Reinterpretation of LHC Results for New Physics: Status and Recommendations after Run 2
Waleed Abdallah, Shehu AbdusSalam, Azar Ahmadov +139
We report on the status of efforts to improve the reinterpretation of searches and measurements at the LHC in terms of models for new physics, in the context of the LHC Reinterpret…
Recent Spectroscopy Results from ZEUS
Achim Geiser
Recent results on light hadron spectroscopy are reported, with special emphasis on the evidence for a narrow baryonic state decaying to Ks p and Ks pbar, compatible with the pentaq…
A novel phenomenological approach to total charm cross-section measurements at the LHC
Yewon Yang, Achim Geiser, Sven-Olaf Moch +1
We propose a novel, data-driven method for determining total charm cross sections in proton-proton collisions by extrapolating measured fiducial cross sections without assuming any…
Data Preservation in High Energy Physics
Alexandre Arbey, Jamie Boyd, Daniel Britzger +45
Data preservation significantly increases the scientific output of high-energy physics experiments during and after data acquisition. For new and ongoing experiments, the careful c…
Recent QCD results from the xFitter project: Probing the strange content of the proton with charm production in charged current at LHeC
xFitter Developers Team, Hamed Abdolmaleki, Valerio Bertone +11
We investigate charm production in charged-current deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) using the xFitter program. xFitter is an open-source software framework for the determination of…
DIS2015 Heavy Flavours Working Group Summary
Marco Guzzi, Achim Geiser, Flera Rizatdinova
Studies presented in the heavy flavours working group are summarized. Very recent results of measurements at the HERA, LHC, Tevatron, STAR, PHENIX, and BaBar experiments are review…
A novel phenomenological approach to total charm cross section measurements at the LHC
Yewon Yang, Achim Geiser
Measuring the total charm cross section is important for the comparison to theoretical predictions of the highest precision available for charm today, which are completely known up…
Status Report of the DPHEP Study Group: Towards a Global Effort for Sustainable Data Preservation in High Energy Physics
Z. Akopov, Silvia Amerio, David Asner +87
Data from high-energy physics (HEP) experiments are collected with significant financial and human effort and are mostly unique. An inter-experimental study group on HEP data prese…
Review of Beauty Production at HERA and Elsewhere
Achim Geiser
Experimental results on beauty production at HERA are reviewed in the context of similar measurements at other colliders. As a result of a phenomenological study of the QCD scale d…
Probing the strange content of the proton with charm production in charged current at LHeC
xFitter Developers' team, :, Hamed Abdolmaleki +12
We study charm production in charged-current deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) using the xFitter framework. Recent results from the LHC have focused renewed attention on the determin…
A determination of mc(mc) from HERA data using a matched heavy-flavor scheme
xFitter Developers' team, :, Valerio Bertone +12
The charm quark mass is one of the fundamental parameters of the Standard Model Lagrangian. In this work we present a determination of the MSbar charm mass from a fit to the inclus…
Impact of heavy-flavour production cross sections measured by the LHCb experiment on parton distribution functions at low x
Oleksandr Zenaiev, Achim Geiser, Katerina Lipka +11
The impact of recent measurements of heavy-flavour production in deep inelastic scattering and in collisions on parton distribution functions is studied in a QCD analysis…
Distinction of atmospheric neutrino-mu - neutrino-tau and neutrino-mu - neutrino-sterile oscillations using short or intermediate baseline experiments
Achim Geiser
The current case for atmospheric oscillations into active or sterile neutrinos is reviewed. It is argued that neither the study of neutral current events at Super-Kamiokand…
Possible future HERA analyses
Achim Geiser
A variety of possible future analyses of HERA data in the context of the HERA data preservation programme is collected, motivated, and commented. The focus is placed on possible fu…
