TLDR
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.
Abstract
The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 3,283 new measurements from 899 Japers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons, and baryons. We summarize searches for hypothetical particles such as heavy neutrinos, supersymmetric and technicolor particles, axions, dark photons, etc. All the particle properties and search limits are listed in Summary Tables. We also give numerous tables, figures, formulae, and reviews of topics such as Supersymmetry, Extra Dimensions, Particle Detectors, Probability, and Statistics. Among the 112 reviews are many that are new or heavily revised including those on: Dark Energy, Higgs Boson Physics, Electroweak Model, Neutrino Cross Section Measurements, Monte Carlo Neutrino Generators, Top Quark, Dark Matter, Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking, Accelerator Physics of Colliders, High-Energy Collider Parameters, Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, Astrophysical Constants and Cosmological Parameters.

Measurement of the WZ production cross section in pp collisions at s=13 TeV

Vardan Khachatryan, +2287 more
- 10 Mar 2017 - 
TL;DR: The WZ production cross section in proton-proton collisions at squarert(s) = 13 TeV is measured with the CMS experiment at the LHC using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 inverse femtobarns.

Semileptonic decays of $B_c$ meson to S-wave charmonium states in the perturbative QCD approach

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the semileptonic decays of a meson to the S-wave ground and radially excited 2S and 3S charmonium states with the perturbative QCD approach.

Black Holes at the Large Hadron Collider

TL;DR: The correlation between the BH mass and its temperature, deduced from the energy spectrum of the decay products, can test Hawking's evaporation law and determine the number of large new dimensions and the scale of quantum gravity.

Non-Extensive Statistics, New Solution to the Cosmological Lithium Problem

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the impact of non-extensive Tsallis statistics (deviating from the MB) on thermonuclear reaction rates involved in standard models of BBN and showed that the predicted primordial abundances of D, $4$He, and $^7$Li agree very well with those observed ones by introducing a nonextensive parameter $q$.

Jet shapes for boosted jet two-prong decays from first-principles

TL;DR: In this article, a first-principles study of an important class of jet shapes, which put a constraint on the subjet mass, is presented, and the effect of the choice of axis for N -subjettiness and jet de-clustering is explored.
