During the Run 2 period of the LHC, the ATLAS and CMS experiments have accumulated proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of around 3 fb$^{-1}$ in 2015 and 36 fb$^{-1}$ in 2016 at a center of mass energy of…
The results of searches for supersymmetry by the CMS experiment are interpreted in the framework of simplified models. The results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.73 to 4.98 inverse femtobarns. The data were…
The inclusive jet cross section is measured as a function of jet transverse momentum $p_\mathrm{T}$ and rapidity $y$. The measurement is performed using proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}$ = 5.02 TeV, recorded by the CMS experiment…
The hard pomeron first came to light in deep inelastic lepton scattering, but evidence that it contributes also to soft hadronic collisions is reinforced by the fact that it seems to obey a factorisation similar to that of other Regge…

The staged increase of the LHC beam energy provides a new class of interesting observables, namely ratios and double ratios of cross sections of various hard processes. The large degree of correlation of theoretical systematics in the cross…
We present measurements of the total inelastic pp cross section at 7 TeV obtained with the CMS detector. Two different methods are used. In runs with low event pile-up, we exploit the large pseudorapidity coverage (|\eta|<5.2) of the CMS…
A measurement of the double-differential inclusive dijet production cross section in proton-proton collisions at \sqrt{s}= 7 TeV is presented as a function of the dijet invariant mass and jet rapidity. The data correspond to an integrated…
The production of the $W$ and $Z$ bosons in single diffractive processes at the LHC is investigated taking into account the ATLAS, CMS and LHCb acceptances and considering different assumptions for the flavour content of the Pomeron. The…

In 2016, the Large Hadron Collider provided proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV center-of-mass energy and achieved very high luminosity and reliability. The performance of the CMS Experiment in this running period and a selection of recent…
At high collision energies as achieved at the LHC there are increasing contributions from hard processes, which can be computed with perturbative QCD. Nevertheless, particle production is still dominated by soft QCD with transferred…
After nearly two decades of design, construction and commissioning, the CMS detector was operated with colliding LHC proton beams for the first time in November 2009. Collision data were recorded at centre-of-mass energies of 0.9 and 2.36…
Multifractal analysis was performed on $pp$ collision data at $\sqrt{s}=$ 0.9, 7 and 8 TeV from the CMS experiment at CERN. The data was obtained and processed from the CERN Open Data Portal. Vertical analysis was used to compute the…
A measurement is reported of differential top quark pair ($\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$) production cross sections, where top quarks are produced at large transverse momenta. The data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC are from pp collisions…
Hard diffraction in events with dijets and rapidity gaps has been studied by D\O and CDF for three processes: hard color singlet exchange, hard single diffraction, and hard double pomeron exchange, using Tevatron $\bar pp$ data at…
We present predictions for the diffractive production of $\chi$ mesons in the central rapidity region usually covered by collider detectors. The predicted cross sections are based on the Bialas-Landshoff formalism for both exclusive and…
We examine a model of hadronic diffractive scattering which interpolates between perturbative QCD and non-perturbative fits. We restrict the perturbative QCD resummation to the large transverse momentum region, and use a simple Regge-pole…

Independently of any theory, the possibility that the large value of the Tevatron cross section claimed by CDF is correct suggests that the total cross section at the LHC may be large. Because of the experimental and theoretical…
