Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are among the most important gas and dust polluters of the Universe. The latest AGB evolutionary models take into account dust production in the circumstellar envelope of these stars, starting from a detailed computation of the main physical processes and chemical surface variations occurring in this evolutionary

Measurements are presented of Wγγ and Zγγ production in proton-proton collisions. Fiducial cross sections are reported based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.4 fb-1 collected with the CMS detector at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. Signal is identified through the W → ℓν and Z → ℓℓ decay modes, where ℓ is a muon or

Jet charge is an estimator of the electric charge of a quark, antiquark, or gluon initiating a jet. It is based on the momentum-weighted sum of the electric charges of the jet constituents. Measurements of three charge observables of the leading jet in transverse momentum p T are performed with dijet events. The analysis is carried out with ata

A measurement of the cross section for top quark-antiquark ( t\overline{t} ) pairs produced in association with a photon in proton-proton collisions at √{s}=8 TeV is presented. The analysis uses data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb1. The signal is defined as the production of a t

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

The differential production cross sections of B± mesons are measured via the exclusive decay channels B±→J /ψ K±→μ+μ-K± as a function of transverse momentum in p p and Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy √{sN N }=5.02 TeV per nucleon pair with the CMS detector at the LHC. The p p (Pb-Pb ) data set used for this analysis corresponds to an
