Tony Kwan (University of Victoria (CA))28/04/2015, 08:55WG4 QCD and Hadronic Final StatesThe ATLAS Collaboration has performed precision measurements of the transverse momentum of the Z/gamma* boson and the angular correlations of the DrellโYan lepton pairs with the phi* observable, in different di-lepton invariant mass and rapidity regions. These measurements are sensitive to soft resummation effects and hard jet emissions for small and large momentum transfers,...Go to contribution page

Harikrishnan Ramani (Yang Institute Of Theoretical Physics)28/04/2015, 09:45WG4 QCD and Hadronic Final StatesThe WW production cross-section measured at the LHC has been consistently exhibiting a mild excess beyond the SM prediction leading to speculations that new physics could be hiding in these measurements. In this talk, I discuss a possible explanation of the excess in terms of large logarithms that arise from a jet-veto condition that is imposed in the experimental analyses to reduce...Go to contribution page

Sanshiro Mizuno (University of Tsukuba (JP))29/04/2015, 08:30WG4 QCD and Hadronic Final StatesDirect photons are very interesting probes because they are not modified once created and emitted during all stages of the collisions. Especially soft photons have been actively measured to study the hot and dense medium (QGP) created in high energy heavy ion collisions. It is expected that direct photons have different angular emission patterns depending on their production...Go to contribution page

Petr Balek (Charles University (CZ))29/04/2015, 08:50WG4 QCD and Hadronic Final StatesRecent results on electroweak probes in lead-lead and proton-lead collisions from the ATLAS Detector at the LHC Abstract: Photons and weak bosons do not interact strongly with the dense and hot medium formed in the nuclei collisions, thus should be sensitive to the nuclear modification of parton distribution functions (nPDFs). In particular, proton-lead collisions provide an...Go to contribution page

Soumya Mohapatra (State University of New York (US))29/04/2015, 09:50WG4 QCD and Hadronic Final StatesMeasurements of soft particle production have provided valuable insight on properties of the evolution of the quark-gluon plasma in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC. In particular, measurements of flow harmonics using the azimuthal angle distributions of low-pT particles directly test hydrodynamic model descriptions of its evolution. The large acceptance of the ATLAS detector enables...Go to contribution page

Paolo Gunnellini (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DE))29/04/2015, 10:45WG4 QCD and Hadronic Final StatesA measurement of the underlying event activity in pp collisions is performed using events with a leading charged particle jet produced at central pseudorapidities and of transverse momentum in the range of 1 to 100 GeV. The underlying event activity is measured independently in the two halves of the transverse region with the maximum as well as minimum activities.

By extending the measurement into the forward phase space and also towards low-pT the sensitivity to new features of QCD is maximised.

Tomas Jezo (Milano Bicocca)29/04/2015, 14:50WG4 QCD and Hadronic Final StatesWe discuss the subject of matching the NLO QCD corrections to the parton shower for processes mediated by coloured resonances. In order to perform precise realistic simulations of the production of resonances their decay must be included. In current frameworks for NLO+PS simulations, however, problems arise when generating the radiation from the decay of the resonance, especially for narrow...Go to contribution page

Enrico Bothmann (II. Physikalisches Institut, Universitaet Goettingen)29/04/2015, 16:40WG4 QCD and Hadronic Final StatesThe determination of theoretical error estimates and PDF/$\alpha_s$-fits require fast evaluations of differential cross sections for varied QCD input parameters. These include PDFs, the strong coupling constant $\alpha_S$ and the renormalization and factorization scales. Beyond leading order QCD, a full dedicated calculation for each set of parameters is often too time-consuming,...Go to contribution page

Dr Mirko Serino (Institute of Nuclear Physics, PAN, Cracow)29/04/2015, 17:05WG4 QCD and Hadronic Final StatesWe use an extension of the Britto-Cachazo-Feng-Witten (BCFW) recursion relation to evaluate analytically tree-level 5-point matrix elements of two fermions and three gluons with one of the partons off the mass-shell, while preserving gauge invariance.

Heather Turmeau Mcaslan (University of Sussex (GB))30/04/2015, 12:00WG4 QCD and Hadronic Final StatesEvent shape observables are essential tools for studying the behaviour of high energy QCD. Yet in the region where soft and collinear gluon emission is most dominant, standard perturbation theory is rendered unreliable and the series must be resummed to all orders in the strong coupling. We have recently developed a general method for the resummation of event shapes, in e+e- annihilation, at...Go to contribution page
