New CMS results at Moriond (Electroweak) 2013

New results on the Higgs-like boson, Supersymmetry, and searches for exotic physics

HIG-13-002 Event 1: Event recorded with the CMS detector in 2012 at a proton-proton centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The event shows characteristics expected from the decay of the SM Higgs boson to a pair of Z bosons, one of which subsequently decays to a pair of electrons (green lines and green towers) and the other Z decays to a pair of muons (red lines). The event could also be due to known Standard Model background processes.

The search for microscopic black holes, as of March 2012

2012-05-07, by Alexey Ferapontov

The search for microscopic black holes at the LHC is motivated by the hierarchy problem — the huge observed difference between the strengths of the electroweak and gravitational forces.

An example of a CMS event with large total transverse energy (S<sub>T</sub>=2.6 TeV) and high jet multiplicity (9 jets, denoted by light purple cones and lines).

Search for Dark Matter and Large Extra Dimensions in pp Collisions Yielding a Photon and Missing Transverse Energy

2012-04-03, by Achintya Rao

Results are presented from a search for new physics in which the final state contains a photon (γ) and missing transverse energy (MET).

The photon transverse momentum (p<sub>T</sub> distribution for the candidate sample, compared with estimated contributions from SM backgrounds and a prediction from Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, and Dvali model for extra dimensions

Search for microscopic black hole signatures at the Large Hadron Collider

2010-12-15, by Achintya Rao

The CMS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has completed a search for microscopic black holes produced in high-energy proton-proton collisions.
