09:00 Recent Developments in Neutrino Astronomy in Ice and Water

Observing astrophysical neutrinos can provide a unique insight into the acceleration mechanism of cosmic ray sources: because neutrinos should be produced in hadronic interactions and are neither absorbed nor deflected so they point directly back to their sources. This talk will give a short overview of the field of neutrino astronomy, including a summary of recent results from the ANTARES detector in the Mediterranean and the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica, and will briefly discuss future projects including KM3NeT and PINGU. It will cover recent searches in IceCube for high-energy neutrinos (> 100 TeV), which have produced the first evidence for a neutrino flux beyond standard expectations from neutrinos generated by interactions of cosmic rays in the Earth's atmosphere. This includes the observation of events with energies above 1 PeV -- the highest energy neutrinos ever observed. The current status of these astrophysical neutrino searches and prospects for the future will be discussed.

09:30 Neutrinos from charm production in the atmosphere

Atmospheric neutrinos are produced in interactions of cosmic rays with Earth's atmosphere. At very high energy, the contribution from semi-leptonic decays of charmed hadrons, known as the prompt neutrino flux, dominates over the conventional flux from pion and kaon decays. This is due to the very short lifetime of the charmed hadrons, which therefore do not lose energy before they decay. The calculation of this process is difficult because the Bjorken-x at which the parton distribution functions are evaluated is very small. This is a region where QCD is not well understood, and large logaritms must be resummed. Available parton distribution functions are not known for such small x and extrapolations must be made. Theoretically, the fast rise of the structure functions for small x ultimately leads to parton saturation. We have previously (Enberg, Reno and Sarcevic, 2008) calculated the prompt flux including parton saturation effects in the QCD production cross section of charm quarks. This calculation has been used by e.g. the IceCube collaboration as a standard background. We are now updating this calculation to take into account the recent LHC data on the charm cross section, as well as recent theoretical developments in QCD. In this talk I will describe this update and some of the issues involved.

09:45 Anisotropy studies with the Pierre Auger Observatory

We report recent results of the distribution of the arrival directions of ultra high energy cosmic rays recorded by the surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory. We discuss the search for large scale anisotropies expressed in terms of dipolar and quadrupolar coefficients as a function of the right ascension and declination at the EeV energy scale. For cosmic rays at highest energies (above 55 EeV) we present an analysis of the correlation with active galactic nuclei drawn from the Veron-Cetty and Veron catalog. We also discuss a search for point sources of EeV neutrons in the Galaxy.

10:00 Hunting for cosmic neutrinos deep under the sea: The ANTARES experiment

More than one hundred years after the first observations of cosmic rays, problems connected with their origin and propagation have not been completely solved. Astrophysical objects such as Supernova Remnants, Active Galactic Nuclei, Quasars and Microquasars, which are likely sources of high energy cosmic rays and gamma rays, could emit high energy neutrinos as well. The detection and the study of their properties would shed light on production and acceleration mechanisms acting inside possible cosmic accelerators. Measuring the arrival direction and energy of such neutrinos requires very massive targets, whose size is far beyond those of present, conventional underground detectors. A possible solution is the use of the sea as a Cerenkov target-detector. ANTARES is the first undersea neutrino telescope. It has been built in the Mediterranean Sea by a large European collaboration and has been in data taking since 2008, demonstrating the feasibility of this technique. The detection principle, the sensitivity of the experiment and the results obtained so far will be presented.

10:15 First Light with the HAWC Gamma-Ray Observatory

The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Gamma-Ray Observatory (HAWC) is currently under construction 4,100 meters above sea level on the slope of Pico de Orizaba, Mexico. HAWC is a large field-of-view instrument capable of continuously monitoring the gamma-ray sky between roughly 50 GeV and 100 TeV. The detector will be used to record both steady and transient gamma-ray sources and to provide an unbiased survey of the northern sky. Upon completion, HAWC will comprise 300 large light-tight water tanks covering an area of 20,000 square meters. Each tank will be instrumented with four photomultipliers to detect particles from extensive air showers produced by gamma rays and cosmic rays. Since September 2012, the first 30 tanks have been operating in data acquisition mode. Event statistics and sensitivity are already sufficient to perform studies of cosmic rays and flaring gamma-ray sources. In this talk, we report results from the first months of detector operation, including the detection of large- and small-scale anisotropy of cosmic rays.

09:15 Mass of the b-quark from QCD sum rules for fB and fBs

We demonstrate that Borel QCD sum rules for heavy-light currents yield a very strong correlation between the b-quark mass and the resulting decay constant of the B-meson. This opens the possibility of an accurate determination of the b-quark mass from the sum rule using the values of fB and fBs as inputs. Combining recent accurate lattice QCD determinations of fB and fBs with our sum-rule analysis based on the three-loop heavy-light correlation function leads to an accurate value $\overline{m}_b(\overline{m}_b)=4.245\pm 0.025$ GeV.

09:30 Studies of asymmetries in semileptonic B decays at LHCb

LHCb has recorded large samples of semileptonic B decays. These provide potential to study CP violation effects in the B0 and Bs0 systems. Decay time-integrated or time-dependent asymmetries between charge-conjugate final states probe CP violation in B(s)0 mixing through the measurement of the parameter Afs (sometimes referred to as Asl). These measurements rely on data-driven techniques to obtain excellent control of systematic uncertainties. We present the status of the analyses.

09:45 Semileptonic B and Bs decays at Belle

We present measurements of exclusive and inclusive semileptonic $B_s$ decays using 121 $\rm{fb}^{-1}$ of data collected with the Belle detector near the $\Upsilon(5S)$ resonance. The inclusive branching fraction ${\cal B}(B_s \to X^- \ell^+ \nu_\ell)$ is measured in a sample enhanced in $B_s^{(*)0}\bar{B}_s^{(*)0}$ pair events by reconstructing a tag $D_s^+$ meson. The signal lepton $\ell^+ = e^+,\mu^+$ is required to be of the same-sign charge as the tag $D_s^+$ meson to ensure that both stem from different $B_s^0$ mesons. The branching fraction is extracted by comparing the ratio of measured $D_s^+$ and $D_s^+\ell^+$ yields to known production and branching fractions. The exclusive decays $B_s^0 \to D_s^{(*)-} \ell^+ \nu_\ell$ are studied in events where a lepton candidate $\ell^+$ is paired with a $D_s^-$ of the opposite-sign charge. We exploit the knowledge of the collision energy to identify signal decays based on the zero mass hypothesis for the unreconstructed neutrino.

10:15 Study of leptonic and semileptonic kaon decays at CERN

A lepton universality test by measurement of the helicity suppressed ratio RK of leptonic decay rates of the charged kaon has been performed by the NA62 experiment. A precision measurement of the ratio RK of the rates of kaon leptonic decays K+- to e+- nu and K+- to mu+- nu with the full minimum bias data sample collected with low intensity 75 GeV/c beam by the NA62 experiment at CERN in 2007-2008 is reported. The result, obtained by analyzing ~150,000 reconstructed K+- to e+- nu candidates with 11% background contamination, has a record precision of 0.4% and is in agreement with the Standard Model expectation. The record accuracy of 0.4% constrains the parameter space of new physics models with extended Higgs sector, a fourth generation of quarks and leptons or sterile neutrinos.

Both hadronic and leptonic final states are considered, with or without tagged bjets. We look for a SUSY signal as an excess on a falling background distribution in the kinematic planes identified by several sets of variables. The results are interpreted in many SUSY simplified models. A prescription to implement the analysis in phenomenology study is discussed.

09:15 Strong coupling from the tau-lepton hadronic width

We determine the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$ from the $\tau$ hadronic width using renormalization group summed expansion of the QCD Adler function. The main theoretical uncertainty in the extraction of $\alpha_s$ is due to the way in which renormalization group invariance is implemented and the yet uncalculated higher order terms in the QCD perturbative series. We show that new expansion exhibits nice renormalization group improvement and the behaviour of the series is similar to standard CIPT expansion. We further study the convergence properties of this expansion improved by Borel transformation and the analytical continuation in the Borel plane. We find that the new, non-power expansions for different conformal mappings have remarkable convergence. Finally we provide the value of strong coupling $\alpha_s$ using the new, non-power perturbative expansions which is $\alpha_s(M_\tau^2)= 0.3189^{+ 0.0145}_{-0.0115}$, which translates to $ \alpha_s(M_Z^2)= 0.1184^{+0.0018}_{-0.0015}$.

09:30 Multi-jet cross section ratios and a determination of the strong coupling constant in ppbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV

We present measurements of three different multi-jet cross section ratios. These include the very first measurements of the new quantities $R_{\DeltaR}$ and $R_{\Delta\phi}$, and a measurement of $R_{3/2}$. The variable $R_{\DeltaR}$ measures the average number of neighboring jets for jets from an inclusive jet sample. The variable $R_{\Delta\phi}$ measures the fraction of the inclusive dijet events in which the azimuthal separation of the two jets with the highest transverse momenta is less than a specified value of the parameter $\Delta\phi_{\rm max}$. The quantity $R_{3/2}$ is the ratio of the inclusive 3-jet and 2-jet cross sections. All three measurements use an event sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $0.7\,$fb$^{-1}$ collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The results are compared to predictions of perturbative QCD calculations at next-to-leading order in the strong coupling with corrections for non-perturbative effects. In most kinematic regions, the theory predictions describe the data well. The $R_{\Delta R}$ data are used to determine the strong coupling constant over a large range of momentum transfers from 50-400 GeV, testing the predictions of the renormalization group equation for its running in a new range of momentum transfers.

09:45 Normalised Multi-jet Cross Sections using Regularised Unfolding and Extractions of alpha_s(M_Z) in Deep-Inelastic Scattering at high Q^2 at HERA

New results on normalised inclusive jet, di-jet and trijet differential cross sections in neutral current deep-inelastic ep scattering (DIS) based on a regularised unfolding procedure are presented. Detector effects like acceptance and migrations as well as statistical correlations between the multi-jets and the inclusive DIS events are taken into account in this procedure. The DIS phase space of this measurement with the H1 detector is given by the virtuality of the exchanged boson (gamma*,Z^0) 150 < Q^2 < 15000 GeV^2 and the inelasticity of the interaction 0.2 < y < 0.7. The jets are reconstructed in the Breit frame of reference using the k_t jet algorithm. In all cases the jet pseudorapidities in the laboratory frame are required to be in the range -1.0 < eta_lab < 2.5. For inclusive jets the transverse momenta in the Breit frame are 7 < P_T < 50 GeV. The di-jet and tri-jet phase space are defined by requiring 5 < P_T,i < 50 GeV, and the invariant mass of the two leading jets M_1,2 > 16 GeV. Compared to a previously published result on normalised multi-jet cross sections, the new features are an extended range in jet pseudorapidity, an improved hadronic energy scale uncertainty of 1% and the adoption of a regularised unfolding procedure. The unfolded normalised jet cross sections are compared to QCD calculations at NLO and values for the strong coupling alpha_s(M_Z) are extracted.

10:00 $\alpha_S$ from $F_\pi$ and Renormalization Group Optimized Perturbation

A variant of variationally optimized perturbation, incorporating renormalization group properties in a straightforward way, is used at three successive orders to calculate the nonperturbative ratio $F_\pi/\Lambda$ of the pion decay constant and the basic QCD scale in the MSbar scheme. We demonstrate the good stability and (empirical) convergence properties of this modified perturbative series for this quantity. Using the experimental $F_\pi$ input value we determine $\Lambda$ for $n_f=2$ and $n_f=3$ and estimate the theoretical uncertainties of the method. Combining the $\Lambda(n_f=3)$ results with a standard perturbative evolution provides a new independent determination of the strong coupling constant at various relevant scales, in particular $\alpha_S (m_Z)$, with an accuracy well comparable to recent single determinations of $\alpha_S$.

Inclusive jet and dijet double­differential cross sections have been measured in proton­proton collisions using the ATLAS detector. The cross sections were measured using jets clustered with the anti­kT algorithm. The data are compared to expectations based on next­to­leading order QCD calculations corrected for non­perturbative effects, as well as to next­to­leading order Monte Carlo predictions. Ratios of cross sections measured at different centre­of­mass energies allow for reduced experimental and/or theoretical uncertainties.

W and Z boson production have been measured in the electron, muon and tau decay channels. Total and differential cross sections, defined in terms of the decay lepton kinematics, have been measured as a function of rapidity and transverse momentum. Precise measurements of W and Z production, including the polarisations of W bosons and of tau leptons produced in W decays are presented. They provide tests of lepton universality and constrain electroweak parameters. A measurement of the forwardbackward asymmetry for the neutral current Drell Yan process is also presented. The asymmetry is measured using dielectron and dimuon final states. For the dielectron channel, the measurement includes electrons detected in the forward calorimeter which extends the covered phase space to the region less sensitive to the PDF uncertainties. The result is then used to extract a measurement of the effective weak mixing angle.

09:00 Two–particle correlations and balance functions in p–Pb and Pb–Pb collisions at LHC energies with ALICE

Recent measurements of two–particle correlations in high–multiplicity p–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV revealed a long–range structure (large separation in ∆η) at the near– (∆φ ≃ 0) and away–side (∆φ ≃ π) of the triggering particle [1, 2, 3]. At LHC energies, these ridge–like structures have already been observed in Pb–Pb collisions [4], but also in high–multiplicity pp collisions [5]. In the first case, this phenomenon is commonly related to collectivity in hadron production, i.e. hydrodynamic evolution, whereas in the latter, mechanisms like longitudinal color connections and multi–parton interactions might play an important role. To shed light on the particle production mechanisms in p–Pb and Pb– Pb collisions and answer the question for collectivity, we extend the two–particle correlation analysis for hadrons in two directions: identified particles, which should show a characteristic pattern in case of collective motion in a hydrodynamic medium, and charge dependent correlations studied with the balance function, which are sensitive to charge dependent effects like local charge conservation.

The ATLAS experiment has studied the centrality dependence of global event characteristics in proton-lead collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=5.02 TeV. A total integrated luminosity of 30nb-1 was collected during LHC proton-lead runs in the fall and winter of 2012-13.

Results will be presented for measurements of charged particle pseudo-rapidity and transverse momentum spectra measured over a wide pseudo-rapidity range

09:32 Measurements of two- and four-particle correlations in pPb collisions with CMS

Measurements of two- and four-particle angular correlations for charged particles emitted in pPb collisions are presented over a wide range in pseudorapidity and full azimuth at CMS. The results are compared to 2.76 TeV semi-peripheral PbPb collision data, collected during the 2011 PbPb run, covering a similar range of particle multiplicities. The observed correlations are characterized by the near-side associated pair yields and the azimuthal anisotropy Fourier harmonics (v_n). The second-order (v_2) and third-order (v_3) anisotropy harmonics are extracted using the two-particle azimuthal correlation technique. A four-particle correlation method is also applied to obtain the value of v_2 and further explore the multi-particle nature of the correlations. Both associated pair yields and anisotropy harmonics are studied as a function of particle multiplicity and transverse momentum.

There is little doubt that flow has been observed in heavy ion collisions at the LHC and RHIC, mainly based on results on azimuthal anisotropies, but also on particle spectra of identified particles, perfectly compatible with hydrodynamic expansions. Surprisingly, in pPb collisions one observes a quite similar behavior. So do we observe hydrodynamic dynamics as well in pPb? We will try to answer this question.

10:08 Spectator charge splitting of directed flow in heavy ion collisions

We estimate the electromagnetic effect of the spectator charge on azimuthal anisotropies observed in heavy ion collisions. For peripheral Pb+Pb reactions at the top energy of the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron, $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=17.3$ GeV, we predict this effect to bring very large distortions to the observed directed flow, $v_1$, of positive and negative pions emitted close to beam rapidity. The overall magnitude of this effect is comparable to values of $v_1$ reported by the WA98 experiment. We argue that also at lower rapidities, the spectator induced electromagnetic effect may result in the splitting of values of $v_1$ observed for positive and negative pions. Such a splitting is visible also in the data reported by the STAR Collaboration from the RHIC Beam Energy Scan. Both effects are sensitive to the space-time scenario assumed for pion emission. Therefore, the electromagnetic splitting brings new information on the collision dynamics. The presentation will be based on our recent preprint [1]. 1) A. Rybicki and A.

11:00 Indirect Dark Matter Detection: Gamma Rays

The nature of dark matter (DM) remains obscure. On Earth, we have been unable to observe its production at high-energy facilities, and direct, matter-interaction signals are tentative at best. There are regions of the galaxy, however, where the DM density is expected to be many times greater than the local value. Weak self-interaction in such places that produces photons could be observable as an 'indirect detection.' Popular theories predict a high (hundreds of GeV) mass for the DM particle, which places the bulk of such radiation in the gamma-ray regime. Air Cherenkov detectors such as H.E.S.S. and VERITAS, along with the Fermi satellite, represent the state of the art in gamma-ray observation. I will review the current status of DM searches with these instruments, including constraints and possible signals.

The cubic-kilometer sized IceCube neutrino observatory, constructed in the glacial ice at the South Pole, offers new opportunities for neutrino physics with its in-fill array "DeepCore". IceCube searches indirectly for dark matter via neutrinos from dark matter self-annihilations and has a high discovery potential through striking signatures. We report on the latest results from searches for dark matter self-annihilations in the Milky Way and signals from the Sun. The latter are sensitive to the WIMP-proton scattering cross section, which initiates the WIMP capture process in the Sun. The latest limits from a search with the 79-string configuration of IceCube for WIMP masses in the range 20–5000 GeV are the most stringent spin-dependent WIMP-proton cross section limits to date above 35 GeV for most WIMP models.

11:45 Deep survey of the Segue 1 dwarf spheroidal galaxy with the MAGIC Telescopes

Discovering the nature of dark matter is one of the most exciting tasks of modern science. Among the targets suitable for dark matter searches, dwarf spheroidal galaxies are considered to be excellent candidates and, among them, Segue 1 stands out with mass-to-light ratio estimated to order of 1000. We present the results of the first stereoscopic observations of Segue 1 with MAGIC Telescopes, carried out during 2011 and 2012. With 110 hours of good quality data, this is the deepest observational campaign on any dwarf galaxy carried so far by any Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope. The analysis of the data is performed using a dedicated likelihood approach, optimized for signals with characteristic spectral features. We search for dark matter particles with mass in the 100 GeV - 10 TeV range, considering theoretical scenarios with different final state Standard Model particles, annihilation with internal bremsstrahlung and monochromatic line signals.

