Article Citation - WoS: 39Measurement of the Relative Prompt Production Rate of Chi(c2) and Chi(c1) in Pp Collisions at ?s=7 Tev(Springer Verlag, 2012) Chatrchyan, S.; Karapınar, Güler; Khachatryan, V.; Sirunyan, A. M.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Karapınar, Güler; CMS Collaboration; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyAmeasurement is presented of the relative prompt production rate of chi(c2) and chi(c1) with 4.6 fb(-1) of data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV. The two states are measured via their radiative decays chi(c) -> J/psi + gamma, with the photon converting into an e(+)e(-) pair for J/psi rapidity \y(J/psi)\ < 1.0 and photon transverse momentum p(T)(gamma) > 0.5 GeV/c. The measurement is given for six intervals of p(T)(J/psi) between 7 and 25 GeV/c. The results are compared to theoretical predictions.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.; Karapınar, Güler; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Bergauer, T.; Dragicevic, M.; Janot, P.; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyProperties 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: 65Citation - Scopus: 69Search for New Physics in Same-Sign Dilepton Events in Proton–proton Collisions at √s = 13 Tev(Springer Nature, 2016) Khachatryan, V.; Karapınar, Güler; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Asilar, E.; Bergauer, T.; Scodellaro, L.; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyA search for new physics is performed using events with two isolated same-sign leptons, two or more jets, and missing transverse momentum. 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: 56Citation - Scopus: 60Search for Lepton Flavour Violating Decays of the Higgs Boson To Eτ and Eμ in Proton–proton Collisions at S=8 Tev(Elsevier B.V., 2016) Khachatryan, V.; Karapınar, Güler; Sirunyan, A.M.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Asilar, E.; Bergauer, T.; Trevisani, N.; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyA direct search for lepton flavour violating decays of the Higgs boson (H) in the H→eτ and H→eμ channels is described. The data sample used in the search was collected in proton–proton collisions at s=8 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1. No evidence is found for lepton flavour violating decays in either final state. Upper limits on the branching fractions, B(H→eτ)<0.69% and B(H→eμ)<0.035%, are set at the 95% confidence level. The constraint set on B(H→eτ) is an order of magnitude more stringent than the existing indirect limits. The limits are used to constrain the corresponding flavour violating Yukawa couplings, absent in the standard model. © 2016 The Author(s)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.; Karapınar, Güler; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Asilar, E.; Bergauer, T.; Albajar, C.; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyA 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.Article Citation - WoS: 42Citation - Scopus: 86Measurement of the Double-Differential Inclusive Jet Cross Section in Proton–proton Collisions at √s = 13 Tev(Springer Nature, 2016) Khachatryan, V.; Karapınar, Güler; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Asilar, E.; Bergauer, T.; Matorras, F.; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyA measurement of the double-differential inclusive jet cross section as a function of jet transverse momentum pT and absolute jet rapidity | y| is presented. The analysis is based on proton–proton collisions collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 13TeV. The data samples correspond to integrated luminosities of 71 and 44pb-1 for | y| < 3 and 3.2 < | y| < 4.7 , respectively. Jets are reconstructed with the anti-kt clustering algorithm for two jet sizes, R, of 0.7 and 0.4, in a phase space region covering jet pT up to 2TeV and jet rapidity up to | y| = 4.7. Predictions of perturbative quantum chromodynamics at next-to-leading order precision, complemented with electroweak and nonperturbative corrections, are used to compute the absolute scale and the shape of the inclusive jet cross section. The cross section difference in R, when going to a smaller jet size of 0.4, is best described by Monte Carlo event generators with next-to-leading order predictions matched to parton showering, hadronisation, and multiparton interactions. In the phase space accessible with the new data, this measurement provides a first indication that jet physics is as well understood at s=13TeV as at smaller centre-of-mass energies. © 2016, CERN for the benefit of the CMS collaboration.Article Citation - WoS: 26Citation - Scopus: 27Measurement of the Zγ→νν‾γ production cross section in pp collisions at s=8 TeV and limits on anomalous ZZγ and Zγγ trilinear gauge boson couplings(Elsevier B.V., 2016) Khachatryan, V.; Karapınar, Güler; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Asilar, E.; Bergauer, T.; Josa, M.I.; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyAn inclusive measurement of the Zγ→νν‾γ production cross section in pp collisions at s=8TeV is presented, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 fb−1 collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. This measurement is based on the observation of events with large missing energy and with a single photon with transverse momentum above 145GeV and absolute pseudorapidity in the range |η|<1.44. The measured Zγ→νν‾γ production cross section, 52.7±2.1 (stat)±6.4 (syst)±1.4 (lumi) fb, agrees well with the standard model prediction of 50.0−2.2 +2.4 fb. A study of the photon transverse momentum spectrum yields the most stringent limits to date on the anomalous ZZγ and Zγγ trilinear gauge boson couplings. © 2016 The Author(s)Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 10ϒ(ns) Polarizations Versus Particle Multiplicity in Pp Collisions at S=7 Tev(Elsevier B.V., 2016) Khachatryan, V.; Karapınar, Güler; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Asilar, E.; Bergauer, T.; Flix, J.; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe polarizations of the ϒ(1S), ϒ(2S), and ϒ(3S) mesons are measured as a function of the charged particle multiplicity in proton–proton collisions at s=7 TeV. The measurements are performed with a dimuon data sample collected in 2011 by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb−1. The results are extracted from the dimuon decay angular distributions, in two ranges of ϒ(nS) transverse momentum (10–15 and 15–35 GeV), and in the rapidity interval |y|>1.2. The results do not show significant changes from low- to high-multiplicity pp collisions, although large uncertainties preclude definite statements in the ϒ(2S) and ϒ(3S) cases. © 2016 The Author(s)Article Citation - WoS: 38Citation - Scopus: 38Search for Heavy Resonances Decaying To Two Higgs Bosons in Final States Containing Four B Quarks(Springer Nature, 2016) Khachatryan, V.; Karapınar, Güler; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Asilar, E.; Bergauer, T.; Garcia-Ferrero, J.; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyA search is presented for narrow heavy resonances X decaying into pairs of Higgs bosons (H) in proton-proton collisions collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC at s=8TeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.7fb-1. The search considers H H resonances with masses between 1 and 3TeV, having final states of two b quark pairs. Each Higgs boson is produced with large momentum, and the hadronization products of the pair of b quarks can usually be reconstructed as single large jets. The background from multijet and t t ¯ events is significantly reduced by applying requirements related to the flavor of the jet, its mass, and its substructure. The signal would be identified as a peak on top of the dijet invariant mass spectrum of the remaining background events. No evidence is observed for such a signal. Upper limits obtained at 95 % confidence level for the product of the production cross section and branching fraction σ(gg→X)B(X→HH→bb¯bb¯) range from 10 to 1.5 fb for the mass of X from 1.15 to 2.0TeV, significantly extending previous searches. For a warped extra dimension theory with a mass scale ΛR= 1 TeV, the data exclude radion scalar masses between 1.15 and 1.55TeV. © 2016, CERN for the benefit of the CMS collaboration.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 18Search for Direct Pair Production of Supersymmetric Top Quarks Decaying To All-Hadronic Final States in Pp Collisions at √s = 8 Tev(Springer Nature, 2016) Khachatryan, V.; Karapınar, Güler; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Asilar, E.; Bergauer, T.; Castiñeiras De Saa, J.R.; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyResults are reported from a search for the pair production of top squarks, the supersymmetric partners of top quarks, in final states with jets and missing transverse momentum. The data sample used in this search was collected by the CMS detector and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 18.9fb-1 of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8TeV produced by the LHC. The search features novel background suppression and prediction methods, including a dedicated top quark pair reconstruction algorithm. The data are found to be in agreement with the predicted backgrounds. Exclusion limits are set in simplified supersymmetry models with the top squark decaying to jets and an undetected neutralino, either through a top quark or through a bottom quark and chargino. Models with the top squark decaying via a top quark are excluded for top squark masses up to 755GeV in the case of neutralino masses below 200GeV. For decays via a chargino, top squark masses up to 620GeV are excluded, depending on the masses of the chargino and neutralino. © 2016, CERN for the benefit of the CMS collaboration.
