The search is performed with data collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at √s = 8TeV. The number of observed events is found to be in agreement with the standard model predictions. The 95% confidence level upper limit on the product of the cross section and branching fraction is obtained as a function of the Θ0 mass. The 95% confidence level lower bounds on the Θ0 mass are found to be 623 and 426 GeV, for two different octo-triplet theoretical scenarios. These are the first direct experimental bounds on particles predicted by the octo-triplet model. © 2015, The Author(s).Article Citation - WoS: 157Citation - Scopus: 102Search for Massive Resonances Decaying Into Pairs of Boosted Bosons in Semi-Leptonic Final States at Root S = 8 Tev(Springer Verlag, 2014) CMS Collaboration; Karapınar, GülerA search for new resonances decaying to WW, ZZ, or WZ is presented. Final states are considered in which one of the vector bosons decays leptonically and the other hadronically. Results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1recorded in proton-proton collisions at (Formula presented.) = 8 TeV with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. Techniques aiming at identifying jet substructures are used to analyze signal events in which the hadronization products from the decay of highly boosted W or Z bosons are contained within a single reconstructed jet. Upper limits on the production of generic WW, ZZ, or WZ resonances are set as a function of the resonance mass and width. We increase the sensitivity of the analysis by statistically combining the results of this search with a complementary study of the all-hadronic final state. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are set on the bulk graviton production cross section in the range from 700 to 10 fb for resonance masses between 600 and 2500 GeV, respectively. These limits on the bulk graviton model are the most stringent to date in the diboson final state.Article Citation - WoS: 170Citation - Scopus: 108Search for Massive Resonances in Dijet Systems Containing Jets Tagged as W or Z Boson Decays in Pp Collisions at (root S) = 8 Tev(Springer Verlag, 2014) CMS Collaboration; Karapınar, GülerA search is reported for massive resonances decaying into a quark and a vector boson (W or Z), or two vector bosons (WW, WZ, or ZZ). The analysis is performed on an inclusive sample of multijet events corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1, collected in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. The search uses novel jet-substructure identification techniques that provide sensitivity to the presence of highly boosted vector bosons decaying into a pair of quarks. Exclusion limits are set at a confidence level of 95% on the production of: (i) excited quark resonances q*decaying to qW and qZ for masses less than 3.2 TeV and 2.9 TeV, respectively, (ii) a Randall-Sundrum graviton GRS decaying into WW for masses below 1.2 TeV, and (iii) a heavy partner of the W boson W′ decaying into WZ for masses less than 1.7 TeV. For the first time mass limits are set on W′ → WZ and GRS → WW in the all-jets final state. The mass limits on q* → qW, q* → qZ, W′ → WZ, GRS → WW are the most stringent to date. A model with a “bulk” graviton Gbulk that decays into WW or ZZ bosons is also studied.Article Citation - WoS: 210Citation - Scopus: 198Measurement of Higgs Boson Production and Properties in the Ww Decay Channel With Leptonic Final States(Springer Verlag, 2014) CMS Collaboration; Karapınar, GülerA search for the standard model Higgs boson decaying to a W-boson pair at the LHC is reported. The event sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb-1 and 19.4 fb-1 collected with the CMS detector in pp collisions at √ s = 7 and 8 TeV, respectively. The Higgs boson candidates are selected in events with two or three charged leptons. An excess of events above background is observed, consistent with the expectation from the standard model Higgs boson with a mass of around 125 GeV. The probability to observe an excess equal or larger than the one seen, under the background-only hypothesis, corresponds to a significance of 4.3 standard deviations for m H = 125.6 GeV. The observed signal cross section times the branching fraction to WW for m H = 125.6 GeV is 0.72-0.18 +0.20 times the standard model expectation. The spin-parity J P = 0+ hypothesis is favored against a narrow resonance with J P = 2+ or J P = 0- that decays to a W-boson pair. This result provides strong evidence for a Higgs-like boson decaying to a W-boson pair.