12:30 Vector dark matter and Fermi LAT gamma ray line

We propose a model for vector dark matter with an extra U(1) gauge symmetry broken by the VEV of a complex singlet scalar. Due to the mixing between the singlet scalar and the Standard Model Higgs doublet, the relic density of vector dark matter can be consisitent. The model may contain a charged scalar. the annihilation of vector dark matter into two photons can be sizable enough to account for the excess of the Fermi-LAT gamma ray line.

12:45 Constraining dark matter capture and annihilation cross sections by searching for neutrino signature from the Earth core

We study the sensitivity of IceCube/DeepCore detector to dark matter (DM) annihilations in the Earth core. We focus on annihilation modes DM DM-->nu anti-nu, tau^+ tau^-, b anti-b, and W^+W^-. Both track and cascade events are considered in our analysis. By fixing the DM annihilation cross section at some nominal values, we study the sensitivity of IceCube/DeepCore detector to DM spin-independent capture cross section for a DM mass range from few tens of GeV to 10 TeV. This sensitivity is compared with the existing IceCube 79 string constraint on the same cross section , which was obtained by searching for DM annihilations in the Sun. We also compare this sensitivity to DM direct detection results, in particular the XENON 100 (2012) limit and the parameter regions by DAMA and CRESST-II experiments. We also present IceCube/DeepCore sensitivity to DM annihilation cross section as a function of DM mass by fixing DM spin-independent capture cross section at XENON 100 (2012) and XENON 1T limits. This sensitivity is compared with the preferred DM parameter range derived from the combined fitting to PAMELA and AMS02 positron fraction data. We conclude that the search for DM annihilations in the Earth core provides competitive constraints on DM capture and annihilation cross sections in the case of low-mass DM.

Several aspects of the jet production in pp collisions have been measured by the ATLAS collaboration. Measurements of multi­jet systems, including heavy flavour production, with or without a veto on additional jets, probe QCD radiation effects. A measurement of the inclusive multiplicity ratio is sensitive to the strong coupling constant alpha_S and has reduced sensitivity to the uncertainties due to parton distribution functions. Measurements of jets containing charm and beauty hadrons are also presented. Measurement of splitting scales in the kt clustering algorithm using jets from W+jet events provide a way to investigate jet clustering at different resolution scales. These measurements constitute precision tests of QCD in a new energy regime, overall a good agreement with QCD expectations is observed.

11:15 Jet performance in CMS

Calibration and reconstruction of jets critically rely on the performance of the calorimeters. Extending from out to $\eta < 5$, jets must critically rely on the interplay between forward calorimeters, central calorimeters and the tracker. The high pileup scenario poses further complications. These difficulties are overcome in CMS using the "particle flow approach". A summary of the measurements of the jet energy calibration in CMS is presented, performed with data samples collected in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 12.1/fb. The final jet energy calibration is based on dijet, γ+jet and Z+jet events.

Jet shapes, single­jet masses, and jet substructure have the potential to identify jets coming from massive, boosted particles decaying hadronically, such as vector bosons.

12:30 Charged jet spectra in proton-proton collisions with the ALICE experiment at the LHC

Jets are collimated sprays of particles resulting from fragmentation of associated hard scattered partons. They are measured in different types of collisions at different energies to test perturbative Quantum Chromodynamic calculations and are used to study the hard scattering, fragmentation, hadronisation and other properties of partons. These properties studied in simple systems such as proton-proton collisions, serve as a baseline to investigate their modifications by hot and dense nuclear matter created in high energy heavy-ion collisions. We have analysed data from minimum bias proton-proton collisions at \sqrt{s} of 2.76 and 7 TeV collected using the ALICE detector system at the LHC and reconstructed the inclusive jet cross-section from charged tracks at midrapidity. We present jet spectra reconstructed using modern anti-k_T and k_T algorithms with underlying event subtraction and correction for detector effects via unfolding and its systematics study for both energies. Furthermore, results from fragmentation function analyses and jet shape observables are shown. All results are compared with other experimental results and with Monte Carlo generators.

After the Higgs boson discovery by the LHC experiments at 126 GeV, the Standard Model has no free parameters left and measurements sensitive to Electroweak radiative corrections constitute powerful tests of the existence of weakly interacting New Physics beyond the TeV scale. TLEP is a high luminosity circular e+e- collider to be fit in a 80-100 km tunnel as precursor and companion of a 100 TeV pp collider (VHE-LHC), as part of a possible long term vision for HEP. The machine covers the energy range from the Z pole up to above the top quark pair threshold. Luminosity at 240GeV (Higgs factory) is 5.1034 /cm2/s at each of four collision points, yielding 2 Million Higgs decays in 5 years. Luminosity increases rapidly at lower energies, offering the prospects of 1012 Z bosons or 108 W pairs per year. Transverse beam polarization for exquisite beam energy calibration should be achievable at the Z pole and WW production threshold, and longitudinal polarization at the Z peak. As a result, many precision measurements and rare decays can be revisited. The Z mass and width can be measured to better than 100 keV, the W mass better than 1 MeV, the top quark mass to 30-100 MeV and the effective weak mixing angle at the Z pole to a few 10-6. Some of the associated experimental and theoretical challenges will be highlighted.

The production of heavy flavour in association with a W or Z boson represents an important process to study QCD. High precision is achieved in measurements of differential cross sections and comparisons are made to state­of­the­art NLO QCD calculations. Measurement of W+c production cross section has a unique sensitivity to the strange­quark density, which is poorly known at low x. W+b production, on the other hand, probes the b­quark production by higher order QCD processes. Cross sections are measured differentially as a function of jet multiplicity and transverse momentum of the leading b­jet, for the W+b measurement and as a function of lepton pseudorapidity for the W+c measurement.

12:30 W + Heavy Flavor Jet Measurements with CMS

Production and hadronization of heavy quarks (b and c) in association with the W boson in proton-proton collisions is only partially understood. Experimental measurements are necessary to choose amongst the phenomenological models and parameters. Using the LHC proton-proton collision data collected in 2011 at a centre of mass energy of 7 TeV, we present two studies (1) W+c production, where charm jet is identified by reconstruction of a secondary vertex with an identified charmed meson, or a muon-tagged jet and (2) W+bb production, where both b-jets are tagged by the secondary vertices. In both cases, the W-boson is tagged by the presence of one isolated lepton accompanied by missing transverse energy. A precise W+c measurement at the LHC may significantly reduce the uncertainties on the strange parton distribution function (PDF). A thorough understanding of the Wbb measurement is required to improve search for W-associated Higgs to bb production, or BSM searches in modes tagged by a W and a pair of b-jets.

For $p_{\rm T}$ from 100 MeV/$c$ up to 3-4 GeV/$c$ (anti)protons, charged pions and kaons can be separated on a track-by-track basis through the measurement of the specific energy loss, d$E$/d$x$, and the time of flight. The identification of protons can be extended up to 6 GeV/$c$ by the Cherenkov detector. For $3 < p_{\rm T} < 20$~GeV/$c$, statistical PID can be done thanks to the relativistic rise of the d$E$/d$x$ in the TPC. In this talk, the spectra for charged pions, kaons, and (anti)protons from pp (at $\sqrt{s} = 2.76$ and 7 TeV) and Pb-Pb (at $\sqrt{s_{\text{NN}}} = 2.76$ TeV) collisions will be presented. The results from pp collisions are important both as a baseline for Pb-Pb measurements and for our understanding of the hadronization process with a focus here on jet fragmentation. \\ Low $p_{\rm T}$ results in Pb-Pb collisions provide information regarding bulk production and collective flow, and will be discussed in the context of the statistical model and hydrodynamic calculations. The intermediate $p_{\rm T}$ region is interesting due to the anomalous large peak in the proton to pion ratio that can be an indication for new hadronization processes in Pb-Pb such as recombination. Finally, high $p_{\rm T}$ results provide insight into jet quenching via the nuclear modification factor, $R_{\text{AA}}$.

12:12 Transverse momentum distribution of charged particles and identified hadrons in p--Pb collisions at the LHC with ALICE

Hadron production has been measured at mid-rapidity by the ALICE experiment at the LHC in proton-lead (p--Pb) collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV. The transverse momentum ($p_{\rm T}$) distribution of primary charged particles and of identified light-flavoured hadrons ($\pi^{\pm}$, K$^{\pm}$, K$^{0}_{\rm S}$, p, $\bar{\rm p}$, $\Lambda$, $\bar{\Lambda}$) are presented in this report. Charged-particle tracks are reconstructed in the central barrel over a wide momentum range and furthermore they can be identified by exploiting specific energy loss (d$E$/d$x$), time-of-flight and topological particle-identification techniques. Particle-production yields, spectral shapes and particle ratios are measured in several centrality/multiplicity classes and are compared with results obtained in Pb--Pb collisions at the LHC. The measurement of charged-particle transverse momentum spectra and nuclear modification factor R$_{\rm pPb}$ indicates that the strong suppression of high-$p_{\rm T}$ hadrons observed in Pb--Pb collisions is not due to initial-state effects, but it is rather a fingerprint of jet quenching in hot QCD matter. The systematic study of the hadronic spectral shapes as a function of the particle mass and of particle ratios as a function of charged-particle density provides further insights into collective phenomena, as observed in Pb--Pb collisions. Similar features that could be present in high-multiplicity p--Pb collisions will also be discussed.

12:28 Precision measurements of inclusive hadron production in p+p and p+C interactions at the CERN SPS

In the framework of a general study of hadron production in elementary and nuclear interactions at the CERN SPS the NA49 experiment has produced new and complete sets of inclusive meson and baryon cross sections in p+p and p+C interactions [1-8]. This work is aimed at providing precision data over most of the available phase space with a special emphasis on completeness, internal consistency and on the comparison to a wide range of existing experimental results. In particular a new critical analysis of kaon pruction in p+p collisions from threshold to collider energies [3] as well as a survey of backward pion and proton production from 1 to 400 GeV/c beam momentum in p+C interactions [7] has been provided. The corresponding physics analysis allows for a model-independent study of soft hadronic production with a view to a critical assessment of the applicability of the current approaches to the non-perturbative sector of QCD. In this context the precision study of p+A interactions opens a new access to the scrutiny and understanding of multiple hadronic collisions concerning specifically detailed nuclear and isopin effects including strangeness. In addition these data may serve as a reference for neutrino and astro-particle physics. 1. C. Alt et al., Eur. Phys. J. C45 (2006) 343 2. T. Anticic et al., Eur. Phys. J. C65 (2010) 9 3. T.

12:44 Slavnov-Taylor identity for the Effective Field Theory of the Color Glass Condensate

We show that a very powerful Slavnov-Taylor (ST) identity exists for the Effective Field Theory (EFT) of the Color Glass Condensate (CGC), allowing to control by purely algebraic means the full dependence on the background fields of the ultra-fast gluon modes, as well as the correlators of the quantum fluctuations of the classical gluon source. We use this formalism to study the change of the background ultra-fast modes (in the Coulomb gauge), induced by the quantum corrections of the semi-fast gluons; we also establish the evolution equation for the EFT of the CGC. This points towards an algebraic derivation of the JIMWLK evolution equation. Being based on symmetry-arguments only, the approach can be used to extend the analysis to arbitrary gauges and to higher orders in the perturbation expansion of the EFT.

14:30 Status of Direct Dark Matter Detection with Cryogenic Detectors

Latest results from precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) indicate that about a quarter of the Universe consists of Dark Matter (DM). Well motivated particle candidates to account for DM are Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) which should be directly detectable in ultra-low background experiments on Earth. After a brief introduction to the field of Dark Matter physics and the direct detection approach this talk will give an overview on the most important direct DM search experiments with special emphasis on those using low-temperature solid state detectors as well as liquid noble gas detectors. In this context the present results of the various DM searches will be discussed and future perspectives in the field will be presented.

15:15 Semi-annihilating scalar dark matter

Scalar dark matter models invariant under a discrete Z_3 or Z_4 symmetry are studied. Unlike in the usual Z_2 case, their phenomenology can contain semi-annihilations -- processes in which two dark sector particles scatter into a dark sector and a SM particle. The simplest such model has complex scalar singlet DM stabilised by Z_3. Compared to the well-known Z_2 case, the new processes can significantly change relic abundance and prospects for direct detection. The requirement that Z_3 be not broken spontaneously, however, places a lower bound on the direct detection cross section and will allow the whole parameter space to be tested by XENON1T. Addition of new scalars can stabilise the Higgs potential up to the GUT scale. In case of the Z_4 symmetry the minimal model with semi-annihilation contains an inert doublet in addition to the singlet, and dark matter can be two-component.

15:45 Impact of axion-like particles on observations with IACTs

Very high energy (VHE) gamma-rays undergo pair production with low energy photons of background radiation fields. This leads to an attenuation of the primary gamma-ray flux of extragalactic sources in the interaction with the extragalactic background light which stretches from ultraviolet to far-infrared wavelengths. In the presence of magnetic fields, gamma-rays could oscillate into hypothetical axion-like particles (ALPs). This might lead to a reduced opacity of the Universe for VHE gamma-rays, as ALPs circumvent pair production. Here, the impact of photon-ALP conversions on blazar spectra in different magnetic-field configurations is presented. Possible photon-ALP couplings are derived if evidences of a low opacity of the Universe for VHE gamma-rays are interpreted within ALP scenarios.

Time-dependent CP asymmetry measurements in D to h^+h^- decays, where h=pi or rho can be used to constrain the angle beta_c of the cu unitarity triangle up to theoretical uncertainties.

LHCb experiment over a year ago, opened up a new avenue to investigate the phenomena of CP violation via their first observation of direct CP asymmetry in $D^0 \to \pi^+ \pi ^-$ and to $K^+ K^-$. This observation, though, presents a serious new challenge for theorists, as reliable, quantitative calculations for D decays to hadronic final states are extremely difficult since the charm mass is neither light enough for ChPT or heavy enough for heavy quark effective theory to work. Bearing those difficulties in mind, CP violation in charm decays is further studied in light of more recent experimental results and also incorporating new theoretical developments, in particular from improved understanding from the lattice for the origin of the Delta I=1/2 enhancement. Decisive tests for distinguishing new physics contribution from the SM will be emphasized.

The differential cross sections are measured in the range of negative fourmomentum transfer squared, Q2, between 60 and 50 000GeV2, and Bjorken x between 0.0008 and 0.65. The measurements are combined with earlier published unpolarised H1 data to improve statistical precision and used to determine the structure function xF_3^gammaZ. A measurement of the neutral current parity violating structure function F_2^gammaZ is presented for the first time. The polarisation dependence of the charged current total cross section is also measured.

Measurements of open charm production cross sections in deep-inelastic ep scattering at HERA from the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations are combined.

The combination method accounts for the correlations of the systematic uncertainties among the different data sets. The combined charm data together with the combined inclusive deep-inelastic scattering cross sections from HERA are used as input for a detailed NLO QCD analysis to study the influence of different heavy flavour schemes on the parton distribution functions. The optimal values of the charm mass as a parameter in these different schemes are obtained. The implications on the NLO predictions for W^{\pm} and Z production cross sections at the LHC are investigated. Using the fixed flavour number scheme, the running mass of the charm quark is determined.

14:30 Heavy flavour production in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 2.76 TeV with the ALICE detector

Hadrons containing heavy flavours are unique probes of the properties of the hot and dense QCD medium produced in heavy ion collisions. Due to their large masses, heavy quarks are produced at the initial stage of the collision, almost exclusively via hard partonic scattering processes. Therefore, they are expected to experience the full collision history propagating through and interacting with the QCD medium. The parton energy loss, which is sensitive to the transport coefficients of the produced medium, can be studied experimentally by measuring the nuclear modification factor (R$_{AA}$) which accounts for the modification of the heavy flavoured hadron yield in Pb-Pb with respect to pp. In semi-central collisions, the degree of thermalization of charm quarks in the QCD medium can be accessed via the measurement of the heavy flavour elliptic flow $v_2$ at low p$_T$. At high p$_T$, $v_2$ is sensitive to the path length dependence of heavy quark in-medium energy loss. The ALICE collaboration has measured the production of open heavy flavour hadrons via their hadronic and semi-leptonic decays at mid-rapidity and in the semi-muonic decay channel at forward rapidity in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 and 2.76 TeV and at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV respectively. In this talk the latest results on open heavy flavour R$_{AA}$ and $v_2$ will be presented.

14:46 Open charm hadron production in $p+p$ and Au+Au collisions at STAR

In relativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC, heavy quarks are expected to be created from initial hard scatterings. Their large masses are not easily affected by the strong interaction with QCD medium, thus they carry clean information from the system at early stage. The interaction between heavy quarks and the medium is sensitive to the medium dynamics, therefore heavy quarks are suggested as an ideal probe to quantify the properties of the strongly interacting QCD matter. In this talk, we will present the STAR results of open charm hadron production at mid-rapidity in $p+p$ and Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV. Open charm mesons were reconstructed directly via hadronic decay channels with daughter particles identified by TPC and TOF detectors. With abundant statistics of Au+Au collisions collected by STAR in the year 2010 and 2011, the D-meson is measured at $p_T$ from 0.2 to 6 GeV/c in minimum bias Au+Au collisions. The centrality dependence of D-meson $p_T$ spectra as well as the nuclear modification factor will be presented. A first measurement of the $D^{0}$ elliptic flow in 200 GeV Au+Au collisions will be reported. These measurements are compared to theoretical model calculations and physics implications will be discussed. Finally, we will discuss the open charm hadron measurement in $\sqrt{s}=500$ GeV $p+p$ collisions to study the energy dependence of charm production.

15:02 The measurement of non-photonic electrons in STAR

Hot and dense matter in which quarks and gluons are deconfined is created in heavy-ion collisons at RHIC. The properties of this strongly interacting matter, Quark-Gluon Plasma, could be studied using heavy quarks, namely charm and bottom. Due to their large masses, they are produced during the initial phase of heavy ion collisions via gluon fusion. Non-photonic electrons (NPE) are mainly produced by semileptonic decays of charmed and bottomed hadrons, hence the study of NPE in hadron-hadron and ion-ion collisions provides the information about heavy quarks production as well as the medium properties. The nuclear modification factor of NPE measured in central Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV at STAR is comparable to that of light hadrons. NPE $v_2$ measurement is necessary to distinguish between different energy loss scenarios and can be a good proxy to reveal heavy flavor collectivity, which can improve our understanding of the medium thermalization. This talk presents the recent STAR measurements of NPE $p_T$ spectrum, and its suppression in Au+Au $\sqrt{s}=200$ GeV, and azimuthal anisotropy at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 39, 62.4 and 200 GeV. The analysis status for d+Au collisions will also be reported.

