Search for dark matter produced in association with one or two top quarks in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{\text{s}}$ = 13 TeV

A search is performed for dark matter (DM) produced in association with a single top quark or a pair of top quarks using the data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to 138 fb −1 of integrated luminosity. An excess of events with a large imbalance of transverse momentum is searched for across 0, 1 and 2 lepton final states. Novel multivariate techniques are used to take advantage of the differences in kinematic properties between the two DM production mechanisms. No significant deviations with respect to the standard model predictions are observed. The results are interpreted considering a simplified model in which the mediator is either a scalar or pseudoscalar particle and couples to top quarks and to DM fermions. Axion-like particles that are coupled to top quarks and DM fermions are also considered. Expected exclusion limits of 410 and 380 GeV for scalar and pseudoscalar mediator masses, respectively, are set at the 95% confidence level. A DM particle mass of 1 GeV is assumed, with mediator couplings to fermions and DM particles set to unity. A small signal-like excess is observed in data, with the largest local significance observed to be 1.9 standard deviations for the 150 GeV pseudoscalar mediator hypothesis. Because of this excess, mediator masses are only excluded below 310 (320) GeV for the scalar (pseudoscalar) mediator. The results are also translated into model-independent 95% confidence level upper limits on the visible cross section of DM production in association with top quarks, ranging from 1 pb to 0.02 pb.

Dielectron production in proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s}=7 $ TeV

The first measurement of e + e - pair production at mid-rapidity (|η e | < 0.8) in pp collisions at s√=7 TeV with ALICE at the LHC is presented. The dielectron production is studied as a function of the invariant mass (m ee < 3.3 GeV/c 2 ), the pair transverse momentum (pT, ee < 8 GeV/c), and the pair transverse impact parameter (DCA ee ), i.e., the average distance of closest approach of the reconstructed electron and positron tracks to the collision vertex, normalised to its resolution. The results are compared with the expectations from a cocktail of known hadronic sources and are well described when PYTHIA is used to generate the heavy-flavour contributions. In the low-mass region (0.14 < m ee < 1.1 GeV/c2), prompt and non-prompt e + e - sources can be separated via the DCA ee . In the intermediate-mass region (1.1 < m ee < 2.7 GeV/c 2 ), a double-differential fit to the data in m ee and pT, ee and a fit of the DCA ee distribution allow the total $c\overline{c}$ and $b\overline{b}$ cross sections to be extracted. Two different event generators, PYTHIA and POWHEG, can reproduce the shape of the two-dimensional mee and pT,ee spectra, as well as the shape of the DCA ee distribution, reasonably well. However, differences in the cc and bb cross sections are observed when using the generators to extrapolate to full phase space. Finally, the ratio of inclusive to decay photons is studied via the measurement of virtual direct photons in the transverse-momentum range 1 < pT < 8 GeV/c. This is found to be unity within the statistical and systematic uncertainties and consistent with expectations from next-to-leading order perturbative quantum chromodynamic calculations.

Transverse momentum spectra and nuclear modification factors of charged particles in pp, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC

We report the measured transverse momentum ($p_T$) spectra of primary charged particles from pp, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}$$_{NN}$ = 5.02 TeV in the kinematic range of 0.15 < $p_T$ < 50 GeV/$c$ and |$η$| < 0.8. A significant improvement of systematic uncertainties motivated the reanalysis of data in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s}$$_{NN}$ = 2.76 TeV, as well as in p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s}$$_{NN}$ = 5.02 TeV, which is also presented. Spectra from Pb-Pb collisions are presented in nine centrality intervals and are compared to a reference spectrum from pp collisions scaled by the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions. For central collisions, the $p_T$ spectra are suppressed by more than a factor of 7 around 6–7 GeV/$c$ with a significant reduction in suppression towards higher momenta up to 30 GeV/$c$. The nuclear modification factor $R_p$Pb, constructed from the pp and p-Pb spectra measured at the same collision energy, is consistent with unity above 8 GeV/$c$. While the spectra in both pp and Pb-Pb collisions are substantially harder at $\sqrt{s}$$_{NN}$ = 5.02 TeV compared to 2.76 TeV, the nuclear modification factors show no significant collision energy dependence. The obtained results should provide further constraints on the parton energy loss calculations to determine the transport properties of the hot and dense QCD matter.

