Photoproduction of thef2′(1525), a2(1320), andK2*(1430)
2016
Assuming that the ${f}_{2}^{\ensuremath{'}}(1525), {a}_{2}(1320)$, and ${K}_{2}^{*}(1430)$ resonances are dynamically generated states from vector-meson--vector-meson interactions in the $s$-wave with spin $S=2$, we study the $\ensuremath{\gamma}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{f}_{2}^{\ensuremath{'}}(1525)p, \ensuremath{\gamma}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{a}_{2}^{0}(1320)p$, and $\ensuremath{\gamma}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}_{2}^{*}(1430)\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}(\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Sigma}})$ reactions. These reactions proceed in the following way: the incoming photon first mutates into a ${\ensuremath{\rho}}^{0}, \ensuremath{\omega}$, or $\ensuremath{\phi}$ meson via vector-meson dominance, …
Molecular interpretation of the XYZ states
2012
We study the vector – vector system including all the possible channels with quantum numbers charm = 0, strangeness = 0 around the energy region of 4000 MeV. New states with hidden charm around 4000MeV have been discovered by the B factories. They are intriguingly close to the D*D¯*${D^*}{ar D^*}$ and Ds*D¯s*$D_s^*ar D_s^*$ thresholds and do not have the properties of the charmonium states.We study the possible formation of D*D¯*${D^*}{ar D^*}$ and Ds*D¯s*$D_s^*ar D_s^*$ bound states in the framework of the Hidden Gauge formalism and discuss some of the models that favor the molecular assumption of some XYZ states: The hidden gauge formalism, Heavy baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory and the …
Search for the Higgs Boson in Events with Missing Transverse Energy andbQuark Jets Produced inpp¯Collisions ats=1.96 TeV
2008
We search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with an electroweak vector boson in events with no identified charged leptons, large imbalance in transverse momentum, and two jets where at least one contains a secondary vertex consistent with the decay of b hadrons. We use {approx}1 fb{sup -1} integrated luminosity of p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV recorded by the CDF II experiment at the Tevatron. We find 268 (16) single (double) b-tagged candidate events, where 248 {+-} 43 (14.4 {+-} 2.7) are expected from standard model background processes. We place 95% confidence level upper limits on the Higgs boson production cross section for several Higgs boson ma…
A new method for suppressing excited-state contaminations on the nucleon form factors
2018
One of the most challenging tasks in lattice calculations of baryon form factors is the analysis and control of excited-state contaminations. Taking the isovector axial form factors of the nucleon as an example, both a dispersive representation and a calculation in chiral effective field theory show that the excited-state contributions become dominant at fixed source-sink separation when the axial current is spatially distant from the nucleon source location. We address this effect with a new method in which the axial current is localized by a Gaussian wave-packet and apply it on a CLS ensemble with $N_f=2+1$ flavors of O($a$) improved Wilson fermions with a pion mass of $m_\pi=200\,$MeV.
Vector correlator and scale determination in lattice QCD
2013
We implement a proposal made in [arXiv:1107.4388] to determine the lattice spacing by matching the lattice vector correlator at a reference distance scale with the same correlator obtained by a dispersion relation based on the $R$-ratio determined experimentally. We work with the isovector current, requiring a separation of the isovector hadronic final states on the phenomenological side. We also discuss the finite-size effect on the correlator, which must be controlled in order for the method to be applicable.
Exotic bcq¯q¯ four-quark states
2019
We carry out a systematic study of exotic $Q{Q}^{\ensuremath{'}}\overline{q}\overline{q}$ four-quark states containing distinguishable heavy flavors, $b$ and $c$. Different generic constituent models are explored in an attempt to extract general conclusions. The results are robust, predicting the same sets of quantum numbers as the best candidates to lodge bound states independently of the model used, the isoscalar ${J}^{P}={0}^{+}$ and ${J}^{P}={1}^{+}$ states. The first state would be strong and electromagnetic-interaction stable, while the second would decay electromagnetically to $\overline{B}D\ensuremath{\gamma}$. Isovector states are found to be unbound, preventing the existence of ch…
Break-up and Coherent Photoproduction ofηMesons on the Deuteron
1997
We present new break-up and coherent data for $\ensuremath{\eta}$ meson photoproduction on the deuteron, using a deuterium target and tagged bremsstrahlung photons up to 1 GeV. The differential cross sections for the coherent process were measured from threshold to 800 MeV. They are much smaller than those previously reported. The break-up channel provides a direct measurement of the neutron to proton differential cross section ratios. At the ${S}_{11}(1535)$ resonance peak, ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{n}/{\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{p}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}0.68\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.06$ leading to an isoscalar to isovector amplitude ratio of ${A}_{s}{/A}_{\ensurem…
Search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a vector boson and decaying into a tau pair inppcollisions ats=8 TeVwith the …
2016
A search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a vector boson with the decay H -> tau tau is presented. The data correspond to 20.3 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity from proton-proton collisions at root s = 8 TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC during 2012. The data agree with the background expectation, and 95% confidence-level upper limits are placed on the cross section of this process. The observed (expected) limit, expressed in terms of the signal strength mu= sigma/sigma(SM) for m(H) = 125 GeV, is mu < 5.6 (3.7). The measured value of the signal strength is mu = 2.3 +/- 1.6.
Global fits in the Georgi-Machacek model
2019
Off the beaten track of scalar singlet and doublet extensions of the Standard Model, triplets combine an interesting LHC phenomenology with an explanation for neutrino masses. The Georgi-Machacek model falls into this category, but it has never been fully explored in a global fit. We use the {\texttt{HEPfit}} package to combine recent experimental Higgs data with theoretical constraints and obtain strong limits on the mixing angles and mass differences between the heavy new scalars as well as their decay widths. We also find that the current signal strength measurements allow for a Higgs to vector boson coupling with an opposite sign to the Standard Model, but this possibility can be ruled …
Search for chargino-neutralino production using recursive jigsaw reconstruction in final states with two or three charged leptons in proton-proton co…
2018
A search for electroweak production of supersymmetric particles is performed in two-lepton and three-lepton final states using recursive jigsaw reconstruction, a technique that assigns reconstructed objects to the most probable hemispheres of the decay trees, allowing one to construct tailored kinematic variables to separate the signal and background. The search uses data collected in 2015 and 2016 by the ATLAS experiment in s=13 TeV proton-proton collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb-1. Chargino-neutralino pair production, with decays via W/Z bosons, is studied in final states involving leptons and jets and missing transverse mome…
