Results are reported from a search for physics beyond the standard model in proton-proton collision events with a charged lepton (electron or muon), two jets identified as originating from a bottom quark decay, and significant imbalance in the transverse momentum. The search was performed using a data sample corresponding to 35.9 fb−1 , collected

A measurement of the differential cross sections for a W boson produced in association with jets in the muon decay channel is presented. The measurement is based on 13 TeV proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.2 fb−1, recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC. The cross sections are reported as functions of jet

Background: There is a paucity of literature pertaining to smoking cessation counselling among Malaysian pharmacy students. Aims: To assess pharmacy students’ perceptions from a private institution on their smoking cessation counselling competency. The relationships between constructs, namely self-efficacy, attitude, perceived ideal roles of phar

Introduction: Maternal depression and anxiety disorders are reported as current public health issues globally. The depressive or anxiety state will progressing worsen and risky to mother and foetal health as drastic hormonal changes occur following conception if no proper adjustment made. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of mother'

The fabrication of high quality graphene has become the main interest in current chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method due to the scalability for mass production of graphene-based electronic devices. The quality of graphene is determined by defect density, number of layers and properties changed such as electron mobility, transparency and conduct

For the first time a principle-component analysis is used to separate out different orthogonal modes of the two-particle correlation matrix from heavy ion collisions. The analysis uses data from √sNN = 2.76 TeV PbPb and √sNN = 5.02 TeV pPb collisions collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Two-particle azimuthal corre

A search for dark matter and unparticle production at the LHC has been performed using events containing two charged leptons (electrons or muons), consistent with the decay of a Z boson, and large missing transverse momentum. This study is based on data collected with the CMS detector in 2015, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb−1

A search for dark matter particles is performed using events with large missing transverse momentum, at least one energetic jet, and no leptons, in proton-proton collisions at s√=13 TeV collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 12.9 fb−1. The search includes events with jets from the

A search for pair production of massive vector-like T and B quarks in protonproton collisions at √ s = 13 TeV is presented. The data set was collected in 2015 by the CMS experiment at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of up to 2.6 fb−1 . The T and B quarks are assumed to decay through three possible channels into a heavy boson