Nonperturbative corrections to soft drop jet mass

We provide a quantum field theory based description of the nonperturbative effects from hadronization for soft drop groomed jet mass distributions using the soft-collinear effective theory and the coherent branching formalism. There are two distinct regions of jet mass m J where grooming modifies hadronization effects. In a region with intermediate m J an operator expansion can be used, and the leading power corrections are given by three universal nonperturbative parameters that are independent of all kinematic variables and grooming parameters, and only depend on whether the parton initiating the jet is a quark or gluon. The leading power corrections in this region cannot be described by a standard normalized shape function. These power corrections depend on the kinematics of the subjet that stops soft drop through short distance coefficients, which encode a perturbatively calculable dependence on the jet transverse momentum, jet rapidity, and on the soft drop grooming parameters z cut and β. Determining this dependence requires a resummation of large logarithms, which we carry out at LL order. For smaller m J there is a nonperturbative region described by a one-dimensional shape function that is unusual because it is not normalized to unity, and has a non-trivial dependence on β.

Measurement of prompt D 0 , D + , D *+ , and DS+$ {\mathrm{D}}_{\mathrm{S}}^{+} $ production in p–Pb collisions at sNN$ \sqrt{{\mathrm{s}}_{\mathrm{NN}}} $ = 5.02 TeV

The measurement of the production of prompt D 0 , D + , D *+, and $D_S^+$ mesons in proton–lead (p–Pb) collisions at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of \mathrm{\sqrt{s_{NN}}}$ = 5.02 TeV, with an integrated luminosity of 292 ± 11 μb -1 , are reported. Differential production cross sections are measured at mid-rapidity (-96 < y cms < 0.04) as a function of transverse momentum (p T ) in the intervals 0 < p T < 36 GeV/c for D 0 , 1 < p T < 36 GeV/c for D + and D *+ , and 2 < p T < 24 GeV/c for D + mesons. For each species, the nuclear modification factor R pPb is calculated as a function of p T using a proton-proton (pp) reference measured at the same collision energy. The results are compatible with unity in the whole p T range. The average of the non-strange D mesons R pPb is compared with theoretical model predictions that include initial-state effects and parton transport model predictions. The p T dependence of the D 0 , D + , and D *+ nuclear modification factors is also reported in the interval 1 < p T < 36 GeV/c as a function of the collision centrality, and the central-to-peripheral ratios are computed from the D-meson yields measured in different centrality classes. The results are further compared with charged-particle measurements and a similar trend is observed in all the centrality classes. The ratios of the p T -differential cross sections of D 0 , D + , D *+ , and $D_S^+$ mesons are also reported. The $D_S^+$ and D + yields are compared as a function of the charged-particle multiplicity for several p T intervals. No modification in the relative abundances of the four species is observed with respect to pp collisions within the statistical and systematic uncertainties.

Effective Field Theory for the perturbations of a slowly rotating black hole

We develop the effective theory for perturbations around black holes with scalar hair, in two directions. First, we show that the scalar-Gauss-Bonnet theory, often used as an example exhibiting scalar black hole hair, can be deformed by galileon operators leading to order unity changes to its predictions. The effective theory for perturbations thus provides an efficient framework for describing and constraining broad classes of scalar-tensor theories, of which the addition of galileon operators is an example. Second, we extend the effective theory to perturbations around an axisymmetric, slowly rotating black hole, at linear order in the black hole spin. We also discuss the inclusion of parity-breaking operators in the effective theory.

