Using Data

Using data from [Formula: see text] collisions at [Formula: see text] collected by the CDF and DØ detectors, we present measurements of the Drell-Yan inclusive differential cross section and forward-backward charge asymmetry as a function of invariant mass. We compare these measurements with Standard Model predictions, and present searches for new physics that could appear as deviations from the Standard Model in the Drell-Yan differential cross section.

Sensitive Testing

It is pointed out that the y-dependence of the differential cross-section for various types of neutrinos on the electron promises to be a sensitive testing ground of the electroweak Standard Model at KAON in Vancouver. Estimates of the flux requirements are given and the feasibility of such experiments is discussed.

AbstractDifferential cross-section measurements are presented for the electroweak production of two jets in association with a Z boson. These measurements are sensitive to the vector-boson fusion production mechanism and provide a fundamental test of the gauge structure of the Standard Model. The analysis is performed using proton–proton collision data collected by ATLAS at $$\sqrt{s}=13\ \hbox {TeV}$$ s = 13 TeV and with an integrated luminosity of $$139\ \hbox {fb}^{-1}$$ 139 fb - 1 . The differential cross-sections are measured in the $$Z\rightarrow \ell ^+\ell ^-$$ Z → ℓ + ℓ - decay channel ($$\ell =e,\mu $$ ℓ = e , μ ) as a function of four observables: the dijet invariant mass, the rapidity interval spanned by the two jets, the signed azimuthal angle between the two jets, and the transverse momentum of the dilepton pair. The data are corrected for the effects of detector inefficiency and resolution and are sufficiently precise to distinguish between different state-of-the-art theoretical predictions calculated using Powheg+Pythia8, Herwig7+Vbfnlo and Sherpa 2.2. The differential cross-sections are used to search for anomalous weak-boson self-interactions using a dimension-six effective field theory. The measurement of the signed azimuthal angle between the two jets is found to be particularly sensitive to the interference between the Standard Model and dimension-six scattering amplitudes and provides a direct test of charge-conjugation and parity invariance in the weak-boson self-interactions.

Model Predictions

The deviations from standard model predictions for the pair production of Z0 at e+e− colliders with the inclusion of mixing between ordinary and exotic leptons are evaluated for (i) the differential cross section and (ii) the longitudinal polarization asymmetry at LEP II [Formula: see text] and at possible the next linear collider [Formula: see text] energies. For heavy exotic leptons (mE ~ 250 GeV) the deviations have distinctive features that could allow the possibility of distinguishing between mirror, vector-doublet and vector-singlet type of exotic lepton mixings.

AbstractWe present H1jet, a fast code that computes the total cross section and differential distribution in the transverse momentum of a colour singlet. In its current version, the program implements only leading-order $$2\rightarrow 1$$ 2 → 1 and $$2\rightarrow 2$$ 2 → 2 processes, but could be extended to higher orders. We discuss the processes implemented in H1jet, give detailed instructions on how to implement new processes, and perform comparisons to existing codes. This tool, mainly designed for theorists, can be fruitfully used to assess deviations of selected new physics models from the Standard Model behaviour, as well as to quickly obtain distributions of relevance for Standard Model phenomenology.

The Standard Model

Fiducial production cross-section measurements of Standard Model processes, in principle, provide constraints on new physics scenarios via a comparison of the predicted Standard Model cross-section and the observed cross-section. This approach received significant attention in recent years, both from direct constraints on specific models and the interpretation of measurements in the view of effective field theories. A generic problem in the reinterpretation of Standard Model measurements is the corrections application of to data to account for detector effects. These corrections inherently assume the Standard Model to be valid, thus implying a model bias of the final result. In this work, we study the size of this bias by studying several new physics models and fiducial phase–space regions. The studies are based on fast detector simulations of a generic multi-purpose detector at the Large Hadron Collider. We conclude that the model bias in the associated reinterpretations is negligible only in specific cases, however, typically on the same level as systematic uncertainties of the available measurements.

Cp Asymmetries

The standard model predictions for CP violating hadronic decay asymmetries are presented in the form of probability distributions. From these distributions, it can be easily seen what the most likely values of these quantities are, which measurements would clearly be signs of new physics, and which values of the CP asymmetries would most constrain the parameters of the standard model.

Model Predictions

CP violation in charm decays is expected to be very small in the Standard Model, at the level of 0.1% or less. A sizable excess of CP violation with respect to the Standard Model predictions could be a signature of new physics. We report on recent searches for CP violation in charm meson decays at BABAR and Belle experiments. In particular we report a lifetime ratio analysis of D0 → K+K−, π+π− with respect to D0 → K−π+ decays, which is sensitive to [Formula: see text] mixing and CP violation. We report also on searches for CPV in the 3-body D+ → K+K−π+ decay and for decay modes with a [Formula: see text] in the final state, such as [Formula: see text].

Using the low energy effective Hamiltonian with the generalized factorization, we calculate the new physics contributions to B→π+π-, Kπ and Kη′ in the topcolor-assisted-technicolor (TC2) model, and compare the results with the available data. By using [Formula: see text] preferred by the CLEO data of B→π+π-decay, we find that the new physics enhancements to B→ Kη′ decays are significant in size, ~ 50% with respect to the standard model predictions, insensitive to the variations of input parameters and hence provide a simple and plausible new physics interpretation for the observed unexpectedly large B→ Kη′ decay rates.
