  1. 189. Mini-Review: Matrix Element Techniques
    Konstantin Matchev (University of Florida (US))

  2. 133. Searching for new collider resonances through topological models
    Mohammad Abdullah (University of California , Irvine)

    parallel talk
    We propose a systematic way of searching for new physics at colliders that compliments existing strategies. Starting from a given final state topology we survey the possible resonance structures that lead to such a final state. As a case study we examine the *lljj* final state and propose analysis techniques and give sensitivity estimates for the $\sqrt{s}=14\ TeV$ and $\mathcal{L}= 300\ ...

  3. 49. Discovering New Physics with Voronoi Tessellations
    James Gainer (University of Florida (US))
    05/05/2015, 17:15
    parallel talk
    Edge detection and inferring distributions from discrete data are both important problems in particle physics, especially in searching for physics beyond the standard model. We demonstrate how methods involving Voronoi tessellations can be used to accomplish both of these tasks.

  4. 29. On the implementation of the UED model in Pythia, CalcHEP and MadGraph
    Ms Dipsikha Debnath (University of Florida)
    05/05/2015, 17:30
    parallel talk
    We study analytically and numerically the production cross-sections in the UED model where all SM model fields propagate in one extra compact dimension. We derive analytical formulas for the parton-level cross-sections in the general case of non-degenerate KK masses. We compare numerically three existing mUED implementations: PYTHIA, CalcHEP and MadGraph. We identify and remove some...

  5. 18. Automated Event Plotting with RHADAManTHUS (Recursively Heuristic Analysis, Display, And Manipulation: The Histogram Utility Suite)
    Joel Wesley Walker (Texas A & M University (US))
    05/05/2015, 17:45
    parallel talk
    RHADAManTHUS is a consumer-level tool for the automated graphical representation and optimization of collider event statistics. A simple, compact, and powerful meta-language syntax facilitates the generation of sophisticated publication-quality plots based upon instructions supplied in a reusable card file. The weighted recombination and over-sampling of distinct or duplicative data channels...

  6. 208. Recent improvements on Monte Carlo modelling at ATLAS
    Rachik Soualah (Universita degli Studi di Udine (IT))
    05/05/2015, 18:00
    Tools & Software
    parallel talk
    The most recent findings on the Monte Carlo simulation of proton-proton collisions at ATLAS are presented. In this, the most recent combined MPI and shower tunes performed using 7 TeV ATLAS data are reported, as well as improved modelling of electroweak processes, and processes containing top using recent MC generators and PDF sets.

  7. 23. One-loop Feynman integrals made easy with Package-X
    Hiren Patel (Max Planck Institute)
    05/05/2015, 18:15
    parallel talk
    Package-X is a Mathematica package designed to analytically compute dimensionally regulated one-loop Feynman integrals. UV-divergent, IR-divergent and finite parts are all obtained analytically for any combination of external invariants or internal masses. In this talk, Package-X will be showcased with a series of illustrative applications highlighting its ease of use. Technical details...
