Determining the proton content with a quantum computer

Adrián Pérez-Salinas, Juan Cruz-Martinez, Abdulla A. Alhajri +1

We present a first attempt to design a quantum circuit for the determination of the parton content of the proton through the estimation of parton distribution functions (PDFs), in…

Phenomenology of combined resummation for Higgs and Drell--Yan

Tanjona R. Rabemananjara

We study the phenomenological impact of a recently suggested formalism for the combination of threshold and a so-called threshold-improved transverse momentum resummation, by using…

Towards Machine Learning Analytics for Jet Substructure

Gregor Kasieczka, Simone Marzani, Gregory Soyez +1

The past few years have seen a rapid development of machine-learning algorithms. While surely augmenting performance, these complex tools are often treated as black-boxes and may i…

Can parton distributions be negative?

Alessandro Candido, Stefano Forte, Felix Hekhorn

It is common lore that Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) in the factorization scheme can become negative beyond leading order due to the collinear subtrac…

Precise predictions for boosted Higgs production

K. Becker, F. Caola, A. Massironi +20

Inclusive Higgs boson production at large transverse momentum is induced by different production channels. We focus on the leading production through gluon fusion, and perform a co…
