Abstract A description is presented of the algorithms used to reconstruct energy deposited in the CMS hadron calorimeter during Run 2 (2015–2018) of the LHC. During Run 2, the characteristic bunch-crossing spacing for proton-proton collisions was 25 ns, which resulted in overlapping signals from adjacent crossings. The energy corresponding to a particular bunch crossing of interest is estimated using the known pulse shapes of energy depositions in the calorimeter, which are measured as functions of both energy and time. A variety of algorithms were developed to mitigate the effects of adjacent bunch crossings on local energy reconstruction in the hadron calorimeter in Run 2, and their performance is compared.

A bstract Measurements of the production of electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays in pp collisions at
= 13 TeV at midrapidity with the ALICE detector are presented down to a transverse momentum ($$ \sqrt{s} $$ p T) of 0.2 GeV/c and up top T= 35 GeV/c , which is the largest momentum range probed for inclusive electron measurements in ALICE. In p-Pb collisions, the production cross section and the nuclear modification factor of electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays are measured in thep Trange 0. 5< p T< 26 GeV/c at = 8$$ \sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}} $$ . 16 TeV. The nuclear modification factor is found to be consistent with unity within the statistical and systematic uncertainties. In both collision systems, first measurements of the yields of electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays in different multiplicity intervals normalised to the multiplicity-integrated yield (self-normalised yield) at midrapidity are reported as a function of the self-normalised charged-particle multiplicity estimated at midrapidity. The self-normalised yields in pp and p-Pb collisions grow faster than linear with the self-normalised multiplicity. A strongp Tdependence is observed in pp collisions, where the yield of high-p Telectrons increases faster as a function of multiplicity than the one of low-p Telectrons. The measurement in p-Pb collisions shows nop Tdependence within uncertainties. The self-normalised yields in pp and p-Pb collisions are compared with measurements of other heavy-flavour, light-flavour, and strange particles, and with Monte Carlo simulations.Free, publicly-accessible full text available August 1, 2024 -
Abstract A search for decays to invisible particles of Higgs bosons produced in association with a top-antitop quark pair or a vector boson, which both decay to a fully hadronic final state, has been performed using proton-proton collision data collected at
by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138$${\sqrt{s}=13\,\text {Te}\hspace{-.08em}\text {V}}$$ . The 95% confidence level upper limit set on the branching fraction of the 125$$\,\text {fb}^{-1}$$ Higgs boson to invisible particles,$$\,\text {Ge}\hspace{-.08em}\text {V}$$ , is 0.54 (0.39 expected), assuming standard model production cross sections. The results of this analysis are combined with previous$${\mathcal {B}({\textrm{H}} \rightarrow \text {inv})}$$ searches carried out at$${\mathcal {B}({\textrm{H}} \rightarrow \text {inv})}$$ , 8, and 13$${\sqrt{s}=7}$$ in complementary production modes. The combined upper limit at 95% confidence level on$$\,\text {Te}\hspace{-.08em}\text {V}$$ is 0.15 (0.08 expected).$${\mathcal {B}({\textrm{H}} \rightarrow \text {inv})}$$ Free, publicly-accessible full text available October 1, 2024 -
