Two-loop QCD corrections to the MSSM Higgs masses beyond the effective-potential approximation

G Degrassi, S Di Vita, P Slavich - The European Physical Journal C, 2015 - Springer
We compute the two-loop QCD corrections to the neutral Higgs-boson masses in the
Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, including the effect of non-vanishing external …

Neutrino in Standard Model and beyond

SM Bilenky - Physics of Particles and Nuclei, 2015 - Springer
After discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN the Standard Model acquired a status of the

[HTML][HTML] Heavy WIMP through Higgs portal at the LHC

M Endo, Y Takaesu - Physics Letters B, 2015 - Elsevier
The LHC constraints on Higgs-portal WIMPs are studied. Scalar, vector and anti-symmetric
tensor fields are considered. They are assumed to be heavier than a half of the Higgs boson …

Hawking radiation from higher-dimensional black holes

P Kanti, E Winstanley - Quantum Aspects of Black Holes, 2015 - Springer
We review the quantum field theory description of Hawking radiation from evaporating black
holes and summarize what is known about Hawking radiation from black holes in more than …

[HTML][HTML] Analysis of anomalous quartic WWZγ couplings in γp collision at the LHC

A Senol, M Köksal - Physics Letters B, 2015 - Elsevier
Gauge boson self-couplings are exactly determined by the non-Abelian gauge nature of the
Standard Model (SM), thus precision measurements of these couplings at the LHC provide …

CMS forward calorimeters phase II upgrade

B Bilki… - Journal of Physics …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The Phase II Upgrade of the CMS forward calorimeters (electromagnetic and
hadronic) originates from the fact that these calorimeters will not be sufficiently performant …

Abstract XQCAT (eXtra Quark Combined Analysis Tool) is a tool aimed at determining
exclusion confidence levels for scenarios of new physics characterised by the presence of …

CMS reconstruction improvements for the tracking in large pileup events

M Rovere, CMS Collaboration - Journal of Physics: Conference …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
The CMS tracking code is organized in several levels, known as iterative steps, each
optimized to reconstruct a class of particle trajectories, as the ones of particles originating …

The Data Quality Monitoring Software for the CMS experiment at the LHC

M Rovere, CMS Collaboration - Journal of Physics: Conference …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
