The R_AA and v_2 of muons from heavy-quark decays in Pb+Pb collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=2.76 TeV with the ATLAS detector

Alexander Milov

The ATLAS experiment measures the production of muons coming from the decays of heavy flavour particles in the kinematic interval 4<p_T<14 GeV and |eta|<1. The measurement is perfo…

On four dimensional N=3 superconformal theories

Ofer Aharony, Mikhail Evtikhiev

In this note we study four dimensional theories with N=3 superconformal symmetry, that do not also have N=4 supersymmetry. No examples of such theories are known, but their existen…

CP Violation Tests of Alignment Models at LHCII

Diptimoy Ghosh, Paride Paradisi, Gilad Perez +1

We analyse the low-energy phenomenology of alignment models both model-independently and within supersymmetric (SUSY) scenarios focusing on their CP violation tests at LHCII. Assum…

Multi-Player Bandits -- a Musical Chairs Approach

Jonathan Rosenski, Ohad Shamir, Liran Szlak

We consider a variant of the stochastic multi-armed bandit problem, where multiple players simultaneously choose from the same set of arms and may collide, receiving no reward. Thi…
