We assume that the doubly charg ed component of such a triplet has a mass in the range of several 100 GeV\ , such that it is accessible at LHC. Its decay into like-sign leptons prov ides a clean experimental signature\, which allows for a direct test of th e neutrino mass matrix. By exploring the branching ratios of this decay in to leptons of various flavours\, we show that within this model the type o f the neutrino mass spectrum (normal\, inverted or quasi-degenerate) might actually be resolved at the LHC. Furthermore\, we show that within the Hi ggs triplet model for neutrino mass the decays of the doubly charged scala r into like-sign lepton pairs at the LHC provide a possibility to determin e the Majorana CP phases of the lepton mixing matrix.\n\nhttp://indico.cer n.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=28223 LOCATION:CERN 1-1-025 URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=28223 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Alternatives to DGLAP for DIS at small x DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20080214T100000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20080214T110000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130520T034733Z UID:indico-event-28376@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=28376 LOCATION:CERN 1-1-025 URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=28376 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Axionic Mirage Mediation DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20080306T100000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20080306T110000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130520T034733Z UID:indico-event-29855@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Part I: discussion of recent papers/events \n Part II: Talk by Masahiro Yamaguchi\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?c onfId=29855 LOCATION:CERN 1-1-025 URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=29855 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:What the Hell is Dipole Multiplication?

The Unhiggs can play a similar role as the Standard Model Higgs even though its gauge interacti ons are very non-standard.

In the talk\, I wil l review the Unhiggs scenario and present an alternative holographic formu lation [0810.4940]\, where the non-local action is obtained as a boundary effective action of a local higher dimensional gauge theory.

However\, different ways of resumming the perturbative s eries with the renormalisation group -- fixed-order (FOPT) vs. contour-imp roved\nperturbation theory (CIPT) -- lead to a systematic difference that becomes more pronounced as higher orders in the perturbative expansion are added.

For nucleon-nucleon s cattering\, the negativity of some of the low-energy interactions signals the presence of a spin-1 bound state: the deuteron. We connect the diverge nce of the dispersion integral to the "Sommerfeld enhancement" of the cros s-section for low-energy scattering. We also discuss how this illuminates potential pitfalls in using perturbative methods to understand the depende nce of the low-energy nuclear interaction on the masses of the light quark s.

The Higgs boson is insensitive to high energies be cause of supersymmetry and also because it is a pseudo-Goldstone boson of a global symmetry (referred to as “double protection” or “super-litt le Higgs” mechanism). A large shift in the Higgs quartic self coupling i s obtained via a non-decoupling D-term coming from an extra gauge group\, resulting in a Higgs that can be as heavy as 135 GeV with a tuning milder than 10%. With an appropriate choice of quantum numbers one can achieve th at the additional quartic is generated without a corresponding shift in th e Higgs mass\, thus preserving the double protection of the Higgs.

One has to control parametrization and generation of the phase space and appropriately take care of collinear and soft singularities. Fully differ ential distribution\, based on matrix element has to be provided. Such mat rix element can not be calculated directly\, but must be obtained using me thods based on reshufling of perturbation expansion and/or approximations. As input one is at best limited to fixed oreder perturbative results. Oft en such results are not reilable all over the phase space too.\nIn the fol lowing we will present how spin amplitudes are used in construction of dis tribution used in PHOTOS Monte Carlo for QED bremsstrahlung corrections in decays of particles and resonances. Examples based on QED and scalar QED will be explained on example of W\,Z\,B and gamma* decays. They are intere sting because one can explore method derived from QED YFS exponentiation but used also for scalar QED where results of perturbative calculation mu st be supported by agreement with the data.\nPHOTOS is not based on confor mal symmetry\, its algorithm for phase-space is iterative but exact as wel l\, that is why it is compatible with Next to Leading Logarithms and offer s good example to study Monte Carlo methods.

The result is characterized by a faithful estimation o f uncertainties thanks to the use of the NNPDF methodology\, and is free o f model or theoretical assumptions other than the use of NLO perturbative QCD and exact sum rules. Better control of the uncertainties of the strang e and antistrange parton distributions allows us to reassess the determina tion of electroweak parameters from the NuTeV dimuon data. We perform a di rect determination of the |V_cd| and |V_cs| CKM matrix elements. In partic ular\, despite the large uncertainties which affect the strange PDFs\, our result for |V_cs| is more precise than any previous direct determination. We also reassess the uncertainty on the NuTeV determination of the Weinbe rg angle through the Paschos-Wolfenstein relation: we find that the very l arge uncertainties in the strange valence momentum fraction are sufficient to bring the NuTeV result into complete agreement with the results from p recision electroweak data.\narXiv:0906.1958\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/confe renceDisplay.py?confId=62311 LOCATION:CERN 1-1-025 URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=62311 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Colour-dressed one-loop amplitudes from generalised unitarity DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090813T090000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090813T100000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130520T034733Z UID:indico-event-66022@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=66022 LOCATION:CERN 1-1-025 URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=66022 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Non-Standard Higgs Decays DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090820T090000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090820T100000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130520T034733Z UID:indico-event-65705@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Part I: Discussion of recent papers\nPart II: Radovan Dermisek \n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=65705 LOCATION:CERN 1-1-025 URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=65705 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Top-quark and littlest-higgs don't mesh DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090917T090000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090917T100000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130520T034733Z UID:indico-event-65931@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:I will describe two recent results:\n1.

This suggests to organize bound state calculations acco rding to an expansion in hbar\, i.e.\, in the number of loops. I study QED and QCD bound states at lowest order in hbar\, which are analogous to usu al Born amplitudes. The absence of loops allows the use of retarded bounda ry conditions where particles only propagate forward in time\, facilitatin g a hamiltonian approach. The instantaneous A^0 field is determined by the equations of motion separately for each Fock component of the bound state . The field equations allow also a linear A^0 potential as a homogeneous\, non-perturbative solution. Stationarity of the action sets the direction of the ensuing constant electric field to be along the fermion pair separa tion in each Fock state. Applying this approach to relativistic quark-anti quark states in QCD results in a bound state equation which was previously proposed without derivation and shown to provide a reasonable description of the meson spectrum\, including linear Regge trajectories. The equal-ti me wave functions have unique Lorentz transformation properties\, which en sure the correct dependence of the bound state energy on the center-of-mas s momentum. \n\narXiv:0909.3045\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDispla y.py?confId=69005 LOCATION:CERN 1-1-025 URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=69005 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Distinguishing Dark Matter Stabilization Symmetries at the LHC DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20091022T090000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20091022T100000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130520T034733Z UID:indico-event-62310@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:If the LHC is relevant for dark matter\, we outline the variou s signals ATLAS and CMS can use to discern the underlying dark matter stab ilization symmetry.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=6 2310 LOCATION:CERN 1-1-025 URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=62310 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Treatment of QCD coupling in Evolution Equations DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20091210T100000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20091210T110000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130520T034733Z UID:indico-event-76060@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:The parametrization $\\alpha_s = \\alpha_s (Q^2)$ in the DGLAP evolution equations comes from the parametrization $\\alpha_s = \\alpha_s (k_T^2)$ in every rung of the ladder graphs.
