Infrared Renormalization Group Flow for Heavy Quark Masses
Andre H. Hoang, Ambar Jain, Ignazio Scimemi +1
A short-distance heavy quark mass depends on two parameters, the renormalization scale mu controlling the absorption of ultraviolet fluctuations into the mass, and a scale R contro…
Two-loop Jet-Function and Jet-Mass for Top Quarks
Ambar Jain, Ignazio Scimemi, Iain W. Stewart
We compute the two-loop heavy quark jet-function in the heavy quark limit. This is one of the key ingredients in next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) and next-to-next-to-leading-lo…
An iterated search for influence from the future on the Large Hadron Collider
Iain Stewart
We analyse an iterated version of Nielsen and Ninomiya (N&N)'s proposed card game experiment to search for a specific type of backward causation on the running of the Large Hadron…
Top Jets in the Peak Region: Factorization Analysis with NLL Resummation
Sean Fleming, Andre H. Hoang, Sonny Mantry +1
We consider top-quarks produced at large energy in e+e- collisions, and address the question of what top-mass can be measured from reconstruction. The production process is charact…
