We present updated predictions for the total production cross section of top-quark pairs at the Tevatron and at the LHC, and, at the LHC, of heavy-quark pairs with mass in the range 0.5 - 2 TeV. For t (t) over bar production at the LHC we also present resu ...
We address the issue of single top production in association with a W boson at the Large Hadron Collider, in particular how to obtain an accurate description in the face of the top pair production background given that the two processes interfere with each ...
A new conservative gyrokinetic full-f Vlasov code is developed using a finite difference operator which conserves both the L1 and L2 norms. The growth of numerical oscillations is suppressed by conserving the L2 norm, and the code is numerically stable and ...
Events stemming from the pair-production of Z bosons in e+e - collisions are studied using 217.4 pb-1 of data collected with the L3 detector at centre-of-mass energies from 200 GeV up to 209 GeV. The special case of events with b quarks is also investigate ...
The QED processes e+e-→e+e -μ+μ- and e+e -→e+e-τ+τ- are studied with the L3 detector at LEP using an untagged data sample collected at centre-of-mass energies 161 GeV≤√s≤209 GeV. The τ-pairs are observed through the associated decay of one τ into eνν and t ...
Non topological solitons, Q balls can arise in many particle theories with U(1) global symmetries. As was shown by Cohen et al. [2], if the corresponding scalar field couples to massless fermions, large Q-balls are unstable and evaporate, producing a fermi ...
We consider the application of endpoint techniques to the problem of mass determination for new particles produced at a hadron collider, where these particles decay to an invisible particle of unknown mass and one or more visible particles of known mass. W ...
We report a measurement of the inclusive electron energy spectrum for charmed semileptonic decays of B mesons in a 140fb-1 data sample collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e+e- collider. We determine the fi ...
Events from the e+e-→Zγ process with hard initial-state radiation collected with the L3 detector at centre-of-mass energies between 183 and 209 GeV are used to measure the mass of the Z boson. Decays of the Z boson into hadrons or muon pairs are considered ...
A search for a Higgs boson produced in e(+)e(-) collisions in association with a Z boson and decaying into invisible particles is performed. Data collected at LEP with the U detector at centre-of-mass energies from 189 to 209 GeV are used, corresponding to ...
