First Results of Searches for New Physics at 7 TeV with the CMS detector

TL;DR

This paper reports initial results from CMS at the LHC searching for new physics phenomena at 7 TeV, including analyses of jet pairs and long-lived particles, providing early insights into potential beyond Standard Model signals.

Contribution

It presents the first experimental searches for new physics at 7 TeV with CMS, including novel methods for detecting long-lived particles that decay between beam crossings.

Findings

No significant excess observed in jet pair events.

Limits set on production cross sections of heavy stable charged particles.

First constraints on long-lived particle models at 7 TeV.

Abstract

First searches for new physics phenomena using the LHC 7 TeV proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS detector in 2010 are reviewed. Results are presented of searches for new physics in events with hadronic jet pairs, and for heavy stable charged particles, including a dedicated search for long-lived particles that stop in the detector and decay in periods between beam crossings.
