#### Josephson junctions and AdS/CFT networks

We propose a new holographic model of Josephson junctions (and networks thereof) based on designer multi-gravity, namely multi-(super)gravity theories on products of distinct asymptotically AdS spacetimes coupled by mixed boundary conditions. We present a simple model of a Josephson junction (JJ) that reproduces trivially the well-known current-phase sine relation of JJs. In ...

#### A parton shower for High Energy Jets

We present a method to match the multi-parton states generated by the High Energy Jets Monte Carlo with parton showers generated by the Ariadne program using the colour dipole model. The High Energy Jets program already includes a full resummation of soft divergences. Hence, in the matching it is important that the corresponding divergences in the parton shower are subtracted, ...

#### Search for supersymmetry in events with b jets and missing transverse momentum at the LHC

A search for supersymmetry is presented using a sample of events with b jets and missing transverse momentum. The search uses a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35 pb−1, collected with the CMS detector. A total of $0.33_{ - 0.33}^{ + 0.43}$ (stat.) ± 0.13 (syst.) events is predicted, using ...

#### Holographic entanglement entropy in Lovelock gravities

We study entanglement entropies of simply connected surfaces in field theories dual to Lovelock gravities. We consider Gauss-Bonnet and cubic Lovelock gravities in detail. In the conformal case the logarithmic terms in the entanglement entropy are governed by the conformal anomalies of the CFT; we verify that the holographic calculations are consistent with this property. We also ...

#### Heavy octets and Tevatron signals with three or four b jets

Hypothetical color-octet particles of spin 0, pair-produced at hadron colliders through their QCD coupling, may lead to final states involving three or four b jets. The scalar octets may also be resonantly produced in pairs via a spin-1 octet, as we show within a renormalizable coloron model. We analyze kinematic distributions of the 3b final state that differentiate between these ...

#### Neutrino mass and μ → e + γ from a mini-seesaw

The recently proposed “mini-seesaw mechanism” combines naturally suppressed Dirac and Majorana masses to achieve light Standard Model neutrinos via a low-scale seesaw. A key feature of this approach is the presence of multiple light (order GeV) sterile-neutrinos that mix with the Standard Model. In this work we study the bounds on these light sterile-neutrinos from processes like μ ...

#### Search for light resonances decaying into pairs of muons as a signal of new physics

A search for groups of collimated muons is performed using a data sample collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, at a centre-of-mass energy of 7TeV, and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35 pb−1. The analysis searches for production of new low-mass states decaying into pairs of muons and is designed to achieve high sensitivity to a broad range of models predicting ...

#### Seiberg-Witten and “Polyakov-like” magnetic bion confinements are continuously connected

We study four-dimensional $\mathcal{N} = 2$ supersymmetricpure-gauge (Seiberg-Witten) theory and its $\mathcal{N} = 1$ mass perturbation by using compactification on ${\mathbb{S}^1} \times {\mathbb{R}^3}$. It is well known that on ${\mathbb{R}^4}$ (or at large ${\mathbb{S}^1}$ size L) the perturbed theory realizes confinement through monopole or dyon ...

#### Light sneutrino dark matter at the LHC

In supersymmetric (SUSY) models with Dirac neutrino masses, a weak-scale trilinear ${A_{\tilde{\nu }}}$ term that is not proportional to the small neutrino Yukawa couplings can induce a sizable mixing between left and right-handed sneutrinos. The lighters neutrino mass eigenstate can hence become the lightest SUSY particle (LSP) and a viable dark matter candidate. In ...

#### Long-range and short-range dihadron angular correlations in central PbPb collisions at $\sqrt {{{s_{\text{NN}}}}}$ = 2.76 TeV

First measurements of dihadron correlationsfor charged particles are presented for central PbPb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 2.76TeV over a broad range in relative pseudorapidity (∆η) and the full range of relative azimuthal angle (∆ϕ). The data were collected with the CMS detector, at the LHC. A broadening of the away-side (∆ϕ ≈ π) azimuthal correlation ...

#### Flavour physics constraints in the BMSSM

We study the implications of the presence of the two leading-order, non-renormalizable operators in the Higgs sector of the MSSM to flavour physics observables. We identify the constraints of flavour physics on the parameters of the BMSSM when we: a) focus on a region of parameters for which electroweak baryogenesis is feasible, b) use a CMSSM-like parametrization, and c) consider ...

#### Flavour structure of R-violating neutralino decays at the LHC

We study signatures of R-parity violation in the production ofsupersymmetric particles at the LHC, and the subsequent decay of the lightest neutralino being the end product of a supersymmetric cascade decay. In doing so, we pay particular attention to the possible flavour structure of the operators, and how one may discriminate between different possibilities. A neutralino LSP ...

