Subfactors, Planar Algebras and Rotations
Michael Burns
Growing out of the initial connections between subfactors and knot theory that gave rise to the Jones polynomial, Jones' axiomatization of the standard invariant of an extremal fin…
Using kinematic boundary lines for particle mass measurements and disambiguation in SUSY-like events with missing energy
Michael Burns, Konstantin T. Matchev, Myeonghun Park
We revisit the method of kinematical endpoints for particle mass determination, applied to the popular SUSY decay chain squark -> neutralino -> slepton -> LSP. We analyze the uniqu…
Using Subsystem MT2 for Complete Mass Determinations in Decay Chains with Missing Energy at Hadron Colliders
Michael Burns, Kyoungchul Kong, Konstantin T. Matchev +1
We propose to use the MT2 concept to measure the masses of all particles in SUSY-like events with two unobservable, identical particles. To this end we generalize the usual notion…
A General Method for Model-Independent Measurements of Particle Spins, Couplings and Mixing Angles in Cascade Decays with Missing Energy at Hadron Colliders
Michael Burns, Kyoungchul Kong, Konstantin T. Matchev +1
We outline a general strategy for measuring spins, couplings and mixing angles in the case of a heavy partner decay chain terminating in an invisible particle. We consider the comm…
