Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of quarks and gluons, whose interactions can be
described by a local SU (3) gauge symmetry with charges called “color quantum numbers” …

The discovery of the Higgs boson has led to new possible signatures for heavy resonance
searches at the LHC. Since then, search channels including at least one Higgs boson plus …

In July 2012, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
announced the observation of a Higgs boson at a mass of around 125 gigaelectronvolts …

A bstract Precision measurements of electron reconstruction, identification, and isolation
efficiencies and photon identification efficiencies are presented. They use the full Run 2 data …

This paper describes the COMBINE software package used for statistical analyses by the
CMS Collaboration. The package, originally designed to perform searches for a Higgs …

The performance is presented of the reconstruction and identification algorithms for
electrons and photons with the CMS experiment at the LHC. The reported results are based …

At the start of Run 2 in 2015, the LHC delivered proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass
energy of 13 TeV. During Run 2 (years 2015-2018) the LHC eventually reached a luminosity …

A bstract Three searches are presented for signatures of physics beyond the standard model
(SM) in ττ final states in proton-proton collisions at the LHC, using a data sample collected …

Jet flavour classification is of paramount importance for a broad range of applications in
modern-day high-energy-physics experiments, particularly at the LHC. In this paper we …

A bstract Evidence for Higgs boson decay to a pair of muons is presented. This result
combines searches in four exclusive categories targeting the production of the Higgs boson …