#### The continuum limit of gl(M|N) spin chains

We study the spectrum of an integrable antiferromagnetic Hamiltonian of the gl(M|N) spin chain of alternating fundamental and dual representations. After extensive numerical analysis, we identify the vacuum and low lying excitations and with this knowledge perform the continuum limit, while keeping a finite gap. All antiferromagnetic gl(n + N|N)spin chains with n, N > 0 are shown ...

#### Gauge links for transverse momentum dependent correlators at tree-level

In this paper we discuss the incorporation of gauge links in hadronic matrix elements that describe the soft hadronic physics in high energy scattering processes. In this description the matrix elements appear in soft correlators and they contain non-local combinations of quark and gluon fields. In our description we go beyond the collinear approach in which case also the ...

#### Wall crossing from Boltzmann black hole halos

A key question in the study of $\mathcal{N} = 2$ supersymmetric string or field theories is to understand the decay of BPS bound states across walls of marginal stability in the space of parameters or vacua. By representing the potentially unstable bound states as multi-centered black hole solutions in $\mathcal{N} = 2$ supergravity, we provide two fully general and ...

#### Generalized matrix models and AGT correspondence at all genera

We study generalized matrix models corresponding to n-point Virasoro conformal blocks on Riemann surfaces with arbitrary genus g. Upon AGT correspondence, these describe four dimensional $\mathcal{N} = 2$ SU(2)n+3g−3 gauge theories with generalized quiver diagrams. We obtain the generalized matrix models from the perturbative evaluation of the Liouville correlation functions ...

#### Measurement of the ${{\rm t}\bar{\rm t}}$ production cross section and the top quark mass in the dilepton channel in pp collisions at $\sqrt {s} = 7$ TeV

The ${{\rm t}\bar{\rm t}}$ production cross section and top quark mass are measured in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt {s} = 7$ TeV in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb−1 collected by the CMS experiment. The measurements are performed in events with two leptons (electrons or muons) in the final state. Results of the cross section ...

#### The holographic fluid dual to vacuum Einstein gravity

We present an algorithm for systematically reconstructing a solution of the (d + 2)-dimensional vacuum Einstein equations from a (d + 1)-dimensional fluid, extending the non-relativistic hydrodynamic expansion of Bredberg et al. in arXiv:1101.2451 to arbitrary order. The fluid satisfies equations of motion which are the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, corrected by specific ...

#### Massless particles on supergroups and AdS 3 × S 3 supergravity

Firstly, we study the state space of a massless particle on a supergroup with a reparameterization invariant action. After gauge fixing the reparameterization invariance, we compute the physical state space through the BRST cohomology and show that the quadratic Casimir Hamiltonian becomes diagonalizable in cohomology. We illustrate the general mechanism in detail in the example of ...

#### Lattice QCD without topology barriers

As the continuum limit is approached, lattice QCD simulations tend to get trapped in the topological charge sectors of field space and may consequently give biased results in practice. We propose to bypass this problem by imposing open (Neumann) boundary conditions on the gauge field in the time direction. The topological charge can then flow in and out of the lattice, while many ...

#### ABJM baryon stability and Myers effect

We consider magnetically charged baryon vertex like configurations in AdS 4 × CP 3 with a reduced number of quarks l. We show that these configurations are solutions to the classical equations of motion and are stable beyond a critical value of l. Given that the magnetic flux dissolves D0-brane charge it is possible to give a microscopical description in terms of D0-branes ...

#### Symmetry and mass degeneration in multi-Higgs-doublet models

We investigate possible symmetry properties of the scalar sector of Multi-Higgs-Doublet Models, and, to some extent, the generalization of such models to gauge groups other than SU(2) L × U(1) Y . In models with C (charge conjugation) invariance, and where certain quartic terms are not present, the scalar potential is invariant under a group larger than the gauge group, O(4) when ...

#### Complete resummation of chirally-enhanced loop-effects in the MSSM with non-minimal sources of flavor-violation

In this article we present the complete resummation of the leading chirallyenhanced corrections stemming from gluino-squark, chargino-sfermion and neutralino-sfermion loops in the MSSM with non-minimal sources of flavor-violation. We compute the finite renormalization of fermion masses and the CKM matrix induced by chirality-flipping self-energies. In the decoupling limit M SUSY ≫ ...

#### Vector boson pair production at the LHC

We present phenomenological results for vector boson pair production at the LHC, obtained using the parton-level next-to-leading order program MCFM. We include the implementation of a new process in the code, pp → γγ, and important updates to existing processes. We incorporate fragmentation contributions in order to allow for the experimental isolation of photons in γγ, Wγ, and Zγ ...

#### Light Higgsinos as heralds of higher-dimensional unification

Grand-unified models with extra dimensions at the GUT scale will typically contain exotic states with Standard Model charges and GUT-scale masses. They can act as messengers for gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking. If the number of messengers is sizeable, soft terms for the visible sector fields will be predominantly generated by gauge mediation, while gravity mediation can ...
