 ECAL hit timing with Run1 and Run2 energy reconstruction in early 25ns data at 13 TeV /CMS Collaboration In the following hit time distributions in the electromagnetic calorimeter barrel are presented for hits with measured energy larger than 1 GeV in collision data at \sqrt(s)=13 TeV and 25 ns bunch spacing. Hit time distributions are presented using two different methods for energy reconstruction: the "weights method" (default during Run 1) and the "multifit method" (developed for Run 2). With the weights method the energy deposits in bunch crossings (BX) different from the one firing the trigger contribute to the hit energy.

 Event Display of a Candidate Electron-Positron Pair with an Invariant Mass of 2.9 TeV /CMS Collaboration This performance note shows the event display together with some kinematic quantities for a candidate electron-positron pair with an invariant mass of 2.9 TeV. The background expected from the SM above m(ee) = 1 TeV, 2 TeV and 2.5 TeV for an integrated luminosity of 65 pb-1 is also stated.. CMS-DP-2015-039; CERN-CMS-DP-2015-039.- Geneva : CERN, 2015 - 11 p.

 b-tagging in boosted topologies /CMS Collaboration As the LHC explores a new energy regime, searches for physics beyond the Standard Model at high mass scale will probe objects produced with a momentum considerably higher than their mass, modifying in a very appreciable way the event topology. The decay products of boosted objects will be collimated into a smaller area such that they could be merged within a single \emph{fat} jet.

 First 48 pb$^{-1}$ of data at 13 TeV: a few selected plots from Exotica non-hadronic analyses /CMS Collaboration This performance note shows a first look at the dielectron and dimuon invariant mass spectra and the transverse mass distribution for muon + E$_{\rm T}^{\rm miss}$ events at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13~TeV as observed by the CMS experiment at the LHC at CERN. The data corresponds to an integrated luminosity of up to 48 pb$^{-1}$ collected in July 2015 with the LHC bunch spacing of 50~ns.

 Performance of CMS Resistive Plate Chambers in CRAFT and early 2015 collisions at 13 TeV /CMS Collaboration Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) performance results with cosmics data at 3.8 T and p-p collision data at 13 TeV for 2015 are presented. These results include plots of relevant RPC variables such as occupancy, cluster size, efficiency and residuals. [...] CMS-DP-2015-032; CERN-CMS-DP-2015-032.- Geneva : CERN, 2015 - 12 p.

 First Results from the Pixel Luminosity Telescope (PLT) /CMS Collaboration The Pixel Luminosity Telescope (PLT) is a silicon pixel detector dedicated to luminosity measurement at CMS. After a successful pilot run in 2012, the full PLT system, consisting of 48 pixel sensors mounted in 16 telescopes, eight on each side of CMS, was installed during LS1.

 Validation of the Mean-Timer algorithm for DT Local Reconstruction and muon time measurement, using 2012 data. /CMS Collaboration The Mean-Timer algorithm is used for the local reconstruction within the CMS Drift Tubes (DT), for muons that appear to be out-of-time (OOT) or lack measured hits in one of the two space projections. Compared to standard linear fit, this method improves the spatial resoluton for OOT muons. [...] CMS-DP-2015-026; CERN-CMS-DP-2015-026.- Geneva : CERN, 2015 - 7 p. Fulltext: PDF;
