TL;DR: In this paper, the Higgs sector of a SO(10) grand unified theory was studied and the see-saw mechanism was used to lower the breaking scale, allowing the d = 6 proton decay operators to be comparable in magnitude to the d=5 ones.

TL;DR: This paper presents how metaheuristics can be used in order to minimize the total tardiness for a given set of customer orders, and proposes two heuristics based on Iterated Local Search and Attribute-Based Hill Climber, both based on a simple tabu search principle.

TL;DR: A search for the standard model Higgs boson decaying to W+W- in pp collisions at squarert(s) = 7 TeV is reported in this article, where data are collected at the LHC with the CMS detector, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 inverse femtobarns.
Abstract: A search for the standard model Higgs boson decaying to W+W- in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV is reported. The data are collected at the LHC with the CMS detector, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 inverse femtobarns. The W+W- candidates are selected in events with two charged leptons and large missing transverse energy. No significant excess of events above the standard model background expectations is observed, and upper limits on the Higgs boson production relative to the standard model Higgs expectation are derived. The standard model Higgs boson is excluded in the mass range 129-270 GeV at 95% confidence level.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the improvement in noise correlation functions (NCFs) gained by dividing ambient seismic records into shorter, overlapping time windows before correlation and stacking (Welch's method), and compare waveform convergence of short duration NCF stacks (e.g. 2, 5, 15 and 50 d stacks) towards the long-term (365 d) NCF stack.
Abstract: SUMMARY
Here, we evaluate the improvement in noise correlation functions (NCFs) gained by dividing ambient seismic records into shorter, overlapping time windows before correlation and stacking (Welch's method). We compare waveform convergence of short duration NCF stacks (e.g. 2, 5, 15 and 50 d stacks) towards the long-term (365 d) NCF stack. We observe short duration NCF improvement when applying Welch's method for non–pre-processed and running normalized time-series and short duration NCF degradation when applied to a ‘one-bit’ normalized time-series. Surprisingly, non–pre-processed time-series provides the quickest convergence to a robust (year-long) NCF. Because of the simplicity of Welch's method, the improved NCF convergence and a minimal increase in computation, we recommend applying Welch's method for future ambient seismic field analyses. Using this approach will likely improve future NCF analyses, particularly for studies with limited duration recordings, high levels of intermittent local or site noise and studies attempting to evaluate temporal variations in subsurface structure.

TL;DR: Bounds on the structure of quartic vector-boson interactions are given in the framework of dimension-eight effective field theory operators, as well as limits on the production of doubly charged Higgs bosons.
Abstract: A study of vector boson scattering in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV is presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.4 inverse femtobarns collected with the CMS detector. Candidate events are selected with exactly two leptons of the same charge, two jets with large rapidity separation and dijet mass, and moderate missing transverse energy. The signal region is expected to be dominated by electroweak same-sign W-boson pair production. The observation agrees with the standard model prediction. The observed significance is 2.0 standard deviations, where a significance of 3.1 standard deviations is expected based on the standard model. Cross section measurements for W+/- W+/- and WZ processes in the fiducial region are reported. Bounds on the structure of quartic vector-boson interactions are given in the framework of dimension-eight effective field theory operators, as well as limits on the production of doubly-charged Higgs bosons.