Measurement of beauty production via non-prompt D 0 mesons in Pb-Pb collisions at $ \sqrt{{\textrm{s}}_{\textrm{NN}}} $ = 5.02 TeV

The production of non-prompt D 0 mesons from beauty-hadron decays was measured at midrapidity (|y| < 0.5) in Pb-Pb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$= 5.02 TeV with the ALICE experiment at the LHC. Their nuclear modification factor (R AA ), measured for the first time down to p T = 1 GeV/c in the 0–10% and 30–50% centrality classes, indicates a significant suppression, up to a factor of about three, for p T > 5 GeV/c in the 0–10% central Pb-Pb collisions. The data are described by models that include both collisional and radiative processes in the calculation of beauty-quark energy loss in the quark-gluon plasma, and quark recombination in addition to fragmentation as a hadronisation mechanism. The ratio of the non-prompt to prompt D 0 -meson R AA is larger than unity for p T > 4 GeV/c in the 0–10% central Pb-Pb collisions, as predicted by models in which beauty quarks lose less energy than charm quarks in the quark-gluon plasma because of their larger mass.

Separation of infrared and bulk in thermal QCD

A new thermal regime of QCD, featuring decoupled scale-invariant infrared glue, has been proposed to exist both in pure-glue (N f =0) and “real-world” (N f =2+1 at physical quark masses) QCD. In this IR phase, elementary degrees of freedom flood the infrared, forming a distinct component independent from the bulk. This behavior necessitates non-analyticities in the theory. In pure-glue QCD, such non-analyticities have been shown to arise via Anderson-like mobility edges in Dirac spectra (λ IR = 0, ±λ A ≠ 0), as manifested in the dimension function d IR (λ). Here, we present the first evidence, based on lattice QCD calculation at a=0.105 fm, that this mechanism is also at work in real-world QCD, thus supporting the existence of the proposed IR regime in nature. An important aspect of our results is that, while at T = 234 MeV we find a dimensional jump between zero modes and lowest near-zero modes very close to unity (d IR = 3 to d IR ≃ 2), similar to the IR phase of pure-glue QCD, at T = 187 MeV we observe a continuous λ-dependence. This suggests that thermal states just above the chiral crossover are non-analytically (in T) connected to thermal state at T = 234 MeV, supporting the key original proposition that the transition into the IR regime occurs at a temperature strictly above the chiral crossover.

Explosion-induced ignition and combustion of acetylene clouds

We investigate the explosion-induced ignition and combustion of an acetylene cloud in a rectangular chamber (10 cm × 10 cm × 39 cm). In the experiments, a 0.2-g PETN charge was located at $x = 9.7\,\hbox {cm}$ and a soap bubble (d=5cm) filled with pure acetylene was located at $x = 27\,\hbox {cm}$ as measured relative to the end wall. Detonation of the charge created a blast wave that crushed the soap bubble—inducing mixing with the air. After 0.55 ms, the mixture ignited, forming at turbulent combustion cloud. The flow was modeled using the compressible Navier–Stokes equations assuming unity Lewis number. Arrhenius-based kinetics were used to model ignition. Adaptive mesh refinement was used to capture turbulent mixing on the grid (the MILES approach of J. Boris). Computed pressures were found to be in agreement with measured pressure histories. Finite-rate kinetics were required to capture the ignition processes over the duration of the experiment.

