Measurements of Lund subjet multiplicities in 13 TeV proton-proton collisions with the ATLAS detector

This Letter presents a differential cross-section measurement of Lund subjet multiplicities, suitable for testing current and future parton shower Monte Carlo algorithms. This measurement is made in dijet events in 140 fb−1 of s=13 TeV proton–proton collision data collected with the ATLAS detector at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. The data are unfolded to account for acceptance and detector-related effects, and are then compared with several Monte Carlo models and to recent resummed analytical calculations. The experimental precision achieved in the measurement allows tests of higher-order effects in QCD predictions. Most predictions fail to accurately describe the measured data, particularly at large values of jet transverse momentum accessible at the Large Hadron Collider, indicating the measurement's utility as an input to future parton shower developments and other studies probing fundamental properties of QCD and the production of hadronic final states up to the TeV-scale.

A semiempirical model for low energy electron–atom transport cross sections: The case of noble gases

A semiempirical approach to describe low energy electron–atom transport cross sections of easy implementation and reproduction is presented. The heart of the model is an energy independent two-parameter potential that was adjusted to reproduce the accurate total cross sections for He, Ne, Ar and Kr, measured with a threshold photoelectron source technique from meV up to 20 eV. Once the potential was conceived, the model was validated by comparing the values obtained for the calculated scattering lengths and phase shifts with the respective quantities previously reported in the literature. We close the article by presenting the momentum transfer and viscosity cross sections. Good agreement is found when compared to the similar data obtained from swarm experiments, from phase shifts according to differential cross section measurements and to the cross sections reported by sophisticated ab initio relativistic many-body calculations. Tables for the phase shifts and cross sections are provided for direct use and applications.

Differential cross-sections for events with missing transverse momentum and jets measured with the ATLAS detector in 13 TeV proton-proton collisions

The measurements are made with the ATLAS detector using an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1 and include measurements of dijet distributions in a region in which vector-boson fusion processes are enhanced. They are unfolded to correct for detector resolution and efficiency within the fiducial acceptance, and are designed to allow robust comparisons with a wide range of theoretical predictions. A measurement of differential cross sections for the Z → νν process is made. The measurements are generally well-described by Standard Model predictions except for the dijet invariant mass distribution. Auxiliary measurements of the hadronic system recoiling against isolated leptons, and photons, are also made in the same phase space. Ratios between the measured distributions are then derived, to take advantage of cancellations in modelling effects and some of the major systematic uncertainties. These measurements are sensitive to new phenomena, and provide a mechanism to easily set constraints on phenomenological models. To illustrate the robustness of the approach, these ratios are compared with two common Dark Matter models, where the constraints derived from the measurement are comparable to those set by dedicated detector-level searches.

First Simultaneous Measurement of Differential Muon-Neutrino Charged-Current Cross Sections on Argon for Final States with and without Protons Using MicroBooNE Data.

We report the first double-differential neutrino-argon cross section measurement made simultaneously for final states with and without protons for the inclusive muon neutrino charged-current interaction channel. The proton kinematics of this channel are further explored with a differential cross section measurement as a function of the leading proton's kinetic energy that extends across the detection threshold. These measurements use data collected with the MicroBooNE detector from 6.4×10^{20} protons on target from the Fermilab booster neutrino beam with a mean neutrino energy of ∼0.8 GeV. Extensive data-driven model validation utilizing the conditional constraint formalism is employed. This motivates enlarging the uncertainties with an empirical reweighting approach to minimize the possibility of extracting biased cross section results. The extracted nominal flux-averaged cross sections are compared to widely used event generator predictions revealing severe mismodeling of final states without protons for muon neutrino charged-current interactions, possibly from insufficient treatment of final state interactions. These measurements provide a wealth of new information useful for improving event generators which will enhance the sensitivity of precision measurements in neutrino experiments.

Inclusive cross section measurements in final states with and without protons for charged-current νμ -Ar scattering in MicroBooNE

A detailed understanding of inclusive muon neutrino charged-current interactions on argon is crucial to the study of neutrino oscillations in current and future experiments using liquid argon time projection chambers. To that end, we report a comprehensive set of differential cross section measurements for this channel that simultaneously probe the leptonic and hadronic systems by dividing the channel into final states with and without protons. Measurements of the proton kinematics and proton multiplicity of the final state are also presented. For these measurements, we utilize data collected with the MicroBooNE detector from 6.4×1020 protons on target from the Fermilab booster neutrino beam at a mean neutrino energy of approximately 0.8 GeV. We present in detail the cross section extraction procedure, including the unfolding, and model validation that uses data to model comparisons and the conditional constraint formalism to detect mismodeling that may introduce biases to extracted cross sections that are larger than their uncertainties. The validation exposes insufficiencies in the overall model, motivating the inclusion of an additional data-driven reweighting systematic to ensure the accuracy of the unfolding. The extracted results are compared to a number of event generators and their performance is discussed with a focus on the regions of phase space that indicate the greatest need for modeling improvements.

