Abstract:

Results are presented from a search for large, extra spatial dimensions in events with either two isolated muons or two isolated electrons. The data are from proton-proton interactions at s=7 TeV collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. The size of the data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of approximately 2 fb -1. The observed dimuon and dielectron mass spectra are found to be consistent with standard-model expectations. Depending on the number of extra dimensions, the 95% confidence level limits from the combined μμ and ee channels range from M s>2.4 TeV to M s>3.8 TeV, where M s characterizes the scale for the onset of quantum gravity. © 2012 CERN.

Abstract:

We present a measurement of the CP-violating parameter βsJ/ψ using approximately 6500 Bs0→J/ψ decays reconstructed with the CDF II detector in a sample of pp̄ collisions at √s=1.96TeV corresponding to 5.2fb -1 integrated luminosity produced by the Tevatron collider at Fermilab. We find the CP-violating phase to be within the range βsJ/ψ [0.02,0.52] [1.08,1.55] at 68% confidence level where the coverage property of the quoted interval is guaranteed using a frequentist statistical analysis. This result is in agreement with the standard model expectation at the level of about one Gaussian standard deviation. We consider the inclusion of a potential S-wave contribution to the Bs0→J/ψK +K - final state which is found to be negligible over the mass interval 1.009
