64. Radiative Decays of the Higgs Boson to a Pair of Fermions

Xing Wang (University of Pittsburgh)

19/07/2017, 08:30

We present a phenomenological study of the Higgs radiative decay to a fermion pair. We include the chirality-flipping diagrams via the Yukawa couplings at the order $\mathcal{O}(y_f^2 \alpha)$, the chirality-conserving contributions via the top-quark loops of the order $\mathcal{O}(y_t^2 \alpha^3)$, and the electroweak loops at the order $\mathcal{O}(\alpha^4)$. All the leptonic radiative...

63. Higgs to light jets

Zhuoni Qian (University of Pittsburgh)

19/07/2017, 08:45

We study the Higgs boson (h) decay to two light jets at the 14 TeV High-Luminosity-LHC (HL-LHC), where a light jet (j) represents any non-flavor tagged jet from the observational point of view. The decay mode h→gg is chosen as the benchmark since it is the dominant channel in the Standard Model (SM), but the bound obtained is also applicable to the light quarks (j=u,d,s). We estimate the...

59. ATLAS High Luminosity LHC studies

Anna Kathryn Duncan (University of Glasgow (GB))

The High-Luminosity LHC aims to provide a total integrated luminosity of 3000/fb from proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 14 TeV over the course of ~10 years, reaching instantaneous luminosities of up to L = 7.5 x 10^34/cm^2/s, corresponding to an average of 200 inelastic p-p collisions per bunch crossing (mu = 200). Fast simulation studies have been carried out to evaluate the prospects of...

60. HL-LHC Developments from CMS

Julie Hogan (Brown University (US))

20/07/2017, 11:30

The prospects for boosted physics and jet substructure at the HL-LHC are presented, along with technical capabilities and updates to the detector that will assist in these measurements and searches.

39. Jet reconstruction and boosted object tagging at the Compact Linear Collider

Lars Rickard Strom (CERN)

20/07/2017, 12:00

The Compact Linear Collider project envisages an electron-positron collider
with a low-energy stage at sqrt(s) = 380 GeV and an ultimate center-of-mass
reach up to 3 TeV. Detailed Monte Carlo simulation studies of the detector
are performed to optimize the design of the experiment and to understand
the physics potential. CLIC aims to meet the challenging requirements on
jet reconstruction...

41. Simulations of detector response for multi-TeV physics at a 100 TeV pp collider

Sergei Chekanov (Argonne National Laboratory (US))

20/07/2017, 12:30

We discuss performance requirements for future detectors in the context of reconstruction of multi-TeV objects (single particles and jets) at a 100 TeV collider. A software framework based on a Geant4 simulation together with a realistic reconstruction of tracks and calorimeter clusters is presented. Using this framework, we discuss response and momentum resolution of the tracker and the...
