Vacuum stability and the MSSM Higgs mass

TL;DR: In this article, the conditions under which such exotic vacua arise were investigated, and the tunnelling rates to them were computed, providing new constraints on the scalar top quarks of the MSSM.

Dark Radiation and Dark Matter in Large Volume Compactifications

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the axionic superpartner of the modulus is produced by the decomposition and it can account for the dark radiation suggested by observations, while the decay through the Giudice-Masiero term gives the dominant contribution to the total decay rate.

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.
