Structure Formation and Exotic Compact Objects in a Dissipative Dark Sector

Jae Hyeok Chang, Daniel Egana-Ugrinovic, Rouven Essig +1

We present the complete history of structure formation in a simple dissipative dark-sector model. The model has only two particles: a dark electron, which is a subdominant componen…

Removing infrared divergences from two-loop integrals

Charalampos Anastasiou, George Sterman

Feynman amplitudes at higher orders in perturbation theory generically have complex singular structures. Notwithstanding the emergence of many powerful new methods, the presence of…

Subtracted Cumulants: Mitigating Large Background in Jet Substructure

Yang-Ting Chien, Daekyoung Kang, Kyle Lee +1

We introduce a new approach for jet physics studies using subtracted cumulants of jet substructure observables, which are shown to be insensitive to contributions from soft-particl…

Threshold Resummation at NNLL for Single-particle Production in Hadronic Collisions

Patriz Hinderer, Felix Ringer, George Sterman +1

We develop threshold resummation for single-particle inclusive cross sections in hadron-hadron collisions to the level of next-to-next-to-leading logarithm, up to full matching wit…

New Physics from High Energy Tops

Marco Farina, Cristina Mondino, Duccio Pappadopulo +1

Precision measurements of high energy top quarks at the LHC constitute a powerful probe of new physics. We study the effect of four fermion operators involving two tops and two lig…

Extending the hydrodynamical description of heavy-ion collisions to the "outer edge" of the fireball

Adith Ramamurti, Edward Shuryak

It is well known that relativistic hydrodynamics provides very good description of heavy-ion collisions at RHIC/LHC energies up to transverse momenta .…

Search for steady point-like sources in the astrophysical muon neutrino flux with 8 years of IceCube data

IceCube Collaboration, M. G. Aartsen, M. Ackermann +325

The IceCube Collaboration has observed a high-energy astrophysical neutrino flux and recently found evidence for neutrino emission from the blazar TXS 0506+056. These results open…

Soft drop groomed jet angularities at the LHC

Zhong-Bo Kang, Kyle Lee, Xiaohui Liu +1

Jet angularities are a class of jet substructure observables where a continuous parameter is introduced in order to interpolate between different classic observables such as the je…

Measurement of the Triple Higgs Coupling at a HE-LHC

Samuel Homiller, Patrick Meade

The currently unmeasured triple Higgs coupling is one of the strong motivations for future physics programs at the LHC and beyond. A sufficiently precise measurement can lead to qu…

Aligned and Spontaneous Flavor Violation

Daniel Egana-Ugrinovic, Samuel Homiller, Patrick Meade

We present a systematic spurion setup called Aligned Flavor Violation (AFV) that allows for new physics couplings to quarks that are aligned with the Standard Model (SM) Yukawas, b…

Type-II Seesaw Scalar Triplet Model at a 100 TeV Collider: Discovery and Higgs Portal Coupling Determination

Yong Du, Aaron Dunbrack, Michael J. Ramsey-Musolf +1

We investigate the collider phenomenology of the scalar triplet particles in the Type-II seesaw model at a 100 TeV collider. Depending on triplet vacuum expectation value $v_Δ…

Electrical conductivity and relaxation via colored noise in a hadronic gas

Jan Hammelmann, Juan M. Torres-Rincon, Jean-Bernard Rose +2

Motivated by the theory of relativistic hydrodynamic fluctuations we make use of the Green-Kubo formula to compute the electrical conductivity and the (second-order) relaxation tim…

Lifetimes of Doubly Charmed Baryons

Hai-Yang Cheng, Yan-Liang Shi

The lifetimes of doubly charmed hadrons are analyzed within the framework of the heavy quark expansion (HQE). Lifetime differences arise from spectator effects such as -exchange…

Searching for New Physics with Deep Autoencoders

Marco Farina, Yuichiro Nakai, David Shih

We introduce a potentially powerful new method of searching for new physics at the LHC, using autoencoders and unsupervised deep learning. The key idea of the autoencoder is that i…
