1/n Wednesday #NoeticSpectrum : It’s very hard to trace the current state of the #StandardModel back to any potential #TimeZero without recognition that you have to qualify that origin as a #Local time zero ; we parameterize all of of our inherent metrics in terms of the very finite
#SpeedOfLight,which produces a horizon beyond which we should not be able to see.New data is challenging us beyond those limits. Many welcome that challenge.But the discomfort is too much for some and they run away-

Measurement of the $ \mathrm{Z} \to \mu^{+}\mu^{-} $ angular coefficients in pp collisions at $ \sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV as functions of transverse momentum and rapidity

A measurement of the eight angular polarization coefficients, $ A_0 $ to $ A_7 $, in the cross section for the Drell--Yan production of two muons is presented. The analysis is based on proton-proton (pp) collision data recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of $ \sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb$ ^{-1} $. The coefficients are determined double differentially in eight intervals of transverse momentum and two intervals of rapidity of the muon pair $ \mu^{+}\mu^{-} $. The results are presented for the $ \mu^{+}\mu^{-} $ invariant mass range 81--101 GeV and are compared with theoretical predictions calculated at next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative quantum chromodynamics. The measurement provides relevant information about the underlying partonic dynamics and the Z boson production mechanisms.

#CMSpaper soon on arXiv: Simultaneous measurements of N-subjettiness observables in jets from gluons and light-flavour quarks, and in decays of boosted W bosons and top quarks (CERN-EP-2025-294) https://cds.cern.ch/record/2960043 #StandardModel
Simultaneous measurements of $ N $-subjettiness observables in jets from gluons and light-flavour quarks, and in decays of boosted W bosons and top quarks

A simultaneous measurement of 25 substructure observables is presented using large-radius jets with high transverse momentum from proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV. The measurement is carried out on dijet events and $ \mathrm{t} \overline{\mathrm{t}} $ events enriched in Lorentz-boosted W bosons and top quarks decaying hadronically. The three data samples consist of jets with one, two, or three prongs from the showering and hadronization of a gluon or light-flavour quark, two quarks, or three quarks, respectively. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$ ^{-1} $, recorded by the CMS experiment in 2016--2018. A detailed characterization of the jet substructure is provided using a 6-body basis of $ N $-subjettiness observables that overconstrains the phase space of the resolved emissions in the jet. The measurements are unfolded to the level of stable particles, and an estimate of the particle-level correlations between observables is provided, ensuring that the results can be used to systematically assess and refine the modelling of radiation in jets.
