A summary of the prospects for top-quark physics at the High Luminosity LHC.
In certain kinematic and particle mass configurations, triangle singularities may lead to line-shapes which mimic the effects of resonances. This well-known effect is scrutinized here in the presence of final-state rescattering. The goal is…
The relevant physics for the possible formation of black holes in the LHC is discussed.
We start by remarks on the scientific and societal context of today's theoretical physics. Major classes of models for physics to be explored at the LHC are then reviewed. This leads us to propose an LHC timeline and a list of potential…

If the scale invariance exists in nature, the so-called unparticle physics may become part of reality. The only way to refute or confirm this idea is through the experiments one of which is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). One of the…
Measurements of distributions associated with the pair production of top quarks at the LHC can be used to constrain (or observe) the anomalous chromomagnetic dipole moment($\kappa$) of the top. For example, using either the $t\bar t$…
Light scattering is one of the most established wave phenomena in optics, lying at the heart of light-matter interactions and of crucial importance for nanophotonic applications. Passivity, causality and energy conservation imply strict…

In this paper, the interaction of an incident finite amplitude longitudinal wave with a localized region of nonlinearity is considered. This interaction produces a secondary field represented by a superposition of first-, second-, and…
The opening of a new S-wave threshold is frequently accompanied by an abrupt dip in the magnitude of an amplitude for an already-open channel. One familiar example is the behavior of the I=0 S-wave $\pi \pi$ scattering amplitude at $K \bar…
