Towards singularity and ghost free theories of gravity
Tirthabir Biswas, Erik Gerwick, Tomi Koivisto +1
We present the most general covariant ghost-free gravitational action in a Minkowski vacuum. Apart from the much studied f(R) models, this includes a large class of non-local actio…
W+jets, Z+jets, multijets and new physics searches
Christoph Englert, Erik Gerwick, Tilman Plehn +2
W+jets, Z+jets and QCD multijet production processes at hadron colliders are backgrounds to many searches for physics beyond the Standard Model which involve leptons and missing en…
Understanding Jet Scaling and Jet Vetos in Higgs Searches
Erik Gerwick, Tilman Plehn, Steffen Schumann
Jet counting and jet vetos are crucial analysis tools for many LHC searches. We can understand their properties from the distribution of the exclusive number of jets. LHC processes…
Asymptotic safety and Kaluza-Klein gravitons at the LHC
Erik Gerwick, Daniel Litim, Tilman Plehn
We study Drell-Yan production at the LHC in low-scale quantum gravity models with extra dimensions. Asymptotic safety implies that the ultra-violet behavior of gravity is dictated…