Effects of Turbulence and Temperature Fluctuations on Knock Development in an Ethanol/Air Mixture

The effects of turbulence on knock development and intensity for a thermally inhomogeneous stoichiometric ethanol/air mixture at a representative end-gas autoignition condition in internal combustion engines are investigated using direct numerical simulations with a skeletal reaction mechanism. Two- and three-dimensional simulations are performed by varying the most energetic length scale of temperature, $l_T$ , and its relative ratio with the most energetic length scale of turbulence, $l_T/l_e$ , together with two different levels of the turbulent velocity fluctuation, $u'$ . It is found that $l_T$ / $l_e$ and the ratio of ignition delay time to eddy-turnover time, $\tau _{ig}/\tau _t$ , are the key parameters that control the detonation development. An increase in either $l_T$ or $l_e$ enhances the detonation propensity by allowing a longer run-up distance for the detonation development. The characteristic length scale of the temperature field, $l_T$ , is significantly modified by high turbulence intensity achieved by a large $l_e$ and $u'$ . The intense turbulence mixing effectively distributes the initial temperature field to broader scales to support the developing detonation waves, thereby increasing the likelihood of the detonation formation. On the contrary, high turbulence intensity with a short mixing time scale, achieved by a small $l_e$ and a large $u'$ , reduces the super-knock intensity attributed to the finer broken-up structures of detonation waves. Either $\tau _{ig}/\tau _t$ less than unity or $l_e = l_T$ even with a large $u'$ is found to have no significant effect on super-knock mitigation. Finally, high turbulent intensity may induce high-pressure spikes comparable to the von Neumann spike. Overall, increased temperature and pressure by combustion heating, noticeably after the peak of heat release rate, significantly enhance the collision and interaction of multiple emerging autoignition fronts near the ending combustion process, resulting in localized high-pressure spikes.

Equilibrium Properties of the Mixed State in Superconducting Niobium in a Transverse Magnetic Field: Experiment and Theoretical Model

Equilibrium magnetic properties of the mixed state in type II superconductors were studied on high-purity film and single-crystal niobium samples with different Ginzburg-Landau parameters in perpendicular and parallel magnetic fields using dc magnetometry and scanning Hall-probe microscopy. The magnetization curve for samples with unity demagnetizing factor (slabs in perpendicular field) was obtained for the first time. It was found that none of the existing theories is consistent with these new data. To address this problem, a theoretical model is developed and comprehensively validated. The new model describes the mixed state in an averaged limit, i.e., without detailing the samples’ magnetic structure and therefore ignoring the surface current and interactions between the structural units (vortices). At low values of the Ginzburg-Landau parameter, it converts to the model of Peierls and London for the intermediate state in type I superconductors. The model quantitatively describes the magnetization curve for the perpendicular field and provides new insights into the properties of the mixed state, including properties of individual vortices. In particular, it suggests that description of the vortex matter in superconductors of the transverse geometry as a “gas-like” system of non-interacting vortices is more appropriate than the frequently used solid-like scenarios.

Oxide Solubility Minimum in Liquid Fe-M-O Alloy

The origin of the solubility minimum of oxide (M{sub x}O{sub y}) in liquid Fe-M-O alloy was investigated, and the minimum was predicted based on thermodynamic calculations. Due to the characteristic property of activities of M and O in the liquid, a maximum exists in the product between the two activities if the affinity of M to O is significantly high, as most deoxidizing elements are. A critical activity product is defined, which is an indicator of the solubility minimum of the M{sub x}O{sub y} in the liquid Fe-M-O alloy according to the following relationship: max(a{sub M}{sup x}×a{sub O{sub -}{sup y}})=K{sub M{sub xO{sub y}}}×a{sub M{sub xO{sub y}}}, where the a{sub M{sub xO{sub y}}} is unity if the alloy is in equilibrium with the pure M{sub x}O{sub y}. The origin of the solubility minimum was explained using the change of the activity product by composition. Available CALPHAD assessments for several binary Fe-M liquid alloys and Wagner’s solvation shell model were combined to calculate the activity product in the Fe-M-O alloy, which can be used to predict the solubility minimum of M{sub x}O{sub y}. A favorable agreement was obtained when M=Al, B, Cr, Mn, Nb, Si, Ta, Ti, V, and Zr. The Gibbs energy of dissolution of O in pure liquid M (Δg{sub O{sub -(M)}{sup ∘}}) and the Gibbs energy of the formation of M{sub x}O{sub y} per mole of atoms (Δg{sub M{sub xO{sub y}{sup ∘}}}/(x+y)) play important roles in determining the solubility minimum, as long as an interaction between Fe and M is less significant than the interaction between metal (Fe and M) and O. Predictions of the solubility minima of CaO and MgO were not satisfactory, requiring further improvement of the present analysis.