15:18 Heavy Quarks in Heavy-Ion Collisions

The heavy charm and bottom quarks and the associated open heavy-flavor mesons (D and B) are a valuable probe for the interactions in the hot and dense medium created in heavy-ion collisions. They are produced in the primordial hard collisions of partons within the nuclei and then traverse the hot and dense partonic (QGP) and hadronic (hadron gas) medium, which shows collective behavior, describable as flow of a nearly ideal fluid. This implies a fast thermalization and a strong coupling of the QGP. Due to their larger mass the heavy quarks are expected to be less equilibrated and thus the pT spectra (nuclear modification factor R_AA) and elliptic flow v_2 of open heavy-flavor mesons and "non-photonic electrons" from their semileptonic decay provide important insight about the coupling mechanisms of heavy quarks/open heavy-flavor mesons with the medium. This is investigated with help of Fokker-Planck/Langevin simulations of heavy quarks in a realistic bulk-medium background described with help of the UrQMD-hydro-hybrid model. The comparison of the results concerning R_AA and v_2 of D-mesons as well as non-photonic electrons with these simulations provide some information about the possible microscopic interaction mechanisms within the hot and dense medium responsible for the strong coupling of the medium and its early thermalization.

15:38 Prospects for heavy-flavour measurements in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC with the new ALICE inner tracker

The ALICE experiment at the LHC studies Pb-Pb, pp, and p-Pb collisions with the aim of investigating the properties of the high-density state of strongly-interacting matter, expected to be produced in Pb-Pb collisions. Heavy quarks are sensitive probes to test the medium transport properties and its degree of thermalization since they are formed at shorter time scale with respect to the deconfined state. The present heavy-flavour measurements in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC show a large suppression of D meson production at high transverse momentum pT in central collisions and a non-zero elliptic flow in semi-central collisions. Those measurement are limited by the large combinatorial background especially in the low pT region, which is most interesting. The measurement of heavy-flavour baryon production is sensitive to the heavy quark hadronization mechanism. This measurement is difficult to be achieved with the current tracking resolution due to the small displacement (tens of microns for the case of the Λc) of the decay tracks from the primary vertex. The new Inner Tracking System (ITS) will be composed of 7 layers of silicon detectors with a material budget as low as 0.3% of the radiation length per layer. The tracking spatial resolution will improve by a factor 3 (5) in the transverse (longitudinal) direction. The new ITS together with the upgraded readout systems of the other central barrel detectors, will allow ALICE to record Pb-Pb events at a rate 100 times higher than with the current detectors, thus fully exploiting the increased Pb-Pb interaction rate provided by LHC after 2018. These upgrades will open the possibility to separate charm and beauty, measuring B mesons, Λb and Λc baryons in their charged decay channels down to pT ~2 GeV/c, in addition to D mesons down to zero pT. New studies about the heavy-flavour content of jets are also being addressed. The main features of the inner tracker upgrade and the expected performance for heavy flavour measurements will be presented.

16:30 Measurement of Cosmic Rays with the AMS-02 detector on the ISS

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a state of the art particle detector, measuring the cosmic rays on the International Space Station (ISS) since May 19th 2011. AMS-02 measures all the compounds of cosmic rays up to iron in an energy range from MeV to TeV. The seven subsystems of the detector allow for redundant particle identification with unprecedented accuracy. With its proton rejection in the order of 10^6 a very high purity of the antiparticle spectra can be obtained. The talk will give insight on the detector operation, particle identification and an overview of the first results and its various astroparticle physics interpretations.

17:00 Particle physics measurements at the highest energies with the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Observatory measures cosmic rays with energies between 10^17.5 eV and 10^20 eV, based on air shower sampling at ground, complemented with shower development measurements with a smaller 12% duty-cycle. The cross-section for the primary interaction of 10^18 eV protons with air has been measured by analysing the maximum of shower development in the atmosphere. This corresponds to a centre-of-mass energy of 57 TeV, and the LHC results later confirmed the observed evolution of the proton-proton cross-section at intermediate energies. The depth of shower maximum is sensitive to cross-section and primary mass. Its energy evolution indicates a change towards the behavior expected for heavier primaries or larger cross-sections. We will show also the results on other observables related to primary nuclear mass composition. The results of the Observatory include also limits on the possible fluxes of photons and neutrinos, which will be briefly reviewed.

17:15 Measurement of the Energy Spectrum of Cosmic Rays above 3 10^17 eV at the Pierre Auger Observatory

We report the measurement of the flux of cosmic rays with unprecedented precision and statistics using data collected at the Pierre Auger Observatory until 31 December 2012. The fluorescence observation of the air-showers provide intrinsically a calorimetric energy measurement. Based on the hybrid nature of the experiment, the energy scale for the surface detector is obtained with minimal use of Monte Carlo simulations. The energy spectrum deduced with the more denser array of 750 m, which provides the extension of the energy range from 1.5 10^18 eV down to 3 10^17 eV will be emphasised. The spectral features are presented in detail and the systematic uncertainties are addressed. We also present the current enhancements of the Pierre Auger Observatory.

17:45 High-energy cosmic rays measured with KASCADE-Grande

With KASCADE-Grande, the detection of high-energy cosmic rays above a few hundred TeV is realized by the observation of extensive air-showers. By using a multi-detector setup, energy spectrum, elemental composition, and anisotropies of high-energy cosmic rays in the energy range from below the knee up to 2 EeV are investigated. In addition, the large high-quality data set permits distinct tests of the validity of hadronic interaction models used in interpreting air-shower measurements. After more than 16 years, the KASCADE-Grande experiment terminated measurements end of 2012. Main results of the data analysis exhibited a knee-structure in the spectrum of the primary cosmic rays of light elements at a few PeV; a knee-like structure in the spectrum of heavy primaries at c.90 PeV; and an ankle-like structure for the light primaries at c.120 PeV. The implications of these findings to astrophysical models for the transition from galactic to extragalactic origin of cosmic rays will be discussed.

18:00 Results in astroparticle physics from the ARGO-YBJ experiment

The ARGO-YBJ experiment, located in the Tibet region of China at 4300 meters a.s.l., has run uninterruptedly for over 5 years, namely from November 2007 till the beginning of 2013. It was designed to study astronomical gamma-ray sources in the energy range from a few hundred GeV up to about 100 TeV, and cosmic-ray physics in the energy range from about 1 TeV up to few PeV. The full-coverage structure of the ARGO-YBJ detector allowed to lower the energy threshold for air-shower detection with respect to conventional sampling arrays. By using a full-coverage layer of Resistive Plate Chambers (78 x 74 m^2), surrounded by a guard ring, with a full area of approximately 11000 m^2, the ARGO-YBJ experiment obtained important results in gamma-ray astronomy and cosmic-ray astrophysics: the observation of point-like gamma sources, the monitoring of AGN gamma flares, the measurement of the medium-scale cosmic-ray anisotropy and the light-component cosmic-ray spectrum will be presented and discussed.

18:15 Experimentally Viable Mass of the Fermionic Dark Matter

We take into account a generic form of a Dirac fermionic dark matter (DM), which communicates with the Standard Model quarks via a scalar mediator, in a model-independent way. Four special interaction scenarios are investigated, where one is parity conserving and the other three are parity violating. Three of them result in the v suppressed DM-nucleon cross sections, where v ~10^-3c is the velocity of the DM in the laboratory frame. We constrain the masses of the dark matter and mediator as well as the couplings from the thermal relic abundance, and the recent results of the XENON100 direct detection and collider experiments involving the two channels: (i) monojet plus large missing transverse energy, and (ii) dijet. The current monojet constraint is not stronger than that from the requirement of the correct relic density and the null result by the XENON100 direct detection. We find that the dijet resonance measurements can exclude a large portion of the parameter space (m_\chi, mY ), where the couplings for the mediator coupled to the dark matter and to the quarks are small and have roughly the same magnitude. The constraint from indirect detections and diphoton resonance searches is also briefly discussed.

16:45 Measurement of gamma from three-body B decays

It was recently shown that the weak phase $\gamma$ can be extracted from three-body B decays. Using a flavor-SU(3)-symmetric approach, we extract $\gamma$ from the BaBar measurements of the Dalitz plots of $B \to K\pi\pi$ and $B \to KK\bar K$ decays. We find four possible solutions: $31^{+2}_{-3}$, $77\pm3$, $258^{+4}_{-3}$ and $315^{+3}_{-2}$, in degrees. In all cases the error includes first-order flavor-SU(3) breaking effects. One solution -- $77\pm3$ -- is consistent with the standard model; its error is smaller than that obtained using two-body B decays. We present recent updates of the results.

17:15 Measurements of phi_3 at Belle

The neutral $B$-meson decay, $B^0\to D^*\pi$, provides a sensitivity to $\sin(2\phi_1+\phi_3)$, where $\phi_1$ and $\phi_3$ are the angles of the unitary triangle. There are two ways that the initial $B^0$ goes to a final state $D^{*-}\pi^+$. One is a Cabbibo-favoured decay (CFD) and the other is via $B^0 \to \bar{B}^0$ mixing followed by a doubly-Cabbibo-suppressed decay (DCSD). The former does not have a weak phase while the latter has a phase of $2\phi_1+\phi_3$ from mixing and decay, thus, CP violation can be measured from time dependent analysis. However, since DCSD is suppressed by $O(\lambda^2)$, expected CP violation is small and large number of events are required. We measured CP violating parameters in this decay with the complete dataset of 710 fb$^{-1}$ accumlated by Belle.

17:30 Measurements of the hadronic cross-sections with the CMD-3 and SND detectors at the VEPP-2000 e+e- collider

Regular data taking with the CMD-3 and SND detectors at the VEPP-2000 electron-positron collider in Novosibirsk is underway since 2010. The luminosity up to 10**31 cm-2s-1 has been reached at the energy 2E=2 GeV, and another order of magnitude will be achieved after construction of the new positron source. The already collected physical data sample corresponds to about 36 inversed picobarns of integrated luminosity in the energy range from phi-meson up to 2 GeV and currently the first scan from 2 pion threshold up to 1 GeV with about 6 pb-1 has been performed to get a new precision measurement of the e+e- -> pi+pi- cross section. Preliminary results on cross sections of a number of multi-hadron final states from CMD3 and SND detectors is reported. The obtained results are in good agreement with previous experiments and have a comparable or better statistical precision. Besides the study on dynamic of multihadron production, knowledge of e+e- -> hadrons cross-sections with high accuracy at low energies is required to evaluate the hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon and the fine structure constant at Z boson mass. While the previous set of experiments allowed the comparison of the muon (g-2) value measured at BNL with SM prediction, revealing more than a 3 sigma difference, the goal on precision of experiments at VEPP-2000 is to match an accuracy of new muon (g-2) measurement at FermiLab and J-PARC.

16:30 Dynamical origin for the 125 GeV Higgs

I will describe a hybrid framework for electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB), in which the Higgs mechanism is combined with a Nambu-Jona-Lasinio mechanism. The model introduces an unconstrained (i.e., acts as "fundamental" but not the SM field) scalar and a strongly coupled doublet of heavy quarks with a mass around 500 GeV, which forms a condensate at a compositeness scale \Lambda ~ O(1 TeV). This setup is matched at that scale to a tightly constrained hybrid two Higgs doublet model, where both the composite and unconstrained scalars participate in EWSB. This allows us to get a good candidate for the recently observed 125 GeV scalar which has properties very similar to the Standard Model Higgs. The heavier (mostly composite) CP-even scalar has a mass around 500 GeV, while the pseudoscalar and the charged Higgs particles have masses in the range 200 -300 GeV.

16:30 HERAFitter - an open source QCD fit framework

The proton parton distribution functions (PDFs) are essential for precision physics at the LHC and other hadron colliders. Their current level of accuracy dominates the theory uncertainties in Higgs production and it affects substantially theory predictions for Beyond Standard Model high mass production. The determination of the PDFs is a complex endeavor involving several physics process. The main process is the lepton proton deep- inelastic scattering (DIS), with data collected by the HERA ep collider covering a large kinematic phase space needed to extract PDFs. Further processes (fixed target DIS, ppbar collisions etc.) provide additional constraining powers for flavour separation. In particular, the precise measurements obtained or to come from LHC will continue to improve the knowledge of the PDF. HERAFitter project is an open source QCD fit framework ready to extract PDFs and assess the impact of new data which we would like to present here. The framework includes modules allowing for a various theoretical and methodological options, capable to fit a large number of relevant data sets from HERA, Tevatron and LHC. This framework is already used in many analyses at the LHC. A new release is available publicly with added features for different parametrisation methods, alternative options to assess the impact of new data based on bayesian reweighting techinque, different representation of the chisquare, as well as the option to accomodate for asymmetric systematic uncertainties.

The inclusive jet production at different centre­of­mass energies, measured by ATLAS are used in an NLO QCD fit and show impact for the gluon density. Off­resonance Drell Yan production may be used to constrain anti­quark density at high x.

17:43 COMPASS results on transverse-spin asymmetries in hadron pair production in SIDIS

The transversity parton distribution remains a poorly known cornerstone in the nucleon spin structure. While the Collins effect in spin asymmetries in Semi-Inclusive DIS (SIDIS) is one crucial tool to address the transversity function, the most promising alternative is the azimuthal asymmetry in SIDIS when a hadron pair is detected in the final state. In this case, the chiral-odd transversity function is coupled to another chiral-odd function, i.e. the hadron-pair interference fragmentation function (IFF). The measurement of azimuthal asymmetries in hadron-pair production on a transversely polarized nucleon target has been performed at COMPASS using a 160 GeV/c muon beam of CERN's M2 beam line. Results from the 2007 and 2010 recent measurements will be presented and compared to model predictions.

The unprecedented high collision energies at the Large Hadron Collider give rise to a significant production of light anti- and hyper-nuclei in proton-proton and, even more, in Pb-Pb collisions. With its excellent particle identification capabilities based on the specific energy loss (dE/dx) in the Time Projection Chamber and time-of-flight measurements, the ALICE experiment is very well suited for the detection of these rare stable particles. Results for (anti)deuterons, (anti)tritons, (anti-)3He and (anti- )4He will be presented. With the help of the Inner Tracking System, secondary (anti-)nuclei originating from the decays of light (anti-)hyper- nuclei can be clearly separated from primary particles. This allows not only for the topological identification of the hyper-triton via its mesonic decay (3_Λ_H -> 3He + pion), but also for the search for even lighter hyper- matter systems, i.e. Λ-Λ and Λ-neutron bound states. The results will also be compared with the expectations from thermal and coalescence models.

16:46 Onset of deconfinement and search for the critical point of strongly interacting matter at CERN SPS energies

The exploration of the QCD phase diagram and particularly the search for a phase transition from hadronic to partonic degrees of freedom and possibly a critical endpoint, is one of the most challenging tasks in present heavy-ion physics. As observed by the NA49 experiment, several hadronic observables in central Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS show qualitative changes in their energy dependence. These features are not observed in elementary interactions and indicate the onset of a phase transition in the SPS energy range [1,2]. Further information about the existence and nature of a phase transition in the SPS energy range can be gained from the studies of event-by-event fluctuations of final state hadron distributions and yields performed by the NA61/SHINE [3], a successor of the NA49 experiment. New results on p+p interactions at 20, 31, 40, 80 and 158 GeV/c will be shown. They will include: - inclusive spectra of pi+, pi-, K-, and protons as a function of transverse momentum/mass and rapidity, - event-by-event fluctuations of transverse momentum, azimuthal angle and chemical composition.

17:18 The effective potential of the confinement order parameter in the Hamiltonian approach

The effective potential of the order parameter for confinement is calculated for SU(N) Yang-Mills theory in the Hamiltonian approach. Compactifying one spatial dimension and using a background gauge fixing, this potential is obtained within a variational approach by minimizing the energy density for given background field. Thereby, the inverse length of the compactified dimension represents the temperature. Using Gaussian trial wave functionals we establish an analytic relation between the propagators in the background gauge at finite-temperature and the corresponding zero temperature propagators in Coulomb gauge. In the simplest truncation, neglecting the ghost and using the ultraviolet form of the gluon energy we recover the Weiss potential. We explicitly show that the neglect of the ghost drastically enhances the transition temperature. From the full non-pertubative potential (with the ghost included) we extract a critical temperature of the deconfinement phase transition of 269 MeV for the gauge group SU(2) and 275MeV for SU(3).

17:38 Hadronic resonance production in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at LHC with the ALICE experiment

Hadronic resonance production in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at LHC with the ALICE experiment Enrico Fragiacomo INFN Trieste on behalf of the ALICE Collaboration Abstract Resonances, with their lifetime comparable to the lifetime of the partonic plasma phase, are a valuable tool to study the dynamics of the high energy density medium formed in heavy-ion collisions. Resonance measurements can be potentially used to estimate the time span between the chemical and kinetic freeze-out and interaction cross sections in the hadronic phase. Measurements of resonances in proton-proton collisions provide an important baseline for heavy-ion data as well for tuning QCD-inspired particle production models. The ALICE collaboration has measured K*(892)0 and ϕ(1020) production in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV and in pp collisions at 0.9, 2.76 and 7 TeV . The production of the ϕ meson has been studied in pp collisions at 0.9, 2.76 and 7 TeV, while K*(892)0 and baryonic resonance production (Σ*(1385)± and Ξ*(1530)0) have been measured in 7 TeV pp collisions. Characteristics of resonance production in these collisions systems will be discussed, in particular transverse momentum spectra and ratios such as ϕ/π, ϕ/K, K*/K , (Ω+anti-Ω)/ϕ, Σ*/Ξ, Σ*/π and Σ*/K. A comparison between central and peripheral production as well as one with QCD inspired models (for pp collision data) and thermal models will be shown.

Measurements of bulk particle production will also be presented with a focus on studies of elliptic and higher-order collective flow. Included in these results will be measurements of event-by-event collective flow. In addition to providing baseline measurements for the lead-lead program, the proton-lead data also provide a unique opportunity to study the physics of soft and hard scattering in a high parton density environment.

