Si nanoclusters were formed by Si-28 ion implantation into SiO2 matrix and subsequently annealed at 1050 degrees C for 2 h under N-2 ambient. The photoluminescence (PL) characteristics depend on the Si-28 fluence. The PL signals seen at around 775 mn and 825 nm are assigned to light emitting centers connected to formation of Si clusters, for 5 x 10(16) cm(-2) and 1 x 10(17) cm(-2) Si-28 fluences, respectively. Defect-related light emission observed at around 625 nm emerges only in the case of high implantation fluence. These sample sets were post implanted with Si-28 ions at fluences between 1 x 10(12) and 1 x 10(14) cm(-2) to monitor the variations in PL emission as a function of post implantation fluence. The PL emission decreases and exhibits a blue-shift with increasing post implantation fluence and quenches totally when the fluence exceeds a certain value, while the peak seen at 625 nm which is related to matrix defects is enhanced after the post implantation. Upon thermal annealing, the PL peaks measured at 775 nm and 825 nm recovered and reached the intensity of the peak before the post implantation. The variations in the PL peak with the implantation fluence and annealing conditions are ascribed to the different structure of Si nanoinclusions in the SiO2 matrix.

Observation of nuclear modifications in W-+/- boson production in pPb collisions at root s(NN)=8.16 TeV
Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01)
The production of W-+/- bosons is studied in proton-lead (pPb) collisions at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy of root s(NN) = 8.16 TeV. Measurements are performed in the W-+/- -> mu(+/-)nu(mu) channel using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 173.4 +/- 6.1 nb(-1), collected by the CMS Collaboration at the LHC. The number of positively and negatively charged W bosons is determined separately in the muon pseudorapidity region in the laboratory frame vertical bar eta(mu)(lab)verti...
Study of Z boson production in pPb collisions at root S-NN=5.02 TeV
Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2016-08-01)
The production of Z bosons in pPb collisions at root S-NN = 5.02 TeV is studied by the CMS experiment via the electron and muon decay channels. The inclusive cross section is compared to pp collision predictions, and found to scale with the number of elementary nucleon-nucleon collisions. The differential cross sections as a function of the Z boson rapidity and transverse momentum are measured. Though they are found to be consistent within uncertainty with theoretical predictions both with and without nucle...
Study of jet quenching with isolated-photon plus jet correlations in PbPb and pp collisions at root s(NN)=5.02 TeV
Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2018-10-01)
Measurements of azimuthal angle and transverse momentum (p(T)) correlations of isolated photons and associated jets are reported for pp and PbPb collisions at root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV. The data were recorded with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. For events containing a leading isolated photon with p(T)(gamma) > 40 GeV/c and an associated jet with p(T)(jet) > 30 GeV/c, the photon+jet azimuthal correlation and p(T) imbalance in PbPb collisions are studied as functions of collision centrality and p(T)(gamma). Th...
Measurement of the inclusive isolated prompt photon cross-section in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV using 35 pb(-1) of ATLAS data
Aad, G.; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2011-12-06)
A measurement of the differential cross-section for the inclusive production of isolated prompt photons in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy root s = 7 TeV is presented. The measurement covers the pseudorapidity ranges vertical bar eta vertical bar < 1.37 and 1.52 <= vertical bar eta vertical bar < 2.37 in the transverse energy range 45 <= E-T < 400 GeV. The results are based on an integrated luminosity of 35 pb(-1), collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The yields of the signal photons are m...
Search for supersymmetric partners of electrons and muons in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV
Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2019-03-01)
A search for direct production of the supersymmetric (SUSY) partners of electrons or muons is presented in final states with two opposite-charge, same-flavour leptons (electrons and muons), no jets, and large missing transverse momentum. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1) of proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in 2016. The search uses the M-T2 variable, which generalises the transverse mass for systems with two invisible...