Saturation Velocity Measurement of Al 0.7 Ga 0.3 N-Channel High Electron Mobility Transistors

Gate length dependent (80 nm–5000 mm) radio frequency measurements to extract saturation velocity are reported for Al 0.85 Ga 0.15 N/Al 0.7 Ga 0.3 N high electron mobility transistors fabricated into radio frequency devices using electron beam lithography. Direct current characterization revealed the threshold voltage shifting positively with increasing gate length, with devices changing from depletion mode to enhancement mode when the gate length was greater than or equal to 450 nm. Transconductance varied from 10 mS/mm to 25 mS/mm, with the 450 nm device having the highest values. Maximum drain current density was 268 mA/mm at 10 V gate bias. Scattering-parameter characterization revealed a maximum unity gain bandwidth ($f_T$) of 28 GHz, achieved by the 80 nm gate length device. A saturation velocity value of 3.8 × 10 6 cm/s, or 35% of the maximum saturation velocity reported for GaN, was extracted from the $f_T$ measurements

Screening of the Suzuki Cross-Coupling Reaction Using Desorption Electrospray Ionization in High-Throughput and in Leidenfrost Droplet Experiments

Suzuki cross-coupling is a widely performed reaction, typically using metal catalysts under heated conditions. Acceleration of the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction has been previously explored in microdroplets using desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS). Building upon previous work, presented here is the use of a high-throughput DESI-MS screening system to identify optimal reaction conditions. Multiple reagents, bases, and stoichiometries were screened using the automated system at rates that approach 10,000 reaction mixture systems per hour. The DESI-MS system utilizes reaction acceleration in microdroplets to allow rapid screening. The results of screening of an array of reaction mixtures using this technique are presented as product ion images via standard MS imaging software, facilitating quick readout. Instructive comparisons are provided with another method of generating droplets for reaction acceleration—the Leidenfrost technique. Acceleration factors greater than 200 were measured for brominated substrates, paralleling the DESI-MS results. Acceleration factors dropped to near unity with highly substituted pyridines, attributable to a steric effect. The reaction proceeded in the absence of a base in Leidenfrost droplets although no product formation was seen without base in the bulk or in the DESI-MS screening experiments. These differences between Leidenfrost chemistry and the bulk and in droplets formed in high-throughput DESI are tentatively attributed to extremes of pH associated with the surfaces of Leidenfrost droplets. .

Global properties and bifurcation analysis of an HIV-1 infection model with two target cells

In this paper, the authors consider a four-compartmental HIV epidemiological model, which describes the interaction between HIV virus and two target cells, CD4 T cells and macrophages in vivo. It is proved that the bilinear incidence can cause the backward bifurcation, where a locally asymptotically stable disease-free equilibrium co-exists with a locally asymptotically stable endemic equilibrium when the basic reproduction number (R{sub 0}) is less than unity. It is shown that a sequence of Hopf bifurcations occur at the endemic equilibrium by choosing one parameter of the model as the bifurcation parameter. Meanwhile, the global asymptotic stabilities of the equilibria are established by constructing suitable Lyapunov functions under some conditions. Furthermore, the authors develop an extended model by incorporating with the intracellular delays and derive global asymptotic stability of the delayed model by constructing Lyapunov functions. Some numerical simulations for justifying the theoretical analysis results are also given.

