The goal of this report is to give a comprehensive overview of the rich field of forward physics, with a special attention to the topics that can be studied at the LHC. The report…
Central exclusive production within the Durham model: a review
L. A. Harland-Lang, V. A. Khoze, M. G. Ryskin +1
We review recent results within the Durham model of central exclusive production. We discuss the theoretical aspects of this approach and consider the phenomenological implications…
Charm production in association with W and Z at the LHC
Eleni Vryonidou
The production of charm quark jets in association with electroweak gauge bosons at the LHC can be used as a tool to constrain quark parton distribution functions. Motivated by rece…
Probing the perturbative dynamics of exclusive meson pair production
L. A. Harland-Lang, V. A. Khoze, M. G. Ryskin +1
We present the results of a recent novel application of the `hard exclusive' perturbative formalism to the process gg --> MMbar at large angles, where M (Mbar) is a light meson (an…
Central exclusive production as a probe of the gluonic component of the eta' and eta mesons
L. A. Harland-Lang, V. A. Khoze, M. G. Ryskin +1
Currently, the long-standing issue concerning the size of the gluonic content of the eta' and eta mesons remains unsettled. With this in mind we consider the central exclusive prod…

L. A. Harland-Lang, V. A. Khoze, M. G. Ryskin +1
Selected new results in central exclusive production (CEP) processes within the pQCD-based Durham model are discussed. Topics covered include the CEP of SM and BSM Higgs-like parti…
Electroweak corrections and Bloch-Nordsieck violations in 2-to-2 processes at the LHC
W. J. Stirling, E. Vryonidou
We consider the effect of next-to-leading order (NLO) electroweak corrections to Standard Model 2-to-2 processes, taking into account the potentially large double logarithms origin…
Extended Parameterisations for MSTW PDFs and their effect on Lepton Charge Asymmetry from W Decays
A. D. Martin, A. J. Th. M. Mathijssen, W. J. Stirling +3
We investigate the effect of extending the standard MSTW parameterisation of input parton distribution functions (PDFs) using Chebyshev polynomials. We find evidence that four powe…
Electroweak gauge boson polarisation at the LHC
W. J. Stirling, E. Vryonidou
We study the polarisation of gauge bosons produced at the LHC. Polarisation effects for W bosons manifest themselves in the angular distributions of the lepton and in the distribut…
The phenomenology of central exclusive production at hadron colliders
L. A. Harland-Lang, V. A. Khoze, M. G. Ryskin +1
Central exclusive production (CEP) processes in high-energy hadron-hadron collisions provide an especially clean environment in which to measure the nature and quantum numbers (in…

W. J. Stirling, E. Vryonidou
The production of charm quark jets in association with electroweak gauge bosons at the LHC can be used as a tool to constrain quark parton distribution functions (PDFs). Motivated…
Single and Double Perturbative Splitting Diagrams in Double Parton Scattering
Jonathan R. Gaunt, W. James Stirling
We discuss the role of two different types of diagram in the proton-proton double parton scattering (DPS) cross section - single and double perturbative splitting graphs. Using exp…
A novel technique for measuring masses of a pair of semi-invisibly decaying particles
L. A. Harland-Lang, C. H. Kom, K. Sakurai +1
Motivated by evidence for the existence of dark matter, many new physics models predict the pair production of new particles, followed by the decays into two invisible particles, l…

A spin-3/2 top quark excitation originating in string realisations of the RS scenario has an effect on the production of top-antitop pairs in hadron-hadron collisions. We study the…