Observation and differential cross section measurement of neutral current DIS events with an empty hemisphere in the Breit frame

The Breit frame provides a natural frame to analyze lepton–proton scattering events. In this reference frame, the parton model hard interactions between a quark and an exchanged boson defines the coordinate system such that the struck quark is back-scattered along the virtual photon momentum direction. In Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), higher order perturbative or non-perturbative effects can change this picture drastically. As Bjorken-x decreases below one half, a rather peculiar event signature is predicted with increasing probability, where no radiation is present in one of the two Breit-frame hemispheres and all emissions are to be found in the other hemisphere.

We report on the first observation of the empty current hemisphere events in electron–proton collisions at the HERA collider using data recorded with the H1 detector at a center-of-mass energy of 319 GeV.

Test of CP-invariance of the Higgs boson in vector-boson fusion production and in its decay into four leptons

A search for CP violation in the decay kinematics and vector-boson fusion production of the Higgs boson is performed in the H → ZZ* → 4ℓ (ℓ = e, μ) decay channel. The results are based on proton-proton collision data produced at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector from 2015 to 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1. Matrix element-based optimal observables are used to constrain CP-odd couplings beyond the Standard Model in the framework of Standard Model effective field theory expressed in the Warsaw and Higgs bases. Differential fiducial cross-section measurements of the optimal observables are also performed, and a new fiducial cross-section measurement for vector-boson-fusion production is provided. All measurements are in agreement with the Standard Model prediction of a CP-even Higgs boson.

Angular differential cross section measurement for 11B(p, α0)8Be reaction with proton energy of 2.5 MeV

This report presents experimental differential cross section measurements at α0-particles’ eight outgoing angles of 50°, 70°, 90°, 106°, 120°, 130°, 150°, and 160° from 11B(p, α0)8Be reaction induced by 2.5 MeV proton beam bombarding on a natural boron target. The proton beams were accelerated by the 5SDH-2 pelletron at the University of Science - Hanoi National University (HUS). A good agreement has been observed between the obtained results and those from the literature. The importance of the data in a widely angular range is evidenced for the precise determination of the total integrated cross section.

Simple Lévy α-Stable Model Analysis of Elastic pp and pp¯ Low-|t| Data from SPS to LHC Energies

A simple Lévy α-stable (SL) model is used to describe the data on elastic pp and pp¯ scattering at low-|t| from SPS energies up to LHC energies. The SL model is demonstrated to describe the data with a strong non-exponential feature in a statistically acceptable manner. The energy dependence of the parameters of the model is determined and analyzed. The Lévy α parameter of the model has an energy-independent value of 1.959 ± 0.002 following from the strong non-exponential behavior of the data. We strengthen the conclusion that the discrepancy between TOTEM and ATLAS elastic pp differential cross section measurements arises only in the normalization and not in the shape of the distribution of the data as a function of t. We find that the slope parameter has different values for pp and pp¯ elastic scattering at LHC energies. This may be the effect of the odderon exchange or the jump in the energy dependence of the slope parameter in the energy interval 3 GeV ≲s≲ 4 GeV.

Differential cross-section measurements of the production of four charged leptons in association with two jets using the ATLAS detector

Differential cross-sections are measured for the production of four charged leptons in association with two jets. These measurements are sensitive to final states in which the jets are produced via the strong interaction as well as to the purely-electroweak vector boson scattering process. The analysis is performed using proton-proton collision data collected by ATLAS at sqrt{s} = 13 TeV and with an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1. The data are corrected for the effects of detector inefficiency and resolution and are compared to state-of-the-art Monte Carlo event generator predictions. The differential cross-sections are used to search for anomalous weak-boson self-interactions that are induced by dimension-six and dimension-eight operators in Standard Model effective field theory.

Stereodynamical control of cold HD + D2 collisions.