LISA Pathfinder is a mission of the European Space Mission aimed at demonstrating the space-time metrology required for space-borne gravitational wave observatories like eLISA. In particular the mission aims at experimentally test the detailed physical model of the eLISA instrument using the hardware, which is going to be flown on eLISA. This model predicts that no true forces on test-bodies will compete with gravitational signals in excess to fN/Hz^(-1/2). The mission is in phase C/D and is due to launch in two years.

09:00 TOP Detector for Particle Identification at the Belle II Experiment

The Belle II experiment is an upcoming experiment based on the SuperKEKB e+e- collider, which will provide almost two orders of magnitude higher instantaneous luminosity than the KEKB e+e- collider. We aim to measure precisely the parameters of the Standard Model and search for physics beyond the Standard Model. We report here on the time-of-propagation (``TOP'') detector, which plays an essential role in the identification of charged particles at the Belle II experiment. Each TOP counter consists of a quartz radiator and 32 micro-channel-plate photomultiplier tubes (``MCP-PMTs''). The Cherenkov photons traveling in the quartz radiator are detected by the MCP-PMTs, and the time and the position are used to reconstruct the Cherenkov angle corresponding to the velocity. The quartz radiator is polished with a roughness of < 0.5 nm in RMS and a flatness of < 6.3 um to ensure photon efficiency and maintain the angles of the Cherenkov photons, respectively, over hundreds of reflections at the quartz surfaces. The MCP-PMTs can detect single photons with a timing resolution better than 50 psec. The key features of the TOP counter as well as a performance study using a full-size prototype are presented. We plan to install 16 TOP counters in the Belle II detector in early 2015. The status and the plan for the construction are also shown.

09:15 The ARICH detector at Belle II experiment

We will present overview of Aerogel Ring Imaging CHerenkov counter (ARICH) which is developed as a particle identification detector in next generationB-factory experiment, the Belle II. The ARICH consists of aerogel radiator and photo sensor. When charged particle goes through the radiator, it emits Cherenkov light to the direction which depends on the particle mass. Using this dependance, we identify the particle by reproducing the ring image with high sensitive photon sensor array. We develop new photon sensor named Hybrid Avalanche Photo Detector (HAPD) to collect a small number of Cherenkov photon distributed in large area effectively. We set up a part of ARICH detector and perform beam tests using electron and hadron beam line at KEK, CERN and DESY. From the obtained results, we expect that it is possible to separate kaon and pion by 4 sigma deviation level if we use this system. To evaluate the effect of radiation for HAPD in long period experiment, we perform radiation hardness tests using 60Co gamma-ray source and neutron beam line. Mass production of HAPD and electronics has been started and ARICH will be constructed from this year. Installation to the Belle II detector will be completed in 2015.

09:30 First results of the Focusing DIRC prototype, an innovative detector for charged particle identification

The FDIRC (Focusing Detector of Internally Reflected Cherenkov light) is a charged particle identification (PID) detector which separates efficiently kaons from pions up to a few GeV/c. It is the successor of the BaBar DIRC, which was successfully operated at the PEP-II B-Factory during a decade, and benefits from the knowledge accumulated with a first focusing DIRC prototype, built and operated at SLAC in the recent years. The FDIRC is a ring-imaging Cherenkov detector based on the same concept as the BaBar DIRC. Yet, its design has been significantly improved to be able to operate at much higher luminosity (10^36 cm^-2s^-1) and with larger backgrounds. Indeed, the FDIRC was intended to cover the barrel region of the SuperB detector, a new generation flavour factory cancelled at the end of 2012 due to lack of funding. The FDIRC photon camera has been completely redesigned, moving from a huge tank of ultra-pure water to much smaller focusing cameras with sophisticated solid fused silica optics. The BaBar camera was sensitive to background and its operation required constant attention due to the possibility of having water leaking inside the rest of the detector. The new cameras are instrumented with highly-pixelated Hamamatsu H-8500 MaPMTs, readout by new fast front-end digitizing electronics. The goal is to have a detection chain about 10 times faster than in BaBar, allowing the FDIRC to reject more background hits and to measure Cherenkov angles more accurately. A full-scale prototype of a FDIRC sector (1/12th of the whole detector) has been successfully built at SLAC and is taking data in the Cosmic Ray Telescope facility since the beginning of 2013. The primary goals of this R&D program are to validate the innovative camera design, to test the full detection chain and to measure the FDIRC Cherenkov angle resolution. In this contribution, we briefly review the FDIRC design and the construction of the SLAC prototype. Then, we focus on the challenges associated with the FDIRC data analysis and present the methods which are being developed to convert photon hits in the MaPMT pixels to Cherenkov angles. This work is based upon a detailed Geant4-based simulation of the test facility. Finally, we summarize the status of the ongoing data taking phase and present the first preliminary results based on data.

09:45 Upgrade of the CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter for High-Luminosity LHC Operation

The Electromagnetic Calorimeter (ECAL) of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the LHC is a hermetic, fine grained, homogeneous calorimeter, comprising 75,848 lead tungstate scintillating crystals, located inside the CMS superconducting solenoidal magnet. It was designed to operate for a minimum of ten years at the LHC, with an instantaneous luminosity of 2x10^34/cm^2/s and for an integrated luminosity of 500/fb. The high luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) is expected to provide an instantaneous luminosity of around 5 x 10^34/cm^2/s and integrate a total luminosity of around 3000/fb by about 2035 (ten years of data taking). The evolution of the CMS ECAL at HL-LHC is being assessed. We present results of an intensive campaign of component irradiations and ageing studies, complemented by simulations of the physics performance of the aged detector. Several upgrade options are shown, including replacements of the electronics to provide greater triggering flexibility, and new endcap detectors. The latter is the subject of much ongoing R&D and several potential technologies are presented here.

10:00 Dual-readout calorimetry - excellent precision for ALL particles, and NO calibration issues

Simultaneous detection of the Cherenkov light and scintillation light produced in hadron showers makes it possible to measure the electromagnetic shower fraction event by event and thus eliminate the detrimental effects of fluctuations in this fraction on the performance of hadron calorimeters. In the RD52 (DREAM) project, the possibilities of this dual-readout calorimetry are investigated and optimized. In this talk, the latest results of this project will be presented. These results concern beam tests of the new full-scale Dual-Readout fiber calorimeter that were recently carried out at CERN.

10:15 Development of highly granular calorimeters in CALICE

The design of calorimeter systems for a detector at a future Linear Collider (ILC, CLIC) is largely driven by the requirements of jet reconstruction. The particle flow technique has been shown to be capable of achieving an energy resolution ~30%/sqrtE, permitting the discrimination of W and Z bosons in their hadronic decays. Such performance requires the separation of neutral and charged energy deposits in the calorimeters, which in turn demands that they have high spatial granularity both transversely and longitudinally, and be placed within the magnet coil. CALICE has been developing prototype calorimeters to meet these requirements. The electromagnetic calorimeter is based on tungsten absorber read out using either silicon pads of ~5x5 mm^2 and/or crossed short scintillator strips of ~5x45 mm^2. The hadronic calorimeter could use iron or tungsten absorber, sampled using either scintillator tiles of ~3x3 cm^2 or gaseous detectors with ~1x1 cm^2 readout. The scintillator option uses analogue readout, while the gas detectors (RPCs, Micromegas or GEMs) use either digital (1 bit) or semi-digital (2 bit) readout. All these options are being pursued in CALICE. Key issues include: extreme compactness (so that the calorimeters can be located inside the magnet), hermeticity and scalability, power cycling (exploiting the time structure of the accelerator to minimise the need for cooling), and precise timing (especially for CLIC applications). We report on recent R&D and test beam activities from CALICE which address all these key questions.

The BaBar collaboration has reported an excess in semileptonic b -> c tau nu transitions that has gathered recent interest as a possible signature of new physics.

Interestingly, respecting these constraints, sizable effects in B->tau nu and B->D(*) tau are possible and in all three decays the tensions between the SM and experiment can be removed.

09:45 New physics searches at Belle

We report the first branching fraction measurement of the inclusive Cabibbo favoured semileptonic decay $B\to X_c \tau\nu$ by the Belle experiment. The branching fraction of this kinematically suppressed mode is highly sensitive to new physics beyond the Standard Model, such as a charged Higgs, which couples strongly to the massive $\tau$ lepton and interfere with the Standard Model process. This measurement will shed light on the contributions from all tauonic $B$ decay modes, including high mass and non-resonant contributions, $B \to D^{**}/D^{(*)}n\pi \tau \nu$ which may be the cause for observed excesses above the SM in the exclusive channels. The full Belle dataset is used, containing 772 million $B\bar{B}$ meson pairs recorded near the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. The $B$ meson events are tagged by fully reconstructing one $B$ in a hadronic mode. The charm meson on the signal side is identified by the presence of a wrong-sign lepton, and the $\tau$ is reconstructed in several leptonic and hadronic modes. Multivariate selection techniques are used to optimise the signal selection.

Additional studies of the momentum transferred to the lepton system show that the result can be accommodated by more general  two-Higgs-Doublet models.

The resulting protection for the Z->b_L b_L and Z->\tau_R\tau_R decays allows for potentially interesting signals in Higgs physics, while maintaining the good agreement of the Standard Model with precision tests. The setups can be motivated as the low energy effective theories of the composite Higgs models MCHM_5 and MCHM_10, where the spectra can be identified with the light custodians present in these theories. I will show that these describe the relevant physics in the fermion sectors in a simplified and transparent way. In contrast to previous studies of composite models, the impact of a realistic lepton sector on the Higgs decays is taken into account.

10:20 Viability of light-Higgs strongly-coupled scenarios

We present a one-loop calculation of the oblique S and T parameters within strongly-coupled models of EW symmetry breaking with a Higgs-like boson and analyze the phenomenological implications. Using dispersive representations free of unphysical cut-offs, we obtain S and T at the one-loop level in terms of a few resonance parameters. On the contrary to a widely spread believe, we demonstrate that strongly coupled EW models with massive resonances are not in conflict with the experimental S and T and the recently discovered Higgs-like particle. Nevertheless, the masses of the new vector and axial-vector resonance are forced to lie in general above the TeV scale and the hWW coupling must be very close to that in the Standard Model. Our conclusions are generic and apply to more specific scenarios such as the minimal SO(5)/SO(4) composite Higgs model.

10:15 NLO QCD corrections to the production of W+W+jj in vector-boson fusion at the LHC

Vector-boson fusion processes involving the scattering of vector bosons constitute an irreducible background to Higgs-boson production in association with two jets, as they share the same kinematical characteristics. It is therefore desirable to obtain accurate theoretical predictions and error estimates for these background processes with accuracy that goes beyond the leading order. I show an efficient method for calculating the next-to-leading-order QCD corrections to both resonant and non-resonant contributions to the vector boson fusion processes and present results for a class of processes associated with production of two W+, including the complete set of electroweak leading-order diagrams for the six-particle final state and quantitatively assessing the size of the s-channel and interference contributions in VBF kinematics.

The effects of parton energy loss in cold nuclear matter on heavy-quarkonium suppression in p-A collisions are studied. It is shown from first principles that at large quarkonium energy E and small production angle in the nucleus rest frame, the medium-induced energy loss scales as E. Using this result, a phenomenological model depending on a single free parameter is able to reproduce J/psi and Upsilon suppression data in a broad xF and pT range and at various center-of-mass energies. These results strongly support energy loss as the dominant effect in heavy-quarkonium suppression in p-A collisions.

During the heavy-ion runs at the LHC in 2010 and 2011, and during the proton- lead run in 2013, the ALICE experiment implemented dedicated triggers to select ultra-peripheral collisions. These triggers were based on the Muon spectrometer, the Time-of-Flight detector, the Silicon Pixel detector, and the VZERO scintillator array. Information from other detectors was also used in the analysis. The cross section for photoproduction of J/Psi meson at mid and forward rapidities in Pb-Pb collisions will be presented.

If LHC finds no signatures of new physics (thus confirming the Standard Model) the necessity to explain the observed beyond-the-Standard-Model (BSM) phenomena, in particular neutrino masses, Dark Matter and matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe, should largely shape the further development of particle physics.

12:30 Cosmological implications and LHC signatures of the E6 inspired SUSY models

We consider the implications of the $E_6$ inspired supersymmetric (SUSY) models with an additional $U(1)_N$ gauge symmetry under which right--handed neutrinos have zero charge for collider phenomenology and cosmology. To ensure anomaly cancellation and gauge coupling unification the low energy matter content of these models involve three $27$ representations of $E_6$ and a pair of $SU(2)$ doublets from additional $27$ and $\overline{27}$. Thus the considered models predict $Z'$ boson and extra exotic matter beyond the MSSM. We argue that exotic states can play a key role in generation of baryon asymmetry of the Universe through leptogenesis. In particular, the results of our analysis suggest that the successful thermal leptogenesis can be achieved without encountering problems related with the overproduction of gravitinos. Exotic states can also give rise to new channels of Higgs decays. We study the phenomenology of Higgs bosons and explore the two--loop renormalisation group (RG) flow of couplings in the framework of these models. We also consider the production of the Z' and exotic quarks at the LHC that may provide spectacular new physics signals. In the considered models there can be two states which are absolutely stable and can contribute to the dark matter density.

The Cherwell device consists of several arrays of pixels optimised either for vertexing or for calorimetry. For the former, two subarrays were designed. The first one has 96x48 pixels on a 25 um pitch. Each pixel consists of a low-noise 4T pixel, lifted from the previously tested sensor FORTIS. The readout is on a rolling shutter base with a fine resolution 12-bit, single-slope column parallel ADC. The second array has a similar structure but the column-parallel ADC was folded back into the array, to generate strixels. The use of the INMAPS process allows the PMOS transistors for the ADC to be isolated into deep P-wells islands, thus preserving the 100% fill factor of the pixel. The pixels for calorimetry are arranged into 2 arrays: one of 96x48 pixels on a 25um pitch and the one of 48x24 pixels on a 50 um pitch. Readout is done through column-parallel ADCs as the ones used for the tracking array. The pixel architecture is built around the same 4T pixel mentioned above, but has additional devices to provide snapshot and in-pixel correlated double sampling (CDS) capability. At the periphery of the 25um pixel array, additional circuitry is added to provide charge summing of 2x2 pixels during readout. The Cherwell sensor was manufactured on a standard resistivity as well as on high (>1kOhm cm) epitaxial wafers. This latter would allow the charge collection to be helped by an electric drift field. The sensor has been characterised with different sources of radiation, and studied in test-beam CERN. Experimental results will be presented at the conference. We have also designed a new device, Cherwell 2, as a prototype for a silicon tracker to be used in the upgrade of ALICE.

11:15 Radiation-hard Active Pixel Detectors based on HV-CMOS Technology for HL-LHC Detector Upgrades

State-of-the-art particle physics detectors at colliders contain a pixel detector as heart of their particle tracker to cope with the large density of particle tracks near the interaction point. For radiation damage reasons, mostly hybrid detectors were used which comprise a silicon pixel sensor fabricated on high-resistivity FZ silicon and a bump-bonded readout chip in deep sub-micron technology. The requirement for bump-bonding and mechanical demands constrained the pixel pitch/size to larger than ~50-100µm and also led to elevated costs which prevented the instrumentation of larger areas with pixel detectors. This is an issue in particular for HL-LHC upgrades of the existing trackers where the areas instrumented with pixel detectors will be significantly larger due to the higher occupancy at elevated luminosities. Deep-submicron HV CMOS processes feature moderate bulk resistivity and HV capability and are therefore good candidates for drift-based radiation-hard monolithic active pixel sensors (MAPS). It is possible to apply up to 100V of bias voltage leading to a depletion depth of ~10-20 um. Thanks to the high electric field, charge collection is fast and nearly insensitive to radiation-induced trapping. Due to the still rather high dopant concentration, almost no radiation effect is expected to the depletion voltage. We explore the concept of using such a HV CMOS process to produce a drop-in replacement for traditional radiation hard silicon sensors. Such active sensors contain only simple circuits to amplify and either discriminate or condition the basic pulses created by charged particles. A traditional readout chip is still needed to receive and organize the data from the active sensor and handle high level functionality such as trigger management. The devices are tested with the ATLAS FE-I4 pixel readout chip and the the ATLAS ABCN and the LHCb Beetle strip readout chips. Either strip-like or pixel-like readout can be selected on the same device. While a readout chip is still needed (unlike the case of an ideal MAPS device that contains all sensing and processing functionality in one), the active sensor approach offers many advantages: such sensors can be fabricated in a fully commercial CMOS process without need for special substrates or processing and will therefore cost less than traditional diode sensors, they can be thinned to the limit of the collection layer resulting in much lower mass, they require relatively low bias voltage, and they can operate at room temperature or with only moderate cooling after irradiation. In addition, they can contain sub-pixels with smaller pitch than the readout chip and improve the spatial resolution compared to standard sensors by encoding the hit sub-pixels in the signal sent to the readout chip. From a practical perspective, maintaining the traditional separation between sensing and processing functions lowers development cost and makes use of existing infrastructure. Active sensors can also be seen as a first step towards 3D-integrated electronics in which the analogue tier contains the sensor. To explore the performance and radiation hardness of active sensors, the HV2FEI4 ASIC was produced in the AMS H18 process. It is compatible with the pixel and strip readout chips mentioned above and features a matrix of 60 by 24 pixels with a pixel cell size of 33 by 125 um. Thanks to relying on active circuits, capacitive coupling to the pixel readout chip is feasible and is explored with HV2FEI4 chips glued to FE-I4s. The option to replace the expensive and time-consuming bump-bonding by gluing would significantly lower the cost of future large-scale Pixel Detector upgrades and enable the instrumentation of larger areas with pixel detectors. For comparison, bump-bonding the HV2FEI4 with gold stud-bumps is still possible. The HV2FEI4 pixels are combined to match the readout multiplicity of the respective chips: for the pixel readout, three HV-CMOS pixels are multiplexed onto one FE-I4 pixel such that the hit pixels are encoded by the pulse height. In this way, the position resolution of the HV-CMOS sensor can be significantly better than the granularity of the readout chip suggests. For the strip readout, the pixel cells are combined to form virtual strips. Here, the z-position of the hit is encoded via the discriminator's pulse height and can be evaluated by analogue strip readout electronics like the Beetle chip. The presentation will give an overview of the characterization results of the HV2FEI4 chip and highlight first experience with both pixel and strip readout. In addition, the status of the irradiation programme will be summarized and future prospects will be discussed.

