Pre-heating in the framework of massive gravity
Abstract In this paper we propose a mechanism of natural pre-heating of our universe by introducing an inflaton field dependent mass term for the gravitational wave for a specific class of massive gravity theory. For any single field inflationary...

Relativistic causality and position space renormalization
Abstract The paper gives a historical survey of the causal position space renormalization with a special attention to the role of Raymond Stora in the development of this subject. Renormalization is reduced to subtracting the pole term in...

Taming systematic uncertainties at the LHC with the central limit theorem
Abstract We study the simplifications occurring in any likelihood function in the presence of a large number of small systematic uncertainties. We find that the marginalisation of these uncertainties can be done analytically by means of second-order ...

Electron and Photon Reconstruction with the ATLAS Detector
Abstract Excellent performance in the reconstruction of electrons and photons with the ATLAS detector at the LHC is a key requirement for realizing the full physics potential of ATLAS, both in searches for new physics and in precision measurements....

SUSY fits with full LHC Run I data
Abstract We present the latest results from the MasterCode collaboration on supersymmetric models, in particular on the CMSSM, the NUHM1, the NUHM2 and the pMSSM. We combine the data from LHC Run I with astrophysical observables, flavor and...

Meson's correlation functions in a nuclear medium
Abstract We investigate meson's spectrum, decay constant and form factor in a nuclear medium through holographic two- and three-point correlation functions. To describe a nuclear medium composed of protons and neutrons, we consider a hard wall model ...

Oscillating asymmetric sneutrino dark matter from the maximally U(1)L supersymmetric inverse seesaw
Abstract The inverse seesaw mechanism provides an attractive approach to generate small neutrino mass, which origins from a tiny U ( ...

Measurement of the top quark mass and couplings at Linear Colliders
Abstract Future precision studies of the Standard Model require excellent knowledge of the top quark mass, to an accuracy of 100 MeV or better. This mass can be measured in a way that is free of any ambiguities from soft QCD by locating the...

The spinning Kerr-black-hole-mirror bomb: A lower bound on the radius of the reflecting mirror
Abstract The intriguing superradiant amplification phenomenon allows an orbiting scalar field to extract rotational energy from a spinning Kerr black hole. Interestingly, the energy extraction rate can grow exponentially in time if the...

Inert Higgs Doublet Dark Matter in Type-II Seesaw
Abstract Weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) as a dark matter (DM) candidate is further inspired by recent AMS-02 data, which confirm the excess of positron fraction observed earlier by PAMELA and Fermi-LAT experiments. Additionally, the...

Measurement of the Higgs Boson Coupling to the Top Quark and the Higgs Boson Self-coupling at the ILC
Abstract The International Linear Collider is a proposed 50 km electron-positron collider in the Kitakami hills in northern Japan. Precision measurements of Higgs properties and direct searches for new physics will complement the LHC experiments and ...

Heavy-ion physics with high-energy e-A scattering
Abstract In recent years the physics of heavy-ion collisions has seen a phenomenal increase of interest from both the experimental and theoretical particle physics community. In particular the field has been pushed forward by the proton-lead and...

ICHEP 2014 Summary: Theory Status after the First LHC Run
Abstract A brief overview of the main highlights discussed at ICHEP 2014 is presented. The experimental data confirm that the scalar boson discovered at the LHC couples to other particles as predicted in the Standard Model. This constitutes a great...

Electromagnetic Polarizabilities of Mesons
Abstract The Chiral Perturbation Theory (CHPT) has been very successful in describing low-energy hadronic properties in the non-perturbative regime of Quantum Chromodynamics. The results of ChPT, many of which are currently under active experimental ...

Update of the electroweak precision fit, interplay with Higgs-boson signal strengths and model-independent constraints on new physics
Abstract We present updated global fits of the Standard Model and beyond to electroweak precision data, taking into account recent progress in theoretical calculations and experimental measurements. From the fits, we derive model-independent...

Constraints on dark matter and future observational strategies with gamma-ray space experiments
Abstract Detection of gamma rays and cosmic rays from the annihilation or decay of dark matter particles is a promising method for identifying dark matter, understanding its intrinsic properties, and mapping its distribution in the universe. I will...
