 Small pitch pixel sensors\\ for the CMS Phase II upgrade / Steinbrueck, Georg (Hamburg U.) /CMS Collaboration The CMS experiment intends to exchange the pixel detector for the high luminosity phase of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). Therefore, a large R\&D; effort has been started in order to develop sensors capable of withstanding the expected extremely high radiation damage. The targeted integrated luminosity of 3000 fb$^{-1}$, estimated for 10 years of operation at the design center-of-mass energy of 14 TeV, translates into an equivalent NIEL (Non-Ionizing Energy Loss) of 2$\times{10}^{16}$ neq cm$^{-2}$ and an IEL (Ionizing Energy Loss) dose in the SiO$_{2}$ of 5 MGy at the expected position of the innermost pixel detector layer.

 CMS overview / Hong, Byungsik (Korea U.) /CMS Collaboration Most recent CMS data related to the high-density QCD are presented for pp and PbPb collisions at 2.76 TeV and pPb collisions at 5.02 TeV. The PbPb collision is essential to understand collective behavior and the final-state effects for the detailed characteristics of hot, dense partonic matter, whereas the pPb collision provides the critical information on the initial-state effects including the modification of the parton distribution function in cold nuclei.

 Flow and correlations results from CMS / Devetak, Damir (VINCA Inst. Nucl. Sci., Belgrade) /CMS Collaboration The observation of long-range two-particle correlations in high energy heavy ion collisions opens the opportunities of exploring novel QCD dynamics in quark gluon plasma (QGP), the hot dense matter created in heavy ion collisions. In particular, such correlations are sensitive to the degree of thermalization in the system. [...] CMS-CR-2015-209.- Geneva : CERN, 2015 - 8 p.

 B Physics and Quarkonia at CMS / Wulz, Claudia (Vienna, OAW) /CMS Collaboration Selected recent results on B physics and quarkonia are presented. These include a determination of the CP-violating phase $\phi_s$ and the decay width difference $\Delta\Gamma_s$ of the light and heavy B$_s$ states with B$_s \rightarrow$ J$/\psi~\Phi$(1020), prompt double-differential production cross sections of J$/\psi$ and $\psi$(2S), and polarization measurements for J/$\psi$, $\psi$(2S), $\Upsilon$(1S), $\Upsilon$(2S), and $\Upsilon$(3S).
