A possible solution to the hierarchy problem is the presence of extra spatial dimensions beyond the three ones which are known from our everyday experience. The phenomenological ADD model of large extra-dimensions predicts a missing…
We perform a precise calculation of the transverse momentum ($\vec{q}_T$) distribution of the boson+jet system in boson production events. The boson can be either a photon, $W$, $Z$ or Higgs boson with mass $m_V$, and $\vec{q}_T$ is the sum…
The dark matter may be a composite particle that is accessible via a weakly coupled portal. If these hidden-sector states are produced at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), they would undergo a QCD-like shower. This would result in a spray of…
