We present the results on the energy flow measured with minimum-bias data collected by the LHCb experiment in pp collisions at sqrt{s}=7 TeV for inclusive minimum-bias interactions, hard scattering processes and events with enhanced or…
There have been several important recent developments in precision electroweak tests. These include: the new LEP energy scan during the 1993 run; the first high-precision results on the left-right asymmetry from the SLD Collaboration at…
We review the experimental limits on those hypothetical interactions where the fundamental particles could exhibit non point-like behavior. In particular we have focused on the QED reaction measuring the differential cross sections for the…
The combined LEP/SLD data on the b\bar b forward-backward asymmetry from the Z-pole measurements may imply the presence of new physics in the $Zb\bar b$ couplings. In general, the effect of new physics can be parameterized by $SU_C(3)\times…
Axions and axion-like particles (ALPs) are well-motivated low-energy relics of high-energy extensions of the Standard Model, which interact with the known particles through higher-dimensional operators suppressed by the mass scale $\Lambda$…
In the presence of neutrino Non-Standard Interactions (NSI) with matter, the derivation of neutrino parameters from oscillation data must be reconsidered. In particular, along with the standard solution to neutrino oscillation, another…
In this paper, we prove the global existence of the weak solution to the mean field kinetic equation derived from the $N$-particle Newtonian system. For $L^1\cap L^\infty$ initial data, the solvability of the mean field kinetic equation can…
331 models constitute an extension of the Standard Model (SM) obtained by enlarging the SM gauge group $SU(3)_\text{C}\times SU(2)_\text{L}\times U(1)_Y$ to the group $SU(3)_\text{C}\times SU(3)_\text{L}\times U(1)_X$. We investigate how a…
It is well known that high energy data alone do not discriminate between asymptotic $\ln s$ and $\ln^2s$ behavior of $pp$ and $\bar pp$ cross sections. By exploiting high quality low energy data, analyticity resolves this ambiguity in favor…
We comment on the relation of our previous work on the classical gluodynamics of high energy nuclear collisions to recent work by Lappi (hep-ph/0303076). While our results for the non-perturbative number liberation coefficient agree, those…
We demonstrate the utility of leptons which fail standard isolation criteria in searches for new physics at the LHC. Such leptons can arise in any event containing a highly boosted particle which decays to both leptons and quarks. We begin…
Over the last years, Machine Learning (ML) tools have been successfully applied to a wealth of problems in high-energy physics. In this work, we discuss the extraction of the average number of Multiparton Interactions ($\langle N_{\rm mpi}…
This paper presents a phenomenological study on the angle between the Standard and the Winner-Take-All (WTA) jet axes ($\Delta R_{{\rm axis}}^{{\rm WTA-Std}}$) in high-energy nuclear collisions. The $p$+$p$ baseline is provided by the…
The non-relativistic large-$Z$ expansion of the exchange energy of neutral atoms provides an important input to modern non-empirical density functional approximations. Recent works report results of fitting the terms beyond the dominant…
There is an intriguing discrepancy between \alpha_s(M_Z) values measured directly at the CERN $Z_0$-factory and low-energy (at few GeV) measurements transformed to $Q=M_{Z_0}$ by a massless QCD \alpha_s(Q) evolution relation. There exists…
We derive model-independent constraints on four-fermion contact interaction-type dynamics from the published preliminary LEP2 experimental data on e^+e^- annihilation into \mu^+\mu^- and \tau^+\tau^- pairs, measured at different energies…
Experimental analysis of data from particle collisions is typically expressed as statistical limits on a few benchmark models of particular, often historical, interest. The implications of the data for other theoretical models (current or…
Many scenarios of new physics predict the existence of neutrino Non-Standard Interactions, new vector contact interactions between neutrinos and first generation fermions beyond the Standard Model. We obtain model-independent constraints on…
The light gluino hypothesis can explain the apparent incompatibility between the measurements of $\as$ at low- and high-energy. Such gluinos are produced directlyin four-jet events, for which we perform a detailed analysis. Because the jet…
It is widely accepted that: (i) the angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) data produce evidences for the opening of a d-wave pairing gap in cuprates compounds described at low energies and temperatures by a BCS theory, and (ii)…
