Performance of the gas gain monitoring system of the CMS RPC muon detector
L. Benussi, S. Bianco, L. Passamonti +82
The RPC muon detector of the CMS experiment at the LHC (CERN, Geneva, Switzerland) is equipped with a Gas Gain Monitoring (GGM) system. A report on the stability of the system duri…
Performance of a Large-Area GEM Detector Prototype for the Upgrade of the CMS Muon Endcap System
D. Abbaneo, M. Abbas, M. Abbrescia +134
Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) technology is being considered for the forward muon upgrade of the CMS experiment in Phase 2 of the CERN LHC. Its first implementation is planned for…
Pentaquark search at HERMES
The HERMES Collaboration, N. Akopov, Z. Akopov +103
The earlier search at HERMES for narrow baryon states excited in quasi-real photoproduction, decaying through the channel , has been extended with improv…
Testing Hadronic Interaction Models using a Highly Granular Silicon-Tungsten Calorimeter
The CALICE Collaboration, B. Bilki, J. Repond +148
A detailed study of hadronic interactions is presented using data recorded with the highly granular CALICE silicon-tungsten electromagnetic calorimeter. Approximately 350,000 selec…
Measurement of the cross section ratio sigma(t t-bar b b-bar) / sigma(t t-bar jj) in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV
CMS Collaboration
The first measurement of the cross section ratio sigma(t t-bar b b-bar) / sigma(t t-bar jj) is presented using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 inver…
Study of Z production in PbPb and pp collisions at sqrt(s[NN]) = 2.76 TeV in the dimuon and dielectron decay channels
CMS Collaboration
The production of Z bosons is studied in the dimuon and dielectron decay channels in PbPb and pp collisions at sqrt(s[NN]) = 2.76 TeV, using data collected by the CMS experiment at…
On tidal capture of primordial black holes by neutron stars
Guillaume Defillon, Etienne Granet, Petr Tinyakov +1
The fraction of primordial black holes (PBHs) of masses g in the total amount of dark matter may be constrained by considering their capture by neutron stars (N…
Spin density matrix elements in exclusive electroproduction on H and H targets at 27.5 GeV beam energy
The HERMES Collaboration, A. Airapetian, N. Akopov +97
Exclusive electroproduction of mesons on unpolarized hydrogen and deuterium targets is studied in the kinematic region of Q>1.0 GeV, 3.0 GeV < W < 6.3 GeV, and -t'< 0.2…
CMS RPC muon detector performance with 2010-2012 LHC data
G. Pugliese
The muon spectrometer of the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is equipped with a redundant system made of Resistive Plate Chambers and Drif…
Radiation background with the CMS RPCs at the LHC
Silvia Costantini
The Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) are employed in the CMS experiment at the LHC as dedicated trigger system both in the barrel and in the endcap. This note presents results of th…
Transverse polarization of hyperons from quasireal photoproduction on nuclei
The HERMES Collaboration, A. Airapetian, N. Akopov +134
The transverse polarization of hyperons was measured in inclusive quasireal photoproduction for various target nuclei ranging from hydrogen to xenon. The data were obtained by…
Bremsstrahlung and Gamma Ray Lines in 3 Scenarios of Dark Matter Annihilation
Federica Giacchino, Laura Lopez-Honorez, Michel H. G. Tytgat
Gamma ray spectral features are of interest for indirect searches of dark matter (DM). Following Barger et al, we consider 3 simple scenarios of DM that annihilates into Standard M…
The Time Structure of Hadronic Showers in highly granular Calorimeters with Tungsten and Steel Absorbers
C. Adloff, J. -J. Blaising, M. Chefdeville +210
The intrinsic time structure of hadronic showers influences the timing capability and the required integration time of hadronic calorimeters in particle physics experiments, and de…
Invisible Z' and dark matter: LHC vs LUX constraints
Giorgio Arcadi, Yann Mambrini, Michel H. G. Tytgat +1
We consider a simple, yet generic scenario in which a new heavy gauge boson couples both to SM fermions and to dark matter. In this framework we confront the best LHC limits o…
