This paper seeks to demonstrate that many of the existing mass-measurement variables proposed for hadron colliders (mT, mEff, mT2, missing pT, hT, rootsHatMin, etc.) are far more closely related to each other than is widely appreciated, and…
The transverse momenta of hadrons in central nucleus-nucleus collisions are evaluated in a boost invariant hydrodynamics with transverse expansion. Quark gluon plasma is assumed to be formed in the initial state which expands and cools via…
In this contribution to Light Cone 2014, three average transverse momentum quantities are discussed: the Sivers shift, the dijet imbalance, and the $p_T$ broadening. The definitions of these quantities involve integrals over all transverse…
We introduce a variable useful for measuring masses of particles pair produced at hadron colliders, where each particle decays to one particle that is directly observable and another particle whose existence can only be inferred from…
The transverse momentum spectra and their multiplicity dependence serve as key tools for extracting parameters to be compared with theoretical models. Over the past decade, the scientific community has extensively studied the possibility of…
We provide a theoretical study of a novel variable introduced in Ref. \cite{WV} to study the transverse momentum of the Z boson at hadron colliders. The variable we consider has experimental advantages over the standard $p_T$ distribution…
Hard processes leading to high transverse momentum hadron production are calculable in perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (pQCD) for proton-proton collisions. In heavy-ion collisions, such processes occur as well, and due to a separation…
The term 'tomography' is commonly applied to the idea of studying properties of a medium by the modifications this medium induces to a known probe propagating through it. In the context of ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, rare high…
The CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider has recently presented data on the average transverse momentum of protons, kaons and pions as a function of particle multiplicity. We relate the particle multiplicity to saturation momentum…
The multiplicity and average transverse momentum of the charged and identified particles produced in different kinds of colliding systems are an example of global observables used to characterize events over a wide range of energy. Studying…
A shape of invariant differential cross section for hadron production as function of transverse momentum is analysed. The systematic analysis of the available data demonstrates a need for a modification of the parameterization traditionally…
We study fluctuations and correlations of the average transverse momentum of particles emitted in heavy-ion collisions. Fluctuations of the average transverse momentum are related to event-by-event fluctuations of the size and entropy of…
We consider the transverse-momentum distribution of colourless high-mass systems (lepton pairs, vector bosons, Higgs particles...) produced in hadronic collisions. We briefly review a formalism for the all-order resummation of the…
We introduced recently a new theoretical scheme which accounts for hydrodynamically expanding bulk matter, jets, and the interaction between the two. Important for the particle production at intermediate values of transverse momentum (p_t)…
The conventional NLO parton model is enough for the description of total cross sections and one-particle distributions. In the case of two-particle correlations, the collinear approximation has failed, and it is necessary to account for the…
We present precision calculations of the invariant-mass and transverse-momentum distributions of gaugino pairs produced at hadron colliders. We implement the threshold and transverse-momentum resummation formalisms at next-to-leading order…
We provide the first theoretical study of a novel variable, $a_T$, proposed in Ref.[1] as a more accurate probe of the region of low transverse momentum $p_T$, for the $Z$ boson $p_T$ distribution at hadron colliders. The $a_T$ is the…
The creation of particles with large transverse momenta in high energy hadronic collisions is a long standing problem. The transition from small- (soft) to hard- parton scattering `high-pt' events is rather smooth. In this paper we apply…
Thermodynamical description of the system created during high energy collision requires a proper thermodynamical framework to study the distribution of particles. In this work, we have attempted to explain the transverse momentum spectra of…
A detailed analysis of transverse momentum spectra of several identified hadrons in high energy collisions within the canonical framework of the statistical model of hadronisation is performed. The study of particle momentum spectra…
