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

Aims: We present a new approach to study the mass-metallicity relation and its dependency on time. Methods: We used the star formation history (SFH) derived from color-magnitude diagram fitting techniques of a sample of Local Group (LG) dwarfs to obtain stellar masses, metallicities, and star-formation rates (SFR) to analyze the mass-metallicity

Context. We report on the first of a series of studies on coronal bright points which investigate the physical mechanism that generates these phenomena. Aims: The aim of this paper is to understand the magnetic-field structure that hosts the bright points. Methods: We use longitudinal magnetograms taken by the Solar Optical Telescope with the

The microquasar V404 Cygni underwent a series of outbursts in 2015, June 15-31, during which its flux in hard X-rays (20-40 keV) reached about 40 times the Crab nebula flux. Because of the exceptional interest of the flaring activity from this source, observations at several wavelengths were conducted. The MAGIC telescopes, triggered by the
