Measurement of the B+ production cross section in pp collisions at √s=7TeV
Physical Review Letters 106:11 (2011)
Abstract:
Measurements of the total and differential cross sections dσ/dpTB and dσ/dyB for B+ mesons produced in pp collisions at √s=7TeV are presented. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5.8pb-1 collected by the CMS experiment operating at the LHC. The exclusive decay B+→J/ψK+, with J/ψ→μ+μ-, is used to detect B+ mesons and to measure the production cross section as a function of pTB and yB. The total cross section for pTB>5GeV and |yB|<2.4 is measured to be 28.1±2.4±2.0±3.1μb, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the last is from the luminosity measurement. © 2011 American Physical Society.Measurement of the lepton charge asymmetry in inclusive W production in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV

Search for a heavy gauge boson decaying to a charged lepton and a neutrino in 1 fb-1 of pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV using the ATLAS detector
Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics 705:1-2 (2011) 28-46
Abstract:
The ATLAS detector at the LHC is used to search for high-mass states, such as heavy charged gauge bosons (W'), decaying to a charged lepton (electron or muon) and a neutrino. Results are presented based on the analysis of pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.04 fb-1. No excess above Standard Model expectations is observed. A W' with Sequential Standard Model couplings is excluded at the 95% confidence level for masses up to 2.15 TeV.Measurement of the energy dependence of the total photon-proton cross section at HERA
Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics 697:3 (2011) 184-193
Abstract:
The energy dependence of the photon-proton total cross section, σtotγp, was determined from e+p scattering data collected with the ZEUS detector at HERA at three values of the center-of-mass energy, W, of the γp system in the range 194Search for Physics Beyond the Standard Model in Opposite-Sign Dilepton Events at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV
