Laurent Polynomials in Mirror Symmetry
Mirror Symmetry is one of the most exciting ideas in mathematics to emerge in the last two decades. It was introduced in physics as a duality between superconformal field theories. This book discusses this rapidly developing aspect of string theory. / Mirror symmetry is one of the most exciting ideas in mathematics to emerge in the last two decades...
Neutron and beta imaging with Micromegas detectors with optical readout
...
Recent developments have shown that coupling a Micromegas gaseous detector on a glass substrate with a transparent anode and a CMOS camera enables the optical readout of Micromegas detectors with a good spatial resolution, demonstrating that the glass Micromegas detector is well-suited for imaging. This feasibility test has been effectuated with lo...
The Forward Physics Facility at the High-Luminosity LHC
...
Published in Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics
High energy collisions at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produce a large number of particles along the beam collision axis, outside of the acceptance of existing LHC experiments. The proposed Forward Physics Facility (FPF), to be located several hundred meters from the ATLAS interaction point and shielded by concrete and rock, will...
Higgs-mass predictions in the MSSM and beyond
...
Published in The European Physical Journal C
Predictions for the Higgs masses are a distinctive feature of supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model, where they play a crucial role in constraining the parameter space. The discovery of a Higgs boson and the remarkably precise measurement of its mass at the LHC have spurred new efforts aimed at improving the accuracy of the theoretical pr...
No room to hide: implications of cosmic-ray upscattering for GeV-scale dark matter
The irreducible upscattering of cold dark matter by cosmic rays opens up the intriguing possibility of detecting even light dark matter in conventional direct detection experiments or underground neutrino detectors. The mechanism also significantly enhances sensitivity to models with very large nuclear scattering rates, where the atmosphere and roc...
Higher-curvature Gravities from Braneworlds and the Holographic c-theorem
We study the structure of the higher-curvature gravitational densities that are induced from holographic renormalization in AdS$_{d+1}$. In a braneworld construction, such densities define a d-dimensional higher-curvature gravitational theory on the brane, which in turn is dual to a (d-1)-dimensional CFT living at its boundary. We show that this CF...
Latest Results from ATLAS experiment
The talk will review the latest results from the ATLAS experiment for the Bormio 2023 conference
The medium-modified $g\to c\bar{c}$ splitting function in the BDMPS-Z formalism
The formalism of Baier-Dokshitzer-Mueller-Peign\'e-Schiff and Zakharov determines the modifications of parton splittings in the QCD plasma that arise from medium-induced gluon radiation. Here, we study medium-modifications of the gluon splitting into a quark--anti-quark pair in this BDMPS-Z formalism. We derive a compact path-integral formulation t...
CMS Tracker Alignment: Legacy results from LHC Run 2 and Run 3 prospects
The inner tracking system of the CMS experiment, which comprises Silicon Pixel and Silicon Strip detectors, is designed to provide a precise measurement of the momentum of charged particles and to reconstruct the primary and secondary vertices. The movements of the different substructures of the tracker detectors driven by the operating conditions ...
