Detecting Traces of Light-Quark Yukawa Couplings to the Higgs Boson in Fragmentation Products
Johannes K. L. Michel
We point out that Yukawa interactions of light quarks with the Higgs boson are imprinted as unique azimuthal modulations in the density of fragmentation hadrons relative to the Hig…
Simplified Template Cross Sections -- Stage 1.1 and 1.2
Nicolas Berger, Claudia Bertella, Matteo Bonanomi +25
Simplified Template Cross Sections (STXS) have been adopted by the LHC experiments as a common framework for Higgs measurements. Their purpose is to reduce the theoretical uncertai…
Towards a Quantum Information Theory of Hadronization: Dihadron Fragmentation and Neutral Polarization in Heavy Baryons
Rebecca von Kuk, Kyle Lee, Johannes K. L. Michel +1
We pioneer the application of quantum information theory to experimentally distinguish between classes of hadronization models. We adapt the CHSH inequality to the fragmentation of…
Status of QCD precision predictions for Drell-Yan rapidity distributions
S. Alekhin, S. Amoroso, L. Buonocore +9
We compute differential distributions for Drell-Yan processes at the LHC and the Tevatron colliders at next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD, including fiducial cuts on…
Drell-Yan Transverse-Momentum Spectra at NLL and Approximate NLL with SCETlib
Georgios Billis, Johannes K. L. Michel, Frank J. Tackmann
We provide state-of-the-art precision QCD predictions for the fiducial and boson transverse momentum spectra at the LHC at NLL and approximate NLL in resummed pe…
Transverse Momentum-Dependent Heavy-Quark Fragmentation at Next-to-Leading Order
Rebecca von Kuk, Johannes K. L. Michel, Zhiquan Sun
The transverse momentum-dependent fragmentation functions (TMD FFs) of heavy (bottom and charm) quarks, which we recently introduced, are universal building blocks that enter predi…