The stops must be light enough to enable Higgs naturalness yet heavy enough to induce a 125 GeV Higgs boson mass. These two constraints imply a large mass splitting. By an elaborate scan of the parameter space, we show that the stop-on-top scenario requires at least ΔCMSSM≃O(104) fine-tuning in the constrained minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (CMSSM). By relaxing the CMSSM parameter space with nonuniversal Higgs masses, we find that ΔNUHM1≃O(104). The CMSSM with a gravitino lightest supersymmetric particle works slightly better than the nonuniversal Higgs mass model. Compared to all these, the CMSSM with μ<0 and nonuniversal gauginos yields a much smaller fine-tuning Δμ,g≃O(100). Our results show that the gaugino sector can pave the road toward a more natural stop-on-top scenario.Article Citation - WoS: 197Citation - Scopus: 175Searches for Long-Lived Charged Particles in Pp Collisions at ?s =7 and 8 Tev(Springer Verlag, 2013) CMS Collaboration; Karapınar, GülerAbstract: Results of searches for heavy stable charged particles produced in pp collisions at □ = 7 and 8 TeV are presented corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb-1 and 18.8 fb-1, respectively. Data collected with the CMS detector are used to study the momentum, energy deposition, and time-of-flight of signal candidates. Leptons with an electric charge between e/3 and 8e, as well as bound states that can undergo charge exchange with the detector material, are studied. Analysis results are presented for various combinations of signatures in the inner tracker only, inner tracker and muon detector, and muon detector only. Detector signatures utilized are long time-of-flight to the outer muon system and anomalously high (or low) energy deposition in the inner tracker. The data are consistent with the expected background, and upper limits are set on the production cross section of long-lived gluinos, scalar top quarks, and scalar τ leptons, as well as pair produced long-lived leptons. Corresponding lower mass limits, ranging up to 1322 GeV/c 2 for gluinos, are the most stringent to date.

An example of such a signature is the decay of the lightest neutralino with nonzero lifetime into a gravitino and a photon in gauge-mediated supersymmetry, with the neutralino as the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle and the gravitino as the lightest. The search uses events containing photons, missing transverse energy, and jets. The impact parameter of the photon relative to the beam-beam collision point can be reconstructed using converted photons. The method is sensitive to lifetimes of the order of 0.1 to 1 ns. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2.23 fb-1 in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV, recorded in the first part of 2011 by the CMS experiment at the LHC. Cross-section limits are presented on pair production for such particles, each of which decays into a photon and invisible particles. The observed 95% confidence level limits vary between 0.11 and 0.21 pb, depending on the neutral particle lifetime.[Figure not available: see fulltext.] © 2012 CERN for the benefit of the CMS collaboration.Conference Object Introduction To Higgs Sector: Theory and Phenomenology(Springer Verlag, 2008) Demir, Durmuş AliThis review is based on lectures delivered at International Summer School on High Energy Physics, in Akyaka, Mugla, Turkey, September 2006. The goal of the review is to introduce junior graduate students, having a some knowledge of field theory, to the problem of mass generation and its physical consequences. The review starts with the statements and a toy model of mass generation in Sect. 2. In Sect. 3 a model of weak interactions is constructed and its predictions are compared with experimental results obtained so far. Given in Sect. 4 is search strategies for Higgs boson, the only remnant of the mechanism that gives mass to matter, by referring to model predictions and experimental facilities. Finally, in Sect. 5, given are a summary of results plus reasons for and expectations from models which rehabilitate the minimal model constructed in Sect. 3.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 18Squark Pair Production in the Mssm With Explicit Cp Violation(American Physical Society, 2007) Alan, Ahmet T.; Cankoçak, Kerem; Demir, Durmuş AliWe analyze effects of the CP-odd soft phases in the MSSM on the pair productions of colored superpartners in pp collisions at the LHC energies. We find that, among all pair-production processes, those of the scalar quarks in the first and second generations are particularly sensitive to the CP-odd phases, more precisely, to the phases of the gluinos and neutralinos. We compute pair-production cross sections, classify various production modes according to their dependencies on the gluino and neutralino phases, perform a detailed numerical analysis to determine individual as well as total cross sections, and give a detailed discussion of 2. electric dipole moment (EDM) bounds. We find that pair productions of first and second generation squarks serve as a viable probe of the CP violation sources in the gaugino sector of the theory even if experiments cannot determine chirality, flavor and electric charge of the squarks produced.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Reconsidering extra time-like dimensions(Springer Verlag, 2006) Erdem, Recai; Ün, Cem SalihIn this study we reconsider the phenomenological problems related to tachyonic modes in the context of extra time-like dimensions. First we reconsider a lower bound on the size of extra time-like dimensions and improve on the conclusion in the literature. Next we discuss the issues of spontaneous decay of stable fermions through tachyonic decays and disappearance of fermions due to tachyonic contributions to their self-energies. We find that the tachyonic modes due to extra time-like dimensions are less problematic than the tachyonic modes in the usual 4-dimensional setting because the most troublesome Feynman diagrams are forbidden once the conservation of momentum in the extra time-like dimensions is imposed.
