A 750 GeV Dark Pion: Cousin of a Dark G-parity-odd WIMP
Yang Bai, Joshua Berger, Ran Lu
We point out a potential common origin of the recently observed 750 GeV diphoton resonance and a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) candidate. In a dark QCD sector with an…
Three Twin Neutrinos: Evidence from LSND and MiniBooNE
Yang Bai, Ran Lu, Sida Lu +2
We construct a neutrino model of three twin neutrinos in light of the neutrino appearance excesses at LSND and MiniBooNE. The model, which includes a twin parity, naturally predict…
: A Two-prong Jet Finding Algorithm
Yang Bai, Zhenyu Han, Ran Lu
We propose a new global jet-finding algorithm for reconstructing two-prong objects like hadronic weak gauge bosons at a hadron collider. The selection of particles in a two-prong j…
Galactic Neutrinos in the TeV to PeV Range
Markus Ahlers, Yang Bai, Vernon Barger +1
We study the contribution of Galactic sources to the flux of astrophysical neutrinos recently observed by the IceCube Collaboration. We show that in the simplest model of homogeneo…
J_{E_T}: A Global Jet Finding Algorithm
Yang Bai, Zhenyu Han, Ran Lu
We introduce a new jet-finding algorithm for a hadron collider based on maximizing a J_{E_T} function for all possible combinations of particles in an event. This function prefers…
R-Parity Conservation from a Top Down Perspective
Bobby S. Acharya, Gordon L. Kane, Piyush Kumar +2
Motivated by results from the LHC and dark matter searches, we study the possibility of phenomenologically viable R-parity violation in GUT models from a top-down point of…
Geometric Compatibility of IceCube TeV-PeV Neutrino Excess and its Galactic Dark Matter Origin
Yang Bai, Ran Lu, Jordi Salvado
We perform a geometric analysis for the sky map of the IceCube TeV-PeV neutrino excess and test its compatibility with the sky map of decaying dark matter signals in our galaxy. Us…
Review and Update of the Compactified M/string Theory Prediction of the Higgs Boson Mass and Properties
Gordon Kane, Ran Lu, Bob Zheng
The August 2011 Higgs mass prediction was based on an ongoing six year project studying M-theory compactified on a manifold of G2 holonomy, with significant contributions from Jing…
Mixed Wino-Axion Dark Matter in String/M Theory and the 130 GeV Gamma-line "Signal"
Bobby Samir Acharya, Gordon Kane, Piyush Kumar +2
String/M theory compactifications with low energy supersymmetry tend to predict that dark matter has two components: axions and WIMPs \cite{1004.5138,1204.2795}. In accord with thi…
Discovering Gluino Events at LHC-8 via Disappearing Chargino Tracks
Gordon Kane, Ran Lu, Bob Zheng
In this note, we advocate a new method for identifying gluino pair production events at the LHC. The method is motivated by and works for theories with heavy squarks and Wino-like…
Higgs Mass Prediction for Realistic String/M Theory Vacua
Gordon Kane, Piyush Kumar, Ran Lu +1
Recently it has been recognized that in compactified string/M-theories that satisfy cosmological constraints, it is possible to derive some robust and generic predictions for parti…
A new (string motivated) approach to the little hierarchy problem
Daniel Feldman, Gordon Kane, Eric Kuflik +1
We point out that in theories where the gravitino mass, , is in the range (10-50)TeV, with soft-breaking scalar masses and trilinear couplings of the same order, there exi…
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…
Theory and Phenomenology of mu in M theory
Bobby Samir Acharya, Gordon Kane, Eric Kuflik +1
We consider a solution to the mu-problem within M theory on a G2-manifold. Our study is based upon the discrete symmetry proposed by Witten that forbids the mu-term and solves the…
Top Channel for Early SUSY Discovery at the LHC
Gordon L. Kane, Eric Kuflik, Ran Lu +1
In recent years many models of supersymmetry have implied a large production rate for events including a high multiplicity of third generation quarks, such as four top quarks. It i…
Dark Matter as a Guide Toward a Light Gluino at the LHC
Daniel Feldman, Gordon Kane, Ran Lu +1
Motivated by specific connections to dark matter signatures, we study the prospects of observing the presence of a relatively light gluino whose mass is in the range ~(500-900) GeV…
Improving SUSY Spectrum Determinations at the LHC with Wedgebox Technique
M. Bisset, N. Kersting, R. Lu
The LHC has the potential not only to discover supersymmetry (SUSY), but also to permit fairly precise measurements of at least a portion of the sparticle spectrum. Proposed mass r…
Four-lepton LHC events from MSSM Higgs boson decays into neutralino and chargino pairs
Mike Bisset, Jun Li, Nick Kersting +3
Heavy neutral Higgs boson production and decay into neutralino and chargino pairs is studied at the Large Hadron Collider in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Mode…
Equivalence of different descriptions for Particle in Simplest Little Higgs Model
Ran Lu, Qing Wang
In SU(3) simplest little Higgs model, a characteristic particle is the light pseudoscalar boson eta, it leads interesting signals in the LHC/ILC and is studied in literature with d…
