title to be confirmed
The production of two same-sign W bosons in association with two jets via vector boson scattering (VBS), ssWWjj, is a key probe of the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking, with the Higgs boson unitarising the process' cross-section. Longitudinal ssWWjj involves the spin-0 modes of the gauge bosons arising from EWSB, and is very sensitive to BSM physics.
With the Run-2 and Run-3...
A mechanism accommodating baryonic Dark Matter (DM) has been proposed recently [arXiv:2101.02706,arXiv:1810.00880]. This has the advantage of explaining matter-anti-matter imbalance and DM at once, without requiring the proton to be unstable. The DM particles, carrying baryon number, would be produced in $b$-hadron decays, through a t-channel mediator. In this model, $b$-hadron branching...
The ATLAS experiment has been in successful operation at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) since 2009, collecting data from proton-proton collisions of up to $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV. It is now gearing up to collect its majority of data at the high luminosity LHC. For this, upgrades are underway to face the challenge of a significant increase in number of interactions per bunch-crossing (pile-up),...
