We define a new set of observables to probe the structure of the underlying event in hadron collisions. We use the conventional definition of the `transverse region' in jet events and, for a fixed window in jet $p_\perp$, propose to measure…
This note summarizes many detailed physics studies done by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations for the LHC, concentrating on processes involving the production of high mass states. These studies show that the LHC should be able to elucidate…
The transverse energies and the charged particle multiplicities at midrapidity as well as their ratio, $dE_{T}/d\eta\mid_{mid} / dN_{ch}/d\eta|_{mid}$, are evaluated in a statistical model with expansion for the wide range of heavy-ion…
In collider-based particle physics, $invariant\ mass$ refers to the magnitude of the total-momentum 4-vector of a system of particles. An expression for the invariant mass of a 2-particle system is well known; it assumes that both the total…
The identification of hadronically decaying heavy states, such as vector bosons, the Higgs, or the top quark, produced with large transverse boosts has been and will continue to be a central focus of the jet physics program at the Large…
A class of extra dimensional models with a warped metric predict tunneling of a massive particle localized on our brane and escaping into additional dimensions. The experimental signature of this effect is the disappearance of the particle…
A search for new particles decaying into a pair of top quarks is performed using proton-proton collision data recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = $13 TeV corresponding to…
There are two simple ways that the Higgs boson H of the Standard Model (SM) may be more difficult to observe than expected at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) or the Tevatron. One is well-known, i.e. H decays invisibly, into dark-matter…
We propose a spectral decomposition to systematically extract information of dark matter at hadron colliders. The differential cross section of events with missing transverse energy (MET) can be expressed by a linear combination of basis…
The production of invisible particles plays great importance in high energy physics. Large part of interesting electroweak processes include production of neutrinos, while many new physics scenarios predict the existence of similarly…
To make precision particle mass measurements in charged spectrometers detailed understanding of the influence of detector effects is critical. In this paper the influence of detector-related uncertainties on the determination of the parent…
We propose a tantalizing possibility that misinterpretation of the reconstructed missing momentum may have yielded the observed discrepancies among measurements of the $W$-mass in different collider experiments. We introduce a…
Some hypothetical particles are considered essentially undetectable because they are far too light and slow-moving to transfer appreciable energy or momentum to the normal matter that composes a detector. I propose instead directly…
We propose to use the MT2 concept to measure the masses of all particles in SUSY-like events with two unobservable, identical particles. To this end we generalize the usual notion of MT2 and define a new MT2(n,p,c) variable, which can be…
Three body decays can exhibit CP violation that arises from interfering diagrams with different orderings of the final state particles. We construct several momentum asymmetry observables that are accessible in a hadron collider environment…
The ATLAS detector has been used to search for high-mass states decaying into a single high momentum lepton and missing transverse energy, such as new heavy charged gauge bosons. The latest search results for a W Prime boson decaying to…
The stransverse mass variable $M_{T2}$ was originally proposed for the study of hadron collider events in which $N=2$ parent particles are produced and then decay semi-invisibly. Here we consider the generalization to the case of $N\ge 3$…
The Higgs particle can have dominantly invisible decay in a large class of Majoron models as well as some SUSY models. The LEP signal and mass limit for a Higgs particle undergoing invisible decay are explored. They are found to be very…
Transverse momentum ($p_{\mathrm{T}}$) distributions of identified hadrons produced in p-Pb collisions at $\mathrm{\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02\ TeV}$ have been measured at mid-rapidity (0 $< y_{\mathrm{CMS}} <$ 0.5) by ALICE. Particle tracks are…
We study bipartite entanglement in systems of N identical bosons distributed in M different modes. For such systems, a definition of separability not related to any a priori Hilbert space tensor product structure is needed and can be given…
