Search for pair production of heavy vector-like quarks decaying into high- p T W bosons and top quarks in the lepton-plus-jets final state in p p collisions at s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

CERN-LHC, ATLAS. Limits on pair production of a heavy vector-like B quark together with its antiparticle, where the B quark decays to a W boson and a top quark. The search is based on 36.1 +\- 0.8 fb^{-1} of pp collisions at sqrt{s} = 13 TeV recorded in 2015 and 2016 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Data are analysed in the lepton plus jets final state, including at least four small jets out of which at least one is required to be b-tagged jet and a large-radius jet. Mass limits on B production are set as a function of the decay branching ratios.

Cross-section measurements of the Higgs boson decaying to a pair of tau leptons in proton--proton collisions at s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

A measurement of total production cross sections of the Higgs boson in proton-proton collisions is presented in the H -> tau tau decay channel. The analysis is performed using 36.1 fb-1 of data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. All combinations of leptonic and hadronic tau decays are considered. The H->tau tau signal over the expected background from other Standard Model processes is established with an observed (expected) significance of 4.4 (4.1) standard deviations. Combined with results using data taken at 7 and 8 TeV centre-of-mass energies, the observed (expected) significance amounts to 6.4 (5.4) standard deviations and constitutes an observation of H->tautau decays by the ATLAS experiment.

$τ$ lepton mass measurement at BESIII

In order to obtain the mass of \boldsymbol{\tau} 𝛕 lepton at BESIII precisely, a beam energy measurement system was built at BEPCII. A scenario for high precision \boldsymbol{\tau} 𝛕 mass measurement was put forth before data taken. More than 130 \boldsymbol{pb^{-1}} 𝐩 𝐛 − 1 \boldsymbol{\tau} 𝛕 mass scan data were collected in April 2018, and the uncertainty of \boldsymbol{m_{\tau}} 𝐦 𝛕 is expected to be less than 100 keV.

Search for $WZ/ZZ$ Production in the Lepton(s) + MET + Jets Channel with the CDF Experiment at the Tevatron Collider

In this thesis we present a search for the WZ and ZZ production in a final state ("W+2 jets") with a leptonically-decaying W and two energetic jets. We use the full dataset ( ∫ Ldt = 8:9 fb -1 ) recorded with the CDF detector at Fermilab. The challenge consists in extracting the small Z-hadronic peak from the large amount of background processes. Those processes also include the WW, whose hadronic peak cannot be distinguished from the Z peak, due to the poor calorimeter resolution. In the past such a signature was used to measure the diboson cross section, which is highly dominated by the WW cross section.

Search for the Standard Model Higgs Boson in Leptons plus Jets Final States

Searches for SM Higgs boson production in the leptons plus jets final states with a data set corresponding to 9.7 fb -1 of $\bar{p}$p collisions at √s = 1.96TeV collected by the DØ Experiment are presented in this thesis. The searches are carried out in two independent analyses, accounting for different signal topologies.

Search for a Standard Model Higgs Boson in the Channel $VH\to VWW$ with Leptons and Hadronic $\tau$ in the Full CDF Run II Data Set

We present the results of the CDF search for a Standard Model Higgs boson decaying into a pair of W bosons with electrons, muons and hadronically decaying taus in the final state. In particular, we investigate a channel with three objects, two leptons and a tau. In 9.7 fb -1 of data we expect 40.0 ± 5.4 background events and 0.54 ± 0.05 signal events for a Higgs mass hypothesis of 160 GeV/c 2 , whereas in data we count 28 events. We set a 95% C.L. upper limit on σ/σSM of 12.6 for a Higgs mass hypothesis of 160 GeV/c 2 . The expected 95% C.L. upper limit for the same mass is 12.4. Results for other ninete 0 GeV/c2 to 200 GeV/c 2 are also presented.

Tau Lepton Physics at a Tau-Charm Factory

A two-day workshop, "The Tau-Charm Factory in the Era of B-factors and CESR," was held at SLAC in August, 1994. This paper summarizes the important research on the tau lepton which could be done at a tau-charm factory in the next decade. It is based on the presentation by the speakers and on the discussions by participants, as well as on published papers.

Charged Lepton Flavour Violation using Intense Muon Beams at Future Facilities

Charged-lepton avour-violating (cLFV) processes offer deep probes for new physics with discovery sensitivity to a broad array of new physics models | SUSY, Higgs Doublets, Extra Dimensions, and, particularly, models explaining the neutrino mass hierarchy and the matterantimatter asymmetry of the universe via leptogenesis. The most sensitive probes of cLFV utilize high-intensity muon beams to search for $\mu \to e$ transitions. We summarize the status of muon-cLFV experiments currently under construction at PSI, Fermilab, and J-PARC. These experiments offer sensitivity to effective new physics mass scales approaching $O (10^4)$ $TeV=c^2$. Further improvements are possible and next-generation experiments, using upgraded accelerator facilities at PSI, Fermilab, and J-PARC, could begin data taking within the next decade. In the case of discoveries at the LHC, they could distinguish among alternative models; even in the absence of direct discoveries, they could establish new physics. These experiments both complement and extend the searches at the LHC.
