Bootstrapping amplitudes of scalar particles

Quantum Field Theories are a central object of interest of modern physics, describing fundamental interactions of matter. However, current methods give limited insight into strongly coupling theories. S-matrix bootstrap program, described in this thesis, a ...

General and Unified Model of the Power Flow Problem in Multiterminal AC/DC Networks

Mario Paolone, Willem Lambrichts

This paper proposes a generic and unified model of the power flow (PF) problem for multiterminal hybrid AC/DC networks. The proposed model is an extension of the standard AC-PF. The DC network is treated as an AC one and, in addition to the Slack, PV and P ...

Emergent U(1) symmetry in non-particle-conserving one-dimensional models

Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga, Loïc Jean Pierre Herviou, Mohamed Zakaria Jouini

The properties of stable Luttinger liquid phases in models with a nonconserved number of particles are investigated. We study the Luttinger liquid phases in one-dimensional models of hard-core boson and spinless fermion chains where particles can be create ...

Bootstrapping traceless symmetric O(N) scalars

Alessandro Vichi, Maria Refinetti, Marten Jan Reehorst

We use numerical bootstrap techniques to study correlation functions of traceless sym-metric tensors of O(N) with two indices ti j. We obtain upper bounds on operator dimen-sions for all the relevant representations and several values of N. We discover sev ...

Search for new heavy resonances decaying to WW, WZ, ZZ, WH, or ZH boson pairs in the all-jets final state in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV

Matthias Finger, Konstantin Androsov, Qian Wang, Jan Steggemann, Yiming Li, Anna Mascellani, Varun Sharma, Xin Chen, Rakesh Chawla, Matteo Galli

A search for new heavy resonances decaying to WW, WZ, ZZ, WH, or ZH boson pairs in the all-jets final state is presented. The analysis is based on proton-proton collision data recorded by the CMS detector in 2016-2018 at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV a ...

Exact quantum conformal symmetry, its spontaneous breakdown, and gravitational Weyl anomaly

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Anna Tokareva

The classical Lagrangian of the Standard Model enjoys the symmetry of the full conformal group if the mass of the Higgs boson is put to zero. This is a hint that conformal symmetry may play a fundamental role in the ultimate theory describing nature. The o ...

Anomaly-free scale symmetry and gravity

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Anna Tokareva

In this Letter, we address the question of whether the conformal invariance can be considered as a global symmetry of a theory of fundamental interactions. To describe Nature, this theory must contain a mechanism of spontaneous breaking of the scale symmet ...

Measurement of the t(t)over-bar charge asymmetry in events with highly Lorentz-boosted in collisions at √s=13 TeV

Matthias Finger, Konstantin Androsov, Qian Wang, Jan Steggemann, Yiming Li, Anna Mascellani, Varun Sharma, Xin Chen, Rakesh Chawla, Matteo Galli

The measurement of the charge asymmetry in top quark pair events with highly Lorentz-boosted top quarks decaying to a single lepton and jets is presented. The analysis is performed using protonproton collisions at root s = 13 TeV with the CMS detector at t ...

Search for Exotic Higgs Boson Decays H → AA → 4γ with Events Containing Two Merged Diphotons in Proton-Proton Collisions at Vs=13 TeV

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

We present the first direct search for exotic Higgs boson decays H -> AA, A -> gamma gamma in events with two photonlike objects. The hypothetical particle A is a low-mass spin-0 particle decaying promptly to a merged diphoton reconstructed as a single pho ...

Sleptonic SUSY: from UV framework to IR phenomenology

Majid Ekhterachian

We study an attractive scenario, "Sleptonic SUSY", which reconciles the 125 GeV Higgs scalar and the non-observation of superpartners thus far with potentially pivotal roles for slepton phenomenology: providing viable ongoing targets for LHC discovery, inc ...
