadron decays. The product of the cross section and branching fraction σ(pp → W + c + X) B(W → ℓν) , where ℓ= e or μ , and the cross section ratio σ(pp → W ++ c ¯ + X) / σ(pp → W -+ c + X) are measured in a fiducial volume and differentially as functions of the pseudorapidity and of the transverse momentum of the lepton from the W boson decay. The results are compared with theoretical predictions. The impact of these measurements on the determination of the strange quark distribution is assessed. © 2022, CERN for the benefit of the CMS collaboration.Article Citation - WoS: 518Citation - Scopus: 550Precise Determination of the Mass of the Higgs Boson and Tests of Compatibility of Its Couplings With the Standard Model Predictions Using Proton Collisions at 7 and 8 Tev(Springer Nature, 2015) Khachatryan, V.; Sirunyan, A.M.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Bergauer, T.; Dragicevic, M.; Janot, P.Properties of the Higgs boson with mass near 125 GeV are measured in proton-proton collisions with the CMS experiment at the LHC. Comprehensive sets of production and decay measurements are combined. The decay channels include γγ, ZZ, WW, ττ, bb, and μμ pairs. The data samples were collected in 2011 and 2012 and correspond to integrated luminosities of up to 5.1fb-1at 7TeV and up to 19.7fb-1at 8 TeV. From the high-resolution γγ and ZZ channels, the mass of the Higgs boson is determined to be (Formula presented) GeV. For this mass value, the event yields obtained in the different analyses tagging specific decay channels and production mechanisms are consistent with those expected for the standard model Higgs boson. The combined best-fit signal relative to the standard model expectation is (Formula presented) at the measured mass. The couplings of the Higgs boson are probed for deviations in magnitude from the standard model predictions in multiple ways, including searches for invisible and undetected decays. No significant deviations are found. © 2015, CERN for the benefit of the CMS collaboration.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 19Measurement of Electroweak Production of a W Boson in Association With Two Jets in Proton–proton Collisions at √s=13te(Springer Nature, 2020) Sirunyan, A.M.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Ambrogi, F.; Asilar, E.; Bergauer, T.; Gonzalez Lopez, O.A measurement is presented of electroweak (EW) production of a W boson in association with two jets in proton–proton collisions at s=13Te. The data sample was recorded by the CMS Collaboration at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9fb-1. The measurement is performed for the ℓνjj final state (with ℓν indicating a lepton–neutrino pair, and j representing the quarks produced in the hard interaction) in a kinematic region defined by invariant mass mjj>120Ge and transverse momenta pTj>25Ge. The cross section of the process is measured in the electron and muon channels yielding σEW(Wjj)=6.23±0.12(stat)±0.61(syst)pb per channel, in agreement with leading-order standard model predictions. The additional hadronic activity of events in a signal-enriched region is studied, and the measurements are compared with predictions. The final state is also used to perform a search for anomalous trilinear gauge couplings. Limits on anomalous trilinear gauge couplings associated with dimension-six operators are given in the framework of an effective field theory. The corresponding 95% confidence level intervals are -2.3<cWWW/Λ2<2.5Te-2, -8.8<cW/Λ2<16Te-2, and -45<cB/Λ2<46Te-2. These results are combined with the CMS EW Zjj analysis, yielding the constraint on the cW W W coupling: -1.8<cWWW/Λ2<2.0Te-2. © 2020, CERN for the benefit of the CMS collaboration.Article Citation - WoS: 77Citation - Scopus: 90Measurement of T T ¯ Normalised Multi-Differential Cross Sections in Pp Collisions at √s=13tev , and Simultaneous Determination of the Strong Coupling Strength, Top Quark Pole Mass, and Parton Distribution Functions(Springer Nature, 2020) Sirunyan, A.M.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Ambrogi, F.; Asilar, E.; Bergauer, T.; Goy Lopez, S.Normalised multi-differential cross sections for top quark pair (t t ¯) production are measured in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13TeV using events containing two oppositely charged leptons. The analysed data were recorded with the CMS detector in 2016 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9fb-1. The double-differential t t ¯ cross section is measured as a function of the kinematic properties of the top quark and of the t t ¯ system at parton level in the full phase space. A triple-differential measurement is performed as a function of the invariant mass and rapidity of the t t ¯ system and the multiplicity of additional jets at particle level. The data are compared to predictions of Monte Carlo event generators that complement next-to-leading-order (NLO) quantum chromodynamics (QCD) calculations with parton showers. Together with a fixed-order NLO QCD calculation, the triple-differential measurement is used to extract values of the strong coupling strength αS and the top quark pole mass (mtpole) using several sets of parton distribution functions (PDFs). The