Abstract:

The results of a search for pair production of a heavy, top-like quark, t ', in the decay mode t't-'→bW+b-W-→bℓ+νb-ℓ-ν- are presented. The search is performed with a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0fb -1 in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The observed number of events agrees with the expectation from standard model processes, and no evidence of t't-' production is found. Upper limits on the production cross section as a function of t ' mass are presented, and t ' masses below 557GeV/c 2 are excluded at the 95% confidence level. © 2012 CERN.

Abstract:

A search for high-mass resonances decaying into τ +τ - is performed using a data sample of pp collisions at s=7TeV. The data were collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb -1. The number of observed events is in agreement with the standard model prediction. An upper limit on the product of the resonance cross section and branching fraction into τ-lepton pairs is calculated as a function of the resonance mass. Using the sequential standard model resonance ZSSM' and the superstring-inspired E 6 model with resonance Zψ' as benchmarks, resonances with standard model couplings with masses below 1.4 and 1.1 TeV, respectively, are excluded at 95% confidence level. © 2012 CERN.

Abstract:

We report a measurement of the difference (ΔACP) between time-integrated CP-violating asymmetries in D0→K+K- and D0→π+π- decays reconstructed in the full data set of proton-antiproton collisions collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab, corresponding to 9.7fb-1 of integrated luminosity. The strong decay D*+→D0π+ is used to identify the charm meson at production as D0 or D̄0. We measure ΔACP=[-0.62±0.21(stat)±0.10(syst)]%, which differs from zero by 2.7 Gaussian standard deviations. This result supports similar evidence for CP violation in charm-quark decays obtained in proton-proton collisions. © 2012 American Physical Society.
