    The operation and general performance of the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter at sqrt{s} = 7 TeV are described. The first LHC beams have been used to finalize the commissioning of ECAL readout and trigger. The precision of the inter-channel synchronization and calibration has been verified and improved with collision data, exploiting decays of pi0s and eta into two photons, the phi invariance...

    Since the restart of the LHC, ATLAS has successfully recorded data at sqrt{s} = 0.9 and 7 TeV. The ATLAS trigger strategy realised a step-wise activation of the three level trigger system, starting with hardware-based first-level (L1) triggers and moving with increasing luminosities to the deployment of the software-based high-level triggers (HLT). We will present L1 and HLT triggers and their...

    The first measurement of the production cross-sections for W and Z bosons in proton proton interactions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV are reported from the ATLAS experiment. Based on its excellent capability for reconstructing both high pT electrons and muons, the electron and the muon decay modes of the W/Z bosons are compared. First results for the ratio of W/Z production and of W+/W- production...

    After the first observation of the inclusive single top-quark production in the s- and t-channels by both CDF and D0, the Tevatron collaborations combined their measurements using the distributions of their multivariate discriminants. A Bayesian analysis is used to extract the cross section at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV from 3.2/fb (CDF) and 2.3/fb (D0) of data, respectively. For a...

The result supersedes our previous measurement and represents the most sensitive measurement up to date.

    In the Standard Model, lepton-number-violating decays such as $B^+ \to D^- \ell^+ \ell^+$ is strictly forbidden, but they are allowed if there exist Majorana-type neutrinos.  In this poster, we report a first search for $B^+ \to D^- \ell^+ \ell^+$ ($\ell = e$ or $\mu$) decays with 772$\times 10^{-6}$ $B \bar{B}$ pairs produced by energy-asymmetric $e^+ e^-$ collision at KEKB accelerator and...

    The full reconstruction is an important tool for particle physics at the $B$ factories. By fully reconstructing one of the two $B$ mesons coming from the $\Upsilon (4S)$ resonance (tag side), the 4-momentum of the other $B$ meson (signal side) is immediately known and all remaining tracks in the detector can be associated with this other $B$ meson. The full reconstruction is therefore an...

    Higgs decay to WW leading to a final state of 2 leptons and missing energy constitutes one of the main Higgs search channels at the LHC.

    With a projected design luminostity of 10^{34} cm^{-2}s^{-1} the LHC will provide about 10^9 proton collisions per second within the CMS detector.

    The neutralino is the lightest supersymmetric particle in many SUSY models. Thus in R parity conserving models it provides a perfect dark matter candidate by being electromagnetically neutral, weakly interacting and stable.