We report full-dimensional quantum calculations of stereodynamic control of HD(v = 1, j = 2) + D2 collisions that has been probed experimentally by Perreault et al. using the Stark-induced adiabatic Raman passage (SARP) technique. Computations were performed on two highly accurate full-dimensional H4 potential energy surfaces. It is found that for both potential surfaces, rotational quenching of HD from with concurrent rotational excitation of D2 from is the dominant transition with cross sections four times larger than that of elastically scattered D2 for the same quenching transition in HD. This process was not considered in the original analysis of the SARP experiments that probed ΔjHD = -2 transitions in HD(vHD = 1, jHD = 2) + D2 collisions. Cross sections are characterized by an l = 3 resonance for ortho-D2(jD2 = 0) collisions, while both l = 1 and l = 3 resonances are observed for the para-D2(jD2 = 1) partner. While our results are in excellent agreement with prior measurements of elastic and inelastic differential cross sections, the agreement is less satisfactory with the SARP experiments, in particular for the transition for which the theoretical calculations indicate that D2 rotational excitation channel is the dominant inelastic process.

Differential cross–section measurements for the proton-induced alpha and deuteron reactions and elastic scattering on 9Be, suitable for Ion beam analysis applications

In the current work the differential cross sections for the proton-induced 9Be(p,d0)8Be and 9Be(p,α0)6Li nuclear reactions (Q-values = 559 and 2125 keV respectively), as well as, the 9Be(p,p0)9Be elastic scattering were measured for 6 backscattering detection angles (θ = 120°, 130°, 140°, 150°, 160° and 170°) covering the Ep,lab = 300–3000 keV energy range with an energy step between 10 and 50 keV. The total estimated uncertainties of the determined cross-section values did not exceed 6.4 % for the elastic scattering, 7.0 % for the 9Be(p,α0)6Li and 9.9 % for the 9Be(p,d0)8Be reaction. Benchmarking measurements were also performed with a suitable thick target in order to validate the obtained cross-section values. The present experimental results constitute three coherent differential cross-section datasets suitable for IBA applications. The measurements were performed at the 4 MV Tandem Dynamitron Laboratory of the Ruhr University Bochum in Germany. The experimental, data analysis and benchmarking procedures are presented in detail.

Top Quarks from Tevatron to the LHC

Recent measurements in the top quark sector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider are discussed. This review discusses the most recent measurements of inclusive and differential top quark cross-sections in strong and electroweak production of top quarks and related measurements, such as top quark properties, as well as searches, including EFT approaches.

Measurements of differential cross sections of Higgs boson production through gluon fusion in the Hrightarrow WW^{*}rightarrow enu mu nu final state at sqrt{s} = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

Higgs boson production via gluon–gluon fusion is measured in the WW^{*} rightarrow enu mu nu decay channel. The dataset utilized corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb^{-1} collected by the ATLAS detector from sqrt{s}=13 TeV proton–proton collisions delivered by the Large Hadron Collider between 2015 and 2018. Differential cross sections are measured in a fiducial phase space restricted to the production of at most one additional jet. The results are consistent with Standard Model expectations, derived using different Monte Carlo generators.

Measurements of W^{+}W^{-} production in decay topologies inspired by searches for electroweak supersymmetry

This paper presents a measurement of fiducial and differential cross-sections for W^{+}W^{-} production in proton–proton collisions at sqrt{s}=13 TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb^{-1}. Events with exactly one electron, one muon and no hadronic jets are studied. The fiducial region in which the measurements are performed is inspired by searches for the electroweak production of supersymmetric charginos decaying to two-lepton final states. The selected events have moderate values of missing transverse momentum and the ‘stransverse mass’ variable m_{textrm{T2}}, which is widely used in searches for supersymmetry at the LHC. The ranges of these variables are chosen so that the acceptance is enhanced for direct W^{+}W^{-} production and suppressed for production via top quarks, which is treated as a background. The fiducial cross-section and particle-level differential cross-sections for six variables are measured and compared with two theoretical SM predictions from perturbative QCD calculations.

Measurements of inclusive and differential cross sections for the Higgs boson production and decay to four-leptons in proton-proton collisions at sqrt{s} = 13 TeV

Measurements of the inclusive and differential fiducial cross sections for the Higgs boson production in the H → ZZ → 4ℓ (ℓ = e, μ) decay channel are presented. The results are obtained from the analysis of proton-proton collision data recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1. The measured inclusive fiducial cross section is 2.73 ± 0.26 fb, in agreement with the standard model expectation of 2.86 ± 0.1 fb. Differential cross sections are measured as a function of several kinematic observables sensitive to the Higgs boson production and decay to four leptons. A set of double-differential measurements is also performed, yielding a comprehensive characterization of the four leptons final state. Constraints on the Higgs boson trilinear coupling and on the bottom and charm quark coupling modifiers are derived from its transverse momentum distribution. All results are consistent with theoretical predictions from the standard model.
