A facility to search for hidden particles at the CERN SPS: the SHiP physics case.

Sergey Alekhin, +95 more
- 24 Oct 2016 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the SHiP experiment has a unique potential to discover new physics and can directly probe a number of solutions of beyond the standard model puzzles, such as neutrino masses, baryon asymmetry of the Universe, dark matter, and inflation.

Yi Cai, +5 more
- 09 May 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider a number of representative Seesaw scenarios as phenomenological benchmarks, including the characteristic Type I, II, and III Seeaw mechanisms, their extensions and hybridizations, as well as radiative constructions.

Searching for long-lived particles beyond the Standard Model at the Large Hadron Collider

Juliette Alimena, +216 more
- 02 Sep 2020 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey of the current state of LLP searches at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and chart a path for the development of LLP searches into the future, both in the upcoming Run 3 and at the high-luminosity LHC.

Search for heavy Majorana neutrinos with the ATLAS detector in pp collisions at √s 8 TeV

Georges Aad, +2882 more
- 29 Jul 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a search for heavy Majorana neutrinos in events containing a pair of high-p(T) leptons of the same charge and high p(t) jets is presented, which is consistent with the background-only hypothesis based on the Standard Model expectation.

PYTHIA 6.4 Physics and Manual

Torbjörn Sjöstrand, +2 more

The anti-$k_t$ jet clustering algorithm

Matteo Cacciari, +2 more
- 16 Apr 2008 - 
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.

Neutrino Mass and Spontaneous Parity Nonconservation

Rabindra N. Mohapatra, +1 more
- 07 Apr 1980 - 
TL;DR: In weak-interaction models with spontaneous parity nonconservation, this article obtained the following formula for the neutrino mass, valid for each lepton generation, which relates the maximality of observed parity non-conservation at low energies to the smallness of neutrinos masses.
