The luminosity of the CMS detector has been measured at the LHC Interaction Point~5 using proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV during the Run 2 data-taking period (2015-2018). [...] OpenAccess: PDF PDF (PDFA); 2022-12-0914:07 [PUBDB-2022-07463] Preprint Guglielmi, V. ; CMS Collaboration Machine learning approaches for parameter reweighting for MC samples of top quark production in CMS [arXiv:2211.07355]   In high-energy particle physics, complex Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are needed to compare theory predictions to measurable quantities. Many and large MC samples are needed to be generated to take into account all the systematics. [...] Restricted: PDF PDF (PDFA); 2022-12-0914:01 [PUBDB-2022-07460] Preprint Ribeiro Lopes, B. ; CMS Collaboration ; TOTEM Collaboration Search for central exclusive production of top quark pairs with the CMS and TOTEM experiments [CMS-CR-2022-182; CMS-CR-2022-183; arXiv:2210.13884] A search for central exclusive production of top quark pairs ($\mathrm{t}\bar{\mathrm{t}}$) is presented using collision data collected by CMS and the CMS-TOTEM Precision Proton Spectrometer in 2017. A data-driven method to estimate the background from coincidences of inclusive events and pileup protons is described, as well as the development of a Boosted Decision Tree classifier to separate the exclusive $\mathrm{t}\bar{\mathrm{t}}$ signal from the inclusive $\mathrm{t}\bar{\mathrm{t}}$ background.

Its value has been measured precisely at the $\mathrm{Z}$-pole at colliders. [...] OpenAccess: PDF PDF (PDFA); 2022-12-0913:41 [PUBDB-2022-07457] Preprint Maekelae, T. ; Hoang, A. ; Lipka, K. ; et al Single-differential top quark pair production cross sections with running mass schemes at NLO [arXiv:2211.13607] Single-differential cross section predictions for top quark pair production are presented at next-to-leading order, using running top quark mass renormalization schemes. The evolution of the mass of the top quark is performed in the MSR scheme $m_\mathrm{t}^{\textrm{MSR}}(\mu)$ for renormalization scales $\mu$ below the $\overline{\textrm{MS}}$ top quark mass $\overline{m}_\mathrm{t}(\overline{m}_\mathrm{t})$, and in the $\overline{\textrm{MS}}$ scheme $\overline{m}_\mathrm{t}(\mu)$ for scales above.

The intended use of the wire scanners (to center the electron beam in the Free Electron Laser undulator) requires an especially precise alignment of the wire scanners with respect to the undulator axis. [...] OpenAccess: PDF PDF (PDFA); 2022-12-0913:32 [PUBDB-2022-07455] Preprint Wuchterl, S. ; CMS Collaboration Measurement of the top quark pole mass using $\text{t}\overline{\text{t}}$+jet events in the dilepton final state at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV [arXiv:2207.13413] In these proceedings, a measurement of the differential cross section of top quark-antiquark pair ($\text{t}\overline{\text{t}}$) production in association with one additional jet ($\text{t}\overline{\text{t}}$+jet) as a function of the inverse of the invariant mass of the $\text{t}\overline{\text{t}}$+jet system, $\rho=340\,\text{GeV}/m_{\text{t}\overline{\text{t}}+\text{jet}}$, is presented. The normalized $\text{t}\overline{\text{t}}$+jet cross section is used to extract values for the top quark pole mass $m_{\text{t}}^{\text{pole}}$ by a comparison to theoretical predictions at next-to-leading order accuracy.

An Analysis of Longitudinal Phase Space Fragmentation at the TESLA Test Facility [DESY-TESLA-FEL-2000-05G] 353-356 (2001) [10.3204/PUBDB-2018-01294]   It has been repeatedly observed, at TTF-FEL, that the energy profile of the fully longitudinally compressed beam breaks up into peaks. In this paper we analyze a potential cause of this effect.
