Azimuthal Correlations within Exclusive Dijets with Large Momentum Transfer in Photon-Lead Collisions

Matthias Finger, Konstantin Androsov, Jan Steggemann, Qian Wang, Yiming Li, Varun Sharma, Xin Chen, Arvind Shah, Rakesh Chawla, Jian Wang

The structure of nucleons is multidimensional and depends on the transverse momenta, spatial geometry, and polarization of the constituent partons. Such a structure can be studied using high-energy photons produced in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions. ...

Search for singly and pair-produced leptoquarks coupling to third-generation fermions in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV

Matthias Finger, Jan Steggemann, Qian Wang, Yiming Li, Varun Sharma, Konstantin Androsov, Xin Chen, Arvind Shah, Rakesh Chawla, Jian Wang

A search for leptoquarks produced singly and in pairs in proton-proton collisions is presented. We consider the leptoquark (LQ) to be a scalar particle of charge -1/3e coupling to a top quark plus a tau lepton (t tau) or a bottom quark plus a neutrino (b n ...