Microparticle impact-bonding modes for mismatched metals: From co-deformation to splatting and penetration

In this paper we present a comprehensive experimental campaign of high-velocity microparticle impacts with different combinations of particle and substrate materials to identify possible deformation regimes. Based on experimental observations of the impact sites, we identify three typical modes of behavior, namely, splatting, co-deformation, and penetration. We develop a theoretical framework to predict the operative bonding regime for a given particle/substrate combination, ranging from splatting and penetration at two extremes of a spectrum, and co-deformation in the center. We propose an impact ratio based on the materials’ properties, which can successfully quantify the spectrum. Co-deformation is expected when the ratio is around unity, while much larger or smaller ratios give rise to penetration and splatting, respectively.

Merging flux-variance with surface renewal methods in the roughness sublayer and the atmospheric surface layer

In this article, Two micrometeorological methods utilizing high-frequency sampled air temperature were tested against eddy covariance (EC) sensible heat flux (𝐻) measurements at three sites representing agricultural, agro-forestry, and forestry systems. The two methods cover conventional and newly proposed forms of the flux-variance (FV) and surface renewal (SR) schemes of differing complexities. The sites represent measurements in surface, roughness, and roughness to surface transitional layers. Regression analyzes against EC show that the most reliable FV and SR forms estimate 𝐻 with slopes within ±10% from unity and coefficient of determination 𝑅2 > 0.9 across all the three sites. The best performance of both FV and SR was found at the agricultural site with measurements well within the surface layer, while the worst was found for the tall forest with measurements within the roughness sublayer where its thickness needed to be additionally estimated. The main variable driving 𝐻 in FV is the temperature variance, whereas in SR, it is the geometry of ramp-like structures. Since these structures are also responsible for most of the temperature variance, a novel FV-SR approach emerging from combining the methods is proposed and evaluated against EC measurements and conventional FV and SR schemes. The proposed FV-SR approach requiring only a single fast response thermocouple is potentially independent of calibration and ameliorates some of the theoretical objections that arise when combining ramp statistics with similarity arguments. The combination of methods also provides new insights into the contribution of coherent structures to the temperature variance and its dependence on atmospheric stratification. Other potential utility of the new method is to include it in multi-tool assessments of surface energy fluxes, since a convergence or divergence of the results has a high diagnostic value.

Efficient continuous Energy-Multigroup hybrid depletion scheme using the Shift Monte Carlo code. Part I: Energy condensation sensitivity analysis

Monte Carlo (MC) codes coupled to depletion solvers are increasingly used to provide high fidelity fuel cycle modeling capabilities. Here, these coupled depletion-MC tools produce accurate results in general but can experience nonphysical spatial oscillations when time steps are large or when a system’s dominance ratio approaches unity. Two substepping techniques have been developed previously to remedy and dampen these spatial oscillations without needing to reduce step sizes. The first approach relied on higher-order techniques to account for spectral changes within steps (extrapolation and interpolation techniques). The second approach used the first order perturbation (FOP) theory to account for the change in the one-group spatial flux distribution within steps. This paper develops a hybrid depletion methodology which, in a way, combines how the flux is handled in both substepping techniques. Specifically, the multigroup (MG) MC Shift code is used to update the flux distribution within steps rather than a one-group FOP solver. A fully reflected pincell is investigated, which is not spatially dependent in the MG representation. Thus, the analysis in this paper is an initial demonstration of hybrid depletion. An upcoming companion paper will focus on how the hybrid depletion dampens spatial oscillations. The hybrid depletion approach is verified to be consistent with previous constant extrapolation depletion (CED) methods. This paper finds that the hybrid CED exhibits some error in the eigenvalue and one group constants within macro steps. To address this discrepancy, a simple interpolation scheme (CELI) is investigated. This work found that CELI sufficiently addresses the discrepancy in spectrum for macro steps up to 100 days. Overall, this work demonstrates that the hybrid depletion method can significantly reduce the number of high fidelity MC executions in a MC-coupled depletion with an acceptable eigenvalue error.
