The high-precision measurement of the W-boson mass (MW) offers the possibility of a stringent test of the Standard Model of the electroweak and strong interactions. The uncertainty of the current world average for MW is 0.2 per mille and the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at CERN are planning to measure MW reaching a final error of 15 MeV or eventually 10 MeV: such a precision requires a careful...
With the goal of increasing the precision of NLO QCD prediction for pp -> ttA in the dilepton decay channel we study cross section ratios. Our analysis is based on fully realistic matrix elements including off-shell effects and interferences between resonance and continuum contributions. Focusing on the LHC at 13 TeV we present numerical results for inclusive and differential ratios and a...
The LHC can be considered as a photon-photon collider with photons produced in ultraperipheral collisions of charged particles. Ultraperipheral collision is a kind of collision when the colliding particles pass at large distance from each other and collide with their electromagnetic fields. The particles remain intact after the collision. Electromagnetic field of an ultrarelativistic particle...
