Search for single production of vector-like quarks decaying to a top quark and a W boson in proton-proton collisions at TeV
(Springer, 2019-01-30)A search is presented for the single production of vector-like quarks in proton–proton collisions at s√=13TeV . The data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1 , were recorded with the CMS experiment ... -
Rationalizing CFTs and Anyonic Imprints on Higgs Branches
(Springer Verlag (Germany), 2019)We continue our program of mapping data of 4D N = 2 superconformal field theories (SCFTs) onto observables of 2D chiral rational conformal field theories (RCFTs) by revisiting an infinite set of strongly coupled ... -
Dual conformal invariance for form factors
(Springer, 2019-02-20)Form factors of the stress-tensor multiplet operator in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills reveal surprisingly simple structures similar to those appearing in scattering amplitudes. In this paper we show that, as for the ... -
Form factor recursion relations at loop level
(Springer, 2019-02-27)We introduce a prescription to define form factor integrands at loop level in planar N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. This relies on a periodic kinematic configuration that has been instrumental to describe form ... -
Search for invisible modes of nucleon decay in water with the SNO plus detector
(American Physical Society, 2019-02-20)This paper reports results from a search for nucleon decay through invisible modes, where no visible energy is directly deposited during the decay itself, during the initial water phase of SNO + . However, such decays ... -
Constraints on neutrino lifetime from the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory
(American Physical Society, 2019-02-25)The long baseline between Earth and the Sun makes solar neutrinos an excellent test beam for exploring possible neutrino decay. The signature of such decay would be an energy-dependent distortion of the traditional survival ... -
Modelling and fitting the Polaron Pair Magnetoconductance model to obtain a realistic local hyperfine field in Tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminium based diodes
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)Modelling and fitting the Polaron Pair Magnetoconductance model to obtain a realistic local hyperfine field in Tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminium based diodes Zhichao Weng, William P. Gillin and Theo Kreouzis* Materials ... -
Spider dragline silk as torsional actuator driven by humidity.
(2019-03)Self-powered actuation driven by ambient humidity is of practical interest for applications such as hygroscopic artificial muscles. We demonstrate that spider dragline silk exhibits a humidity-induced torsional deformation ... -
Interior properties of the inner Saturnian moons from space astrometry data
(Elsevier, 2019-03-04)During the thirteen years in orbit around Saturn before its final plunge, the Cassini spacecraft provided more than ten thousand astrometric measurements. Such large amounts of accurate data enable the search for extremely ... -
Effective field theory in the top sector: Do multijets help?
(American Physical Society, 2019-02-15)Many studies of possible new physics employ effective field theory (EFT), whereby corrections to the Standard Model take the form of higher-dimensional operators, suppressed by a large energy scale. Fits of such a theory ... -
The Hyper-Kamiokande Experiment
(IOP Publishing, 2017)The Hyper-Kamiokande experiment is a next generation underground water Cherenkov detector, based on the highly successful Super-Kamiokande experiment. It will serve as a far detector of a long baseline neutrino experiment ... -
Search for an Excess of Events in the Super-Kamiokande Detector in the Directions of the Astrophysical Neutrinos Reported by the IceCube Collaboration
(IOP Publishing, 2017-12-01)We present the results of a search in the Super-Kamiokande (SK) detector for excesses of neutrinos with energies above a few GeV that are in the direction of the track events reported in IceCube. Data from all SK phases ... -
Study of the process e(+)e(-) -> pi(+)pi(-)eta using initial state radiation
(American Physical Society, 2018-03-21)We study the process e + e − → π + π − η γ , where the photon is radiated from the initial state. About 8000 fully reconstructed events of this process are selected from the BABAR data sample with an integrated ... -
Atmospheric neutrino oscillation analysis with external constraints in Super-Kamiokande I-IV
(American Physical Society, 2018-04-03)An analysis of atmospheric neutrino data from all four run periods of Super-Kamiokande optimized for sensitivity to the neutrino mass hierarchy is presented. Confidence intervals for Δ m 2 32 , sin 2 θ 23 , ... -
Search for Neutrinos in Super-Kamiokande Associated with the GW170817 Neutron-star Merger
(IOP Publishing, 2018-04-10)We report the results of a neutrino search in Super-Kamiokande (SK) for coincident signals with the first detected gravitational wave (GW) produced by a binary neutron-star merger, GW170817, which was followed by a short ...
