Nuclear Parton Distribution Functions

I. Schienbein, J. Y. Yu, C. Keppel +3

We study nuclear effects of charged current deep inelastic neutrino-iron scattering in the framework of a chi^2 analysis of parton distribution functions (PDFs). We extract a set o…

Prospects for Yukawa Unified SO(10) SUSY GUTs at the CERN LHC

Howard Baer, Sabine Kraml, Sezen Sekmen +1

The requirement of t-b-τYukawa coupling unification is common in simple grand unified models based on the gauge group SO(10), and it also places a severe constraint on the expected…

Associated Production of a W Boson and One b Jet

J. Campbell, R. Keith Ellis, F. Febres Cordero +4

We calculate the production of a W boson and a single b jet to next-to-leading order in QCD at the Fermilab Tevatron and the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Both exclusive and inclusiv…

SUSY backgrounds to Standard Model calibration processes at the LHC

Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Gabe Shaughnessy

One of the first orders of business for LHC experiments after beam turn-on will be to calibrate the detectors using well understood Standard Model (SM) processes such as W and Z pr…

NLO QCD corrections to Z b anti-b production with massive bottom quarks at the Fermilab Tevatron

F. Febres Cordero, L. Reina, D. Wackeroth

We calculate the Next-to-Leading Order (NLO) QCD corrections to Z b anti-b production in hadronic collisions including full bottom-quark mass effects. We present results for the to…

Dark matter and the LHC

Howard Baer, Xerxes Tata

An abundance of astrophysical evidence indicates that the bulk of matter in the universe is made up of massive, electrically neutral particles that form the dark matter (DM). While…

Thermalization in SU(3) gauge theory after a deconfining quench

Alexei Bazavov, Bernd A. Berg, Adrian Dumitru

We determine the time evolution of fluctuations of the Polyakov loop after a quench into the deconfined phase of SU(3) gauge theory from a simple classical relativistic Lagrangian.…

A NLO analysis on fragility of dihadron tomography in high energy collisions

Hanzhong Zhang, J. F. Owens, Enke Wang +1

The dihadron spectra in high energy collisions are studied within the NLO pQCD parton model with jet quenching taken into account. The high dihadron spectra are found to…

SO(10) SUSY GUTs, the gravitino problem, non-thermal leptogenesis and axino dark matter

Howard Baer, Heaya Summy

Simple SUSY GUT models based on the gauge group SO(10) require t-b-τYukawa coupling unification, in addition to gauge coupling and matter unification. The Yukawa coupling unificati…

Terascale Physics Opportunities at a High Statistics, High Energy Neutrino Scattering Experiment: NuSOnG

T. Adams, P. Batra, L. Bugel +33

This article presents the physics case for a new high-energy, ultra-high statistics neutrino scattering experiment, NuSOnG (Neutrino Scattering on Glass). This experiment uses a Te…

SUSY interpretation of the Egret GeV anomaly, Xenon-10 dark matter search limits and the LHC

Howard Baer, Alexander Belyaev, Heaya Summy

The observation of the Egret experiment of an excess of diffuse gamma rays with energies above E_γ=1 GeV has previously been interpreted in the context of the minimal supergravity…

Early SUSY discovery at LHC without missing E_T: the role of multi-leptons

Howard Baer, Harrison Prosper, Heaya Summy

Traditional searches for SUSY at hadron colliders rely heavily on the presence of large missing transverse energy (ME_T) to reject background compared to signal. On the other hand,…

NLO QCD corrections to W-b-bbar and Z-b-bbar production

Fernando Febres Cordero, Laura Reina, Doreen Wackeroth

We present NLO QCD results for W/Z gauge boson production with bottom quark pairs at the Tevatron including full bottom-quark mass effects. We study the impact of QCD corrections o…

Dark matter allowed scenarios for Yukawa-unified SO(10) SUSY GUTs

Howard Baer, Sabine Kraml, Sezen Sekmen +1

Simple supersymmetric grand unified models based on the gauge group SO(10) require --in addition to gauge and matter unification-- the unification of t-b-τYukawa couplings. Yukawa…