11:30 DEPFET pixel detectors for future electron-positron experiments

The DEPFET Collaboration develops highly granular, ultra-thin pixel detectors for outstanding vertex reconstruction at future collider experiments. A DEPFET sensor, by the integration of a field effect transistor on a fully depleted silicon bulk, provides simultaneously position sensitive detector capabilities and in-pixel amplification. The characterization of the latest DEPFET prototypes has proven that a comfortable signal to noise ratio and excellent single point resolution can be achieved for a sensor thickness of 50 micrometers. The close to final auxiliary ASICs have been produced and found to operate a DEPFET pixel detector of the latest generation with the required read-out speed. A complete detector concept is being developed for the Belle II experiment at the new Japanese super flavour factory. DEPFET is not only the technology of choice for the Belle II vertex detector, but also a solid candidate for the ILC. Therefore, in this talk, the status of DEPFET R&D project is reviewed in the light of the requirements of the vertex detector at future electron-positron colliders.

11:45 Development of inner tracking systems equipped with CMOS pixel sensors for future collider experiments

The physics goals of a growing number of subatomic physics experiments assume vertexing and tracking performances calling for a specific pixel technology, which offers a high data rate capability as well as precision, low power and cost standards departing from those of the most widely used devices. CMOS Pixel Sensors (CPS), and the ultra-light systems they equip, address this challenge. Because of their micron level resolution, their 10-20 µm thin sensitive volume and their fully integrated, low power, FEE, CPS have already been chosen for vertex detectors of heavy ion collision experiments (STAR at RHIC, CBM at FAIR, ...). A new step was achieved in 2012 with the decision to base on CPS the upgrade of the whole, nearly 10 m2 wide, Inner Tracker System of the ALICE experiment at LHC. CPS are actually being considered for a number of AA, pp and e+e- collision experiments, where the reconstruction of displaced vertices and tracks calls for micrometric precision in a high hit density environment. The capability of CPS to comply with the most ambitious of these requirements relies on a recently addressed CMOS technology, which was extensively tested with beam particles at the CERN-SPS in 2012. The test results confirm the possibility to deal with particle rates in the order of 10^7/cm2/s and with radiation loads in the order of 1-10 MRad and 10^13-10^14 n_eq/cm2, depending on the operating temperature. The proposed talk will provide an overview of the measured performances for these CPS prototypes and explain the proposed development path to reach real size sensors with full functionality. We will finally underline how the design of inner tracking systems could benefit from the CPS performances flexibility, through the combination of several layers equipped with CPS featuring different optimizations.

12:15 Development of large size Micromegas detectors for the upgrade of the ATLAS experiments.

The luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN foresees a luminosity increase by a factor 5 compared to the LHC. To cope with the corresponding rate increase, the Muon System of the ATLAS experiment at CERN needs to be upgraded. In the first station of the high rapidity region, micromegas detectors have been chosen as the main tracking chambers but will, at the same time, also contribute to the trigger. We describe the R&D efforts that led to the construction of the first 2.4 x 1 m2 large micromegas detectors at CERN and outline the next steps towards the construction of the 1500 m2 of micromegas detectors for the ATLAS upgrade. The technical solutions, including the resistive spark protection, adopted in the construction of the two chambers as well as results on the detector performance with cosmic rays are shown.

12:30 Precision Tracking with small-strip Thin Gap Chamber (sTGC): from Test Beam to ATLAS NSW Upgrade

The super-LHC (sLHC) is expected to operate with a luminosity of 7x1034 cm-2s-1 after the forthcoming luminosity upgrade which will increase by approximately a factor five, both the physics event rate and the beam background. It is essential to update the present inner most Muon Spectrometer components in the forward region to cope with these high rates. The small-strip Thin Gap Chambers (sTGC) has been chosen to provide both a fast trigger and high precision muon tracking for the ATLAS New Small Wheel (NSW). Developments of sTGC detector have been carried out over the past years, different chambers have been tested with cosmic rays, in test beam and under different irradiations. Large prototypes (1.2 x 0.8 m2) containing four gas gaps, each gap providing pads, strips and wires, yielded a position resolution better than 70µm at perpendicular incidence angle and less than 130µm for 30 degrees incidence angle. The results have been repeated with different front-end electronics and have been confirmed during a combined TGC-sMDT test beam where sMDT provided precision tracking. The detectors have been shown to withstand a high total irradiation dose equivalent to 6 Coulomb/cm of wire. The tests of a new electronic chain (including the new VMM chip under development by BNL) have also been realized. The results of these various tests are presented. The new, 8 layer sTGC and 8 layer MM (MicroMegas) based, ATLAS New Small Wheel (NSW) muon detector under high beam background will be reviewed and dedicated simulation studies will be presented. The simulation includes the response of the detector and the readout electronics. These studies show that the 8 layer sTGC detector provides robust precision tracking with high efficiency, where the expected muon PT resolution is around 10% for muons with 1TeV transverse momentum.

Electronics can be modernized by profiting from recent developments. In addition, detector R&D is ongoing, to possibly install other types of detectors, allowing to improve the trigger and tracking capabilities in the forward region.

11:00 Implications of Br(μ-> e γ) and Δa_mu on muonic lepton flavour violating processes

We study the implications of the experimental results on the \mu -> e\gamma decay rate and the muon anomalous magnetic moment, on muonic lepton flavor violating processes, such as \mu -> 3 e and \mu N -> e N. We use a model independent approach in this analysis, where these processes are considered to be loop induced by exchanging spin 1/2 and spin 0 particles. We explore two complementary cases, which has no or has an internal (built-in) cancellation mechanism in amplitudes. Our main results are as following. (a) Bounds from rates are used to constrain parameters, such as coupling constants and masses. These constraints can be easily updated by simple scalings, if the experimental situations change. (b) The muon g-2 data favors non-chiral interactions. (c) In \mu -> 3 e and \mu N -> e N processes, Z-penguin diagrams may play some role, while box diagrams contributions are usually highly constrained. (d) In the first case (without any built-in cancellation mechanism), using the recent \mu -> e\gamma bound, we find that \mu -> 3e and \mu N -> e N rates are bounded below the present experimental limits by two to three orders of magnitudes in general. Furthermore, by comparing \Delta a_\mu and Br(\mu->e\gamma) data, the couplings of \mu and e are found to be highly hierarchical. Additional suppression mechanism should be called for. (e) In the second case (with a built-in cancellation mechanism), mixing angles can provide additional suppression factors to satisfy the \Delta a_\mu and Br(\mu -> e\gamma) bounds. While the \mu-> 3 e rate remains suppressed, the bounds on \mu N -> e N rates, implicated from the latest \mu -> e\gamma bound, can be relaxed significantly and can be just below the present experimental limits.

We present the upgrade program of MEG experiment to search for the lepton-flavor-violating decay, mu to e gamma, aiming for a sensitivity enhancement of one order of magnitude compared to the final MEG result. The key feature of this program is to increase the rate capability of all detectors to enable running at more than twice higher beam intensity, which is the intensity frontier of DC muon beam provided by PSI accelerator facility, with significantly improving the efficiency and resolutions of detectors at both positron and gamma sides. In this talk, we present how we achieve it. The progress of R&D, which has been underway since 2011, is also reported. Data-taking could start in 2016 and the goal sensitivity will be achieved for a running time of 3 years.

12:00 Belle II at SuperKEKB, a super B factory

B factories have successfully confirmed that the Standard Model with the CKM matrix offers a correct description of the quark weak transitions and of CP violation. The next generation B factory (the so called super B factory) will search for New Physics effects by looking for departures from the Standard Model predictions in precision measurements. For such studies, a 50 times larger data sample is needed, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 50 ab^-1. To achieve the necessary increase of event rates by a factor of 40, a substantial upgrade is required both of the accelerator complex as well as of the detector. To maintain the excellent performance of the detector, the critical issue will be to mitigate the effects of higher backgrounds (by a factor of 10 to 20), leading to an increase in occupancy and radiation damage, as well as fake hits and pile-up noise in the electromagnetic calorimeter. Higher event rates require substantial modifications in the trigger scheme, DAQ and computing relative to the current experiments. In addition, improved vertex detection and hadron identification are needed, and similarly good (or better) hermeticity is required. We will discuss the motivation for a future super B factory at KEK and its expected physics potential, as well as the requirements for the accelerator and for the detector. Finally, the present status of the project will be presented together with the plans for the future.

An extended QCD sector beyond the minimal supersymmetric standard model or the admission of R-parity violation introduces new signatures to the search for supersymmetry at the LHC. Strongly interacting resonances may decay to jets, sleptons may decay via lepton-flavour violating processes and lightest supersymmetric particles may decay into many leptons with or without missing transverse momentum. Several supersymmetric models also predict massive long-lived supersymmetric particles. Such particles may be detected through abnormal specific energy loss, appearing or disappearing tracks, displaced vertices, long time-of-flight or late calorimetric energy deposits.

Relic monopoles would have drifted due to the Earth's internal magnetic field.

The MoEDAL detectors are based on two complementary techniques: nuclear-track detectors are sensitive to the high-ionisation signature expected from a monopole, and the new magnetic monopole trapper (MMT) relies on the stopping and trapping of monopoles inside an aluminium array which is then analysed with a superconducting magnetometer. Preliminary results obtained with the MoEDAL MMT will be presented, where monopoles with charge above the fundamental unit magnetic charge or mass above 1.5 TeV are probed for the first time at the LHC.

Finally, the probability for third-jet emission in events containing a W boson and at least two jets is studied by measuring the fraction of events in the inclusive W+2-jet sample that contain a third jet over a p_T threshold.

11:20 Top quark mass measurements in ATLAS

Measurements of the top quark mass in proton-proton collisions with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider are presented. They are performed in various channels: single lepton, dilepton and all-hadronic final states. The most precise measurement is obtained in the single lepton channel using a 3-dimensional template technique which determines the top quark mass together with a global jet energy scale factor, and a relative b-jet to light-jet energy scale factor.

12:40 Top quark mass measurements at and above threshold in e+e- collisions at Linear Colliders

Linear electron-positron colliders provide possibilities for top quark mass measurements with unprecedented precision, which are of high relevance to explore the stability of the Standard Model. Two complementary techniques for the measurement of the top mass in e+e- annihilation exist: The direct reconstruction of the invariant mass of the top quark decay products at energies above the top pair production threshold and the measurement of the mass in a threshold scan. Both of these approaches have recently been studied for CLIC using GEANT4-based detector simulations and full event reconstruction including realistic physics and beam-induced background levels. For both techniques, total errors of around 100 MeV or better are achieved, including a first study of expected systematic uncertainties. For the threshold scan, the precision at ILC is also studied to provide a comparison of the two linear collider technologies.

11:00 Recent developments in jet quenching theory

Motivated by the new experimental capabilities of the LHC and the new results from heavy-ion experiments, several extensions of the standard calculations of energy loss have been made recently. In this presentation, I will provide a short overview of recent developments in jet quenching theory. First, I will discuss some improvements computed by different groups to implement energy-momentum conservation in a rigorous way, relaxing some of the assumptions that were made in the standard jet quenching calculations. Second, quantum interference effects between different parton emitters when propagating through an extended coloured medium will be considered, within a quark-antiquark antenna as a model setup. Finally, other recent extensions as the modification of the colour flow inside a jet in a QCD medium with respect to vacuum, and the use of SCET to compute transverse momentum broadening and medium-induced gluon radiation, will be very briefly presented.

11:20 Minimum Bias Charged Jet Spectra in Proton-Lead Collisions with the ALICE Detector at the LHC

Rüdiger Haake, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Germany on behalf of the ALICE collaboration Highly energetic jets are sensitive probes for the kinematics and the topology of high energy collisions. They are produced in an early stage of the collision from hard scattered partons that hadronize and eventually form jets as a spray of charged and neutral particles. The measurement in pPb provides an important reference to study the effects of cold nuclear matter on jet production and hadronization. This is possible because the formation of a hot and dense medium like in PbPb is not expected. Besides the comparison to PbPb collisions, pPb analyses can also be an important constraint for the nuclear parton density functions. In terms of analysis techniques, the exact evaluation of the background from the underlying event is an important ingredient. It is much smaller than in PbPb so that the methods for background estimation need to be refined. Our jet analysis of pPb collisions at \sqrt{s_NN} = 5.02 TeV is performed on data taken by the ALICE detector at the LHC in the beginning of 2013. The focus of our analysis lies on the minimum bias jet spectra and their comparison to the spectra from pp collisions. For this analysis various estimates for the background and its fluctuations have been tested in pPb and PYTHIA MC simulations. Also, different unfolding settings have been evaluated.

11:36 Inclusive Spectrum of Fully Reconstructed Jets in Central Au+Au Collisions at sqrt(s)=200 GeV by the STAR Collaboration

Jets are collimated sprays of particles arising from the fragmentation of hard-scattered partons in high-energy collisions. In collisions of heavy nuclei, jets serve as probes of the hot and dense nuclear matter created, and the study of the modification of their structure due to interaction with the surrounding medium (known as "jet quenching") is an important tool for understanding the medium properties. One can learn much about jet quenching from studying single particles and few-particle correlations, however, only full jet reconstruction can lead to a comprehensive understanding of jet quenching and corresponding medium properties. Due to the large and fluctuating background, full jet reconstruction in heavy-ion collisions is an extremely challenging task. In this talk, we present a new measurement of the inclusive spectrum of fully reconstructed jets in central Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s)=200 GeV, by the STAR collaboration at RHIC. We utilize an experimental technique in which the jet reconstruction is stable against emission of an additional soft hadron ("infrared safety"), even in the high-multiplicity environment of such events. The large combinatorial background is suppressed by a threshold cut on the leading hadron of each jet candidate. This cut is however unsafe against collinear splitting of hard partons (i.e. a true jet may be rejected for certain splitting configurations), and its systematics are explored. The influence of the background density fluctuations on the inclusive jet spectrum is then corrected by an iterative unfolding technique based on Bayes's Theorem. We compare this measurement to the jet spectrum in p+p and d+Au collisions, and to model predictions.

11:52 Baryon production mechanisms and jet energy loss in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC energies

Hadron production in relativistic heavy ion collisions usually consists of two main channels in the intermediate-pT region at RHIC and LHC energies: parton coalescence/recombination and jet fragmentation. We have explored a new channel, namely hadron production from strong time dependent coherent field produced in heavy ion collisions. One can investigate direct hadron production from strong field or quark-antiquark production and later hadron formation from these elementary ingredients. We focus on pair-production and investigate the influence of this new channel on baryon production. In the momentum window of 5 GeV/c < pT < 25 GeV/c this channel could yield an extra baryon production not considered earlier. However, in this momentum window jet energy loss is strongly modifying hadron spectra in heavy ion collisions. The overlap of hadron production yields and energy loss effects creates a very complex environment, which is worthwhile to investigate for obtaining information on the hot and dense partonic matter produced in heavy ion collisions. We study the details of this overlap and investigate it at RHIC and LHC energies. We present our recent results obtained on the basis of our previously published papers [1][2]. [1] P. Levai, D.

12:12 Probing pPb collisions with jets in CMS

Jets are an important tool to probe the medium produced in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. In PbPb collisions a significant energy loss (jet quenching) of the partons traversing the hot and dense medium has been observed and quantified through a variety of measurements: dijet momentum imbalance, photon-jet correlations, measurements of the fragmentation pattern and the jet shapes, charged hadron nuclear modification factors. It is expected that in pPb collisions the hot medium is not produced. It is important to study the effect of the cold nuclear medium on the hard-scattering probes. The first CMS measurements of jets in pPb collisions will be presented.

The data was obtained during the LHC 2013 proton-lead with integrated luminosity of approximately 30nb-1. Forward jet production in proton-lead collisions is expected to be sensitive to saturation of parton distribution in the lead nucleus. ATLAS measurements of the dijet azimuthal angle difference distributions in p+Pb collisions will be presented as a function of centrality and compared to similar measurements in p+p collisions at 2.76 TeV.

All these measurements in PbPb collisions will be presented and compared with observations in 2.76 TeV pp collisions to probe for distortions from energy loss in the hot and dense medium. Since many of these observables have low correlation to one-another they serve as useful independent confirmations of the quenching properties.

The Planck satellite, selected by ESA in 1996, was launched in 2009 and delivered on March 21st 2013 its first full sky maps of the millimetric emission at 9 frequencies, and maps derived from them, in particular the map of the anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). I will briefly recall the characteristics of the Planck instruments, and describe the data processing performed to obtain these high resolution maps. The CMB anisotropies reveal the primordial fluctuations which initiate the growth of the large scale structures of the Universe transformed by the action of gravitation during the first 370,000 years, until the Universe became transparent, forming the image we record today. The statistical characteristics of these anisotropies allow constraining jointly the physics of the creation of the primordial fluctuations and their evolution and finding the values of the parameters of the models which we confront to data. I will describe the Planck estimates of the density of constituents of the Universe and their implication in terms of derived quantities like the expansion rate or the spatial curvature. I will review what we learnt on the generation of fluctuations (inflation) and will discuss the extensions of the standard cosmological model (neutrinos, cosmic strings, …). I will also show the results on the matter distribution which slightly distort the CMB image by gravitational lensing.

16:00 Minimal Supersymmetric Hybrid Inflation in Light of WMAP 9 and PLANCK

The minimal F-term hybrid inflation model is defined by a unique renormalizable superpotential, fixed by a U(1) R-symmetry, and employs a minimal canonical Kaehler potential. The inflationary potential takes into account both radiative and supergravity corrections, as well as an important soft supersymmetry breaking term. With n_s in the vicinity of 0.96-0.97, as strongly indicated by the recent PLANCK and WMAP-9yr measurements, the model predicts that the tensor to scalar ratio r is extremely tiny, of order 10^-14 - 10^-11, and therefore well outside the reach of PLANCK and other contemporary experiments. It also predicts that |dn_s/dlnk|~ 4 x 10^-4. If inflation is associated with the spontaneous breaking of a local U(1) symmetry such as B-L, the symmetry breaking scale is predicted to be 1-2 x 10^15 GeV. Consequently, this scenario is naturally compatible with seesaw physics and non-thermal leptogenesis can be readily implemented. We also comment on the constraints that arise due to cosmic strings from the U(1) symmetry breaking.

