The branching fraction for the decays of gluinos to third generation quarks is expected to be enhanced in classes of supersymmetric
models where either third generation squarks are lighter than other squarks, or in mixed-higgsino dark matter models constructed
so as to be in concordance with the measured density of cold dark matter. In such scenarios, gluino production events at the
CERN Large Hadron Collider should be rich in top and bottom quark jets. Requiring b jets in addition to E
T
miss should, therefore, enhance the supersymmetry signal relative to Standard Model backgrounds from V + jet, VV and QCD backgrounds (V=W,Z). We quantify the increase in the supersymmetry reach of the LHC from b-tagging in a variety of well-motivated models of supersymmetry. We also explore “top tagging” at the LHC. We find that while
the efficiency for this turns out to be too low to give an increase in reach beyond that obtained via b-tagging, top tagging can indeed provide a confirmatory signal if gluinos are not too heavy. We also examine c jet tagging but find that it is not useful at the LHC. Finally, we explore the prospects for detecting the direct production
of third generation squarks in models with an inverted squark mass hierarchy. This is signaled by b jets + E
T
miss events being harder than in the Standard Model, but softer than those from the production of gluinos and heavier squarks.
We find that while these events can be readily separated from the SM background (for third generation squark masses ∼300–500 GeV),
the contamination from the much heavier gluinos and squarks remains formidable if these are also accessible. 相似文献

Several new physics scenarios can lead to monojet signatures at the LHC. If such events are observed above the Standard Model background it will be important to identify their origin. In this Letter we compare and contrast these signatures as produced in two very different pictures: vector or scalar unparticle production in the scale-invariant/conformal regime and graviton emission in the Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos and Dvali extra-dimensional model. We demonstrate that these two scenarios can be distinguished at the LHC for a reasonable range of model parameters through the shape of their respective monojet and/or missing ET distributions. 相似文献

We present a study of the LHC sensitivity to the W boson mass based on simulation studies. We find that both experimental and phenomenological sources of systematic uncertainties

We present detailed calculations of the missing energy and jet signatures for squark and gluino pair-production at the CERN collider, incorporating three improvements over previous analyses. These include smearing in transverse momentum at production, the fragmentation of supersymmetric partons into supersymmetric hadrons, and the hadronization of their decay products as well as of the residual jets. We find that previous estimates of supersymmetric signatures are not substantially altered by the inclusion of smearing and fragmentation. We present rapidity and transverse momentum distributions for both primary and secondary jets, and discuss variations in the trigger conditions which could increase the number of two-jet events and help discriminate between different models for the monojet events. We find that gluinos give fatter jets than do squarks of the same mass, although it is not easy to understand the thinness of the observed monojets if they are due to squarks of mass O(40) GeV. We emphasize that the key feature to clarify the supersymmetric interpretation of missing pT events is the study of secondary jet production in mono- and dijet events. 相似文献

We present a ‘new generation’ model for high energy proton–proton ‘soft’ interactions. It allows for a full set of multipomeron
vertices as well as for including multichannel eikonal scattering. It describes the behaviour of the proton–proton total,
σtot, and elastic, dσel/dt, cross sections together with those for low- and high-mass proton dissociation. Although the model contains a comprehensive
set of multipomeron diagrams, it has a simple partonic interpretation. Including the more complicated multipomeron vertices
reduces the absorptive effects as compared to the predictions in which only the triple-pomeron vertex is considered. Tuning
the model to describe the available ‘soft’ data in the CERN ISR–tevatron energy range, we predict the total, elastic, single-
and double-diffractive dissociation cross sections at the LHC energy. An inescapable consequence of including multichannel
eikonal and multipomeron effects is that the total cross section is expected to be lower than before: indeed, we find σtot≃ 90 mb at the LHC energy. We also present differential forms of the cross sections. In addition, we calculate soft diffractive
central production. 相似文献

We report on a plan to establish a ‘Dictionary of LHC Signatures’, an initiative that started at the WHEPP-X workshop in Chennai,
January 2008. This study aims at the strategy of distinguishing 3 classes of dark matter motivated scenarios such as R-parity conserved supersymmetry, little Higgs models with T-parity conservation and universal extra dimensions with KK-parity for generic cases of their realization in a wide range
of the model space. Discriminating signatures are tabulated and will need a further detailed analysis.

