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.

Calculation of the axion mass based on high-temperature lattice quantum chromodynamics

TL;DR: This work determines the axion mass using lattice QCD, assuming that these particles are the dominant component of dark matter, and determines the universal axionic angle that corresponds to the initial condition of the authors' Universe.

- 23 Jan 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this article, an alignment between the global angular momentum of a non-central collision and the spin of emitted particles is presented, revealing that the fluid produced in heavy ion collisions is the most vortical system so far observed.

Performance of electron reconstruction and selection with the CMS detector in proton-proton collisions at √s = 8 TeV

Khachatryan, +2121 more
TL;DR: In this article, the performance and strategies used in electron reconstruction and selection at CERN LHC are presented based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns, collected in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV.

FLAG Review 2019

TL;DR: In this article, a review of lattice results related to pion, kaon, D-meson, neutral kaon mixing, B-meon, and nucleon physics with the aim of making them easily accessible to the nuclear and particle physics communities is presented.

Physics reach of the XENON1T dark matter experiment

Elena Aprile, +115 more
TL;DR: In this article, the expected sensitivity of the Xenon1T experiment to the spin-independent WIMP-nucleon interaction cross section was investigated based on Monte Carlo predictions of the electronic and nuclear recoil backgrounds.
