Tachyonic quench in a free bosonic field theory

Sebastian Montes, Javier Rodríguez-Laguna, Germán Sierra

We present a characterization of a bosonic field theory driven by a free (Gaussian) tachyonic Hamiltonian. This regime is obtained from a theory describing two coupled bosonic fiel…

The twelve-flavor -function and dilaton tests of the sextet scalar

Zoltan Fodor, Kieran Holland, Julius Kuti +2

We discuss near-conformal gauge theories beyond the standard model (BSM) where interesting results on the twelve-flavor -function of massless fermions in the fundamental represe…

Membrane paradigm and RG flows for anomalous holographic theories

Christian Copetti, Jorge Fernández-Pendás

Holographic RG flows can be better understood with the help of radially conserved charges. It was shown by various authors that the bulk gauge and diffeomorphism symmetries lead to…

Mirror symmetry with branes by equivariant Verlinde formulae

Tamas Hausel, Anton Mellit, Du Pei

We find an agreement of equivariant indices of semi-classical homomorphisms between pairwise mirror branes in the GL(2) Higgs moduli space on a Riemann surface. On one side we have…

Precise prediction for the Higgs-Boson Masses in the SSM

T. Biekötter, S. Heinemeyer, C. Muñoz

The SSM is a simple supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (SM) capable of predicting neutrino physics in agreement with experiment. In this paper we perform the comple…

Symplectic formulation of the type IIA nongeometric scalar potential

Xin Gao, Pramod Shukla, Rui Sun

We study the four-dimensional (4D) scalar potential arising from a generalized type IIA flux superpotential including the (non-)geometric fluxes. First, we show that using a set of…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Calibration of redMaGiC Redshift Distributions in DES and SDSS from Cross-Correlations

R. Cawthon, C. Davis, M. Gatti +88

We present calibrations of the redshift distributions of redMaGiC galaxies in the Dark Energy Survey Year 1 (DES Y1) and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR8 data. These results det…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: galaxy mock catalogues for BAO

S. Avila, M. Crocce, A. J. Ross +51

Mock catalogues are a crucial tool in the analysis of galaxy surveys data, both for the accurate computation of covariance matrices, and for the optimisation of analysis methodolog…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Galaxy Sample for BAO Measurement

M. Crocce, A. J. Ross, I. Sevilla-Noarbe +84

We define and characterise a sample of 1.3 million galaxies extracted from the first year of Dark Energy Survey data, optimised to measure Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in the prese…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Measurement of the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation scale in the distribution of galaxies to redshift 1

The Dark Energy Survey Collaboration, T. M. C. Abbott, F. B. Abdalla +109

We present angular diameter distance measurements obtained by locating the BAO scale in the distribution of galaxies selected from the first year of Dark Energy Survey data. We con…

Five Experimental Tests on the 5-Qubit IBM Quantum Computer

Diego García-Martín, Germán Sierra

The 5-qubit quantum computer prototypes that IBM has given open access to on the cloud allow the implementation of real experiments on a quantum processor. We present the results o…

Reduction of the Parameters in MSSM

S. Heinemeyer, M. Mondragon, N. Tracas +1

In the present work we search for renormalization group invariant relations among the various massless and massive parameters of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We find…

Infrared Divergences and Quantum Coherence

Cesar Gomez, Raoul Letschka, Sebastian Zell

In theories with long-range forces like QED or perturbative gravity, only rates that include emitted soft radiation are non-vanishing. Independently of detector resolution, finite…

Pomeron Physics at the LHC

Federico Deganutti, David Gordo Gomez, Timothy Raben +1

We present current and ongoing research aimed at identifying Pomeron effects at the LHC in both the weak and strongly coupled regimes of QCD.

Non-leptonic kaon decays at large

Andrea Donini, Pilar Hernandez, Carlos Pena +1

We study the scaling with the number of colors of the weak amplitudes mediating kaon mixing and decay, in the limit of light charm masses (). The amplitudes…

A tmQCD mixed-action approach to flavour physics

Gregorio Herdoíza, Carlos Pena, David Preti +2

We discuss a mixed-action approach in which sea quarks are regularised using non-perturbatively improved Wilson fermions, while a fully-twisted tmQCD action is used fo…
