String Theory at LHC Using Top Quarks From String Balls
Gouranga C Nayak
According to string theory, string ball is a highly excited long string which decays to standard model particles at the Hagedorn temperature with thermal spectrum. If there are ext…
Top Quark Production from Black Holes at the CERN LHC
Andrew Chamblin, Fred Cooper, Gouranga C. Nayak
LHC is expected to be a top quark factory. If the fundamental Planck scale is near a TeV, then we also expect the top quarks to be produced from black holes via Hawking radiation.…
Color Transfer Enhancement for Heavy Quarkonium Production
Gouranga C. Nayak, Jian-Wei Qiu, George Sterman
We study the transfer of color between a heavy quark pair and an unpaired heavy quark or antiquark moving at a nonrelativistic velocity with respect to the pair. We find that the o…
Color Transfer in Associated Heavy-Quarkonium Production
Gouranga C. Nayak, Jian-Wei Qiu, George Sterman
We study the production of heavy quarkonium in association with an additional heavy pair. We argue that important contributions may come from phase space regions where three heavy…
NRQCD Factorization and Velocity-dependence of NNLO Poles in Heavy Quarkonium Production
Gouranga C. Nayak, Jian-Wei Qiu, George Sterman
We study the transition of a heavy quark pair from octet to singlet color configurations at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in heavy quarkonium production. We show that the in…
Higgs Boson Production from Black Holes at the LHC
Gouranga C. Nayak, J. Smith
If the fundamental Planck scale is near a TeV, then TeV scale black holes should be produced in proton-proton collisions at the LHC where \sqrt{s} = 14 TeV. As the temperature of t…