15:00 The LHCb trigger system: performance and outlook

The LHCb experiment is a spectrometer dedicated to the study of heavy flavor at the LHC. The rate of proton-proton collisions at the LHC is 15 MHz, of which only 5 kHz can be written to storage for offline analytsis. For this reason the LHCb data acquisition system -- trigger -- plays a key role in selecting signal events and rejecting background. In contrast to previous experiments at hadron colliders, the bulk of the LHCb trigger is implemented in software and deployed on a farm of 20k parallel processing nodes. This system, called the High Level Trigger (HLT) is responsible for reducing the rate from the maximum at which the detector can be read out, 1.1 MHz, to the 5 kHz which can be processed offline, and has, on average, 20 ms to decide whether to accept an event. The inherent flexibility of this software trigger allowed LHCb to run at twice its design instantaneous luminosity in 2012. Simultaneously, the HLT performed far beyond the nominal design in terms of signal efficiencies, in particular for charm physics. It also showcased a number of pioneering concepts, for example : the deployment of an inclusive multivariate B-hadron tagger as the main physics trigger of the experiment, buffering of events to local disks in order to leverage the otherwise idle resources when the LHC does not produce collisions, and simulation-free event-by-event trigger efficiency corrections. This talk will cover the design and performance of the LHCb trigger system, and discuss planned improvements beyond LS1, in particular plans for real-time detector alignment and calibration in order to allow the trigger to perform offline quality selections, as well as plans for the LHCb upgrade trigger.

15:15 GPU for Real Time processing in HEP trigger systems

We describe a pilot project for the use of GPUs (Graphics processing units) in online triggering applications for high energy physics experiments. Two major trends can be identified in the development of trigger and DAQ systems for particle physics experiments: the massive use of general-purpose commodity systems such as commercial multicore PC farms for data acquisition, and the reduction of trigger levels implemented in hardware, towards a pure software selection system (trigger-less). The very innovative approach presented here aims at exploiting the parallel computing power of commercial GPUs to perform fast computations in software both in early trigger stages and in high level triggers. General-purpose computing on GPUs is emerging as a new paradigm in several fields of science, although so far applications have been tailored to the specific strengths of such devices as accelerator in offline computation. With the steady reduction of GPU latencies, and the increase in link and memory throughputs, the use of such devices for real-time applications in high-energy physics data acquisition and trigger systems is becoming ripe. We will discuss in details the use of online parallel computing on GPU for synchronous low level trigger with fixed latency. In particular we will show the preliminary results on a first field test in the CERN NA62 experiment. The use of GPUs in high level triggers will be also considered, the CERN ATLAS experiment (and in particular the muon trigger) will be taken as a study case of possible applications.

After successful LHC operation at the center-of-mass energy of 7 and 8 TeV in 2011 and 2012, plans are actively advancing for a series of upgrades, culminating roughly 10 years from now in the high luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project, delivering of order five times the LHC nominal instantaneous luminosity along with luminosity levelling. The final goal is to extend the data set from about few hundred fb-1 expected for LHC running to 3000 fb-1 by around 2030. Current planning in ATLAS also has significant upgrades to the detector during the consolidation of the LHC to reach full LHC energy and further upgrades to accommodate running already beyond nominal luminosity this decade. The challenge of coping with HL-LHC instantaneous and integrated luminosity, along with the associated radiation levels, requires further major changes to the ATLAS detector. The designs are developing rapidly for an all-new inner-tracker, significant upgrades in the calorimeter and muon systems, as well as improved triggers and data acquisition. This presentation summarises the various improvements to the ATLAS detector required to cope with the anticipated evolution of the LHC instantaneous luminosity during this decade and the next.

If observed at this level, the 126 GeV boson may not be the actual Higgs boson, while the b --> d quadrangle (modulo m_t') would jump out. The 2011-2012 data is likely not sensitive to values below 3 x 10^-10, and the mode should continue to be pursued with the 13 TeV run.

Many extensions of the Standard Model (SM) introduce an additional U(1) interaction, which is mediated by a U(1) boson, often by a Higgs mechanism adding a dark Higgs (or dark Higgses) to the models. This gauge boson, also known as the ``Dark Photon,'' typically has very weak coupling to the SM particles. Experimental results from direct Dark Matter searches, (e.g. DAMA/LIBRA) and other experimental anomalies (e.g. $g-2$), can be explained by such an additional interaction. Dark gauge bosons are typically of low mass; of order MeV to GeV. The ideal tools to discover such particles are therefore low-energy high-luminosity collider experiments such as Belle and BaBar, or dedicated fixed target experiments, several of which are planned or already under construction in several places. In Belle, the search of the dark photon focuses on the so-called Higgs-strahlung channel, where a dark photon and a dark Higgs are produced. Preliminary results will be presented and discussed in this presentation.

14:30 The latest results from T2K on the neutrino oscillation and interactions

The Tokai to Kamioka (T2K) experiment is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment situated in Japan. A high intensity neutrino beam is produced at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex, in Tokai, Japan. A near detector complex, situated 280 m from the neutrino production target, and the far detector at 295 km, are used to detect the neutrinos from this beam. This talk will present the latest T2K results on the neutrino oscillation, using the data collected up to summer 2013.

The OPERA experiment built in the underground Gran Sasso laboratory (LNGS) has been designed to detect neutrino oscillations in direct appearance mode in the mu-neutrino to tau-neutrino channel. The apparatus consisting of 150 000 lead/emulsion modular targets complemented by electronic detectors is placed in the long-baseline CERN to Gran Sasso neutrino beam (CNGS) 730 km away from the source. The running of the detector and the extraction of data from the photographic emulsions will be described, with the special procedures used to locate the interactions vertices and to detect short decay topologies. CNGS neutrinos interactions have been recorded from 2008 to 2012. Since the report of the two first tau-neutrino candidate events last year, a large amount of additional data has been analyzed. The latest results on oscillations with the increased statistics will be presented.

15:45 Precise Measurement of Electron Antineutrinos Disappearance From the Daya Bay Experiment

In 2012 the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment has observed the disappearance of electron antineutrinos at about 2 km. Within the three-neutrino flavor framework this result can be used for measuring a value of sin2( 2θ13) for the neutrino mixing angle θ13. The latest published result of sin2( 2θ13) = 0.089±0.010(stat.) ±0.005(syst.) from the Daya Bay experiment is to date the most precise measurement of sin2( 2θ13). A non-zero value of the θ13 makes it possible for future neutrino experiments to probe the conservation of the combination of charge conjugation and spatial reflection in the lepton sector. Short overview of the experiment and results will be presented.

16:00 Hadron production measurement from NA61/SHINE

New results of NA61/SHINE on determination of charged hadron yields in proton-carbon interactions are presented. They aim to improve predictions of the neutrino flux in the T2K experiment. The data were recorded using a secondary-proton beam of 31 GeV/c momentum from CERN SPS which impinges on a graphite target. To determine the inclusive production cross-section for charged pions, kaons and protons the thin ($0.04\lambda_I$) target was exploited. Results of this measurement are used in the T2K beam simulation program to reweight hadron yields in the interaction vertex. At the same time, NA61/SHINE results obtained with the T2K replica target ($1.9\lambda_I$) allow to constrain hadron yields at the surface of the target. It would correspond to the constraint up to 90\% of the neutrino flux, thus reducing significantly a model dependence of the neutrino beam prediction. All measured spectra are compared to predictions of hadron production models. In addition a status of the analysis of data collected by NA61/SHINE for the NuMI target (Fermilab) is reviewed. These data will be used further in neutrino beam calculations for the MINERvA, MINOS(+) and LBNE experiments.

I discuss a twist decomposition of difractive structure functions in the difractive deep inelastic scattering (DDIS) at HERA. At low photon virtuality and at large energy the data exhibit a strong excess above the twist-two NLO DGLAP description. It is found, that complementing the DGLAP fit by twist 4 and 6 components of the GBW saturation model leads to a good description of data.

15:20 Inclusive Jets in PHP

Differential inclusive-jet cross sections have been measured in photoproduction for boson virtualities Q2 < 1 GeV2 with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 300 pb-1. Jets were identified in the laboratory using the kt cluster algorithm in the longitudinally inclusive mode. Cross sections are presented as functions of the jet pseudorapidity, etajet, and the jet transverse energy, Etjet. In addition, measurements of double-differential inclusive-jet cross sections are presented as functions of Etjet in different regions of etajet. These cross sections have the potential to constrain the gluon density in the proton and the photon when included as input to fits to extract the proton parton distribution functions. Next-to-leading-order QCD calculations give a good description of the measurements. A value of alphas(Mz) has been extracted from the measurements. The energy-scale dependence of the coupling has also been determined.

16:10 Recent cross section, diffractive and forward multiplicity measurements with TOTEM

TOTEM is dedicated experiment at the LHC to the measurements of elastic, diffractive and other forward processes. Elastically and diffractively scattered protons are measured using silicon detectors in Roman Pots (RP) and charged particles by the T1 and T2 telescopes covering the pseudorapidity range 3.1 to 6.5. TOTEM has measured the luminosity-independent total, elastic and inelastic proton-proton cross-sections at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV and 8 TeV using dedicated beta* = 90 m optics runs. At sqrt(s) = 7 TeV, the cross-sections were also determined using the CMS luminosity giving results that are in excellent agreement with the luminosity-independent measurements, despite having very different systematic dependencies. TOTEM has also studied soft single- and double-diffractive processes at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. Preliminary results for single diffraction with masses above 3.4 GeV with the proton measured in the RPs as well as for double diffraction with masses in the 3.4-8 GeV range will be shown. In addition, TOTEM has performed an inclusive forward charged particle pseudorapidity density measurement in the 5.3 to 6.4 range using T2. Furthermore, TOTEM has repeated the charged particle density measurement at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV using a dedicated run taken with a common CMS/TOTEM trigger in three different event samples: an inclusive, a non-single diffractive enhanced with charged particles in both T2 arms and a single-diffractive enhanced with only charged particles in one T2 arm. Finally, TOTEM has together with CMS studied soft central diffraction (by measuring both protons) and hard single and central diffraction (by measuring one or two protons plus central jets) at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV. A summary of these measurements will be reported.

16:00 Top Decays with Flavor Changing Neutral Higgs Interactions at the LHC

We investigate the prospects for discovering a top quark decaying into one light Higgs boson along with a charm quark in top quark pair production at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A general two Higgs doublet model is adopted to study the signature of flavor changing neutral Higgs decay $t \to c\phi^0$, or $\bar{t} \to \bar{\phi^0$ where $\phi^0$ could be CP-even ($H^0$) or CP-odd ($A^0$). The dominant physics background is evaluated with realistic acceptance cuts as well as tagging and mistagging efficiencies. For a reasonably large top-charm-Higgs coupling ($\lambda_{tc}/\lambda_{t} \agt 0.09$), the abundance of signal events and the reduction in physics background allow us to establish a $5\sigma$ signal for $M_\phi \sim 125$ GeV at the LHC with a center of mass energy ($\sqrt{s}$) of 8 TeV and an integrated luminosity of $20$~fb$^{-1}$. The discovery potential will be greatly enhanced with the full energy of $\sqrt{s} = 14$ TeV.

16:15 Probing for the t->ch decay at the LHC

The Higgs boson $h$ and the top quark $t$ are the two most massive and newest particles ever discovered. If $t\to ch$ occurs at a couple of percent level, the observed $ZZ^*$ and $\gamma\gamma$ signal events for the Higgs boson may have accompanying $cbW$ activity coming from $t\bar t$ feeddown. A general two Higgs doublet model brings in new $ct$, $cc$ and $tt$ couplings that modify properties of the light Higgs $h$, and $t\to ch$ can be searched for via $h \to ZZ^*$, $\gamma\gamma$, $WW^*$ and $b\bar b$ (even $\tau^+\tau^-$) modes in $t\bar t$ events. We show that existing data should be able to push ${\cal B}(t\to ch)$ down to below the percent level.

I will present forecasts for the accuracy of determining the parameters of a minimal LCDM and the total neutrino mass for a Euclid-like survey. To include as much information as possible, and use the midly non-linear scales in a meaningful way, I will present our method of including theoretical errors. Two sets of errors are considered: (i) one to account for uncertainties in the modelling of the effect of neutrinos on the non-linear galaxy power spectrum and (ii) to parametrize the overall residual uncertainties in modelling the non-linear galaxy power spectrum at small scales. I will discuss how the inclusion of these errors impact the error on Mnu by comparing different ansatz, and I will also mention the effect of taking into account data from smaller scales considering our current understanding of non-linearities. I will also discuss how this method can be extended to other probes to have a reliable estimate of the current and achievable sensitivity to the total neutrino mass.

17:00 The Silicon Vertex Detector of the Belle II Experiment

The Belle experiment in Tsukuba (Japan) has been designed to measure rare decays in the B system with high statistics. Currently, both the KEK-B e+/e- collider and the Belle experiment are being upgraded to provide and cope with an ultimate luminosity of 8x10^35 cm-2 s-1. Since the previous Silicon Vertex Detector (SVD) cannot be operated with the 40-fold increased luminosity after the upgrade, it needs to be replaced. The future Belle II SVD will also consist of four layers of double-sided silicon strip sensors, but on larger radii and based on 6" silicon wafers, compared to its predecessor. Moreover, an inner double-layer with pixel detectors based on DEPFET technology will complement the SVD as innermost detector and the SVD itself will now contain a slanted forward part. Since the KEK B-factory operates at relatively low energy, material inside the active volume has to be minimized in order to reduce multiple scattering. This can be achieved by thin, double sided silicon sensors, which are arranged to ladders in the so-called "Origami chip-on-sensor concept", and a very light-weight mechanical support structure made from carbon fiber reinforced Airex foam. Moreover, CO2 cooling of the front-end chips will ensure high efficiency at minimum material budget. Fast-shaping readout amplifiers will be used in conjunction with an online hit time reconstruction algorithm in order to reduce the occupancy to the level of a few percent at most. In this talk, we will report the status of Belle II SVD, covering the silicon sensors, front-end detector ladders, readout electronics, mechanics and cooling.

17:15 Overview of the ATLAS Insertable B-Layer (IBL) Project

The upgrades for the ATLAS Pixel Detector will be staged in preparation for high luminosity LHC. The first upgrade for the Pixel Detector will be the construction of a new pixel layer which is currently under construction and will be installed during the first shutdown of the LHC machine, in 2013-14. The new detector, called the Insertable B-layer (IBL), will be installed between the existing Pixel Detector and a new, smaller radius beam-pipe at a radius of 3.3 cm. The IBL required the development of several new technologies to cope with increased radiation and pixel occupancy and also to improve the physics performance through reduction of the pixel size and a more stringent material budget. Two different silicon sensor technologies, planar n-in-n and 3D, will be used, connected with the new generation 130nm IBM CMOS FE-I4 readout chip via solder bump-bonds. In total 32 FEs with sensors are glued to a light weight carbon-carbon structure which incorporates a titanium cooling tube for a CO2 cooling system. In total the barrel layer will consist of 14 support structures and will cover 0.2m2 active area with 12 million pixels. A production quality control test bench was setup in the ATLAS inner detector assembly clean room to verify and rate the performance of the detector elements before integration around the beam pipe. Bias voltage sensor measurements as well as front end chip functionality measurements are complemented with 241Am and 90Sr sources as well as cosmic muon measurements to rate the bump bond quality and charge measurement calibration. During the integration process these measurements are repeated to spot integration issues and optimize the final operation performance. A realistic CO2 cooling plant will allow to perform quick warm and cold tests to verify the electrical functioning integrity of the sensors and readout front-ends. An overview of the IBL project, of the module design, the qualification for these sensor technologies, the integration quality control setups and recent results will be presented and discussed.

17:30 Upgrade of the CMS Tracker

The performance of the Tracker of the CMS experiment, comprising of a pixel and a strip detector, has so far been excellent, as reflected in the wealth of beautiful physics results from CMS. However, the foreseen increases of both the instantaneous as well as the integrated luminosity by the LHC during the next ten years will necessitate a stepwise upgrade of the CMS tracking detector. In the extended end-of-year shutdown 2016/17 the pixel detector will be exchanged. The new device is designed for an instantaneous luminosity of 2 x 10^34 cm^-2 s^-1 and an integrated luminosity of 500fb-1. The number of layers will be increased from three to four in the barrel part and from two to three in the end caps, thus providing 4-hit coverage over the full pseudorapidity range. A smaller beampipe allows to decrease the radius of the innermost layer, which improves the tracking performance. Further improvements include a new readout chip, which will decrease dead time and thus increase hit efficiencies; reduction of material; and the installation of more efficient cooling (two-phase CO2) and powering (DC-DC conversion) systems. Around 2022, in Long shutdown 3, the whole tracker will need to be replaced, in order to be able to cope with an instantaneous luminosity of 5 x 10^34 cm^-2 s^-1 and an integrated luminosity of 3000 fb-1, as expected for the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). A new challenge is the requirement that tracker information should be usable in the Level 1 trigger decision. This has lead to a dedicated module design with two closely spaced sensor layers whose hits are correlated in the module electronics. In this way an estimate on the transverse momentum can be made and stiff tracks can be selected, significantly reducing the data volume to be processed. This talk will motivate the design choices for the CMS pixel and outer tracker upgrades. The status and plans of these projects will be summarized and highlights of the R&D will be described

18:15 Sensitivity of the DANSS detector for a sterile neutrino searches

A solid scintillator detector DANSS (Detector of Anti-Neutrino based on Solid Scintillator) designed for remote on-line diagnostics of nuclear reactor parameters and a search for short range neutrino oscillation is under construction now. It will be installed at the Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant next year. DANSS is a 1 m3 plastic scintillator detector divided into 2500 cells and surrounded with combined passive and active shielding to suppress external radiation backgrounds. The basic element of the detector is the scintillator strip 4×1×100 cm3 in size with thin gadolinium coating. Light from the strip is collected by wave length shifting (WLS) fibers 1.2 mm in diameter and transported to small-size photomultipliers (PMTs) and multipixel photodiodes operated in the Geiger mode (SiPMs) used to read out scintillation signals. The estimates of the DANSS parameters are presented: efficiency (~70%), counting rate of neutrino events (~8500 per day), and expected background level (below 1%). We demonstrate that a detector with such properties is capable to measure the nuclear reactor thermal power with an accuracy of about 1.3% in one day and to determine the fuel composition and 239Pu production with an accuracy of ~ 5%.. DANSS is placed on a movable platform. It can change the distance from the detector to the reactor core from 9.6 to 11.9 meters. The detector can be also placed at larger distances from the reactor core but this requires reassembling of the detector in a different hall. Measurements of the neutrino flux and energy spectrum at different distances should allow to study a large fraction of a sterile neutrino parameter space indicated by recent experiments and reanalysis of the reactor neutrino fluxes. DANSSino is a small simplified pilot version of DANSS. It has already taken data under a reactor at the Kalinin NPP. In spite of small dimensions (20 × 20 × 100 cm3), the pilot detector turned out to be quite sensitive to the reactor antineutrino with a counting rate of about 70 events per day and the signal-to-background ratio of about one. This experiment together with the laboratory studies performed with DANSSino confirmed our estimates of the DANSS sensitivity.

