    Luciano Ramello (INFN and Univ Piemonte Orientale)
    07/06/2011, 09:55
    The ALICE experiment at the LHC has studied p-p collisions at several center-of-mass energies (namely, sqrt(s)= 0.9, 2.36, 2.76 and 7 TeV). Although the main focus of the experiment is on the study of nuclear collisions, many aspects of p-p physics can be addressed by ALICE. In particular, soft observables (charged hadron multiplicity, identified particle spectra and ratios, Bose-Einstein...

    Nicolas Borghini (Univ. of Bielefeld)
    07/06/2011, 14:50
    The extended kinematical reach in the collisions of heavy ions at the LHC opens several possibilities: new phenomena might emerge, while "known" observables are cast under a new light. I shall present a few examples of such effects, as well as tentative conclusions that could be drawn from the 2010 Pb+Pb run.

    07/06/2011, 15:15
    The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) provided the first p+p collisions in the period of November-December 2009. Since then, a large data sample has been recorded by all LHC experiments. This event sample allows us to study more and more exotic particles and events.

    A broad program of measurements using heavy ion collisions is underway in ATLAS, with the aim of studying the properties of QCD matter at high temperatures and densities. With the factor of 14 increase in collision energy compared to RHIC data, significant insight has already been gained using dijet asymmetry measurements, but a more detailed study of both high pT probes and global features...

    Stephen Farry (UC Dublin)
    07/06/2011, 15:55
    We report on measurements of W+, W– and Z0 production, using data taken by the LHCb experiment at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV during 2010. The electroweak bosons are reconstructed by selecting decays to muonic final states. The cross-sections are measured within the region 2 < eta < 4.5, using muons of transverse momenta exceeding 20 GeV/c, as well as differentially as a function of lepton pseudorapidity...

  27. 71. Jet Reconstruction and the Evolution of Background Effects in Pb-Pb Collisions Measured with the ALICE Experiment at the LHC (15'+5')
    Bastian BATHEN (UNIV. OF MÜNSTER)
    07/06/2011, 17:15
    The suppression of high-pT hadron production in central heavy-ion events compared to proton-proton collisions, known as jet quenching, reflects the parton energy loss in a hot and dense medium which is produced in heavy-ion collisions. The reconstruction of jets provides a more direct link to the initial hard-scattered partons and its modified fragmentation process. The measurements in...

  28. 90. Multijets and the internal structure of jets measurements at ATLAS (15'+5')
    Bilge Demirkoz (IFAE, Barcelona)
    07/06/2011, 17:15
    Studies of the internal structure of jets, and of events with high jet multiplicities, provide a stringent test of QCD. These important standard model process may also hide, or reveal, new physics. We present measurements of multijet cross sections and distributions, of the subjet structure in high-pT jets, and of the distribution of charged particle inside jets.

    James William Monk (DPA University College London)
    07/06/2011, 17:35
    Particle multiplicities and correlations are an important feature of physics at the LHC. They provide an insight into the environment in which all ATLAS physics measurements are performed. Measurements of charge and neutral particle multiplicities and of two-particle correlations with the ATLAS detector, made as a variety of centre-of-mass energies, are presented. These measurements are...

    We present measurements of the forward (3 < |eta| < 5) energy flow in minimum bias events and in events with either hard jets or W and Z bosons produced at central rapidities, as well as measurements of the inclusive forward jet cross section and of associated production of forward and central jets. Results are compared to MC models with different parameter tunes for the description of the...

    07/06/2011, 19:00
    We report on studies of exclusive dimuon production, using LHCb experimental data. Muon pairs can be exclusively produced by two-photon fusion (a QED process ideally suited to obtaining a precise integrated luminosity measure), or by resonance production. We show results for exclusive dimuon production, and first observations of the exclusive J/Psi, Psi(2S) and Chi_c states, obtained with 37...

    Johannes Albrecht (CERN)
    09/06/2011, 14:30
    Rare decays of the B and Bs mesons are sensitive indirect probes of New Physics. In particular, the search for B(s) --> μ+μ– decays provides information on the presence of new (pseudo-)scalar particles, while the angular analysis of decays like B --> K*μ+μ– provides information on possible new vector-axial contributions. Furthermore radiative decays like Bs --> Φγ provide valuable...

    Hadron inclusive spectra in pp collisions are analyzed within the soft QCD (SQCD), the quark-gluon string model, and the perturbative QCD (PQCD). It is shown that the SQCD results in the satisfactory description of the experimental data on the inclusive spectra of light hadrons like pions and kaons at transverse momenta Pt not larger than 1-2 GeV/c. We discuss some difficulties to apply the...

    Greig Cowan (EPFL)
    09/06/2011, 15:35
    The determination of the CP-violating phase Φs in Bs0 -> J/ Ψ Φ decays is one of the key goals of the LHCb experiment. Its value is predicted to be very small in the Standard Model but can be significantly enhanced in many models of new physics. To perform the first LHCb analysis of Φs on 2010 data at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, many milestones needed to be achieved first, such as the...

    LHCb has reconstructed large samples of open charm events using 37 pb–1 of LHCb data collected in 2010. CP violation in charm is an excellent probe for New Physics due to the smallness of the Standard Model predictions. The analyses of D0 decays into two-body final states are presented, including time-dependent measurements of CP violation and mixing via the parameters AΓ and yCP and the...

  70. 108. The third generation quark sector in warped models LHC predictions from LEP/Tevatron anomalies (15' + 5')
    Gregory Moreau (LPT Orsay)
    09/06/2011, 17:40
    Since a decade, there have been extensive developments about an alternative to super- symmetry: the scenarios with warped extra dimensions. Those constitute a new paradigm in the sense that they are dual, through the AdS/CFT correspondence, to composite Higgs models. These scenarios predict strong deviations from the Standard Model mainly in the bottom and top quark sector. In that sense, the...

    Qaisar Shafi (Bartol research Institute, University of Delaware)

    Third family (t-b-tau) Yukawa unification is predicted in a class of grand unified models based on SO(10) as well as its subgroup H = SU(4) x SU(2) x S (2). This can lead to some surprising conclusions for the low energy MSSM phenomenology. For instance, in SO(10) the gluino turns out to be the lightest colored sparticle, while the gauge symmetry H can yield a gluino NLSP scenario. A search...
