Descoped and Upscoped FCC-ee Running Scenarios in the SMEFT
Eugenia Celada, Elie Hammou, Jaco ter Hoeve +1
We present projections for the sensitivity to new physics of descoped and upscoped FCC-ee scenarios in the framework of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). Starting…
Tailored PDFs for new physics searches
Elie Hammou
The paper studies how parton distribution functions at large Bjorken‑x can inadvertently absorb signals of new physics, biasing searches, and demonstrates two methods—energy‑cut fi…
Electromagnetic Shower Reconstruction and Identification in FASER's Emulsion Detector for LHC Forward Neutrino Measurements
FASER Collaboration, Roshan Mammen Abraham, Xiaocong Ai +132
We present methods for electromagnetic shower reconstruction and identification in the FASERnu emulsion detector using 100 GeV and 200 GeV electron test-beam data from the CERN SPS…
Proton Structure from Neural Simulation-Based Inference at the LHC
Ricardo Barrué, Lisa Benato, Ali Kaan Güven +10
The precise determination of the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton is an essential ingredient for LHC analyses, including for those at the upcoming High-Luminosity…
Tailored PDFs for New Physics searches
Ella Cole, Mark N. Costantini, Elie Hammou +4
Given the non-negligible interplay between parton distribution functions (PDFs) at large x and potential New Physics (NP) effects in the high-energy tails of hadron collider observ…
Momentum Measurement of Charged Particles in FASER's Emulsion Detector at the LHC
FASER Collaboration, Roshan Mammen Abraham, Xiaocong Ai +132
We present a momentum measurement method based on multiple Coulomb scattering (MCS) in the FASER emulsion detector. The measurement of charged-particle momenta is essential for…
