Baryon number violation and a new electroweak interaction

M. N. Chernodub, Antti J. Niemi

We introduce a new supercurrent in the electroweak sector of the standard model. Its interaction with the hypergauge field influences the mass of the Z boson but has no effect on t…

Heavy Ion Collisions at the LHC - Last Call for Predictions

S. Abreu, S. V. Akkelin, J. Alam +164

This writeup is a compilation of the predictions for the forthcoming Heavy Ion Program at the Large Hadron Collider, as presented at the CERN Theory Institute 'Heavy Ion Collisions…

New angles on top quark decay to a charged Higgs

David Eriksson, Gunnar Ingelman, Johan Rathsman +1

To properly discover a charged Higgs Boson () requires its spin and couplings to be determined. We investigate how to utilize $\ttbar$ spin correlations to analyze the $H^\p…

Associated production of a Kaluza-Klein excitation of a gluon with a t t(bar) pair at the LHC

M. Guchait, F. Mahmoudi, K. Sridhar

In Randall-Sundrum models, the Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations of the gluon, g_{KK} have enhanced couplings to the right-handed quarks. In the absence of a gg g_{KK} coupling in thes…

SuperIso: A program for calculating the isospin asymmetry of B -> K* gamma in the MSSM

F. Mahmoudi

We present a program for calculating the isospin symmetry breaking of the B -> K* gamma decay in the MSSM with minimal flavor violation. This program calculates the NLO supersymmet…

H^\pm W^\mp production in the MSSM at the LHC

David Eriksson, Stefan Hesselbach, Johan Rathsman

We investigate the viability of observing charged Higgs bosons (H^\pm) produced in association with W bosons at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, using the leptonic decay H^+ -> tau^…

New constraints on supersymmetric models from b -> s gamma

F. Mahmoudi

We provide an analysis of the parameter space of several supersymmetry breaking scenarios such as the minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) model and the non universal Higgs mass (NUHM) fr…

Embedding Brans-Dicke gravity into electroweak theory

M. N. Chernodub, Antti J. Niemi

We argue that a version of the four dimensional Brans-Dicke theory can be embedded in the standard flat spacetime electroweak theory. The embedding involves a change of variables t…

Studies of Spin Effects in Charged Higgs Boson Production with an Iterative Discriminant Analysis at the Tevatron and LHC

S. Hesselbach, S. Moretti, J. Rathsman +1

We report on detailed Monte Carlo comparisons of selection variables to separate tbH+ signal events from the Standard Model ttbar background using an Iterative Discriminant Analysi…

Higgs boson plus photon production at the LHC: a clean probe of the b-quark parton densities

Emidio Gabrielli, Barbara Mele, Johan Rathsman

Higgs boson production in association with a high pT photon at the CERN Large Hadron Collider is analyzed, in the framework of the MSSM model, for the heavier neutral Higgs bosons.…

Heavy-Quark Kinetics in the QGP at LHC

H. van Hees, V. Greco, R. Rapp

We present predictions for the nuclear modification factor and elliptic flow of D and B mesons, as well as of their decay electrons, in semicentral Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. Hea…

Thermal Dileptons at LHC

H. van Hees, R. Rapp

We predict dilepton invariant-mass spectra for central 5.5 ATeV Pb-Pb collisions at LHC. Hadronic emission in the low-mass region is calculated using in-medium spectral functions o…

Vector-Boson Production of Light Higgs Pairs in 2-Higgs Doublet Models

M. Moretti, S. Moretti, F. Piccinini +2

At the Large Hadron Collider, we prove the feasibility to detect pair production of the lightest CP-even Higgs boson of Type II 2-Higgs Doublet Models through $q q^{(')}\to q q…

Estimating the annihilation decay B_s -> rho gamma with factorization

M. R. Ahmady, F. Mahmoudi

The branching ratio for the rare two-body B_s -> rho gamma decay is calculated using the factorization assumption. This transition is dominated by the annihilation diagrams and, in…

Heavy Quark Energy Loss Through Soft QCD Scattering in the QGP

Korinna Zapp, Gunnar Ingelman, Johan Rathsman +1

A strong suppression of non-photonic electrons in Au+Au collisions is observed at RHIC. This is in disagreement with the expected dominance of the energy loss via gluon radiation,…

Pion polarisabilities and bremsstrahlung

Göran Fäldt

A model for high-energy, small-angle pion-nucleus bremsstrahlung, ,is developed within the Glauber diffraction theory. Special attention is focussed on the poss…
