Pharmacological Modulators of Tau Aggregation and Spreading.

TL;DR: A stronger understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved, and the properties of the substances developed to modulate them, will lead to the development of safer and better strategies for the treatment of tauopathies.

Documentation of TauSpinner algorithms: program for simulating spin effects in $$\uptau $$ τ -lepton production at LHC

TL;DR: The TauSpinner program as mentioned in this paper can be used to modify spin/decay matrix element effects in any sample, without the need for regenerating events, and it relies on the kinematics of outgoing particles, including lepton(s) and decay products.

Documentation of TauSpinner algorithms -- program for simulating spin effects in tau-lepton production at LHC

TL;DR: TauSpinner as discussed by the authors is a tool to modify tau$spin effects in any sample, also production matrix elements can be modified with its help, the general principle of TauSpinner algorithm rely on the kinematic of outgoing particles (or jets) only, and to average over all possible initial states accordingly to assumed parton distributions and cross-sections.

- 01 Aug 2014 - 
TL;DR: The review as discussed by the authors summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology using data from previous editions, plus 3,283 new measurements from 899 Japers, including the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons and baryons.

The automated computation of tree-level and next-to-leading order differential cross sections, and their matching to parton shower simulations

TL;DR: MadGraph5 aMC@NLO as discussed by the authors is a computer program capable of handling all these computations, including parton-level fixed order, shower-matched, merged, in a unified framework whose defining features are flexibility, high level of parallelisation and human intervention limited to input physics quantities.

PYTHIA 6.4 Physics and Manual

TL;DR: The Pythia program as mentioned in this paper can be used to generate high-energy-physics ''events'' (i.e. sets of outgoing particles produced in the interactions between two incoming particles).

The anti-$k_t$ jet clustering algorithm

TL;DR: The anti-k-t algorithm as mentioned in this paper behaves like an idealised cone algorithm, in that jets with only soft fragmentation are conical, active and passive areas are equal, the area anomalous dimensions are zero, the non-global logarithms are those of a rigid boundary and the Milan factor is universal.
