We analyze the transverse momentum ( p T ) spectra of lepton pairs ( ℓ ℓ ¯ ) generated in the Drell-Yan process, as detected in proton-nucleus (pion-nucleus) and proton-(anti)proton collisions by ten collaborations over a center-of-mass energy s N N or s if in a simplified form) range from ~ 20  GeV to above 10 TeV. Three types of probability density functions (the convolution of two Lévy-Tsallis functions, the two-component Erlang distribution, and the convolution of two Hagedorn functions) are utilized to fit and analyze the p T spectra. The fit results are approximately in agreement with the collected experimental data. Consecutively, we obtained the variation law of related parameters as a function of s and invariant mass Q . In the fit procedure, a given Lévy-Tsallis (or Hagedorn) function can be regarded as the probability density function of transverse momenta contributed by a single quark ( q ) or anti-quark ( q ¯ ). The Drell-Yan process is then described by the statistical method.

A study of intermittency in hadron-nucleus and the comparison with nucleus-nucleus interactions is presented. The power law behavior of the factorial moments and the variation of intermittency index with the center-of-mass energy are shown. Results favor the formation of quark-gluon plasma in preference to a cascade mechanism.

We discuss the physics opportunities and challenges presented by high energy lepton colliders in the range of center-of-mass energy between few and several tens of TeV. The focus is on the progress attainable on the study of weak and Higgs interactions in connection with new physics scenarios motivated by the shortcomings of the Standard Model.

The quark-gluon plasma created in high energy collisions of large nuclei exhibits strong anisotropic collective behavior as a nearly perfect fluid, flowing with little frictional resistance or viscosity. It has been investigated extensively over the past years employing two or more particle correlations. An overview of collective flow and particle correlation measurements at CMS as a function of transverse momentum, pseudorapidity, event multiplicity, for both charged hadrons or identified particles will be presented. These results are compared among pp, pPb and PbPb systems and several aspects of their intriguing similarities are discussed.

AbstractThe inclusive hadroproduction of two heavy quarks, featuring a large separation in rapidity, is proposed as a novel probe channel of the Balitsky–Fadin–Kuraev–Lipatov (BFKL) approach. In a theoretical setup which includes full resummation of leading logarithms in the center-of-mass energy and partial resummation of the next-to-leading ones, predictions for the cross section and azimuthal coefficients are presented for kinematic configurations typical of current and possible future experimental analyses at the LHC.

The Higgs boson was discovered on the 4th of July 2012 with a mass around 125 GeV by ATLAS and CMS experiments at LHC. Determining the Higgs properties (production and decay modes, couplings,...) is an important part of the high-energy physics programme in this decade. A search for the Higgs boson production in association with a top quark pair (tt̄H) at ATLAS [1] is summarized in this paper at an unexplored center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, which could allow a first direct measurement of the top quark Yukawa coupling and could reveal new physics. The tt̄H analysis in ATLAS is divided into 3 channels according to the Higgs decay modes: H → Hadrons, H → Leptons and H → Photons. The best-fit value of the ratio of observed and Standard Model cross sections of tt̄H production process, using 2015-2016 data and combining all tt̄H final states, is 1:8±0:7, corresponds to 2:8σ (1:8σ) observed (expected) significance.

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.

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.
