TL;DR: In this paper, a search for lepton-flavor-violating τ decays into three leptons (electrons or muons) using 782 fb-1 of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+ e- collider is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a general subtraction scheme, STRIPPER (SecToR Improved Phase sPacE for real Radiation), is derived for the evaluation of next-tonext-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD contributions from double-real radiation to processes with at least two particles in the final state at leading order.
405 citations
TL;DR: For a positive gravity induced anomalous dimension A λ > 0, the running of the quartic scalar self interaction at scales beyond the Planck mass is determined by a fixed point at zero as mentioned in this paper.
389 citations
TL;DR: The ALPS experiment as discussed by the authors runs a Light Shining through a Wall (LSW) experiment to search for photon oscillations into weakly interacting sub-eV Particles (WISPs) often predicted by extensions of the Standard Model.
375 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed the statefinder analysis and Om ( z ) diagnostic to two concrete f (T ) models, i.e., f(T ) = α ( − T ) n and f( T ) = − α T ( 1 − e p T 0 / T ), and found that a crossing of the phantom divide line is impossible for both models.
336 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) was applied to a particle in a one-dimensional box and it was shown that the box length must be quantized in terms of a fundamental length, which could be interpreted as a signal of fundamental discreteness of space itself.
328 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple criterion for quark confinement based on the IR behaviour of ghost and gluon propagators was proposed, and the order-parameter potential was derived from the knowledge of Landau-gauge correlation functions with the aid of the functional RG.

TL;DR: In this paper, a family of nonrelativistic Yang-Mills gauge theories in D+1 dimensions whose free-field limit exhibits quantum critical behavior with gapless excitations and dynamical critical exponent z=2 was presented.
TL;DR: In this article, the structure of long distance (LD) contributions to the CP-violating parameter ϵ K, that generally affect both the absorptive ( Γ 12 ) and the dispersive ( M 12 ) parts of the K 0 − K ¯ 0 mixing amplitude, was analyzed.

TL;DR: In this article, the rst observation at more than 1.5 million square kilometres was reported, and the first observation at a more than 3 million square km was made by the electron anti-neutrinos.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify a submodel within the Skyrme-type low-energy effective action which does have a Bogomolny bound and exact Bogomolnny solutions, and therefore, at least at the classical level, reproduces the nuclear masses by construction.
TL;DR: Odake et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a new set of infinitely many shape invariant potentials and the corresponding exceptional (X l ) Laguerre polynomials.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the inclusive charged particle transverse momentum distribution in proton-proton collisions at root s = 900 GeV at the LHC using the ALICE detector.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors numerically constructed asymptotically anti-de Sitter charged black hole solutions of (4 + 1)-dimensional SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills theory that, for suciently low temperature, develop vector hair.
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of Born-Infeld electrodynamics on the holographic superconductors in the background of a Schwarzschild-AdS black hole spacetime were studied.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use the Einstein-Cartan-Kibble-Sciama (ECKS) theory of gravity to explain why our universe appears spatially flat, homogeneous and isotropic.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors calculate the entanglement entropy for a sphere and a massless scalar field in any dimensions and show that the reduced density matrix is expressed in terms of the infinitesimal generator of conformal transformations keeping the sphere fixed.
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the extended Horava gravity model does not suffer from a strong coupling problem and that it yields a phenomenologically viable, renormalizable and weakly coupled model of quantum gravity.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an M-theory derivation of the duality between two-dimensional conformal field theories and N = 2 superconformal gauge theories in four dimensions.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the solution to the cosmological vacuum energy puzzle is linked to the infrared sector of the effective theory of gravity interacting with standard model fields, with QCD fields specifically.
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the 6-point matrix elements of D 4 R 4 and D 6 R 4 in N = 8 supergravity have non-vanishing single-soft scalar limits, and therefore these operators violate the continuous E 7 ( 7 ) symmetry.
TL;DR: The OPERA neutrino detector in the underground Gran Sasso Laboratory (LNGS) has been designed to perform the first detection of neutrinos oscillations in direct appearance mode through the study of the $
u_mu\rightarrow
u_\tau$ channel.
TL;DR: In this article, the average cross-section to produce b-flavoured or anti-b-flavaoured hadrons is (75.3 +/- 5.4 +/- 13.0) microbarns.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors constructed renormalizable actions for the scalar field and the gauge field at a Lifshitz point characterized by the dynamical critical exponent z. And they showed that even though the theories are UV complete, the speed of light is related to the momentum by z (k / M z − 1 which can go to infinity in the UV limit for z ⩾ 2.
TL;DR: In this paper, the free neutron lifetime τ n was measured by storage of ultra-cold neutrons (UCN) in a Fomblin coated UCN trap of in situ variable size.
TL;DR: In this paper, the entropic force formalism was applied to cosmology, and it was shown that there is an additional term in the Friedmann equation, which can be identified as holographic dark energy.
