New sensitivity of LHC measurements to composite dark matter models

J. M. Butterworth et al.

Summary: This paper presents the sensitivity of LHC differential cross-section measurements to stealth dark matter scenarios, including an SUoND thorn dark gauge group, the Standard Model, and dark matter. The impact of LHC measurements on dark meson masses is evaluated, and the connection between LHC explorations and dark matter phenomenology, particularly direct-detection experiments, is discussed.

Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order Study of Three-Jet Production at the LHC

Michal Czakon et al.

Summary: This study utilizes multijet rates to explore quantum chromodynamics (QCD), calculating NNLO QCD corrections for three-jet observables and three-to-two jet ratios. It demonstrates a significant reduction in the dependence of these observables on factorization and renormalization scales. This proof-of-principle computation represents a milestone in perturbative QCD.

Averages of b-hadron, c-hadron, and τ-lepton properties as of 2018 Heavy Flavor Averaging Group (HFLAV)

Y. Amhis et al.

Summary: This paper reports world averages of measurements of b-hadron, c-hadron, and tau-lepton properties obtained by the Heavy Flavour Averaging Group using results available through September 2018. Adjustments are made to common input parameters used in various analyses to common values, taking known correlations into account. The averages include branching fractions, lifetimes, neutral meson mixing parameters, CP violation parameters, parameters of semileptonic decays, and Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements.

Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order Event Generation for Top-Quark Pair Production

Javier Mazzitelli et al.

Summary: Studying the production of top-quark pairs in hadronic collisions is crucial for understanding the properties of the heaviest quark observed in nature, with Monte Carlo simulations being heavily relied upon and challenged by experimental measurements. This work presents the first matched computation of top-quark pair production at next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD with all-order radiative corrections using parton-shower simulations, marking an important step towards simulating other hadronic processes with color charges in the final state.

Electroweak (tt)over-bar hadroproduction in the presence of heavy Z' and W' bosons at NLO QCD in POWHEG

Mohammad Mahdi Altakach et al.

Summary: A new calculation of next-to-leading order QCD corrections to electroweak top-quark pair hadroproduction in extensions of the Standard Model has been presented. The study allows for flavor-non-diagonal Z' couplings and nonresonant production, leading to improved cross section predictions at higher energies. The research demonstrates the importance of models with a more complicated flavor structure, including those proposed to explain flavor anomalies, in the context of top-quark pair production.

Testing new physics models with global comparisons to collider measurements: the Contur toolkit

A. Buckley et al.

Summary: Measurements at particle collider experiments, although focused on understanding Standard Model processes, can provide model-independent information about physics beyond the Standard Model. The CONTUR package enables users to test new models against the existing LHC measurements using the RIVET library. The authors believe that for this approach to be successful, the CONTUR tool needs to be accessible to a wider high energy physics community.

Measurement of hadronic event shapes in high-pT multijet final states at √s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

M. Aaboud et al.

Summary: The measurement of event-shape variables in proton-proton collisions with large momentum transfer is presented using data from the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Six event-shape variables calculated from hadronic jets are studied in inclusive multijet events, reaching scales beyond 2 TeV. Discrepancies between the measurements and Monte Carlo predictions are observed in shape at low jet multiplicities, while discrepancies in normalization are seen at high jet multiplicities.
