Measurement of the differential t(t)over-bar production cross section as a function of the jet mass and extraction of the top quark mass in hadronic decays of boosted top quarks

Jian Wang, Matthias Finger, Qian Wang, Yiming Li, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Matthias Wolf, Varun Sharma, Yi Zhang, Lei Zhang, Tian Cheng, Yixing Chen, Alexis Kalogeropoulos, Ioannis Papadopoulos, Hua Zhang, Siyuan Wang, Xin Chen, Michele Bianco, Sebastiana Gianì, Sun Hee Kim, Davide Di Croce, Jian Zhao, Rakesh Chawla, Jan Steggemann, Konstantin Androsov, Anna Mascellani, Federica Legger, Matteo Galli, Gabriele Grosso

A measurement of the jet mass distribution in hadronic decays of Lorentz-boosted top quarks is presented. The measurement is performed in the lepton + jets channel of top quark pair production (t (t) over bar) events, where the lepton is an electron or muo ...

Prospective constraints on Lorentz violation from ultrahigh-energy photon detection

Sergey Sibiryakov

We point out that violation of Lorentz invariance affects the interaction of high-energy photons with the Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field. In a certain parameter region this interaction becomes suppressed and the photons escape observation, passing t ...

A search for heavy long-lived staus in the LHCb detector at √s = 7 and 8 TeV

Thi Viet Nga La

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been producing pp collisions at 7 and 8 TeV since 2010 and promises a new era of discoveries in particle physics. One of its experiments, the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment, was constructed to study CP vi ...

Development of the Electromagnetic Calorimeter for the Precise Measurement of the Cosmic Ray Positron Fraction with PEBS

Lesya Shchutska

Since almost a century ago, it is known that a quarter of the energy density in the Universe is represented by the dark matter which has been seen only through gravitational interaction. Despite of intensive searches for a dark matter constituent in differ ...

Search for neutrino-induced cascades with five years of AMANDA data

Xiaoxia Bai, Mathieu Ribordy, Shirit Cohen

We report on the search for electromagnetic and hadronic showers ("cascades") produced by a diffuse flux of extraterrestrial neutrinos in the AMANDA neutrino telescope. Data for this analysis were recorded during 1001 days of detector livetime in the years ...
