Gravitational Leptogenesis, Reheating, and Models of Neutrino Mass

Peter Adshead, Andrew J. Long, Evangelos I. Sfakianakis

Gravitational leptogenesis refers to a class of baryogenesis models in which the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe arises through the standard model lepton-number gravita…

Towards New Frontiers with Decays

Robert Fleischer, Ruben Jaarsma, K. Keri Vos

Exploring correlations between the CP asymmetries of following from an isospin relation, we uncover new tensions with the Standard Model in data for neutral…

Asymmetric dark matter: residual annihilations and self-interactions

Iason Baldes, Marco Cirelli, Paolo Panci +3

Dark matter (DM) coupled to light mediators has been invoked to resolve the putative discrepancies between collisionless cold DM and galactic structure observations. However, -r…

Illuminating the photon content of the proton within a global PDF analysis

Valerio Bertone, Stefano Carrazza, Nathan P. Hartland +1

Precision phenomenology at the LHC requires accounting for both higher-order QCD and electroweak corrections as well as for photon-initiated subprocesses. Building upon the recent…

Rare top quark decays at a 100 TeV proton-proton collider: and

Andreas Papaefstathiou, Gilberto Tetlalmatzi-Xolocotzi

We investigate extremely rare top quark decays at a future proton-proton collider with centre-of-mass energy of 100 TeV. We focus on two decay modes: radiative decay with a bos…

The Higgs Boson can delay Reheating after Inflation

Katherine Freese, Evangelos I. Sfakianakis, Patrick Stengel +1

The Standard Model Higgs boson, which has previously been shown to develop an effective vacuum expectation value during inflation, can give rise to large particle masses during inf…

Zimmermann's Forest Formula, Infrared Divergences and the QCD Beta Function

Franz Herzog

We review Zimmermann's forest formula, which solves Bogoliubov's recursive -operation for the subtraction of ultraviolet divergences in perturbative Quantum Field Theory. We fur…

Electroweak Baryogenesis and the Standard Model Effective Field Theory

Jordy de Vries, Marieke Postma, Jorinde van de Vis +1

We investigate electroweak baryogenesis within the framework of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory. The Standard Model Lagrangian is supplemented by dimension-six operators…

Infrared singularities of QCD scattering amplitudes in the Regge limit to all orders

Simon Caron-Huot, Einan Gardi, Joscha Reichel +1

Scattering amplitudes of partons in QCD contain infrared divergences which can be resummed to all orders in terms of an anomalous dimension. Independently, in the limit of high-ene…

Heavy-flavor parton distributions without heavy-flavor matching prescriptions

Valerio Bertone, Alexandre Glazov, Alexander Mitov +2

We show that the well-known obstacle for working with the zero-mass variable flavor number scheme, namely, the omission of O(1) mass power corrections close to the conventional hea…

Unitarity and predictiveness in new Higgs inflation

Jacopo Fumagalli, Sander Mooij, Marieke Postma

In new Higgs inflation the Higgs kinetic terms are non-minimally coupled to the Einstein tensor, allowing the Higgs field to play the role of the inflaton. The new interaction is n…

Parton distributions and lattice QCD calculations: a community white paper

Huey-Wen Lin, Emanuele R. Nocera, Fred Olness +29

In the framework of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), parton distribution functions (PDFs) quantify how the momentum and spin of a hadron are divided among its quark and gluon constitu…

CP tests of Higgs couplings in semileptonic events at the LHC

D. Azevedo, A. Onofre, F. Filthaut +1

The CP nature of the Higgs coupling to top quarks is addressed in this paper, in single charged lepton final states of events produced in proton-proton collisions at th…

Large NLO corrections in and hadroproduction from supposedly subleading EW contributions

Rikkert Frederix, Davide Pagani, Marco Zaro

We calculate the complete-NLO predictions for and production in proton--proton collisions at 13 and 100 TeV. All the non-vanishing contribution…

Anomalous neutral gauge boson interactions and simplified models

Tyler Corbett, Matthew J. Dolan, Christoph Englert +1

Trilinear boson interactions are sensitive probes both of new sources of violation in physics Beyond the Standard Model and of new particle thresholds. Measurements of tri…

Parton distributions with small-x resummation: evidence for BFKL dynamics in HERA data

Richard D. Ball, Valerio Bertone, Marco Bonvini +3

We present a determination of the parton distribution functions of the proton in which NLO and NNLO fixed-order calculations are supplemented by NLLx small-x resummation. Deep inel…

Positivity bounds on gluon TMDs for hadrons of spin 1

Sabrina Cotogno, Tom van Daal, Piet J. Mulders

We consider the transverse momentum dependent gluon distribution functions (called gluon TMDs) by studying the light-front gluon-gluon correlator, extending the results for unpolar…

Colour unwound - disentangling colours for azimuthal asymmetries in Drell-Yan scattering

Daniël Boer, Tom van Daal, Jonathan R. Gaunt +2

It has been suggested that a colour-entanglement effect exists in the Drell-Yan cross section for the 'double T-odd' contributions at low transverse momentum , rendering the c…
