A search for low-mass dilepton resonances in Higgs boson decays is conducted in the four-lepton final state. The decay is assumed to proceed via a pair of beyond the standard model particles, or one such particle and a Z boson. The search uses proton-proton collision data collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb$^{-1}$, at a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV. No significant deviation from the standard model expectation is observed. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are set on model-independent Higgs boson decay branching fractions. Additionally, limits on dark photon and axion-like particle production, based on two specific models, are reported.
Yields for J/psi production in Cu+Cu collisions at sqrt (s_NN)= 200 GeV have been measured by the PHENIX experiment over the rapidity range |y| < 2.2 at transverse momenta from 0 to beyond 5 GeV/c. The invariant yield is obtained as a function of rapidity, transverse momentum and collision centrality, and compared with results in p+p and Au+Au collisions at the same energy. The Cu+Cu data provide greatly improved precision over existing Au+Au data for J/psi production in collisions with small to intermediate numbers of participants, providing a key constraint that is needed for disentangling cold and hot nuclear matter effects.
J/psi-->e+e- invariant yield in Cu+Cu collisions as a function of p_T at mid-rapidity for the 0-20 centrality range. The statistical and systematic uncertainties vary point-to-point and are listed for each measured value. An additional global systematic uncertainty is provided in each column heading, which applies to all data points per column.

Data on the multiplicity and inclusive spectra of γ produced in inelastic pNe20 and pN interactions at 300 GeV are presented. The γ multiplicity for pNe20 interactions is 11.43±0.23, and the ratio of 〈nγ〉 for pNe20 and pN interactions is 1.48±0.05. From an analysis of the effective-mass distributions, 〈nπ0〉=4.91±0.52 and 〈nη0〉=1.47±0.33. In fact, η0 production is much higher in pNe20 interactions [R(η0π0)=0.66±0.12 for np≥21] than in pN interactions [R(η0π0)=0.06±0.04]. No η′(958) signal is seen. Strong correlations between 〈nγ〉 and np, the number of secondary protons, are observed, primarily from the central and target fragmentation regions. Inclusive y* and p⊥ spectra are analyzed and evidence for low-energy cascading and rescattering of fast particles in the projectile fragmentation region is discussed. The data are compared to the predictions of the additive quark model, the Lund model, and the dual parton model.

Data on multiplicity, correlations, and inclusive spectra of KS0 mesons and Λ0(Λ¯0) hyperons produced with xF≤0 in inelastic pNe20 and pN interactions at 300 GeV are presented and compared. The inclusive cross sections for pNe20 (pN) with xF≤0 are 61.1±2.8 mb (3.34±0.64 mb) for KS0, 40.8±2.5 mb (1.89±0.29 mb) for Λ0, and 3.9±0.5 mb (0.31±0.08 mb) for Λ¯0. The multiplicity ratio for pNe20 and pN interactions is 1.58±0.16 for KS0, 1.95±0.23 for Λ0, and 1.12±0.43 for Λ¯0. We have observed the Σ0(1193) hyperon and measured the average multiplicity (nΣ0=0.049±0.027) for xF≤0. We have also observed the strange resonances K*(892), K*(1415), and Σ*(1385) with xF≤0 and measured the fraction of V0 coming from each resonance. Λ0 polarization for xF≤0 is measured and shows a decrease as p⊥ increases [pΛ(pNe20)≈−0.25 at p⊥=1.5 GeV/c], in agreement with other experiments which measure polarization in the region xF≫0. Since (43±7)% of the Λ0 are produced in Σ0→Λ0γ decays, the Λ0 polarization is significantly greater than the measured values. Experimental results are compared to predictions of the Lund model and the dual parton model of soft hadron-nucleus and hadron-nucleon interactions.

A measurement of the WZ$\gamma$ triboson production cross section is presented. The analysis is based on a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. The analysis focuses on the final state with three charged leptons, $\ell^\pm\nu\ell^+\ell^-$, where $\ell$ = e or $\mu$, accompanied by an additional photon. The observed (expected) significance of the WZ$\gamma$ signal is 5.4 (3.8) standard deviations. The cross section is measured in a fiducial region to be 5.48 $\pm$ 1.11 fb, which is compatible with the prediction of 3.69 $\pm$ 0.24 fb at next-to-leading order in quantum chromodynamics. Exclusion limits are set on anomalous quartic gauge couplings and on the production cross sections of massive axion-like particles.
Expected and observed 95% upper limits on the product of the cross section and branching fraction$\sigma(\mathrm{pp} \ ightarrow W\mathrm{a})\mathcal{B}(W ightarrow \ell^{+} v_{\ell})\mathcal{B}(\mathrm{a} \rightarrow Z\gamma)\mathcal{B}(Z \rightarrow \ell^{+} \ell^{-})$ s a function of the ALP mass from 110 to 400 GeV
