High precision determination of the gluon fusion Higgs boson cross-section at the LHC

TL;DR: In this paper, the Higgs boson cross-section in the gluon-fusion production mode at the LHC was derived based on a perturbative expansion through N3LO in QCD, in an effective theory where the top-quark is assumed to be infinitely heavy, while all other Standard Model quarks are massless.

Constraints on the spin-parity and anomalous HVV couplings of the Higgs boson in proton collisions at 7 and 8 TeV

Vardan Khachatryan, +2117 more
- 13 Jul 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the spin-parity and tensor structure of the interactions of the recently discovered Higgs boson is performed using the H to ZZ, Z gamma*, gamma* gamma* to 4 l, H to WW to l nu l nu, and H to gamma gamma decay modes.

Effective Lagrangian for a light Higgs-like scalar

TL;DR: In this paper, the effective Lagrangian that describes a light Higgs-like boson was revisited to better clarify a few issues which were not exhaustively addressed in the previous literature.

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.

A Brief Introduction to PYTHIA 8.1

TL;DR: PYTHIA 8 represents a complete rewrite in C++, and does not yet in every respect replace the old code, but does contain some new physics aspects that should make it an attractive option especially for LHC physics studies.
