We estimate the amount of collective “elliptic flow” expected at mid-rapidity in proton–proton (p–p) collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), assuming that any possible azimuthal anisotropy of the produced hadrons with respect to the plane of the reaction follows the same overlap-eccentricity and particle-density scalings as found in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Using a Glauber eikonal model, we compute the p–p eccentricities, transverse areas and particle multiplicities for various phenomenological parameterisations of the proton spatial density. For realistic proton transverse profiles, we find integrated elliptic-flow v 2 parameters below 3% in p–p collisions at $\sqrt{s}=14$ TeV. 相似文献

ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is the LHC detector designed to measure nucleus-nucleus (AA) collisions where the formation of the Quark Gluon Plasma is expected. The experiment will also study proton-proton (pp) collisions at 14 TeV. Amongst the relevant observables to be investigated in pp collisions, the B-hadron cross-section is particularly interesting since it provides benchmarks for theoretical models and it is mandatory
for understanding heavy flavour production in AA collisions. The performances of the ALICE muon spectrometer to measure B-hadron cross-section in pp collisions at 14 TeV via single muons are presented. 相似文献

We present simulation results of γ+jet analysis using CMS (compact muon solenoid) object-oriented software at the large hadron
collider (LHC) center of mass energy = 14 TeV. The study of direct photon production helps in validating the perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD) and providing
information on the gluon distribution in the nucleons. Direct photon processes also constitute a major background to several
other standard model (SM) processes and signals of new physics. Thus these processes need to be understood precisely in the
new energy regime. In this work, we have done a detailed study of the GEANT4 simulated γ+jet events generated with Pythia,
and the related background processes. Isolation cuts have been optimized for direct photon which improves the signal over
background ratio by ∼25% as compared to previous studies done in CMS. The inclusion of a large Δφ cut between the photon and
the leading jet at 40° in the analysis leads to a further increase of ∼15% in S/B, thus giving an overall gain of ∼42% in
S/B ratio. 相似文献

This review summarises the main results on the production of single vector bosons in the Standard Model, both inclusively and in association with light- and heavy-flavour jets, at the Large Hadron Collider in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of \(7\,{\mathrm {\ TeV}}\) . The general purpose detectors at this collider, ATLAS and CMS, each recorded an integrated luminosity of \({\approx } 40\,\mathrm{pb^{-1}}\) and \(5\,\mathrm{fb^{-1}}\) in the years 2010 and 2011, respectively. The corresponding data offer the unique possibility to precisely study the properties of the production of heavy vector bosons in a new energy regime. The accurate understanding of the Standard Model is not only crucial for searches of unknown particles and phenomena but also to test predictions of perturbative Quantum-Chromodynamics calculations and for precision measurements of observables in the electroweak sector. Results from a variety of measurements in which single \(W\) or \(Z\) bosons are identified are reviewed. Special emphasis in this review is given to interpretations of the experimental results in the context of state-of-the-art predictions. 相似文献

Successful models of pure gravity mediation (PGM) with radiative electroweak symmetry breaking can be expressed with as few as two free parameters, which can be taken as the gravitino mass and \(\tan \beta \) . These models easily support a 125–126 GeV Higgs mass at the expense of a scalar spectrum in the multi-TeV range and a much lighter wino as the lightest supersymmetric particle. In these models, it is also quite generic that the Higgs mixing mass parameter, \(\mu \) , which is determined by the minimization of the Higgs potential is also in the multi-TeV range. For \(\mu >0\) , the thermal relic density of winos is too small to account for the dark matter. The same is true for \(\mu <0\) unless the gravitino mass is of order 500 TeV. Here, we consider the origin of a multi-TeV \(\mu \) parameter arising from the breakdown of a Peccei–Quinn (PQ) symmetry. A coupling of the PQ-symmetry breaking field, \(P\) , to the MSSM Higgs doublets, naturally leads to a value of \(\mu \sim \langle P \rangle ^2 /M_P \sim {\mathcal O}(100)\) TeV and of the order that is required in PGM models. In this case, axions make up the dark matter or some fraction of the dark matter with the remainder made up from thermal or non-thermal winos. We also provide solutions to the problem of isocurvature fluctuations with axion dark matter in this context. 相似文献

The angular distributions of muons from Υ(1S,2S,3S) → μ+ μ- decays are measured using data from pp collisions at sqrt[s] = 1.96 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6.7 fb(-1) and collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. This analysis is the first to report the full angular distributions as functions of transverse momentum p(T) for Υ mesons in both the Collins-Soper and s-channel helicity frames. This is also the first measurement of the spin alignment of Υ(3S) mesons. Within the kinematic range of Υ rapidity |y|<0.6 and p(T) up to 40 GeV/c, the angular distributions are found to be nearly isotropic. 相似文献

Measurements of dijet azimuthal decorrelations in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV using the CMS detector at the CERN LHC are presented. The analysis is based on an inclusive dijet event sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.9 pb?1. The results are compared to predictions from perturbative QCD calculations and various Monte Carlo event generators. The dijet azimuthal distributions are found to be sensitive to initial-state gluon radiation. 相似文献

