Abstract We calculate various azimuthal angle distributions for three jets produced in the forward rapidity region with transverse momenta pT> 20 GeV in proton-proton (p-p) and proton-lead (p-Pb) collisions at center of mass energy 5.02 TeV. We use the multiparton extension of the so-called small-x Improved Transverse Momentum Dependent factorization (ITMD). We study effects related to change from the standard kT -factorization to ITMD factorization as well as changes as one goes from p-p collision to p-Pb. We observe rather large differences in the distribution when we change the factorization approach, which allows to both improve the small-x TMD gluon distributions as well as validate and improve the factorization approach. We also see significant depletion of the nuclear modification ratio, indicating a possibility of searches for saturation effects using trijet final states in a more exclusive way than for dijets.

Jet observables have been exploited extensively during the LHC Run 1 to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. In this article, the most recent results from the ATLAS and CMS collaborations are summarized. Data from proton–proton collisions at 7 and 8 TeV center-of-mass energy have been analyzed to study monojet, dijet, and multijet final states, searching for a variety of new physics signals that include colored resonances, contact interactions, extra dimensions, and supersymmetric particles. The exhaustive searches with jets in Run 1 did not reveal any signal, and the results were used to put stringent exclusion limits on the new physics models.

In 2007, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will circulate and collide proton-proton beams at an expected center-of-mass energy of 14 TeV. The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is one of four experiments at the LHC and has been designed with particular attention to selecting and reconstructing muons with high redundancy. This paper briefly describes the CMS Muon System and provides an overview of CMS preparations for new physics searches involving lepton final states during the early phases of running at the LHC.

Abstract Measuring the shape of the Higgs boson potential is of paramount importance, and will be a challenging task at current as well as future colliders. While the expectations for the measurement of the trilinear Higgs self-coupling are rather promising, an accurate measurement of the quartic self-coupling interaction is presently considered extremely challenging even at a future 100 TeV proton-proton collider. In this work we explore the sensitivity that a muon collider with a center of mass energy in the multi-TeV range and luminosities of the order of 1035cm−2s−1, as presently under discussion, might provide, thanks to a rather large three Higgs-boson production and to a limited background. By performing a first and simple analysis, we find a clear indication that a muon collider could provide a determination of the quartic Higgs self-coupling that is significantly better than what is currently considered attainable at other future colliders.

This review summarizes the recent results for top quark and Higgs boson measurements from experiments at Tevatron, a proton–antiproton collider at a center-of-mass energy of [Formula: see text], and the Large Hadron Collider, a proton–proton collider at a center-of-mass energy of [Formula: see text]. These results include the discovery of a Higgs-like boson and measurement of its various properties, and measurements in the top quark sector, e.g. top quark mass, spin, charge asymmetry and production of single top quark.

The possibility of producing nonperturbative low-scale gravity states in collider experiments was first discussed in about 1998. The ATLAS and CMS experiments have searched for nonperturbative low-scale gravity states using the Large Hadron Collider with a proton–proton center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. These experiments have now seriously confronted the possibility of producing nonperturbative low-scale gravity states which were proposed over 17 years ago. I will summarize the results of the searches, give a personal view of what they mean, and make some predictions for 13 TeV center-of-mass energy. I will also discuss early ATLAS 13 TeV center-of-mass energy results.

With many applications in high-energy physics, Deep Learning or Deep Neural Network (DNN) has become noticeable and practical in recent years. In this article, a new technique is presented for modeling the charged particles multiplicity distribution [Formula: see text] of Proton-Proton [Formula: see text] collisions using an efficient DNN model. The charged particles multiplicity n, the total center of mass energy [Formula: see text], and the pseudorapidity [Formula: see text] used as input in DNN model and the desired output is [Formula: see text]. DNN was trained to build a function, which studies the relationship between [Formula: see text]. The DNN model showed a high degree of consistency in matching the data distributions. The DNN model is used to predict with [Formula: see text] not included in the training set. The expected [Formula: see text] had effectively merged the experimental data and the values expected indicate a strong agreement with Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for ATLAS measurement at [Formula: see text], 7 and 8 TeV.

Abstract The study of hyperon decays at the Beijing Electron Spectrometer III (BESIII) is proposed to investigate the events of J/ψ decay into hyperon pairs, which provide a pristine experimental environment at the Beijing Electron–Positron Collider II. About 106–108 hyperons, i.e., Λ, Σ, Ξ, and Ω, will be produced in the J/ψ and ψ(2S) decays with the proposed data samples at BESIII. Based on these samples, the measurement sensitivity of the branching fractions of the hyperon decays is in the range of 10−5–10−8. In addition, with the known center-of-mass energy and “tag technique”, rare decays and decays with invisible final states can be probed.

We present the implementation in MadAnalysis 5 of the ATLAS-SUSY-2018-32 search for new physics and document the validation of this re-implementation. This analysis targets, with 139 fb[Formula: see text] of proton–proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector, the electroweak pair production of supersymmetric charginos and sleptons when they further decay into a final state comprising a pair of leptons and missing energy. The validation of our work is based on three [Formula: see text]-parity conserving supersymmetric benchmark setups that feature, respectively, chargino pair-production followed by decays into leptons via an intermediate weak boson, chargino pair-production followed by chargino cascade decays into leptons through a slepton mediator, and slepton pair-production followed by slepton direct decays into leptons.

We present the implementation in the MadAnalysis 5 framework of the CMS-HIG-18-011 search for exotic decays of the Standard Model Higgs boson, in which the Higgs boson is assumed to decay into a pair of light pseudoscalar [Formula: see text], that then further decay into a di-muon and di-[Formula: see text]-jet final state. This analysis considers proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and data collected by the CMS experiment in 2016, with an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb[Formula: see text]. We present a selection of recast predictions, obtained with MadAnalysis 5 and Delphes 3, that include a few differential distributions, yields, and efficiencies. We show that they agree at a level of a few percent with public CMS results.

We present an implementation of the CMS-EXO-17-015 analysis in the MadAnalysis 5 framework. The analysis targets a search for dark matter in a channel in which it originates from the production and decay of a pair of scalar leptoquarks. This search considers a luminosity [Formula: see text] of CMS data collected in 2016 and 2017, in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The final state signature is comprised of one isolated highly-energetic muon, one jet with a large transverse momentum and a significant amount of missing transverse energy. We validate our implementation in MadAnalysis 5 for a specific leptoquark/dark matter benchmark scenario. In particular, we compare predictions obtained with MadAnalysis 5 with the official CMS results for various kinematical distributions relevant for the CMS-EXO-17-015 analysis, as well as detailed cut-flow tables. We have found an excellent agreement.