18:45 The new detectors of the KLOE-2 experiment

Three new subdetectors are being installed in the KLOE apparatus of the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati of INFN, for a new data taking period due to start in late summer 2013. Photon detection is upgraded by means of a small crystal calorimeter in the very forward direction and of a tungsten-scintillating tiles sampling device instrumenting the low-beta quadrupoles of the accelerator. A new tracking device, the first cylindrical GEM ever built, is inserted to extended tracking capabilities closer to the interaction point. The novel idea of a Cylindrical GEM was developed at the Frascati Laboratory exploiting the kapton properties to build a transparent and compact Inner Tracker. The Inner Tracker is composed by four tracking layers with diameters from 260 mm to 410 mm and an active length of 700 mm. Each layer is realized as a cylindrical triple-GEM detector, a solution that allows to keep the total material budget under 2\% of the radiation length $X_0$, of utmost importance to limit the multiple scattering of low-momentum tracks at KLOE-2, and to minimize dead spaces. The peculiar readout pattern with XV strips provides a spatial resolution of about 200 micrometer on both views.

Specifically, we revisit the benefits of a Bayesian global analysis in the form of correlated posteriors of the Wilson coefficients and several hadronic quantities. Preliminary results are presented based on data on B->K^* gamma, B->K^(*) l l, B->X_s l l and B->X_s gamma decays as of Spring 2013.

17:45 Studies of the electroweak penguin transitions b→smumu and b→dmumu at LHCb

Rare b→sμ+μ– transitions that proceed via flavour changing neutral currents are suppressed in the SM and provide a sensitive probe of new physics contributions entering in competing diagrams. The dataset collected with the LHCb experiment has enabled measurements to be made in decays such as B→K*0μ+μ–, B+→K+μ+μ– and Bs→φμ+μ–. Particularly interesting are the angular and isospin asymmetries in the decay B→K(*)0μ+μ–, which are sensitive probes of new physics. The large statistics of reconstructed B mesons allow, for the first time, experimental access to b→dμ+μ– transitions, such as B+→π+μ+μ–, which are further suppressed in the SM. The latest results on these decay modes will be presented.

This decay has not been observed so far, and the best upper limit on the branching ratio BR(KS --> 3pi0)< 1.2 10-7 is two orders of magnitude larger than predictions based on the Standard Model.

17:00 → 19:20 Higgs and New Physics

17:00 New Regions in the NMSSM with a 125 GeV Higgs

It is pointed out that mixing effects in the CP-even scalar sector of the NMSSM can give 6-8 GeV correction to the SM-like Higgs mass in moderate or large $\tan\beta$ regions with a small value of the singlet-higgs-higgs superfields coupling $\lambda\sim\mathcal{O}(0.1)$. This effect comes mainly from the mixing of the SM-like Higgs with lighter singlet. In the same parameter range, the mixing of the heavy doublet Higgs with the singlet may strongly modify the couplings of the singlet-like and the 125 GeV scalars. Firstly, the LEP bounds on a light singlet can be evaded for a large range of its masses. Secondly, the decay rates of both scalars can show a variety of interesting patterns, depending on the lightest scalar mass. In particular, a striking signature of this mechanism can be a light scalar with strongly suppressed (enhanced) branching ratios to $b\bar{b}$ ($gg$, $c\bar{c}$, $\gamma\gamma$) as compared to the SM Higgs with the same mass. The $\gamma\gamma$ decay channel is particularly promising for the search of such a scalar at the LHC. The 125 GeV scalar can, thus, be accommodated with substantially smaller than in the MSSM radiative corrections from the stop loops (and consequently, with lighter stops) also for moderate or large $\tan\beta$, with the mixing effects replacing the standard NMSSM mechanism of increasing the tree level Higgs mass in the low $\tan\beta$ and large $\lambda$ regime, and with clear experimental signatures of such a mechanism.

17:30 Search for Natural SUSY with inclusive search strategies at the LHC using the CMS detector

Natural SUSY suggests the existence of light stop quarks, accessible at the LHC, which are the focus of a dedicated CMS search program. Here we present a more inclusive strategy. We look for a SUSY signal as an excess on a falling background distribution in the kinematic planes identified by several sets of variables. Complementary searches are described including all hadronic as well as one lepton final states, with and without the use of jet substructure techniques to identify boosted W bosons that decay hadronically. In all cases, b-tagging is used as a tool to reduce SM backgrounds. We show that these inclusive analyses have excellent sensitivity to both direct stop pair production as well as stops coming from decays of heavier sparticles, and other b-rich final states from cascade decays of gluinos, sbottoms, or stops.

18:15 Impact of LHC search results on the W mass prediction in SUSY models

Electroweak precision observables, such as the W boson mass, are highly sensitive to quantum corrections of New Physics. Thus they provide a powerful tool to test and constrain extensions of the Standard Model. We present results for MW in the MSSM with complex parameters and in the NMSSM, including all known higher order corrections of SM- and SUSY-type. We study the size of the MW contributions from all SUSY particle sectors and investigate the genuine NMSSM effects. We show the impact of LHC SUSY searches on the prediction for MW. In particular the effect on the MW prediction of the Higgs signal at about 126 GeV is analyzed, which in the MSSM can be interpreted both as the light or the heavy CP-even Higgs. We find that for both interpretations the predicted MSSM region for MW is in good agreement with the experimental measurement.

The fit includes low-energy and astrophysical observables as well as collider constraints from the non-observation of new physics in supersymmetric searches at the LHC. Furthermore, the Higgs boson mass and signal rate measurements from both the LHC and Tevatron experiments are included via the program HiggsSignals. Although the LHC exclusion limits and the Higgs mass measurements put tight constraints on the viable parameter space, we find an acceptable fit quality once the Higgs signal rates are included. For the first time, we perform a dedicated toy experiment analysis in order to calculate true p-values as well as estimates on the allowed parameter ranges of the investigated models. Finally, we present a projection to future fit results assuming more precise measurements of the Higgs signal rates.

One of the main goals of the ongoing and forthcoming neutrino oscillation experiments is to determine the leptonic Dirac CP-violating phase, which is one of the fundamental constants in nature. We first examine the radiative corrections to the CP-violating phase, which should be taken into account when one confronts the theoretical prediction at a high-energy scale with the experimental observations at the low-energy scale. Then the CP-violating effects in neutrino oscillation experiments are discussed by using neutrino oscillograms. Finally, we consider the effects of non-standard neutrino interactions on the leptonic CP violation.

The Hyper-Kamiokande, which we are currently developing, is designed to be the next decade's flagship experiment for the study of neutrino oscillations, nucleon decays, and astrophysical neutrinos. The detector is the third generation underground water Cherenkov detector at Kamioka. Holding 1 million ton water target being about 20 times larger than the Super-Kamiokande, the detector will extend the sensitivity to search for baryon-number-violated proton (and bound neutron) decays by one order of magnitude or more to test various grand unified theories. It also aims to explore the full picture of neutrino masses and mixings by using intense accelerator and atmospheric neutrinos. These experimental studies would become windows to see physics at the grand unification scale of $\sim10^{16}$ GeV which is far beyond the energy scale of accelerator based particle physics. The detector also serves as an astrophysical neutrino observatory aiming to study the explosion mechanism of core-collapse supernova, the history of star formation and heavy element synthesis in the universe, WIMP dark matters trapped in the Sun, Earth, and Galaxy, and other astrophysical neutrino sources. Physics potential of the Hyper-Kamiokande is estimated based on the well proven water Cherenkov technology and its detector performance. Feasibility of the one megaton size detector has been shown by its baseline design, and the detector design is being optimized at present. By taking into account the production rate of photo-sensors and estimated construction period, the Hyper-Kamiokande is expected to start its operation in 2023.

18:10 Complementarity between long-baseline and atmospheric neutrino experiments

Recent measurements have shown that the value of $\theta_{13}$ in nature is moderately large. This allows the possibility of measuring the neutrino mass hierarchy, octant of $\theta_{23}$ and CP-violating phase $\delta_{CP}$ at the next generation of neutrino oscillation experiments. Long-baseline experiments have very good energy resolution, and hence are well suited to measure the mass-square differences, mixing angles and CP phase to a high degree of precision. Atmospheric neutrino experiments can access neutrinos over a wide range of baselines and energies and can resolve the problems of determining the mass hierarchy and octant of $\theta_{23}$, due to resonant matter effects. The sensitivity of long-baseline experiments to the unknown neutrino oscillation parameters depends on the value of $\delta_{CP}$ in nature. In fact, for unfavourable combinations of these parameters, the capabilities of long-baseline experiments are severely limited. On the other hand, the capabilities of atmospheric neutrino experiments have been shown to be independent of $\delta_{CP}$. We explore the reasons for the $\delta_{CP}$-independence of atmospheric neutrino results. We then study the synergy between atmospheric and long-baseline experiments. We find that there is a marked improvement in the sensitivity of long-baseline experiments for unfavourable values of parameters, when data from atmospheric experiments are also taken into account. We present our results in the context of planned upcoming oscillation experiments.

I will describe the status of LBNE, the first phase of which is currently in the detailed-design stage of planning, and the physics potential of the LBNE research program.

18:40 Hierarchy and Octant determination potential of LBNE and LBNO

Recent measurement of a moderately large value of theta13 has opened up exciting possibilities for current and future neutrino oscillation experiments, in particular to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy and the octant of theta23. Determination of these parameters will provide us with crucial additional inputs to develop a theory of neutrino masses. Current experiments can determine these quantities only for favourable ranges of parameters at limited C.L. Hence, future facilities are mandatory to cover the entire parameter space at discovery level. In this work, we explore the capabilities of LBNE and LBNO, whose large matter effects will enable them to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy and the octant of theta23.LBNO has about 10 sigma hierarchy discovery even for the most unfavorable combination of neutrino parameters. The hierarchy reach of LBNE is more limited. In particular, if theta23 happens to be in the lower octant, then even a 3 sigma discrimination would not be possible for LBNE in its first stage, for the most unfavorable values of deltaCP. If the current experiments find a hint that the parameter combination is unfavorable, then LBNE should increase their exposure. Regarding the octant, the first stage of LBNO has a 4 sigma discovery potential and that of LBNE has 3 sigma.

At CDF we study charged particles production (pT > 0.5 GeV/c, |eta| < 0.8) in proton-antiproton collisions at 300 GeV, 900 GeV, and 1.96 TeV. The 300 GeV and 900 GeV data are a result of the "Tevatron Energy Scan" which was performed just before the Tevatron was shut down. We use the direction of the leading charged particle in each event, PTmax, to define three regions of eta-phi space; "toward", "away", and "transverse". The "transverse" region is further divided into the "transMAX" and "transMIN" contributions. The "transMIN" region is very sensitive to the "underlying event". The data are corrected to the particle level and are compared with LHC data at 900 GeV and 7 TeV. This CDF analysis together with LHC data provides a detailed study the energy dependence of the underlying event in hadronic collisions.

09:30 The Circular Road to a Higgs Factory and Beyond

After the discovery in 2012, by the CMS and ATLAS experiments, of a Higgs boson at 126 GeV, a circular e+e- “Higgs factory” operating at about 15% higher beam energy than the late LEP collider has become an attractive option for the next step of particle physics, allowing for highest-precision measurements of this remarkable particle. If constructed in a new tunnel with a circumference of 80-100 km such a machine, in the following called “TLEP,” has the potential to deliver some 500 times the LEP luminosity simultaneously to each of four experiments. More specifically, the proposed TLEP machine covers the full energy range from the Z pole up to above the top quark pair threshold, with luminosities ranging from close to 1e36 cm-2s-1 per IP at the Z (“Tera-Z factory”) to about 1e34 cm-2s-1 at the top threshold. Beam polarization at energies up to the W pair threshold should be possible, allowing exquisite energy calibration by resonant depolarization. Importantly, TLEP also provides a path towards a later very high energy LHC (“VHE-LHC”), with a centre-of-mass energy approaching 100 TeV in pp collisions: VHE-LHC and TLEP would be housed in the same tunnel and could share a large part of the infrastructure including experimental caverns, magnets, and major detector components. Such a complex could also provide highest-energy highest-luminosity ep and eA collisions. In this contribution we present tentative design parameters for TLEP and VHE-LHC, discuss a few fundamental concepts, and describe the main challenges. For example, the short beam lifetime in TLEP, due to radiative Bhabha scattering, requires – in addition to the collider ring – a fast cycling accelerator ring for quasi-continuous top-up injection. Further, to mitigate and suppress an additional lifetime reduction due to beamstrahlung, a large momentum acceptance and a low vertical emittance are needed. Many of TLEP’s novel design ingredients – such as an insertion with beta* equal to or less than 1 mm, and operation with beam lifetimes of a few minutes – will soon be demonstrated at SuperKEKB. By comparison, VHE-LHC is easy from the accelerator-physics point of view. The required key technologies comprise a high-power SRF system for TLEP and high-field magnets for VHE-LHC.

The measurement and comparison of exclusive branching fractions of baryonic B decays as well as studies on the dynamic of the decay, may allow better understanding of the aforementioned properties. We present the most recent measurements of B-meson decays with two or four baryons in the final state performed with the BABAR detector.

09:30 Measurements of CP violation in charmless two-body B decays at LHCb

Direct and mixing-induced CP violation observables in charmless charged two-body B decays may provide valuable information in the quest for physics beyond the Standard Model. Owing to the large beauty production cross-section at the LHC and to the unique characteristics of the LHCb detector and trigger, unprecedented samples of such decays are becoming available. We present updated measurements of direct CP violation in Bd,s→Kπ decays as well as of direct and mixing-induced CP violation in Bd→π+π– and Bs→K+K− decays. Furthermore, we report measurements of the branching fractions of these decays, notably including those of the annihilation modes Bd→K+K− and Bs→π+π− .

09:00 The LHeC as a Higgs Facility

The Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC) is a proposed facility which will exploit the new world of energy and intensity offered by the LHC through collisions with a new 60 GeV electron beam. The LHeC opens the possibility for precision studies of the Higgs Boson which in electron-proton collisions is most abundantly produced in the WW channel of e^-p charged current scattering. An LHeC luminosity of up to 10^34cm^-2s^-1 makes this a most interesting mode for studying the Higgs boson, owing also to the rather clean experimental conditions (less complex final state, no-pileup, lower QCD background as compared to the LHC) while the theoretical uncertainties are small. An overview is presented of this opportunity, including a detailed study of the dominant H--> bbar decay channel.

09:15 Measurement of Higgs couplings and self-coupling at the ILC

We report on the recent studies of the precision measurement of the Higgs couplings at the ILC based on the full detector simulation of the ILD detector concept at various centre-of-mass energies including 250 GeV, 500 GeV, and 1 TeV. At 250 GeV, the Higgs recoil mass measurement is the key to determining the absolute e+e- -> ZH cross section and hence the absolute model-independent Higgs couplings. Around 350 GeV and above, the e+e- -> nunuH fusion channel is available to study the Higgs. The ILC can measure Higgs branching ratios (BRs) into bb, cc, gg, tautau, WW*, ZZ*, and gammagamma at all energies above 250 GeV. At 500 GeV and above, the e+e- -> ttH process can be used to measure the top Yukawa coupling. At 1 TeV, the Higgs BRs into muon pairs can be obtained due to the increased luminosity. The most precise Higgs couplings are obtained via a global fit. The synergy with the LHC measurements is also discussed. It is a crucial and fundamental task to measure the Higgs self-coupling at the future collider. In this talk, we will also introduce the ILD-DBD benchmark study of ZHH at 500 GeV and vvHH (WW-fusion) at 1 TeV focusing on both Higgs bosons decaying as H->bb.

09:30 Measurement of Higgs couplings and mass in e+e- collisions at CLIC (sqrt-s 350 GeV – 3 TeV)

A linear e+e- collider running at center-of-mass energies in the range from 350 GeV to 3 TeV provides excellent possibilities for Higgs precision measurements. Precison Higgs (and top) measurements can be performed around 350 GeV, where the Higgs is studied in a model-independent way through its recoil against a Z boson in the Higgsstrahlung process, providing not only an accurate mass measurement but also direct measurements of the branching ratios for most boson and fermion decay modes, including possible decays to invisible particles. At higher energies, the Higgs boson coupling to top quarks and the Higgs self-coupling can also be measured. For CLIC these are studied at 1.4 TeV in Higgs production through WW fusion. At even higher energies the rising WW fusion cross section, together with the higher machine luminosity, allows for the measurement of very small branching ratios. At the ultimate CLIC energy of 3 TeV this provides good precision for the Higgs coupling to muons and a currently unchallenged precision at the 10% level for the Higgs self-coupling. The prospects for these measurements at CLIC are summarized in the talk. They are based on detailed detector simulation studies including overlay of background from physics processes and beam-induced backgrounds.

09:45 Measuring the Higgs boson properties with unprecedented precision at TLEP

After the Higgs boson discovery by the CMS and ATLAS experiments at 126 GeV, Higgs factory concepts get a lot of attention towards a detailed study of the properties of this remarkable particle. TLEP is a high-luminosity circular ee collider to be fit in an 80-100 km tunnel as precursor and companion of a 100-TeV pp collider (VHE-LHC), as part of a possible long-term vision for High-Energy Physics. The machine covers the energy range from the Z pole up to above the top quark pair threshold. The luminosity at √s = 240GeV (Higgs factory) is 5.1034 /cm2/s at each of four collision points, yielding 2 Million Higgs decays in 5 years through the e+e-  ZH process. This sample opens the possibility of sub-per-cent precision measurement of the Higgs boson couplings to light fermions and to gauge-bosons, and of the Higgs boson width. These precision measurements are sensitive to multi-TeV new physics interacting with the scalar sector. The ZH production mechanism also gives access to the invisible or exotic branching ratios down to a few per mil. The luminosity expected at the top pair production threshold (√s ~ 340-350 GeV) further improves some of these figures by a factor of two, and is sensitive to the Higgs boson coupling to the top quark. Besides the direct search for new physics up to a scale of several tens of TeV, the upgrade to VHE-LHC allows the measurement of the Higgs boson coupling to the top quark and the triple Higgs-boson self-coupling to the per-cent and few per-cent levels, respectively, hence completing the Higgs boson study with unrivaled precision.