We study the transverse momentum spectra of identified pions (π– + π+), kaons ((K – + K +), K 0 s ), protons (p + p?) and lambda hyperons (Λ + Λ?) produced at mid-rapidity (0 < y cm < 0.5) in most central (0?5)% p–Pb collisions at \(\sqrt {s_{NN} }\) = 5.02 TeV in comparison with a Unified Statistical Thermal Freeze-out Model (USTFM). The measurements for pions are reported upto p T = 3 GeV, the kaons (K – + K +) are reported upto p T = 2.5 GeV, K 0 s is reported upto p T = 7 GeV, and the baryons (protons and lambda hyperons) are reported upto p T = 3.5 GeV. A good agreement is seen between the calculated results and the experimental data points taken from the ALICE experiment. The transverse momentum spectra are found to be flatter for heavy particles than for light particles. Bulk freeze-out properties in terms of kinetic freeze-out temperature and the transverse collective flow velocity are extracted from the fits of the transverse momentum spectra of these hadrons. The effect of resonance decay contributions has also been taken care of. 相似文献

Heavy-flavor semileptonic decays are expected to dominate the spectrum of non-photonic electrons produced from collisions
at the energies of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The non-photonic electron yield is suppressed by approximately a factor
of 5 in central Au + Au events at
GeV relative to p+p events with the same collision energy. Most theoretical models predict less non-photonic-electron suppression than is observed
experimentally. We present a preliminary measurement of the yield of non-photonic electrons in Cu + Cu events at
GeV, as well as the nuclear modification factor. 相似文献

One of the most striking results is the large elliptic flow (v
2) at RHIC. Detailed mass and transverse momentum dependence of elliptic flow are well described by ideal hydrodynamic calculations
for p
T<1 GeV/c, and by parton coalescence/recombination picture for p
T=2–6 GeV/c. The systematic error on v
2 is dominated by so-called “non-flow effects”, which are correlations other than flow, such as resonance decays and jets.
It is crucial to understand and reduce the systematic error from non-flow effects in order to understand the underlying collision
dynamics. In this paper, we present the centrality dependence of v
2 with respect to the first harmonic event plane at ZDC-SMD (v
2{ZDC-SMD}) in Au + Au collisions at
GeV. A large rapidity gap (|Δη|>6) between midrapidity and the ZDC-SMD could enable us to minimize possible non-flow contributions. We compare the results
of v
2{ZDC-SMD} with v
2{BBC}, which is measured by event plane determined at |η|=3.1–3.9. Possible non-flow contributions in those results will be discussed. 相似文献

A search for charginos and neutralinos, predicted by supersymmetric theories, has been performed using a data sample of 57
pb at centre-of-mass energies of 181–184 GeV taken with the OPAL detector at LEP. No evidence for chargino or neutralino production
has been found. Upper limits on chargino and neutralino pair production (, ) cross-sections are obtained as a function of the chargino mass (), the lightest neutralino mass () and the second lightest neutralino mass (). For large chargino masses the limits have been improved with respect to the previous analyses at lower centre-of-mass energies.
Exclusion regions at 95% confidence level (C.L.) of parameters of the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model are
determined for the case of a large universal scalar mass, , implying heavy scalar fermions, and for the case of a small resulting in light scalar fermions and giving the worst-case limits. Within this framework and for GeV the 95% C.L. lower limits on for GeV are 90.0 and 90.2 GeV for and 35 respectively. These limits for all (the worst-case) are 69.1 and 65.2 GeV for and 35 respectively. Exclusion regions are also presented for neutralino masses, including an absolute lower limit at 95%
C.L. for the mass of the lightest neutralino of 30.1 GeV for GeV (24.2 GeV for all ), with implications for experimental searches for the lightest neutralino as a dark matter candidate.

Dijet angular distributions are measured over a wide range of dijet invariant masses in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV, at the CERN LHC. The event sample, recorded with the CMS detector, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb?1. The data are found to be in good agreement with the predictions of perturbative QCD, and yield no evidence of quark compositeness. With a modified frequentist approach, a lower limit on the contact interaction scale for left-handed quarks of Λ? = 5.6 TeV (Λ? = 6.7 TeV) for destructive (constructive) interference is obtained at the 95% confidence level. 相似文献

We study boundary conditions in ${\mathcal{N}}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory that preserve one-half the supersymmetry. The obvious Dirichlet boundary conditions can be modified to allow some of the scalar fields to have a “pole” at the boundary. The obvious Neumann boundary conditions can be modified by coupling to additional fields supported at the boundary. The obvious boundary conditions associated with orientifolds can also be generalized. In preparation for a separate study of how electric-magnetic duality acts on these boundary conditions, we explore moduli spaces of solutions of Nahm’s equations that appear in the presence of a boundary. Though our main interest is in boundary conditions that are Lorentz-invariant (to the extent possible in the presence of a boundary), we also explore non-Lorentz-invariant but half-BPS deformations of Neumann boundary conditions. We make preliminary comments on the action of electric-magnetic duality, deferring a more serious study to a later paper. 相似文献

Results are presented of an ongoing analysis of direct photon production in =200 GeV deuteron-gold collisions (d+Au) with the STAR experiment at RHIC. A significant excess of direct photons is observed
near mid-rapidity (0<y<1) and found to be consistent with next-to-leading order pQCD calculations including the contribution
from fragmentation photons.

The PHENIX experiment has measured the azimuthal anisotropy parameter v2, the second harmonic of the azimuthal distribution, for electrons at mid-rapidity (|η|<0.35) as a function of transverse
momentum (0.5<pT (GeV/c)<5.0) in Au+Au collisions at =200 GeV. From the result we have calculated the non-photonic electron v2, which is expected to reflect charm quark azimuthal anisotropy, by subtracting the v2 of electrons from other sources such as photon conversions and Dalitz decays. 相似文献
