There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.

Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

Forward - backward asymmetries

We consider interference effects in the production via gluon fusion in LHC collisions at 13 TeV and decays into $\gamma \gamma$ and $t {\bar t}$ final states of one or two putative new resonant states $\Phi$, assumed here to be scalar and/or pseudo scalar particles. Although our approach is general, we use for our numerical analysis the example of the putative $750$ GeV state for which a slight excess was observed in the initial LHC $13$ TeV data. We revisit previous calculations of the interferences between the heavy-fermion loop-induced $gg \to \Phi \to \gamma \gamma$ signal and the continuum $gg\to \gamma\gamma$ QCD background, which can alter the production rate as well as modify the line-shape and apparent mass. We find a modest enhancement by $\sim 20$% under favorable circumstances, for a large $\Phi$ width. The effect of interference on the apparent scalar-pseudoscalar mass difference in a two-Higgs-doublet model is found to be also modest. An exploratory study indicates that similar effects are to be expected in the $gg \to \Phi \to Z \gamma$ channel. In this and other models with a large $\Phi$ total width, the dominant $\Phi$ decays are expected to be into $t \bar t$ final states. We therefore also study the effects of interference of the $gg\to \Phi \to t\bar t$ signal with the $gg\to t \bar t$ continuum QCD background and show that in the presence of standard fermions only in the $gg\to \Phi$ loops, it is destructive causing a dip in the $t \bar t$ mass distribution. Including additional vector-like quarks leads to a different picture as peaks followed by dips can then occur. We use the absence of such effects in ATLAS and CMS data to constrain models of the production and decays of the $\Phi$ state(s).

Application of CrAlN coatings on carbide substrates in routing of MDF

We calculate the one-loop induced couplings of two gaugino–like neutralinos to the Z and Higgs bosons in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. These couplings, which vanish at the tree level, can be generated through loops involving fermions and sfermions. We show that, while the neutralino contribution to the invisible Z boson decay width remains small, the loop induced couplings to the lightest Higgs boson might be sufficiently large to yield a rate of invisible decaysof this Higgs boson that should be detectable at future e + e − colliders. We also study the implications of these couplings for direct searches of Dark Matter and show that they can modify appreciably the neutralino–nucleon elastic cross section for some parameter range.

Loop induced Higgs and Z boson couplings to Neutralinos and implications for collider and Dark Matter searches

In supersymmetric theories, the decays of the neutral $\mathrm{CP}$-even and $\mathrm{CP}$-odd as well as the charged Higgs bosons into scalar quarks, in particular into top and bottom squarks, can be dominant if they are kinematically allowed. We calculate the QCD corrections to these decay modes in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model, including all quark mass terms and squark mixing. These corrections turn out to be rather large, altering the decay widths by an amount which can be larger than 50%. The corrections can be either positive or negative, and depend strongly on the mass of the gluino. We also discuss the QCD corrections to the decays of heavy scalar quarks into light scalar quarks and Higgs bosons.
