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.

Light dark photon and fermionic dark radiation for the Hubble constant and the structure formation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the cosmological effects of a dark sector model in which dark matter (DM) interacts with fermionic dark radiation (DR) through a light gauge boson (dark photon).
Journal ArticleDOI

Photoproduction of exotic baryon resonances

TL;DR: In this article, an interpretation of the heavier narrow state as a molecule composed of Σ c and D ¯ ⁎, and estimate its production cross section using vector dominance is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

An NLO+PS generator for \({\varvec{t \bar{t}}}\) and \({\varvec{W t}}\) production and decay including non-resonant and interference effects

TL;DR: In this paper, a Monte Carlo generator for top-quark pair production and decay at the LHC is presented, where spin correlations and off-shell effects in top-decay chains are described in terms of exact matrix elements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Implication of the 750 GeV diphoton resonance on two-Higgs-doublet model and its extensions with Higgs field

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the implication of the 750 GeV diphoton resonance on the two-Higgs doublet model by imposing various theoretical and experimental constraints, and showed that the production rate of the two Higgs-doublet model is smaller than the cross section observed at the LHC by 2 orders of magnitude.

Frontiers in nuclear astrophysics

TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of nuclei in diverse cosmic scenarios is reviewed, with a summary of the basic concepts involved before a discussion of the current status in each case is made.
