Combining Resummed Higgs Predictions Across Jet Bins

Radja Boughezal, Xiaohui Liu, Frank Petriello +2

Experimental analyses often use jet binning to distinguish between different kinematic regimes and separate contributions from background processes. To accurately model theoretical…

Disentangling radiative corrections using high-mass Drell-Yan at the LHC

Radja Boughezal, Ye Li, Frank Petriello

We present a detailed numerical study of lepton-pair production via the Drell-Yan process above the Z-peak at the LHC. Our results consistently combine next-to-next-to-leading orde…

Cross Section to Multiplicity Ratios at Very High Energy

M. M. Block, L. Stodolsky

Recent data from the LHC makes it possible to examine an old speculation that at very high energy the total multiplicity and the cross section in elementary particle interactions v…

Dark Sectors and New, Light, Weakly-Coupled Particles

R. Essig, J. A. Jaros, W. Wester +86

Dark sectors, consisting of new, light, weakly-coupled particles that do not interact with the known strong, weak, or electromagnetic forces, are a particularly compelling possibil…

Impersonating the Standard Model Higgs Boson: Alignment without Decoupling

Marcela Carena, Ian Low, Nausheen R. Shah +1

In models with an extended Higgs sector there exists an alignment limit, in which the lightest CP-even Higgs boson mimics the Standard Model Higgs. The alignment limit is commonly…

Determination of the top quark mass circa 2013: methods, subtleties, perspectives

Aurelio Juste, Sonny Mantry, Alexander Mitov +5

We present an up-to-date overview of the problem of top quark mass determination. We assess the need for precision in the top mass extraction in the LHC era together with the main…

Extracting Effective Higgs Couplings in the Golden Channel

Yi Chen, Roberto Vega-Morales

Kinematic distributions in Higgs decays to four charged leptons, the so called `golden channel, are a powerful probe of the tensor structure of its couplings to neutral electroweak…

Opportunities in Neutrino Theory -- a Snowmass White Paper

Andre de Gouvea, Alexander Friedland, Patrick Huber +1

Neutrino masses are clear evidence for physics beyond the standard model and much more remains to be understood about the neutrino sector. We highlight some of the outstanding ques…

Precision Higgs Measurements: Constraints from New Oblique Corrections

Stefania Gori, Ian Low

New particles entering into self-energies of the Higgs boson would necessarily modify loop-induced couplings of the Higgs, if the new particle carries standard model gauge quantum…

Flavored Dark Matter: A Review

Jennifer Kile

The current status of flavored dark matter is reviewed. We discuss the main experimental constraints on models of flavored dark matter and survey some possible considerations which…

Measuring the Mass of Dark Matter at the LHC

Andrew C. Kobach

Many methods have been developed for measuring the mass of invisible particles that only use kinematic information available at hadron colliders. Because a particle is identified b…

The 1-Jettiness event shape for DIS with NNLL resummation

Zhong-Bo Kang, Xiaohui Liu, Sonny Mantry +1

We propose the use of 1-jettiness, a global event shape, for exclusive single jet production in lepton-nucleus deep inelastic scattering (DIS). We derive a factorization formula, u…

Higgs boson decays to quarkonia and the Hccbar coupling

Geoffrey T. Bodwin, Frank Petriello, Stoyan Stoynev +1

In this paper we discuss decays of the Higgs boson to quarkonia in association with a photon. We identify a new mechanism for producing such final states in Higgs decays that leads…

Dark Matter and Vector-like Leptons From Gauged Lepton Number

Pedro Schwaller, Tim M. P. Tait, Roberto Vega-Morales

We investigate a simple model where Lepton number is promoted to a local gauge symmetry which is then spontaneously broken, leading to a viable thermal DM candidate and ve…

Reducing theoretical uncertainties for exclusive Higgs plus one-jet production at the LHC

Xiaohui Liu, Frank Petriello

We resum a class of large Sudakov logarithms affecting Higgs boson production in the exclusive one-jet bin at the LHC. We extend previous results by calculating the full one-loop s…