measurement of mtpole exploits the sensitivity of the t t ¯ invariant mass distribution to mtpole near the production threshold. Furthermore, a simultaneous fit of the PDFs, αS, and mtpole is performed at NLO, demonstrating that the new data have significant impact on the gluon PDF, and at the same time allow an accurate determination of αS and mtpole. The values αS(mZ)=0.1135-0.0017+0.0021 and mtpole=170.5±0.8GeV are extracted, which account for experimental and theoretical uncertainties, the latter being estimated from NLO scale variations. Possible effects from Coulomb and soft-gluon resummation near the t t ¯ production threshold are neglected in these parameter extractions. A rough estimate of these effects indicates an expected correction of mtpole of the order of +1GeV, which can be regarded as additional theoretical uncertainty in the current mtpole extraction. © 2020, CERN for the benefit of the CMS collaboration.Article Citation - WoS: 42Citation - Scopus: 46Search for Physics Beyond the Standard Model in Events With Jets and Two Same-Sign or at Least Three Charged Leptons in Proton-Proton Collisions at √s=13tev(Springer Nature, 2020) Sirunyan, A.M.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Ambrogi, F.; Bergauer, T.; Dragicevic, M.; Milenovic, P.A data sample of events from proton-proton collisions with at least two jets, and two isolated same-sign or three or more charged leptons, is studied in a search for signatures of new physics phenomena. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 137fb-1 at a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV, collected in 2016–2018 by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The search is performed using a total of 168 signal regions defined using several kinematic variables. The properties of the events are found to be consistent with the expectations from standard model processes. Exclusion limits at 95% confidence level are set on cross sections for the pair production of gluinos or squarks for various decay scenarios in the context of supersymmetric models conserving or violating R parity. The observed lower mass limits are as large as 2.1TeV for gluinos and 0.9TeV for top and bottom squarks. To facilitate reinterpretations, model-independent limits are provided in a set of simplified signal regions. © 2020, CERN for the benefit of the CMS collaboration.Erratum Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 7Erratum To: Measurements of the Z→4ℓ Branching Fraction, and Constraints on Anomalous Triple Gauge Couplings at S=13tev (the European Physical Journal C, (2018), 78, 2, (165), 10.1140/Epjc(Springer Nature, 2018) Sirunyan, A.M.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Ambrogi, F.; Asilar, E.; Bergauer, T.; Virto, A.L.Reference [6]: “Phys.

The results are based on a sample of proton–proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb1. Multiple search regions are defined by classifying events in terms of missing transverse momentum, the scalar sum of jet transverse momenta, the transverse mass associated with a W boson candidate, the number of jets, the number of b quark jets, and the transverse momenta of the leptons in the event. The analysis is sensitive to a wide variety of possible signals beyond the standard model. No excess above the standard model background expectation is observed. Constraints are set on various supersymmetric models, with gluinos and bottom squarks excluded for masses up to 1300 and 680GeV, respectively, at the 95 % confidence level. Upper limits on the cross sections for the production of two top quark-antiquark pairs (119fb) and two same-sign top quarks (1.7pb) are also obtained. Selection efficiencies and model independent limits are provided to allow further interpretations of the results. © 2016, CERN for the benefit of the CMS collaboration.Article Citation - WoS: 68Citation - Scopus: 73Measurement of the W +w - Cross Section in Pp Collisions at √s= 8 Tevand Limits on Anomalous Gauge Couplings(Springer Nature, 2016) Khachatryan, V.; Sirunyan, A.M.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Asilar, E.; Bergauer, T.; Albajar, C.A measurement of the W boson pair production cross section in proton-proton collisions at √s = 8 TeV is presented. The data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.4fb-1. The W +W - candidates are selected from events with two charged leptons, electrons or muons, and large missing transverse energy. The measured W +W - cross section is 60.1 ± 0.9 (stat) ± 3.2 (exp) ± 3.1 (theo) ± 1.6 (lumi) pb = 60.1±4.8 pb, consistent with the standard model prediction. The W +W - cross sections are also measured in two different fiducial phase space regions. The normalized differential cross section is measured as a function of kinematic variables of the final-state charged leptons and compared with several perturbative QCD predictions. Limits on anomalous gauge couplings associated with dimension-six operators are also given in the framework of an effective field theory. The corresponding 95 % confidence level intervals are -5.7<cWWW/Λ2<5.9TeV-2, -11.4<cW/Λ2<5.4TeV-2, -29.2<cB/Λ2<23.9TeV-2, in the HISZ basis. © 2016, CERN for the benefit of the CMS collaboration.
