Detection of hot electrons originating from an upper valley at ∼1.7eV above the Γ valley in wurtzite GaN using electron emission spectroscopy
Using electron emission spectroscopy, measurement and analysis were conducted on the energy distribution of vacuum emitted electrons from electrically driven InGaN/GaN green (peak wavelengths 𝜆 ≈ 515nm) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with and without a prewell superlattice (SL). Here, we report on the detection of a high-energy upper valley at ∼ 1.7eV above the Γ valley from samples with no prewell SL. We propose that these upper valley electrons originate predominantly from trap-assisted Auger recombination (TAAR) in green LEDs, as the intensity of these peaks is found to have quadratic dependence on the carrier density 𝑛 [see Espenlaub et al., J. Appl. Phys. 126, 184502 (2019)]. The high-energy upper valley peak was not observed in the sample with a prewell SL which is attributed to gettering by the prewell SL of still unidentified impurities that act as TAAR centers.

High Multiplicity Searches at the LHC Using Jet Masses
This article introduces a new class of searches for physics beyond the Standard Model that improves the sensitivity to signals with high jet multiplicity. The proposed searches gain access to high multiplicity signals by reclustering events into large-radius, or 'fat', jets and by requiring that each event has multiple massive jets. This technique is applied to supersymmetric scenarios in which gluinos are pair-produced and then subsequently decay to final states with either moderate quantities of missing energy or final states without missing energy. In each of these scenarios, the use of jet mass improves the estimated reach in gluino mass by 20% to 50% over current LHC searches.
Precise measurement of the branching fractions for B s 0 → D s ( * ) + D s ( * ) - and first measurement of the D s * + D s * - polarization using e + e - collisions
We have made a precise measurement of the absolute branching fractions of B$0\atop{s}$→D$(*)\atop{s}$ + D$(*)\atop{s}$ - decays using 121.4 fb -1 of data recorded by the Belle experiment running at the Υ(5S) resonance.
Correlated, precision measurements of θ 23 and δ using only the electron neutrino appearance experiments
Precision measurement of the leptonic CP violating phase δ will suffer from the, then surviving, large uncertainty of sin 2 θ 23 of 10–20% in the experimentally interesting region near maximal mixing of θ 23 . We advocate a new method for determination of both θ 23 and δ at the same time using only the ν e and ν̄ e appearance channels and show that sin 2 θ 23 can be determined automatically with much higher accuracy, approximately a factor of six, than sinδ. In this method, we identify a new degeneracy for the simultaneous determination of θ 23 and δ, the θ 23 intrinsic degeneracy, which must be resolved in order to achieve precision measurement of these two parameters. Spectral information around the vacuum oscillation maxima is shown to be the best way to resolve this degeneracy.
Search for microscopic black holes in a like-sign dimuon final state using large track multiplicity with the ATLAS detector
A search is presented for microscopic black holes in a like-sign dimuon final state in proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s}$=8 TeV. The data were collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb -1 . Using a high track multiplicity requirement, 0.6±0.2 background events from Standard Model processes are predicted and none observed. This result is interpreted in the context of low-scale gravity models and 95% C.L. lower limits on microscopic black hole masses are set for different model assumptions.

Measurement of D 0 - D ¯ 0 mixing and search for indirect C P violation using D 0 → K S 0 π + π - decays
Here, we report a measurement of D 0 - D ¯ 0 mixing parameters and a search for indirect C P violation through a time-dependent amplitude analysis of D 0 → K S 0 π + π - decays. The results are based on 921 fb - 1 of data accumulated with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e + e - collider. Assuming C P conservation, we measure the mixing parameters x = ( 0.56 ± 0.19 - 0.09 - 0.09 + 0.03 + 0.06 ) % and y = ( 0.30 ± 0.15 - 0.05 - 0.06 + 0.04 + 0.03 ) % , where the errors are statistical, experimental systematic, and systematic due to the amplitude model, respectively. Lastly, with C P violation allowed, the parameters | q / p | = 0.90 - 0.15 - 0.04 - 0.05 + 0.16 + 0.05 + 0.06 and arg ( q / p ) = ( - 6 ± 11 ± 3 - 4 + 3 ) ° are found to be consistent with conservation of C P symmetry in mixing and in the interference between mixing and decay, respectively.
Usefulness of effective field theory for boosted Higgs production
The Higgs + jet channel at the LHC is sensitive to the effects of new physics both in the total rate and in the transverse momentum distribution at high pT . We examine the production process using an effective field theory (EFT) language and discussing the possibility of determining the nature of the underlying high-scale physics from boosted Higgs production. The effects of heavy color triplet scalars and top partner fermions with TeV scale masses are considered as examples and Higgs-gluon couplings of dimension-5 and dimension-7 are included in the EFT. As a byproduct of our study, we examine the region of validity of the EFT. Dimension-7 contributions in realistic new physics models give effects in the high pT tail of the Higgs signal which are so tiny that they are likely to be unobservable.
Measurement of the correlation between the polar angles of leptons from top quark decays in the helicity basis at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV using the ATLAS detector
A measurement of the correlations between the polar angles of leptons from the decay of pair-produced t and $\bar{t}$ quarks in the helicity basis is reported, using proton-proton collision data collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb$^{-1}$ at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV collected during 2011. Candidate events are selected in the dilepton topology with large missing transverse momentum and at least two jets. The angles θ$_1$ and θ$_2$ between the charged leptons and the direction of motion of the parent quarks in the $t\bar{t}$ rest frame are sensitive to the spin information, and the distribution of cosθ$_1$ ∙ cosθ$_2$ is sensitive to the spin correlation between the t and $\bar{t}$ quarks. The distribution is unfolded to parton level and compared to the next-to-leading order prediction. A good agreement is observed.
Search for new phenomena in final states with an energetic jet and large missing transverse momentum in p p collisions at s = 13 TeV using the ATLAS detector
We report results of a search for new phenomena in final states with an energetic jet and large missing transverse momentum. The search uses proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb $-$1 at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV collected in 2015 with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Events are required to have at least one jet with a transverse momentum above 250 GeV and no leptons. Several signal regions are considered with increasing missing-transverse-momentum requirements between E$miss\atop{T}$ > 250 GeV and E$miss\atop{T}$ > 700 GeV . Good agreement is observed between the number of events in data and Standard Model predictions. The results are translated into exclusion limits in models with large extra spatial dimensions, pair production of weakly interacting dark-matter candidates, and the production of supersymmetric particles in several compressed scenarios.
Improving LHC searches for dark photons using lepton-jet substructure
Collider signals of dark photons are an exciting probe for new gauge forces and are characterized by events with boosted lepton jets. Existing techniques are efficient in searching for muonic lepton jets but due to substantial backgrounds have difficulty constraining lepton jets containing only electrons. This is unfortunate since upcoming intensity frontier experiments are sensitive to dark photon masses which only allow electron decays. Analyzing a recently proposed model of kinetic mixing, with new scalar particles decaying into dark photons, we find that existing techniques for electron jets can be substantially improved. We show that using lepton-jet-substructure variables, in association with a boosted decision tree, improves background rejection, significantly increasing the LHC’s reach for dark photons in this region of parameter space.