The CERN LHC collider will operate with lead ions at √s of 5.5 TeV/nucleon. The ATLAS detector, designed to study high-pT physics in the pp mode of the LHC, has the potential to study ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions in a full range of observables characterized
extremely dense matter and the formation of a quark-gluon plasma. The ATLAS physics program includes global event measurements
(particle multiplicities, transverse momentum), suppression of heavy-quarkonia production, jet quenching, and a study of ultraperipheral
collisions.

We study the implications of LHC searches on SUSY particle spectra using flat scans of the 19-parameter pMSSM phase space.
We apply constraints from flavour physics, g
μ
−2, dark matter and earlier LEP and Tevatron searches. The sensitivity of the LHC SUSY searches with jets, leptons and missing
energy is assessed by reproducing with fast simulation the recent CMS analyses after validation on benchmark points. We present
results in terms of the fraction of pMSSM points compatible with all the constraints which are excluded by the LHC searches
with 1 fb−1 and 15 fb−1 as a function of the mass of strongly and weakly interacting SUSY particles. We also discuss the suppression of Higgs production
cross sections for the MSSM points not excluded and contrast the region of parameter space tested by the LHC data with the
constraints from dark matter direct detection experiments. 相似文献

In this paper, we study the observability of an invisible Higgs boson at Fermilab Tevatron and CERN LHC through the production
channel qq̄→ZH→ℓ+ℓ-+P/T, where/PT is reconstructed from the ℓ+ℓ- with ℓ=e or μ. A new strategy is proposed to eliminate the largest irreducible background, namely qq̄→Z(→ℓ+ℓ-)Z(→νν̄). This strategy utilizes the precise measurements of qq̄→Z(→ℓ+ℓ-)Z(→ℓ+ℓ-). For mH=120 GeV and with luminosity 30 fb-1 at Tevatron, a 5σ observation of the invisible Higgs boson is possible. For mH=114∼140 GeV with only 10 fb-1 luminosity at LHC, a discovery signal over 5σ can be achieved.

In unparticle dark matter (unmatter) models, the equation of state of the unmatter is given by p=ρ/(2d
U+1), where d
U is the scaling factor. Unmatter with such equations of state would have a significant impact on the history of the expansion
of the universe. Using type Ia supernovae (SNIa), the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements and the shift parameter
of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) to place constraints on such unmatter models, we find that if only the SNIa data
are used, the constraints are weak. However, with the BAO and CMB shift parameter data added, strong constraints can be obtained.
For the ΛUDM model, in which unmatter is the sole dark matter, we find that d
U>60 at 95% C.L. For comparison, in most unparticle physics models it is assumed that d
U<2. For the ΛCUDM model, in which unmatter co-exists with cold dark matter, we found that the unmatter can at most make up
a few percent of the total cosmic density if d
U<10; thus it cannot be the major component of dark matter. 相似文献

We consider the effect of Coulomb interactions on the average density of states (DOS) of disordered low-dimensional metals
for temperatures T and frequencies ω smaller than the inverse elastic life-time 1/τ. Using the fact that long-range Coulomb interactions in two dimensions (2d) generate ln2-singularities in the DOS ν(ω) but only ln-singularities in the conductivity σ(ω), we can re-sum the most singular contributions
to the average DOS via a simple gauge-transformation. If σ(ω) > 0, then a metallic Coulomb gapν(ω) ∝ |ω|/e
4 appears in the DOS at T = 0 for frequencies below a certain crossover frequency Ω
2 which depends on the value of the DC conductivity σ(0). Here, - e is the charge of the electron. Naively adopting the same procedure to calculate the DOS in quasi 1d metals, we find ν(ω) ∝ (|ω|/Ω
1)1/2exp(- Ω
1/|ω|) at T = 0, where Ω
1 is some interaction-dependent frequency scale. However, we argue that in quasi 1d the above gauge-transformation method is on less firm grounds than in 2d. We also discuss the behavior of the DOS at finite temperatures and give numerical results for the expected tunneling conductance
that can be compared with experiments.

