The WZ production cross section in proton-proton collisions at √{ s} = 13 TeV is measured with the CMS experiment at the LHC using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb-1. The measurement is performed in the leptonic decay modes WZ → ℓνℓ‧ℓ‧, where ℓ ,ℓ‧ = e , μ. The measured cross section for the range 60

The cross section of top quark-antiquark pair production in proton-proton collisions at {√{s}} = 13 {TeV} is measured by the CMS experiment at the LHC, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.2 {fb}^{-1}. The measurement is performed by analyzing events in which the final state includes one electron, one muon, and two or more jets

The cross section for Higgs boson production in pp collisions is studied using the H → W+W- decay mode, followed by leptonic decays of the W bosons to an oppositely charged electron-muon pair in the final state. The measurements are performed using data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, corresponding to

A measurement of the double-differential inclusive jet cross section as a function of the jet transverse momentum p T and the absolute jet rapidity | y| is presented. Data from LHC proton-proton collisions at √{s}=8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb-1, have been collected with the CMS detector. Jets are reconstructed using

We introduce the empirical framework concerning optical and near-infrared (NIR) photometry of crowded stellar fields. In particular, we address the impact that linear detectors and analytical PSF played in improving the accuracy and the precision of multi-band color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs). We focus our attention on recent findings based on deep

We present results on luminous and dark matter mass distributions in disk galaxies from the DiskMass Survey. As expected for normal disk galaxies, stars dominate the baryonic mass budget in the inner region of the disk; however, at about four optical scale lengths (hR ) the atomic gas starts to become the dominant contributor. Unexpectedly, we find
