Vector boson scattering: Recent experimental and theory developments
2018
This document summarises the talks and discussions happened during the VBSCan Split17 workshop, the first general meeting of the VBSCan COST Action network. This collaboration is aiming at a consistent and coordinated study of vector-boson scattering from the phenomenological and experimental point of view, for the best exploitation of the data that will be delivered by existing and future particle colliders.

Efficiency correction factor $C_{WW}$, defined as the ratio of the number of reconstructed $W^{\pm}W^{\pm}jj$ electroweak events in the signal region over the number of events generated in the fiducial phase space, in bins of the dijet invariant mass, $m_{jj}$. The numbers are shown with their statistical and systematic uncertainties added in quadrature. The $C_{WW}$ factors have been calculated with Sherpa v2.2.2. The last bin includes the overflow.

Efficiency correction factor $C_{WW}$, defined as the ratio of the number of reconstructed $W^{\pm}W^{\pm}jj$ electroweak events in the signal region over the number of events generated in the fiducial phase space, in bins of the dilepton invariant mass, $m_{ll}$. The numbers are shown with their statistical and systematic uncertainties added in quadrature. The $C_{WW}$ factors have been calculated with Sherpa v2.2.2. The last bin includes the overflow.

Impact of different components of systematic uncertainty on the measured fiducial cross section, without taking into account correlations. The impact of one source of systematic uncertainty is computed by first performing the fit with the corresponding nuisance parameter fixed to one standard deviation up or down from the value obtained in the nominal fit, then these up and down variations are symmetrized. The impacts of several sources of systematic uncertainty are added in quadrature for each component. The categorization of sources of systematic uncertainties into experimental and theory modeling correspond to those used for the measured fiducial cross section.

The $m_{ll}$ distribution for events meeting all selection criteria for the signal region as predicted after the fit. The fitted signal strength and nuisance parameters have been propagated, with the exception of the uncertainties due to the interference and electroweak corrections for which a flat uncertainty is assigned. The last bin includes the overflow. The highest value measured in a candidate event in data is $m_{ll}=824$ GeV.

The $m_{jj}$ distribution for events meeting all selection criteria for the signal region. Signal and individual background distributions are shown as predicted after the fit. The last bin includes the overflow. The highest value measured in a candidate event in data is $m_{jj}=3.8$ TeV.
All-Fiber Laser With Intracavity Acousto-Optic Dynamic Mode Converter for Efficient Generation of Radially Polarized Cylindrical Vector Beams
2017
We report an all-fiber laser that emits a radially polarized cylindrical vector beam (CVB) at 1 μm based on an intracavity acousto-optic mode converter. We efficiently generate the CVB, taking advantage of the acousto-optic coupling from the HE11 mode to the TM01 mode in a two-mode fiber. The laser can be switched from emitting a Gaussian-like beam to a radially polarized CVB. Radially polarized CVBs with modal and polarization purities >98% and a maximum power of 65 mW were generated.
