    Measurements of the charge-dependent two-particle angular correlation function in proton-lead (pPb) collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of$$ \sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}} $$sNN= 8.16 TeV and lead-lead (PbPb) collisions at$$ \sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}} $$sNN= 5.02 TeV are reported. The pPb and PbPb data sets correspond to integrated luminosities of 186 nb1and 0.607 nb1, respectively, and were collected using the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The charge-dependent correlations are characterized by balance functions of same- and opposite-sign particle pairs. The balance functions, which contain information about the creation time of charged particle pairs and the development of collectivity, are studied as functions of relative pseudorapidity (∆η) and relative azimuthal angle (∆ϕ), for various multiplicity and transverse momentum (pT) intervals. A multiplicity dependence of the balance function is observed in ∆ηand ∆ϕfor both systems. The width of the balance functions decreases towards high-multiplicity collisions in the momentum region<2 GeV, for pPb and PbPb results. Integrals of the balance functions are presented in both systems, and a mild dependence of the charge-balancing fractions on multiplicity is observed. No multiplicity dependence is observed at higher transverse momentum. The data are compared withhydjet,hijing, andamptgenerator predictions, none of which capture completely the multiplicity dependence seen in the data. The comparison of results with different center-of-mass energies suggests that the balance functions become narrower at higher energies, which is consistent with the idea of delayed hadronization and the effect of radial flow.

  2. The production ofϒ(2S)andϒ(3S)mesons in lead-lead (Pb-Pb) and proton-proton (pp) collisions is studied in their dimuon decay channel using the CMS detector at the LHC. Theϒ(3S)meson is observed for the first time in Pb-Pb collisions, with a significance above 5 standard deviations. The ratios of yields measured in Pb-Pb andppcollisions are reported for both theϒ(2S)andϒ(3S)mesons, as functions of transverse momentum and Pb-Pb collision centrality. These ratios, when appropriately scaled, are significantly less than unity, indicating a suppression ofϒyields in Pb-Pb collisions. This suppression increases from peripheral to central Pb-Pb collisions. Furthermore, the suppression is stronger forϒ(3S)mesons compared toϒ(2S)mesons, extending the pattern of sequential suppression of quarkonium states in nuclear collisions previously seen for theJ/ψ,ψ(2S),ϒ(1S), andϒ(2S)mesons.

    A search for the central exclusive production of top quark-antiquark pairs ($$ \textrm{t}\overline{\textrm{t}} $$tt¯) is performed for the first time using proton-tagged events in proton-proton collisions at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 29.4 fb1. The$$ \textrm{t}\overline{\textrm{t}} $$tt¯decay products are reconstructed using the central CMS detector, while forward protons are measured in the CMS-TOTEM precision proton spectrometer. An observed (expected) upper bound on the production cross section of 0.59 (1.14) pb is set at 95% confidence level, for collisions of protons with fractional momentum losses between 2 and 20%.

  3. Differential cross sections are measured for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with vector bosons (W,Z) and decaying to a pair ofbquarks. Measurements are performed within the framework of the simplified template cross sections. The analysis relies on the leptonic decays of theWandZbosons, resulting in final states with 0, 1, or 2 electrons or muons. The Higgs boson candidates are either reconstructed from pairs of resolvedb-tagged jets, or from single large-radius jets containing the particles arising from twobquarks. Proton-proton collision data ats=13TeV, collected by the CMS experiment in 2016–2018 and corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of138fb1, are analyzed. The inclusive signal strength, defined as the product of the observed production cross section and branching fraction relative to the standard model expectation, combining all analysis categories, is found to beμ=1.150.20+0.22. This corresponds to an observed (expected) significance of 6.3 (5.6) standard deviations.

    A search for a new boson X is presented using CERN LHC proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS experiment at$$ \sqrt{s} $$s= 13 TeV in 2016–2018, and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb1. The resonance X decays into either a pair of Higgs bosons HH of mass 125 GeV or an H and a new spin-0 boson Y. One H subsequently decays to a pair of photons, and the second H or Y, to a pair of bottom quarks. The explored mass ranges of X are 260–1000 GeV and 300–1000 GeV, for decays to HH and to HY, respectively, with the Y mass range being 90–800 GeV. For a spin-0 X hypothesis, the 95% confidence level upper limit on the product of its production cross section and decay branching fraction is observed to be within 0.90–0.04 fb, depending on the masses of X and Y. The largest deviation from the background-only hypothesis with a local (global) significance of 3.8 (below 2.8) standard deviations is observed for X and Y masses of 650 and 90 GeV, respectively. The limits are interpreted using several models of new physics.

    The hydrodynamic flow-like behavior of charged hadrons in high-energy lead-lead collisions is studied through multiparticle correlations. The elliptic anisotropy values based on different orders of multiparticle cumulants,v2{2k}, are measured up to the tenth order (k= 5) as functions of the collision centrality at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of$$ \sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}} $$sNN= 5.02 TeV. The data were recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 0.607 nb1. A hierarchy is observed between the coefficients, withv2{2}> v2{4} ≳v2{6} ≳v2{8} ≳v2{10}. Based on these results, centrality-dependent moments for the fluctuation-driven event-by-eventv2distribution are determined, including the skewness, kurtosis and, for the first time, superskewness. Assuming a hydrodynamic expansion of the produced medium, these moments directly probe the initial-state geometry in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions.

    The production of prompt$$ {\Lambda}_{\textrm{c}}^{+} $$Λc+baryons is measured via the exclusive decay channel$$ {\Lambda}_{\textrm{c}}^{+}\to p{\textrm{K}}^{-}{\pi}^{+} $$Λc+pKπ+at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02 TeV, using proton-proton (pp) and lead-lead (PbPb) collision data collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC. The pp and PbPb data were obtained in 2017 and 2018 with integrated luminosities of 252 and 0.607 nb1, respectively. The measurements are performed within the$$ {\Lambda}_{\textrm{c}}^{+} $$Λc+rapidity interval |y|<1 with transverse momentum (pT) ranges of 3–30 and 6–40 GeV/cfor pp and PbPb collisions, respectively. Compared to the yields in pp collisions scaled by the expected number of nucleon-nucleon interactions, the observed yields of$$ {\Lambda}_{\textrm{c}}^{+} $$Λc+withpT>10 GeV/care strongly suppressed in PbPb collisions. The level of suppression depends significantly on the collision centrality. The$$ {\Lambda}_{\textrm{c}}^{+} $$Λc+/D0production ratio is similar in PbPb and pp collisions atpT>10 GeV/c, suggesting that the coalescence process does not play a dominant role in prompt$$ {\Lambda}_{\textrm{c}}^{+} $$Λc+baryon production at higherpT.
