Publications of UZH CMS group

The members of the CMS UZH group are authors of more than 1000 publications, through contributions to physics measurements, searches for new physics interactions and particles, building and operating detector systems, and development and implementation of event and object selection algorithms.

  The full set of publications can be found here.

The list of publications of the group where we have been primary authors: developing, completing, and defending the analysis, and writing the publications can be found in the Physics Analysis and Detector Development section.
