Search for pair production of up-type vector-like quarks and for four-top-quark events in final states with multiple b-jets with the ATLAS detector

doi:10.1007/JHEP07(2018)089

Abstract:

A search for pair production of up-type vector-like quarks (T) with a significant branching ratio into a top quark and either a Standard Model Higgs boson or a Z boson is presented. The same analys ...

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential for observing gravitational waves from cosmological phase transitions with LISA was investigated, based on current state-of-the-art simulations of sound waves in the cosmic fluid after the phase transition completes.

TL;DR: Combined 95% confidence-level upper limits are set on the production cross section for a range of vectorlike quark scenarios, significantly improving upon the reach of the individual searches.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a mechanism that allows for sizeable flavour violation in quark-lepton currents, while suppressing flavour changing neutral currents, and applied it to the recently proposed 4321 renormalizable model to accommodate the current experimental anomalies in B-meson decays.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Standard Model (SM) with the addition of a ε-symmetric gauge symmetry and a complete fourth family of quarks and leptons was considered.

TL;DR: The 2HDM+a model proposed in this article provides the simplest theoretically consistent extension of the DM pseudoscalar simplified model and has been shown to have a rich and intricate pattern of mono-X signatures and the relevance of other DM as well as non-DM experiments.

TL;DR: A new technique to generate scattering amplitudes at one loop using tensor-integral and Ossola-Papadopoulos-Pittau reduction results in a fully flexible, very fast, and numerically stable one-loop generator.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first set of parton distribution functions (PDFs) determined with a methodology validated by a closure test is presented, which is based on LO, NLO and NNLO QCD theory and also includes electroweak corrections.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare different procedures for combining fixed-order tree-level matrix-element generators with parton showers and find that although similar results are obtained in all cases, there are important differences.

TL;DR: In this paper, the decay of the massive vector bosons into leptons in the Fermilab Tevatron has been studied and a comparison is made with earlier work and cross section results are presented.

TL;DR: The breaking of electroweak symmetry, and origin of the associated "weak scale" vweak = 1/ q 2 √ 2GF = 175 GeV, may be due to a new strong interaction as mentioned in this paper.
