Results in Precision Multiboson+Jet Phenomenology
Francisco Campanario, Christoph Englert, Michael Rauch +2
We review recent results in precision multiboson+jet phenomenology at the LHC. We discuss strategies how to compute these processes at NLO QCD and examine the impact of the perturb…
Top Tagging
Tilman Plehn, Michael Spannowsky
Top tagging is a recent approach to identifying boosted hadronic top quarks. It avoids reconstructing individual top decay products and instead uses a jet algorithm to reconstruct…
Structure of Fat Jets at the Tevatron and Beyond
Leandro G. Almeida, Raz Alon, Michael Spannowsky
Boosted resonances is a highly probable and enthusiastic scenario in any process probing the electroweak scale. Such objects when decaying into jets can easily blend with the cornu…
How to Improve Top Tagging
Tilman Plehn, Michael Spannowsky, Michihisa Takeuchi
In time for the first tests on LHC data we introduce a set of improvements and tests of purely kinematic top tagging algorithms. First, we show how different jet algorithms can be…
Evasive Higgs Maneuvers at the LHC
Christoph Englert, Joerg Jaeckel, Emanuele Re +1
Non-standard decays of the Higgs boson produced at the Large Hadron Collider can lead to signatures which can easily be missed due to non-adapted trigger or search strategies. Keep…
Dark Matter from Minimal Flavor Violation
Brian Batell, Josef Pradler, Michael Spannowsky
We consider theories of flavored dark matter, in which the dark matter particle is part of a multiplet transforming nontrivially under the flavor group of the Standard Model in a m…
Ditau jets in Higgs searches
Christoph Englert, Tuhin S. Roy, Michael Spannowsky
Understanding and identifying ditau jets -- jets consisting of pairs of tau particles, can be of crucial importance and may even turn out to be a necessity if the Higgs boson decay…
Simplified Models for LHC New Physics Searches
Daniele Alves, Nima Arkani-Hamed, Sanjay Arora +92
This document proposes a collection of simplified models relevant to the design of new-physics searches at the LHC and the characterization of their results. Both ATLAS and CMS hav…
Meets LHC
JoAnne L. Hewett, Jessie Shelton, Michael Spannowsky +2
The recent Tevatron measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry of the top quark shows an intriguing discrepancy with Standard Model expectations, particularly at large $\ttbar$…
Boosted Semileptonic Tops in Stop Decays
Tilman Plehn, Michael Spannowsky, Michihisa Takeuchi
Top partner searches are one of the key aspects of new physics analyses at the LHC. We correct an earlier statement that supersymmetric top searches based on decays to semileptonic…
Finding physics signals with shower deconstruction
Davison E. Soper, Michael Spannowsky
We introduce shower deconstruction, a method to look for new physics in a hadronic environment. The method aims to be a full information approach using small jets. It assigns to ea…
