Due to the large expected instantaneous luminosity, the future HL-LHC upgrade sets strong requirements on the radiation hardness of the CMS detector Inner Tracker. Sensors based on 3D pixel technology, with its superior radiation tolerance, comply with these extreme conditions. A full study and characterization of pixelated 3D sensors fabricated by FBK is presented here. The sensors were bump-bonded to RD53A readout chips and measured at several CERN SPS test beams. Results on charge collection and efficiency, for both non-irradiated and irradiated up to 1016 neq/cm2 samples, are presented. Two main studies are described: in the first the behaviour of the sensor is qualified as a function of irradiation, while kept under identical conditions; in the second the response is measured under typical operating conditions.

A study of 3D pixel sensors of cell size 50 {\mu}m x 50 {\mu}m fabricated at IMB-CNM using double-sided n-on-p 3D technology is presented. Sensors were bump-bonded to the ROC4SENS readout chip. For the first time in such a small-pitch hybrid assembly, the sensor response to ionizing radiation in a test beam of 5.6 GeV electrons was studied. Results for non-irradiated sensors are presented, including efficiency, charge sharing, signal-to-noise, and resolution for different incidence angles.

The WZ associated diboson production is studied by measuring both inclusive cross section and, for the first time, the ratio between the $W^-Z$ and the $W^+Z$ cross sections. The measurements are performed using data samples of proton-proton collisions collected during the years 2011 and 2012, at 7 and 8 TeV of centre-of-mass energies, respectively, by the CMS experiment at the LHC, updating the 7 TeV cross section measurement available in CMS, and presenting the new cross section measurement in CMS at 8 TeV. The data sample used for the 7 TeV measurements correspond to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 $fb^{-1}$, whence the data for the 8 TeV correspond to $\mathcal{L}_{int}=19.6~fb^{-1}$. The obtained results are found compatible with the Standard Model predictions.

The CMS Muon system consists of 250 drift tube (DT) chambers in the central region and 468 cathode strip chambers (CSC) in the forward region, complimented by 480 fast-response resistive plate chambers distributed in both regions for triggering purposes. The muon system provides fast muon trigger, muon identification, and muon trajectory measurements. The performance of the muon system depends on the precise knowledge of the positions and orientations of all its elements within the CMS detector. We present two alignment techniques, track-based and hardware-based. The track-based technique uses muon tracks from pp collision data at the LHC to align the muon system elements relative to the CMS inner silicon tracker. A complimentary hardware-based technique consists of two separate optical systems in the central and forward regions linked by a third system to the inner tracker. The hardware systems are designed to perform well in an environment of large radiation flux and high magnetic field. We discuss the alignment results after several years of CMS operation, the achieved precision of the alignment techniques and the resulting impact on muon momentum resolution.

The High Luminosity upgrade of the CERN LHC collider (HL-LHC) demands for a new, highradiation tolerant solid-state pixel sensor capable of surviving fluencies up to a few 10 16 n eq /cm 2 at ∼ 3 cm from the interaction point.To this extent the INFN ATLAS-CMS joint research activity, in collaboration with Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK), is aiming at the development of thin n-in-p type pixel sensors for the HL-LHC.The R&D covers both planar and single-sided 3D columnar pixel devices made with the Si-Si Direct Wafer Bonding technique, which allows for the production of sensors with 100 µm and 130 µm active thickness for planar sensors, and 130 µm for 3D sensors, the thinnest ones ever produced so far.Prototypes of hybrid modules, bumpbonded to the RD53A readout chip, have been tested on beam.First results on their performance before and after irradiation are presented.
