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…
Charm production in association with an electroweak gauge boson at the LHC
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…
Handbook of LHC Higgs Cross Sections: 2. Differential Distributions
LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group, S. Dittmaier, C. Mariotti +118
This Report summarises the results of the second year's activities of the LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group. The main goal of the working group was to present the state of the…
