We review the theoretical status of squark and gluino hadroproduction and provide
numerical predictions for all squark and gluino pair-production processes at the Tevatron …

The full optimization of the design and operation of instruments whose functioning relies on
the interaction of radiation with matter is a super-human task, due to the large dimensionality …

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the CERN LHC is a general purpose device
designed primarily to search for signatures of new physics in proton-proton (pp) and heavy …

Modern general-purpose detectors at high-energy colliders are based on the concept of
cylindrical detection layers, nested around the beam axis. Starting from the beam interaction …

Improved jet energy scale corrections, based on a data sample corresponding to an
integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse-femtobarns collected by the CMS experiment in proton …

The performance and strategies used in electron reconstruction and selection at CMS are
presented based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse …

The version 3.0 of the Delphes fast-simulation is presented. The goal of Delphes is to allow
the simulation of a multipurpose detector for phenomenological studies. The simulation …

A description is provided of the software algorithms developed for the CMS tracker both for
reconstructing charged-particle trajectories in proton-proton interactions and for using the …

The performance of muon reconstruction, identification, and triggering in CMS has been
studied using 40 pb− 1 of data collected in pp collisions at√ s= 7 TeV at the LHC in 2010. A …

The transverse momentum spectra of charged particles have been measured in pp and
PbPb collisions at s_NN=2.76~TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC. In the transverse …
