Searches for extra dimensions with the ATLAS and CMS detectors
Abstract Models with extra spatial dimensions have been proposed to explain the large apparent hierarchy between the Electroweak and Planck scales. Such models predict a host of different new phenomena observable at the energy scale in reach with...

The NEXT experiment
Abstract NEXT (Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC) is an experiment to search neutrinoless double beta decay processes ( β β 0 ν ...

Upper bound on the center-of-mass energy of the collisional Penrose process
Abstract Following the interesting work of Bañados, Silk, and West (2009) [6], it is repeatedly stated in the physics literature that the center-of-mass energy, E ...

The Higgs mechanism for undergraduate students
Abstract The Higgs mechanism gives mass to particles as a result of the interaction between massless particles and a scalar field. In this version it is reformulated in a purely classical form, using a simple formalism suitable for undergraduate...

The light-yield response of a NE-213 liquid-scintillator detector measured using 2–6MeV tagged neutrons
Abstract The response of a NE-213 liquid-scintillator detector has been measured using tagged neutrons from 2 to 6MeV originating from an Am/Be neutron source. The neutron energies were determined using the time-of-flight technique. Pulse-shape...

Dynamically stable nanostructures in heavy-ion implanted silica glass
Abstract Previously reported experimental data have been used for kinetic analysis of the dynamically stable structure formation under implantation of 60 keV Au– or Cu– ions into silica glass. The kinetics has been analyzed in the frame of the...

Searches for invisible decay modes of the Higgs boson with the CMS detector
Abstract A search for Higgs boson invisible decay modes has been carried out in events where the Higgs boson is produced in association with a Z boson as well as through vector boson fusion. In the associated production search, electron, muon and...

750 GeV diphoton resonance and electric dipole moments
Abstract We examine the implication of the recently observed 750 GeV diphoton excess for the electric dipole moments of the neutron and electron. If the excess is due to a spin zero resonance which couples to photons and gluons through the loops of...

An alternative scenario for critical scalar field collapse in AdS3
Abstract In the context of gravitational collapse and black hole formation, we reconsider the problem to describe, analytically, the critical collapse of a massless and minimally coupled scalar field in 2 + 1 gravity.

Searches for production of two Higgs bosons using the CMS detector
Abstract Four searches for the production of two Higgs bosons using the CMS detector are presented. The analyses are performed on pp collision data collected during the Run I of the LHC at s ...

Understanding electroweak physics in the Standard Model and beyond
Abstract This contribution discusses the current status of tests of the electroweak theory and some of their essential theoretical ingredients. At medium and low energies, electroweak precision measurements are sensitive to high-scale physics...

Taylor's theorem for matrix functions with applications to condition number estimation
Abstract We derive an explicit formula for the remainder term of a Taylor polynomial of a matrix function. This formula generalizes a known result for the remainder of the Taylor polynomial for an analytic function of a complex scalar. We...

A colored KNT neutrino model
Abstract We propose a radiative seesaw model at the three-loop level, in which quarks, leptons, leptoquark bosons, and a Majorana fermion of dark matter candidate are involved in the neutrino loop. Analyzing neutrino oscillation data including all...

High-Rate Capable Floating Strip Micromegas
Abstract We report on the optimization of discharge insensitive floating strip Micromegas (MICRO-MEsh GASeous) detectors, fit for use in high-energy muon spectrometers. The suitability of these detectors for particle tracking is shown in...
