Minimal U(1)′ extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model
(American Physical Society, 2005-07)
Motivated by the apparent need for extending the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) and perhaps mitigating naturalness problems associated with the μ parameter and fine-tuning of the soft masses, we augment the ...
Inflation with non-minimal coupling: Metric vs. Palatini formulations
(Elsevier, 2008-07-24)
We analyze non-minimally coupled scalar field theories in metric (second-order) and Palatini (first-order) formalisms in a comparative fashion. After contrasting them in a general setup, we specialize to inflation and find ...
Higher curvature quantum gravity and large extra dimensions
(Elsevier, 2006-02)
We discuss effective interactions among brane matter induced by modifications of higher dimensional Einstein gravity via the replacement of Einstein-Hilbert term with a generic function f(R) of the curvature scalar R. After ...
Phenomenological aspects of U(1)' models
(American Institute of Physics Publising, 2009)
This talk summarizes certain phenomenological aspects of the supersymmetric models with an extra U(1) invariance broken at the TeV scale. The discussions involve the Higgs sector, CP violation, Neutrino masses and the LHC ...
Time reconstruction and performance of the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter
(IOP Publishing, 2010)
The resolution and the linearity of time measurements made with the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter are studied with samples of data from test beam electrons, cosmic rays, and beam-produced muons. The resulting time ...
Measurement of the inclusive jet cross section in pp collisions at √s=7TeV
(American Physical Society, 2011-09)
The inclusive jet cross section is measured in pp collisions with a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider using the CMS experiment. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 34pb -1. ...
Fine synchronization of the CMS muon drift-tube local trigger using cosmic rays
(IOP Publishing, 2010)
The CMS experiment uses self-triggering arrays of drift tubes in the barrel muon trigger to perform the identification of the correct bunch crossing. The identification is unique only if the trigger chain is correctly ...
Search for resonances in the dilepton mass distribution in pp collisions at √s = 7TeV
(Springer, 2011)
A search for narrow resonances at high mass in the dimuon and dielectron channels has been performed by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC, using pp collision data recorded at √s = 7TeV. The event samples correspond to ...
Measurement of the Drell-Yan cross section in pp collisions at √ s = 7 TeV
(Springer, 2011)
The Drell-Yan differential cross section is measured in pp collisions at √ s = 7TeV, from a data sample collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb-1. The cross section ...
Curvature-Restored gauge invariance and ultraviolet naturalness
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2016)
It is shown that (aΛ2+b|H|2)R in a spacetime of curvature R is a natural ultraviolet (UV) completion of (aΛ4+bΛ2|H|2) in the flat-spacetime Standard Model (SM) with Higgs field H, UV scale Λ, and loop factors a and b. This ...