09:25 Search for 2νββ- and 0νββ-decay with EXO

In the search for the nature of the neutrino, neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) plays a significant role in understanding its properties. By measuring the 0νββ decay rate, it is hoped to verify the nature of the neutrino (Majorana or Dirac particle), lepton number violation and help determine the values for the absolute neutrino masses. The Enriched Xenon Observatory (EXO) is aiming at search for the 0νββ decay of Xe-136. EXO-200 is a Time Projection Chamber (TPC) that uses liquefied Xenon (LXe) as source for the nuclear decay and as detection medium. EXO-200 detector is located at deep underground salt mine (~1585) m.w.e. at WIPP (Waste Isolation Pilot Plant) facility in New Mexico - USA. EXO has published new results for the half lives of the 2νββ and a lower limit for 0νββ decays of Xe-136. The collaboration has reported T1/2 = (2.11 ± 0.04stat ± 0.21sys)x10^21 yr for the 2νββ decay [2] and T1/2 > 1.6x10^25 yr (at 90% C.L.) for the 0νββ decay corresponding to effective Majorana masses less than 140-380 meV. Here we shed more light on these two results. As well as on the current R&D programs running in order to improve background suppression and the base lines for the next EXO phase (nEXO).

The NEMO-3 and SuperNEMO experiments aim to search for neutrinoless double beta decay. If observed, this would show that the neutrino is its own antiparticle, and be the the first evidence of lepton number violation. The unique setup of the experiments, using a tracker-calorimeter technique, is able to measure the full kinematic signature of the decays. This will help in determining the underlying physical process behind neutrinoless double beta decay, once it is discovered. The NEMO-3 experiment took data from 2003 to 2011, with 7 kg of Mo-100 and 1 kg of Se-82 as the main double beta decay sources. There were no neutrinoless double beta decays observed, with half-life limits of about 10^24 years. The SuperNEMO experiment will hope to improve on the NEMO-3 technique, using 100 kg of Se-82 source, and running under zero background conditions. A half-life sensitivity of about 10^26 years (effective neutrino mass sensitivity of about 50 meV) can be achieved. A demonstrator module of the experiment is currently under construction, with data taking due to begin next year. The latest results from NEMO-3 will be summarised, and the current status of the SuperNEMO experiment will be presented.

09:20 Heavy-Flavor measurements in proton-proton collisions with ALICE

The study of heavy flavor production in proton-proton collisions is of particular interest for quantum chromodynamics (QCD), as charm and beauty quarks possess large masses and are thus mainly created in hard partonic scattering processes. Cross sections obtained from measurements for charm and beauty quarks allow to constrain theories and to provide important parameters for model calculations. The ALICE experiment recently provided measurements in a higher, so far unexplored energy region, which allows for the first tests of predictions of transverse-momentum-differential cross sections from pQCD in this new energy domain. In the ALICE detector system, the products of heavy-flavor hadrons are measured through the reconstruction of hadronic D-meson decays at mid-rapidity and via semileptonic decay channels of charm and beauty hadrons at forward and mid-rapidity. ALICE has analyzed pp collisions at center of mass energies of 2.76 and 7 TeV at the LHC and measured the pT-differential cross section of leptons from decays of heavy flavor hadrons as a function of particle multiplicity. Furthermore, the D-meson yield at mid-rapidity was also studied as a function of the multiplicity of charged particles produced in the collision. We discuss recent results from these analyses.

The Qweak collaboration recently completed a two year long program of measurements, with the aim of making a precision measurement of the parity violating analyzing power from elastic scattering of 1.16 GeV, longitudinally polarized, electrons on protons at low momentum transfer $Q^2 = 0.025~\rm{GeV/c^2}$. At low momentum transfer, the measured asymmetry is directly related to the weak charge of the proton. The Standard Model makes a firm prediction for the size of the weak charge, based on the “running” of the weak mixing angle. Qweak constitutes the first precision measurement of this quantity and provides a test for physics beyond the Standard Model, at a mass scale of about 2 TeV, for the full data set. While most of the data is still being analyzed, I will present the results obtained from about 4% of the data, giving $A_{PV} = -278.8 \pm 34.8 ~\rm{(statistics)} \pm 29.4~\rm{(systematic)}$ ppb. When this result is combined with the other available parity violation measurements at low momentum transfer (atomic and parity violating electron scattering), signifcant new constraints on the weak charges of the up and down quarks are extracted. I will provide an overview of the theory, the experiment, and will discuss the expected results with the full data set.

Assuming the new particle to be the SM Higgs boson, all fundamental parameters of the SM are known, allowing for the first time to overconstrain the SM at the electroweak scale and assert its validity. We present the SM predictions of several key observables of the electroweak fit, which are dramatically improved by the knowledge of the Higgs mass. These results are compatible with, and exceed in precision, the direct measurements. Constraints from the electroweak fit on loop contributions from beyond-SM models are also obtained, through an analysis of the so-called oblique parameters.

Future projects, such as SuperKEKB in Japan, already in the assembly phase, and Tau/charm colliders proposals at BINP and LNF, will deal with a different frontier of experimental subnuclear physics, with a research program complementary to CERN's LHC, by increasing the rate of particle beam collisions at a level that has never been reached before, producing extremely rare physical phenomena which are influenced by the potential existence of new massive particles and thus provide unique information on them. A status of the present facilities and future projects in the “low energy, high luminosity” region will be presented.

12:40 Results from Step I of MICE and the Physics Plan for Step IV

The Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE) will demonstrate ionisation cooling, an essential technology for a Neutrino Factory and/or Muon Collider, by measuring a 10% reduction in emittance of a muon beam. A realistic demonstration requires beams closely resembling those expected at the front-end of a Neutrino Factory, i.e. with large transverse emittance and momentum spreads. The MICE muon beam line at ISIS, RAL, was built to provide beams of different momenta and emittance so that the performance of the cooling channel can be fully explored. During the initial stage of MICE, a novel technique based on time-of-flight counters was used to establish that the beam emittances are in the range 0.7--2.8 mm-rad, with central momenta from 170--280 MeV/c, and momentum spreads of about 20 MeV/c. These beams will be increased by means of scattering from high-Z material in the next stage of MICE and measured using magnetic spectrometers. Finally, low-Z absorbers such as liquid hydrogen and LiH will be used to reduce the emittance of the beam. The physics program of this step of MICE will be discussed, including all stages necessary for a first demonstration of ionisation cooling.

The $K^0$ mesons are reconstructed by either $K^0_S$ and $K^0_L$ and the possible deviation of the CP-violating parameter $\sin2\phi_1^{\rm eff}$ from the value found in the tree-dominated decay modes $b \to c \bar{c} s$ is discussed.

We propose a UV completion of the inverse see-saw scenario of neutrino mass generation, where the Standard Model gauge group is extended by a U(1) symmetry. Within this framework, a variation of the standard thermal leptogenesis is achievable at the O(TeV) scale, owing to the presence of a viable dark matter candidate. The scalar and fermion sector of the model can be tested at LHC and in current and future experiments searching for dark matter.

The compactification of the extra spatial dimensions in the Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, and Dvali model results in a Kaluza-Klein tower of massive graviton modes. These graviton modes are produced in association with a jet or a photon and do not interact with the detectors, resulting in a monojet or a monophoton signature. Asymmetric events with single object and large missing transverse energy are sensitive to Dark Matter searches and SUSY models.

12:45 Do we need a LC to see BSM physics?

The recent discovery of a Higgs boson in the mass range of about $m_H=126$~GeV has also an impact on further new physics searches. Based on the recent LHC results and the currently still negative results for Supersymmetry or other beyond Standard Model Physics, one has to develop strategies for finding hints for new physics at future colliders. Recently strong activities in Japan towards an ILC are ongoing. In this talk the physics potential of a LC will be critically analyzed and weighted with regard to the expected LHC prospects. New examples in the different physics areas will be discussed in this talk. Also still uncovered ranges by the LHC of new physics parameter spaces as for instance SUSY scenarios with close mass degeneration in the electroweak sector will be incorporated. Special emphasis is given concerning different running scenarios and a staged approach for a LC (Higgs factory, sqrts=350, 500, 1000 GeV) and which special LC features as for instance beam polarization, threshold scans etc. are relevant at the different stages, respectively.

11:00 → 13:00 Neutrino Physics

11:00 SNO+

One of the most important open questions in neutrino physics is the question of whether neutrinos are Majorana or Dirac particles. Attempts to detect the (possible) Majorana nature of neutrinos focus around the double beta decay process. If neutrinoless double beta decay were observed, it would not only prove that neutrinos are Majorana particles, but it would also provide a measurement of the neutrino mass. Loading the double beta decay isotope 130Te into the SNO+ liquid scintillator has the potential to allow for an extremely powerful double beta decay search. We have developed a brand new technique to do this, and to remove other contaminants that might otherwise interfere with the measurement. Although the energy resolution of the detector will not be as good as that of other existing experiments, the amount of isotope that could be suspended in the scintillator is very large. This means that SNO+ can hope to see a large enough number of neutrinoless double beta decay events that we can fit to the energy spectra of the 2 neutrino and 0 neutrino signals (and those of the radioactive backgrounds), making us much less dependent on energy resolution than competing experiments. In fact, based on some preliminary simulations, if we loaded the scintillator with 0.3% natural Te (which would contain 800kg of 130Te isotope) we would be able to detect neutrinoless double beta decay at neutrino masses approaching the range of the “inverted hierarchy,” a particularly interesting regime for theoretical predictions related to one of two possible ways for the 3 neutrino masses to be ordered. A 3% loading, corresponding to 8 tons of 130Te isotope in the detector, would give us the potential to probe the majority of this interesting range with high sensitivity.

The first phase of the Borexino experiment, currently running at the Laboratori del Gran Sasso in Italy, has been completed in 2010, and after a successful purification campaign which have further brought down the background levels, a second phase is now in progress. The final results of Phase I will be reported, as well as the first outcomes of Phase II, namely a new measurement of the geoneutrino flux and the detection of the imprinting of the annual modulation in the solar neutrino signal; moreover, the full perspectives for solar neutrinos with the whole amount of data planned to be taken in Phase II will be given. During Phase II Borexino will be used to carry out the SOX project, which has been recently approved by the European Community. Aim of SOX is to realize a neutrino or an anti-neutrino source which will allow either to confirm or to unambiguously reject the long standing neutrino anomalies suggested by the LSND and Miniboone experiments, by the source calibrations of the solar neutrino Gallium experiments and by the joint evaluation of several short baseline reactor experiments.

12:30 Sterile neutrinos in the 3+1 scenario and solar data

The LMA solution to the solar neutrino problem predicts an upturn in the electron like event spectrum (CC and ES) below a few MeV which is not seen by any solar neutrino experiment. Moreover it seems to be contradicted by SNO which observes a decrease of the CC event rate at electron energies below 5.3 MeV. We find that a model where a light sterile neutrino is added to the standard picture with a mass squared difference of 10^{-5} eV^2 provides a solution to the inconsistency with a survival probability dip in the approximate range (2-6) MeV. Adding an LSND-like sterile neutrino (the 1+3+1 scenario) does not affect the results.

11:23 Jet quenching in a strongly interacting plasma - A lattice approach

The phenomenon of jet quenching, related to the momentum broadening of a high-energy parton, provides important experimental evidence for the production of a strongly coupled, deconfined medium in heavy-ion collisions. Its theoretical description has been addressed in a number of works, both perturbatively and non-perturbatively (using the gauge-gravity duality). In this contribution, following a proposal by Caron-Huot, we discuss a novel approach to this problem, enabling one to extract non-perturbative information on this real-time phenomenon from simulations on a Euclidean lattice.

We numerically simulate planar shock wave collisions in anti-de Sitter space as a model for heavy ion collisions of large nuclei. We uncover a cross-over between two different dynamical regimes as a function of the collision energy. At low energies the shocks first stop and then explode in a manner approximately described by hydrodynamics, in close similarity with the Landau model. At high energies the receding fragments move outwards at the speed of light, with a region of negative energy density and negative longitudinal pressure trailing behind them. The rapidity distribution of the energy density at late times around mid-rapidity is not approximately boost-invariant but Gaussian, albeit with a width that increases with the collision energy.

12:09 Holographic thermalization patterns

Understanding the process driving the complicated field dynamics during a relativistic heavy ion collision presents and exceptionally difficult problem, where the early onset of hydrodynamical behaviour of the produced matter points towards the system being strongly coupled. An important aspect concerns the thermalization pattern with which the plasma constituents of different energies approach their final thermal distribution. In the limit of of weak coupling, the thermalization pattern is of the bottom-up type, with the soft excitations reaching thermal equilibrium first. In contrast, holographic studies in the infinite coupling limit point towards top-down thermalization, indicating a transition at intermediate coupling between the two behaviours. Using a simplified model of holographic thermalization it is possible to go away from the infinite coupling limit. In this talk I will discuss the finite coupling effects on the thermalization pattern of the different plasma constituents, where indeed a shift towards the weak coupling scenario is visible.

12:32 Spectrum of the open QCD flux tube in d=2+1 and its effective string description

Simulations in lattice gauge theory suggest that the formation of a flux tube between a quark and antiquark leads to quark confinement. It is conjectured that the infrared behaviour of the flux tube is governed by an effective string theory and simulations show good agreement between lattice data and its predictions. To next-to leading order (R^{-3}) in the inverse \bar{q}q separation (R) the effective string theory is equivalent to Nambu-Goto string theory. For the open flux tube in three dimensions corrections to Nambu-Goto appear at order R^{-4}. They correspond to boundary terms in the worldsheet field theory. These corrections are presumably small for the ground state, but significantly larger for the excited states and lift the degeneracies of the free theory. We compare these predictions to measurements of the excitation spectrum of the flux tube in 3d SU(2) and SU(3) pure gauge theory and extract the coefficient of the leading order boundary term in the effective action.

11:20 Resolving the puzzle of the pion-photon transition form factor

Making use of dispersive QCD sum rules, we analyze the pseudoscalar meson–photon transition form factors. We show that most of the existing measurements – the BaBar results for eta, eta’, and eta_c and the Belle results for pi^0 – are well compatible with each other and with the saturation predicted by pQCD factorization theorems and give a hint that the saturation is effective already at relatively low momentum transfers. The existing well-measured data for the pion elastic form factor at Q^2~2-4 GeV^2 also support this observation. The only exception is the BaBar data for the pi^0-gamma transition form factor which lie beyond this nice picture. We point out that the expected results from CLAS12 at JLab on the pion form factor in the region Q^2~5-8 GeV^2 will provide an ultimate test of saturation and pQCD factorization and will have strong impact on the general picture of the form factors up to infinitely large momentum transfers.

The V-->Pgamma Dalitz decays, associated to internal conversion of the photon into a lepton pair, are not well described by the Vector Meson Dominance (VMD) models, as in the case of the process omega --> pi0 mu+ mu-, measured by the NA60 collaboration. The only existing data on phi --> eta e+ e- come from the SND experiment, which has measured the Mee invariant mass distribution on the basis of 213 events. At KLOE, a detailed study of this decay has been performed using both eta-->pi+pi-pi0 and eta-->pi0pi0pi0 final states. Simple analysis cuts provide clean signal events (about 14000 and 30000, respectively), with a residual background contamination of 2-3%. We have also studied the decay phi --> pi0 e+ e-, where no data are available on transition form factor. Dedicated analysis cuts strongly reduce the main background component of Bhabha events to ~20%, leading to ~4000 signal events in the whole KLOE data set. The gamma-gamma couplings and partial widths of mesons provide information about their structure and can be measured in the e+e- --> e+e-gamma*gamma* --> e+e-X processes. The study of gamma*gamma* --> eta will be discussed. The data sample consists of an integrated luminosity of 240 pb-1 of data taken at the center of mass energy SQRT(s)=1 GeV - where backgrounds from phi decays are suppressed - without tagging of the e+e- in the final state. The measurement of the cross section for the reaction gamma*gamma* --> eta in the two decay channels eta-->pi+pi-pi0 and eta-->3pi0, with independent systematic uncertainties, together with the extraction of the eta-->gammagamma width, will be presented.

11:00 Beam Polarisation and Triple Gauge Couplings in ee->WW at the ILC

A unique feature of the future e+e- linear collider is the ability to provide longitudinal polarised beams. In order to fully exploit the benefits of the polarised beams, the luminosity weighted average polarisation needs to be known with a permille-level precision. A method for measuring the beam polarisation from the collision data is presented. It is based on a realistic full simulation study of the semi-leptonic W-pair production in e+e- annihilation at the ILC at centre-of-mass energies of 500 GeV and 1 TeV with the ILD detector. Assuming that the angular distributions of the W-pair production are described by the Standard Model, the longitudinal polarisation of the electron and positron beams is measured with high accuracy. The W-pair events and the angular distributions for the final state qqlnu are also used to determine the triple gauge couplings. Results from a simultaneous measurement of the beams' polarisation and the TGCs show that they can be determined independently and thus the method would not be compromised by indirect contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model.

Top quark production in the process e+e- -> ttbar at a future linear electron positron collider with polarised beams is a powerful tool to determine the scale of new physics. The presented study assumes a centre-of-mass energy of 500 GeV and an integrated luminosity of 500 fb-1 equally shared between the incoming beam polarisations of (Pe+, Pe-) = (+/-0.8,-/+0.3). Events are selected in which the top pair decays semi-leptonically. The study comprises the cross sections, the forward-backward asymmetry and the slope of the helicity angle asymmetry. The vector, axial vector and tensorial CP conserving couplings are separately determined for the photon and the Z^0 component. The sensitivity to new physics would be dramatically improved with respect to that expected from the LHC for electroweak couplings.

The previous measurements, with the photon emitted at small and large angle, respectively, were normalized to the DAPHNE luminosity using large angle Bhabha scattering. In the new analysis the pion form factor is obtained directly from the pi+pi-gamma(gamma)/mu+mu-gamma(gamma) ratio, with significantly different systematic effects.
