A search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in the Vector Boson Fusion production mode of the H → WW ∗ → lνlν channel at the 125 GeV mass point is presented. Simulated event data from 2011 and 2012 is used to train a Boosted Decision Tree (BDT). The datasets correspond to integrated luminosities of 4.7fb−1 in 2011 and 5.8fb−1 in 2012 at total interaction point energies of √ s = 7 TeV and √ s = ...

When charged current weak interations are excluded, the neutral current weak interaction is formally similar to ordinary electromagnetism with a massive photon. In this spirit, the Maxwell equations for the fields of the Z-boson are derived from the standard model. These describe the Z-boson scalar and vector potentials, and the Z-boson electric and magnetic fields whose sources are electron an...

We derive a bosonic Hamiltonian from two dimensional QCD on the light-front. To obtain the bosonic theory we find that it is useful to apply the boson expansion method which is the standard technique in quantum many-body physics. We introduce bilocal boson operators to represent the gauge-invariant quark bilinears and then local boson operators as the collective states of the bilocal bosons. If...

Electronic states near a square Fermi surface are mapped onto quantum chains. Using boson-fermion duality on the chains, the bosonic part of the interaction is isolated and diagonalized. These interactions destroy Fermi liquid behavior. Non-boson interactions are also generated by this mapping, and give rise to a new perturbation theory about the boson problem. A case with strong repulsions bet...

Subject of our present paper is the analysis of the origins or historical roots of the Higgs boson research from a bibliometric perspective, using a segmented regression analysis in a reference publication year spectroscopy (RPYS). Our analysis is based on the references cited in the Higgs boson publications published since 1974. The objective of our analysis consists of identifying concrete in...

Some general features of the scattering of boson-based anyons with an added non-statistical interaction are discussed. Periodicity requirements of the phase shifts are derived, and used to illustrate the danger inherent in separating these phase shifts into the well-known pure Aharanov-Bohm phase shifts, and an additional set which arise due to the interaction. It is proven that the added phase...

We show how the entanglement in a wide range of continuous variable non-Gaussian states can be preserved against decoherence for long-range quantum communication through an optical fiber. We apply protection via decoherence-free subspaces and quantum dynamical decoupling to this end. The latter is implemented by inserting phase shifters at regular intervals ∆ inside the fiber, where ∆ is roughl...

We discuss phenomenological consequences of some class of supersymmetric seesaw models in which the right-handed (s)neutrino mass is given to be TeV scale. In this scenario, scalar trilinear interaction of Higgs-slepton-(right-handed) sneutrino is enhanced. We show that the 1-loop correction by sneutrino exchange to the lightest Higgs boson mass destructively interferes with topstop contributio...

Of course, we don't mean to say that focusing on CF/LENR is because we're inclined to this kind of fusion, but because of our conviction to the idea that deep inside the nuclei, the structure resembles condensed matter physics (or superconductor), either using Ervin Goldfain's CGLE model, 'compressed hydrogen' (Rutherford), or Wilczek's theory [6]. Furthermore, one can find another hint by stud...

Condensate of a charged boson fluid at non-integer dimensions between 2 and 3 is studied. Interaction between particles is assumed to be Coulombic, and Bogoliubov approximation is applied for a weak coupling regime. The condensate and the superfluid fraction at finite temperatures and at non-integer dimensions are calculated. The theoretical results are compared with the superfluid densities of...