The beta beam CERN design is based on the present LHC injection complex and its physics reach is mainly limited by the maximum
rigidity of the SPS. In fact, some of the scenarios for the machine upgrades of the LHC, particularly the construction of
a fast cycling 1 TeV injector (“Super-SPS”), are very synergic with the construction of a higher γ beta beam. At the energies
that can be reached by this machine, we demonstrate that dense calorimeters can already be used for the detection of ν at
the far location. Even at moderate masses (40 kton) as the ones imposed by the use of existing underground halls at Gran Sasso,
the CP reach is very large for any value of θ13 that would provide evidence of νe appearance at T2K or NOνA (θ13≥3°). Exploitation of matter effects at the CERN to Gran Sasso distance provides sensitivity to the neutrino mass hierarchy
in significant areas of the θ13-δ plane.

The average particle multiplicity density dN
ch/dη is the dynamical quantity that reflects some regularities of particle production in the low-p
T
range. The quantity is an important ingredient of z scaling. Experimental results on charged particle density are available for pp, pA, and AA collisions, while experimental properties of the jet density are still an open question. The goal of this work is to find
the variable that will reflect the main features of the jet production in a low transverse energy range and play the role
of the scale factor for the scaling function ψ(z) and variable z in data z-presentation. The appropriate candidate is the variable we called “scaled jet energy density.” The scaled jet energy density
is the probability of having a jet with defined E
T
in defined x
T
and pseudorapidity regions. The PYTHIA6.2 Monte Carlo generator is used for calculation of the scaled jet energy density
in proton-proton collisions over a high energy range
and at η = 0. The properties of the new variable are discussed and sensitivity to “physical scenarios” applied in the standard
Monte Carlo generator is noted. The results of the calculations of scaled jet energy density at LHC energies are presented
and compared with predictions based on z scaling.

The dark matter sector may be more complicated than anticipated. An inelastically scattering dark matter with a mass splitting above one MeV will make direct detection experiments hopeless, and render LHC the primary chance for discovery. We perform a model-independent study of inelastic dark matter at the LHC, concentrating on the parameter space with the mass splitting between the excited and ground states of dark matter above a few hundred MeV. The generic signatures of inelastic dark matter at the LHC are displaced pions together with a monojet plus missing energy, and can be tested at the 7 TeV LHC. 相似文献

We investigate the corrections of the “littlest” Higgs (LH) model and the SU(3) simple group model to single top production at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We find that the new gauge bosons WH
± predicted by the LH model can generate significant contributions to single top production via the s-channel process. The correction terms for the tree-level Wqq’ couplings coming from the SU(3) simple group model can give large contributions to the cross sections of the t-channel single top production process. We expect that the effects of the LH model and the SU(3) simple group model on single top production can be detected at the LHC experiments. 相似文献

Hadronic antenna patterns provide a tool able to diagnose different patterns of colour flow in large-E T jet events. They reflect the underlying short-distance dynamics, and are sensitive to colour coherence and interference between the initial- and final-state partons. We discuss how hadronic antenna patterns may be used on large-E T events from the Fermilab Tevatron or the CERN LHC to distinguish between conventional QCD and new physics production mechanisms such as a possible Z′ boson or compositeness. 相似文献

In split supersymmetry, gauginos and Higgsinos are the only supersymmetric particles that are potentially accessible at soon-to-be-completed
colliders. While direct experimental research, such as the LEP and Tevatron experiments, have given robust lower bounds on
the masses of these particles, cosmic dark matter can give some upper bounds and thus have important implications for research
at future colliders. In this work we scrutinize such dark matter constraints and show the allowed mass range for charginos
and neutralinos (the mass eigenstates of gauginos and Higgsinos). We find that the lightest chargino must be lighter than
about 1 TeV under the popular assumption M1=M2/2 and about 2 or 3 TeV in other cases. The corresponding production rates of the lightest chargino at the CERN large hadron
collider (LHC) and the International Linear Collider (ILC) are also given. While in some parts of the allowed region the chargino
pair production rate can be larger than 1 pb at the LHC and 100 fb at the ILC, other parts of the region correspond to very
small production rates, and thus there is no guarantee of finding the charginos of split supersymmetry at future colliders.

per nucleon pair are analyzed in the frameworks of PYQUEN jet quenching model. The presented studies for the nuclear modification
factor of high-p

hadrons and the imbalance in dijet transverse energy support the supposition that the intensive wide-angular (“out-of-cone”)
