CERN LHC signals for a neutrino mass model with bilinear R-parity violating minimal anomaly mediated supersymmetry

We investigate a neutrino mass model in which the neutrino data is accounted for by bilinear R-parity violating supersymmetry with anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking. We focus on the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) phenomenology, studying the reach of generic supersymmetry search channels with leptons, missing energy and jets. A special feature of this model is the existence of long-lived neutralinos and charginos which decay inside the detector leading to detached vertices. We demonstrate that the largest reach is obtained in the displaced vertices channel and that practically all of the reasonable parameter space will be covered with an integrated luminosity of 10 fb(-1). We also compare the displaced vertex reaches of the LHC and Tevatron.

Desplegament dels circuits dedicats de 1 i 10 Gbps entre el PIC i el CERN

Aquest projecte consisteix a realitzar el disseny i desplegament d'una connexió entre el Port d'Informació Científica (PIC) i el Consell Europeu per a la Recerca Nuclear (CERN) sobre un circuit dedicat amb una velocitat de transferència de 10 Gbps. En una primera fase el desplegament de la connexió es realitza sobre un circuit dedicat de 1 Gbps. El projecte implica la certificació dels circuits dedicats de 1 i 10 Gbps i el disseny dels plans d'actuació que han de permetre la integració de les noves connexions dins la xarxa i els serveis del PIC.

Measuring effective electroweak couplings in single top production at the CERN LHC

s out to be more relevant than naively expected, is retained. Finally we analyze different aspects of the total cross section relevant to the measurement of new physics through the effective couplings. The above analysis also applies to top antiquark production in a straightforward way.

Fluid dynamical prediction of changed v1 flow at energies available at the CERN Large Hadron Collider

Substantial collective flow is observed in collisions between lead nuclei at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) as evidenced by the azimuthal correlations in the transverse momentum distributions of the produced particles. Our calculations indicate that the global v1-flow, which at RHIC peaked at negative rapidities (named third flow component or antiflow), now at LHC is going to turn toward forward rapidities (to the same side and direction as the projectile residue). Potentially this can provide a sensitive barometer to estimate the pressure and transport properties of the quark-gluon plasma. Our calculations also take into account the initial state center-of-mass rapidity fluctuations, and demonstrate that these are crucial for v1 simulations. In order to better study the transverse momentum flow dependence we suggest a new "symmetrized" v1S(pt) function, and we also propose a new method to disentangle global v1 flow from the contribution generated by the random fluctuations in the initial state. This will enhance the possibilities of studying the collective Global v1 flow both at the STAR Beam Energy Scan program and at LHC.
