Search for top-squark pairs decaying into Higgs or Z bosons in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV

Vardan Khachatryan, +2130 more
- 07 Sep 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a search for supersymmetry through the direct pair production of top squarks, with Higgs (H) or Z bosons in the decay chain, is performed using a data sample of proton-proton collisions at View the MathML sources=8 TeV collected in 2012 with the CMS detector at the LHC.

Some geometrical and Topological Problems in Polymer Physics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss some problems of polymer physics which require use of the geometrical and topological methods for their solution, and select some problems to provide some balanced view between real physical situations and the mathematical methods which are required for their understanding.

New variant of N = 4 superconformal mechanics

TL;DR: In this article, a new model of nonrelativistic N = 4 superconformal mechanics is proposed, which combines the worldline dilaton with the fields parametrizing the R-symmetry coset S2 ~ SU(2)/U(1).

Naturalness Under Stress

TL;DR: Naturalness has for many years been a guiding principle in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model, particularly for understanding the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking as mentioned in this paper. But the discovery of the Higgs particle at 125 GeV, accompanied by the exclusion of many types of new physics expected in natural models, has called the principle into question.

Higgs boson masses in the complex NMSSM at one-loop level

TL;DR: In this article, the one-loop corrections to the neutral Higgs boson masses in the complex NMSSM in a Feynman diagrammatic approach adopting a mixed renormalization scheme based on on-shell and DR conditions were calculated.

Chiral-symmetry breakdown in large-N chromodynamics

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that in the limit of a large number of colors, under reasonable assumptions, this symmetry group must spontaneously break down to diagonal σ(n) under chiral conditions.

On constrained instantons

TL;DR: In this article, a simple method is presented for doing systematic constrained instanton calculations in models such as φ4 or Higgs theories where the presence of a mass term prevents the existence of a classical solution.
