Acoplanarity of Lepton Pair to Probe the Electromagnetic Property of Quark Matter

Spencer Klein, A. H. Mueller, Bo-Wen Xiao +1

We investigate the -broadening effects in dilepton production through photon-photon scattering in heavy ion collisions. The QED multiple interaction effects with the medium is…

First results on the scalar WIMP-pion coupling, using the XENON1T experiment

E. Aprile, J. Aalbers, F. Agostini +128

We present first results on the scalar WIMP-pion coupling from 1 tyr of exposure with the XENON1T experiment. This interaction is generated when the WIMP couples to a virtu…

Precision Dijet Acoplanarity Tomography of the Chromo Structure of Perfect QCD Fluids

M. Gyulassy, P. Levai, J. Liao +3

Dijet acoplanarity is dominated by vacuum (Sudakov) pQCD radiation even in Pb+Pb collisions, but future higher precision measurements of the tails of the acoplanarity distributions…

U(1)' mediated decays of heavy sterile neutrinos in MiniBooNE

Peter Ballett, Silvia Pascoli, Mark Ross-Lonergan

The MiniBooNE low-energy excess is a longstanding problem which has received further confirmation recently with a reanalysis using newly collected data, with the anomaly now at the…

Global Constraints from RHIC and LHC on Transport Properties of QCD Fluids in CUJET/CIBJET Framework

Shuzhe Shi, Jinfeng Liao, Miklos Gyulassy

We report results of a comprehensive global analysis of nuclear collision data from RHIC (0.2 ATeV), LHC1 (2.76 ATeV), and recent LHC2 (5.02 ATeV) energies using the updated…

Adding vacuum branching to jet evolution in a dense medium

P. Caucal, E. Iancu, A. H. Mueller +1

We study the fragmentation of a jet propagating in a dense quark-gluon plasma. We show that the "vacuum-like" emissions triggered by the parton virtualities can be factorized from…

On the use of a running coupling in the calculation of forward hadron production at next-to-leading order

B. Ducloué, E. Iancu, T. Lappi +4

We study a puzzle raised recently regarding the running coupling prescription used in the calculation of forward particle production in proton-nucleus collisions at next-to-leading…

A di-bottomonium at the LHC?

Angelo Esposito, Antonio D. Polosa

We study the case of a di-bottomonium particle at the LHC. Its mass and decay width are obtained within a new model of diquark-antidiquark interactions in tetraqua…

Rapidity gap distribution in diffractive deep-inelastic scattering and parton genealogy

A. H. Mueller, S. Munier

We propose a partonic picture for high-mass diffractive dissociation events in onium-nucleus scattering, which leads to simple and robust predictions for the distribution of the si…

Diffractive electron-nucleus scattering and ancestry in branching random walks

A. H. Mueller, S. Munier

We point out an analogy between diffractive electron-nucleus scattering events, and realizations of one-dimensional branching random walks selected according to the height of the g…

Probing the Color Structure of the Perfect QCD Fluids via Soft-Hard-Event-by-Event Azimuthal Correlations

Shuzhe Shi, Jinfeng Liao, Miklos Gyulassy

We develop a comprehensive dynamical framework, CIBJET, to calculate on an event-by-event basis the dependence of correlations between soft ( Gev) and hard ( Gev) a…

Vacuum-like jet fragmentation in a dense QCD medium

P. Caucal, E. Iancu, A. H. Mueller +1

We study the fragmentation of a jet propagating in a dense quark-gluon plasma. Using a leading, double-logarithmic approximation in perturbative QCD, we compute for the first time…
