Heavy octets and Tevatron signals with three or four b jets

Yang Bai, Bogdan A. Dobrescu

Hypothetical color-octet particles of spin 0, pair-produced at hadron colliders through their QCD coupling, may lead to final states involving three or four b jets. We analyze kine…

Higgs Discovery through Top-Partners using Jet Substructure

Graham D. Kribs, Adam Martin, Tuhin S. Roy

Top-partners -- vector-like quarks which mix predominantly with the top quark -- are simple extensions of the standard model present in many theories of new physics such as little…

Quirks in supersymmetry with gauge coupling unification

Stephen P. Martin

I investigate the phenomenology of supersymmetric models with extra vector-like supermultiplets that couple to the Standard Model gauge fields and transform as the fundamental repr…

Boosted objects: a probe of beyond the Standard Model physics

A. Abdesselam, E. Bergeaas Kuutmann, U. Bitenc +59

We present the report of the hadronic working group of the BOOST2010 workshop held at the University of Oxford in June 2010. The first part contains a review of the potential of ha…

Long-Distance Dominance of the CP Asymmetry in B->X_{s,d}+gamma Decays

Michael Benzke, Seung J. Lee, Matthias Neubert +1

We show that in the Standard Model the parametrically leading (by a factor 1/alpha_s) contribution to the inclusive CP asymmetry in B->X_{s,d}+gamma decays arises from a long-dista…

SUSY Renormalization Group Effects in Ultra High Energy Neutrinos

M. Bustamante, A. M. Gago, J. Jones-Perez

We have explored the question of whether the renormalization group running of the neutrino mixing parameters in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model is detectable with ultra-h…

Nuclear corrections in neutrino-nucleus DIS and their compatibility with global NPDF analyses

K. Kovarik, I. Schienbein, F. Olness +5

We perform a global chi^2-analysis of nuclear parton distribution functions using data from charged current neutrino-nucleus deep-inelastic scattering (DIS), charged-lepton-nucleus…

QCD corrections to the hadronic production of a heavy quark pair and a W-boson including decay correlations

Simon Badger, John M. Campbell, R. K. Ellis

We perform an analytic calculation of the one-loop amplitude for the W-boson mediated process 0 \to d u-bar Q Q-bar l-bar l, retaining the mass for the quark Q. The momentum of eac…

Probing the Higgs Sector of High-Scale SUSY-Breaking Models at the Tevatron

Marcela Carena, Patrick Draper, Sven Heinemeyer +3

A canonical signature of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) is the presence of a neutral Higgs boson with mass bounded from above by about 135 GeV and Standard Model…

Prospects For Identifying Dark Matter With CoGeNT

Chris Kelso, Dan Hooper

It has previously been shown that the excess of events reported by the CoGeNT collaboration could be generated by elastically scattering dark matter particles with a mass of approx…

Interpreting Dark Matter Direct Detection Independently of the Local Velocity and Density Distribution

Patrick J. Fox, Graham D. Kribs, Tim M. P. Tait

We demonstrate precisely what particle physics information can be extracted from a single direct detection observation of dark matter while making absolutely no assumptions about t…

Particle Physics Implications for CoGeNT, DAMA, and Fermi

Matthew R. Buckley, Dan Hooper, Tim M. P. Tait

Recent results from the CoGeNT collaboration (as well as the annual modulation reported by DAMA/LIBRA) point toward dark matter with a light (5-10 GeV) mass and a relatively large…

Leptophilic Dark Matter in Direct Detection Experiments and in the Sun

Joachim Kopp, Viviana Niro, Thomas Schwetz +1

Dark matter interacting predominantly with leptons instead of nuclear matter has received a lot of interest recently. In this talk, we investigate the signals expected from such 'l…

Leptogenesis at the Electroweak Scale

Boris Kayser, Gino Segre

In this note we propose a model of leptogenesis in which the scale for the mass of the necessary heavy neutral lepton is similar to the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking.

Frequentist Analysis of the Parameter Space of Minimal Supergravity

O. Buchmueller, R. Cavanaugh, D. Colling +9

We make a frequentist analysis of the parameter space of minimal supergravity (mSUGRA), in which, as well as the gaugino and scalar soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters being uni…

SUSY-Breaking Parameters from RG Invariants at the LHC

Marcela Carena, Patrick Draper, Nausheen R. Shah +1

We study Renormalization Group invariant (RGI) quantities in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model and show that they are a powerful and simple instrument for testing high scal…

Integrating Out Astrophysical Uncertainties

Patrick J. Fox, Jia Liu, Neal Weiner

Underground searches for dark matter involve a complicated interplay of particle physics, nuclear physics, atomic physics and astrophysics. We attempt to remove the uncertainties a…

A Light Scalar in Low-Scale Technicolor

Antonio Delgado, Kenneth Lane, Adam Martin

In addition to the narrow spin-one resonances , and occurring in low-scale technicolor, there will be relatively narrow scalars in the mass range 200 to 600--700 G…

Next-to-eikonal corrections to soft gluon radiation: a diagrammatic approach

Eric Laenen, Lorenzo Magnea, Gerben Stavenga +1

We consider the problem of soft gluon resummation for gauge theory amplitudes and cross sections, at next-to-eikonal order, using a Feynman diagram approach. At the amplitude level…
