TL;DR: In this article, a search for top squark pair production in pp collisions at root s = 13 TeV is performed using events with a single isolated electron or muon, jets, and a large transverse momentum imbalance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a critical discussion of quantum corrections, renormalisation, and the computation of the beta functions and the effective potential in Higgs inflation, and show that the Jordan and Einstein frames are compatible if all mass scales are transformed between the two frames.

TL;DR: In this article, an update of the global fit of the Standard Model electroweak sector to latest experimental results is presented, including new kinematic top quark and $W$ boson mass measurements from the LHC, a $\sin^2\theta^{\ell}_{\mathrm{eff}}$ result from the Tevatron, and a new evaluation of the hadronic contribution to $\alpha(M_Z^2)$.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of RGE-induced operator running and mixing effects on measurements performed in the context of an Effective Field Theory extension of the SM was studied and a general analysis strategy was proposed.

TL;DR: A search for a standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a top-quark pair and decaying to bottom quarks is presented and the results are presented in terms of the measured signal strength modifier.

TL;DR: The Gelfant 4 toolkit as discussed by the authors is a toolkit for simulating the passage of particles through matter, including a complete range of functionality including tracking, geometry, physics models and hits.

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).

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.

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.
