The production cross sections of the B+, B0 , and Bs0 mesons, and of their charge conjugates, are measured via exclusive hadronic decays in p +Pb collisions at the center-of-mass energy √{sN N }=5.02 TeV with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The data set used for this analysis corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 34.6 nb-1 . The production

Context. Among the myriad of data collected by the ESA Gaia satellite, about 150 million spectra will be delivered by the Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) for stars as faint as GRVS~ 16. A specific stellar parametrization will be performed on most of these RVS spectra, i.e. those with enough high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N), which should

Context. Determining whether asteroids in cometary orbits (ACOs) are dormant or extinct comets is relevant for understanding the end-states of comets and the sizes of the comet population. Aims: We intend to study the value distributions of effective diameter (D), beaming parameter (η), and visible geometric albedo (pV) of ACO populations, which

A search for fermionic top quark partners T of charge 2 /3 is presented. The search is carried out in proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb-1 collected at a center-of-mass energy of √{s }=8 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. The T quarks are assumed to be produced strongly in pairs and can decay into t H

A search is presented for a singly produced excited bottom quark (b*) decaying to a top quark and a W boson in the all-hadronic, lepton+jets, and dilepton final states in proton-proton collisions at √{s}=8 TeV recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC. Data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb-1 are used. No significant excess

A search is performed for the production of heavy resonances decaying into top-antitop quark pairs in proton-proton collisions at √{s }=8 TeV . Data used for the analyses were collected with the CMS detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb-1 . The search is performed using events with three different final states, defined by
