Book Description
A search for the rare decays B(s) to dimuons and B0 to dimuons is performed in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV, with a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.14 inverse femtobarns, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. In both cases, the number of events observed after all selection requirements is consistent with expectations from background and standard-model signal predictions. The resulting upper limits on the branching fractions are B(B(s) to mu+̂ mu-̂)

Book Description
Here, a study of the decays B0s 2![mu]+[mu]- and B0 2![mu]+[mu]- has been performed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 25 fb-1 of 7 and 8 TeV proton-proton collisions collected with the ATLAS detector during the LHC Run 1. For the B0 dimuon decay, an upper limit on the branching fraction is set at B(B0 2![mu]+[mu]- )

Book Description
This open-access book addresses the following questions: how does the polarization of a particle, i.e., the angular momentum state in which it is produced, manifest itself in nature? What are the concepts and tools needed to perform rigorous measurements providing complete and unambiguous physical information? Polarization measurements are important because they reflect the nature and coupling properties of a particle and provide unique insights into the underlying fundamental interactions, playing a central role in the study and understanding of the mechanisms of particle production. Besides gradually reviewing many fundamental notions, the book presents several case studies relevant to physics analyses underway at the LHC, including the lepton-antilepton decays of vector states (Drell–Yan, Z and W bosons, quarkonia, etc.). The book also offers a detailed discussion of cascade decays, where the vector particle is a daughter of another particle, as well as a survey of typical angular distributions of particles of any integer or half-integer spin. With a visual approach to the presentation of the concepts and frequent use of pedagogical examples, taken from real measurements, gedankenexperiments, or detailed simulations, the book focuses on aspects of polarization measurements that are sometimes underestimated or left unexplored in experimental analyses, such as the importance of the choice of the reference frame, the existence of frame-independent relations, and the shapes of the physically allowed parameter domains. Several examples are provided of pitfalls introduced when the intrinsic multidimensionality of the problem is neglected in exchange for a simplified analysis. Targeting an audience of graduate students, post-docs, and other researchers involved in analyses of LHC data, this book helps to establish a solid bridge between high precision data, existing or soon to be collected, and accurate measurements, including high-sensitivity tests of the Standard Model.

Book Description
This thesis presents a measurement of the dijet invariant mass spectrum and search for new particles decaying to dijets at CMS in 7 TeV pp collisions using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.875 pb-1. The measured dijet mass distribution is compared to QCD prediction from PYTHIA . It is required the pseudorapidity separation of the two jets to satisfy.

Book Description
A new heavy gauge boson, W', decaying to a muon and a neutrino, is searched for in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass of 7 TeV. The data, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 36 inverse picobarns. No significant excess of events above the standard model expectation is found in the transverse mass distribution of the muon-neutrino system. Masses below 1.40 TeV are excluded at the 95% confidence level for a sequential standard-model-like W'. The W' mass lower limit increases to 1.58 TeV when the present analysis is combined with the CMS result for the electron channel.

Book Description
The authors have performed a search for B{sub s}° →??− and B° →?+?− decays in p{bar p} collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV using 2 fb−1 of integrated luminosity collected by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The observed number of B{sub s}° and B° candidates is consistent with background expectations. The resulting upper limits on the branching fractions are?(B{sub s}° →?+?−)

Book Description
A search for the rare decays of B0 [RIGHTWARDS ARROW] [MICRO SIGN]+ [MICRO SIGN][-] and B0 [RIGHTWARDS ARROW] [MICRO SIGN]+ [MICRO SIGN][-] is presented in p p collis d [SQUARE ROOT] sions at s=1.96 TeV corresponding to 10 fb[-]1 of integrated luminosity collected by the CDF II detector. The observed number of B0 candidates is consistent with d background-only expectations and yields an upper limit on the branching fraction B(B0 [RIGHTWARDS ARROW] [MICRO SIGN]+ [MICRO SIGN][-]) of 4.2 x 10[-]9 at 95% confidence level. An excess is observed d for the B0 signal region. The probability that background processes alone could s produce such an excess or larger is 0.94%. The probability that the combination of background and the expected standard model rate B0 [RIGHTWARDS ARROW] [MICRO SIGN]+ [MICRO SIGN][-] could produce s such an excess or larger is 6.8%. These data are used to determine a central value of B(B0 [RIGHTWARDS ARROW] [MICRO SIGN]+ [MICRO SIGN][-]) = (1.3+0.9) x 10[-]8 as well as a two sided limit at 90% C.L. s [-]0 7 of 2.2 x 10[-]9
