  1. 87. Heavy Ion Physics
    Eero Aleksi Kurkela (CERN)

    Heavy Ion physics
    Invited

    I will discuss recent developments in theory of heavy ion physics. In particular, I will discuss how relativistic fluid dynamics arises from fundamental interactions and how the emergence of collective phenomena can be studied by focusing in questions where the hydrodynamical paradigm is under stress.

  3. 92. Study of the SM Higgs boson decaying to WW with ATLAS

    Particle physics - experiment
    Contributed talk

    After the discovery of the Standard Model Higgs boson in 2012, we have entered the era of precision measurements of this particle. The decay to two W bosons constitutes the second largest branching ratio for the decay of the Higgs. An overview of the analysis strategy in the Higgs boson cross section measurement in the H->WW(*)->evμv decay channel performed by the ATLAS experiment will be...

  4. 85. On interference and non-interference in the SMEFT
    Mr Andreas Helset

    Particle physics - theory
    Contributed talk

    We discuss interference in the limit m^2W/s→0 in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). Dimension six operators that contribute to ψ¯ψ→ψ′¯1ψ′2ψ′¯3ψ′4 scattering events can experience a suppression of interference effects with the Standard Model in this limit. This occurs for subsets of phase space in some helicity configurations. We show that approximating these scattering events...

  5. 96. The Little Bang of Heavy Ion Collisions
    Ms Meera Vieira Machado (Niels Bohr Institute)

    Heavy Ion physics
    Contributed talk

    The Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) produced in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) undergoes a similar evolution to that of our Universe. The collision produces an explosive expansion caused by high pressure gradients and it then cools down, forming free-streaming hadrons. The earliest stages of the Universe are probed through the cosmic microwave background (CMB). In a similar manner to the analysis...

  6. 86. Investigation of hadron collisions with angular correlations

    Heavy Ion physics
    Contributed talk

    Two-particle angular correlations as a function of pseudorapidity difference, $\Delta\eta$, and azimuthal angle difference, $\Delta\varphi$, are a comprehensive tool which allows the explaration of the underlying physics phenomena of particle production in collisions of both protons and heavy ions. These correlations open up the possibility to study a number of mechanisms simultaneously. Many...

  7. 74. Dynamical vs. geometric anisotropy in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
    Larisa Bravina (University of Oslo (NO)), Evgeny Zabrodin (Universiyu of Oslo)

    Heavy Ion physics
    Contributed talk

    We study the influence of geometric and dynamical anisotropies on the development of flow harmonics and, simultaneously, on the second- and third-order oscillations of femtoscopy radii. The analysis is done within the Monte Carlo event generator HYDJET++, which was extended to dynamical triangular deformations. It is shown that the merely geometric anisotropy provides the results which...

  8. 111. Charmed states on the lattice
    Dr Elena Lushchevskaya (ITEP)
    03/01/2018, 18:45
    Contributed talk

    Study of the charmonium states play important role in understanding of the strong interaction. The most interesting charmonium states lie near or above open charm threshold. Nature of such states is of interest to modern physics. Recent lattice calculations have performed the necessary extrapolations and considered spectra as well as certain radiative transitions. The lattice QCD simulations...
