A precise determination of the W boson mass at the Fermilab Tevatron requires a theoretical calculation in which the effects of the initial-state multiple soft-gluon emission and the final-state photonic correction are simultaneously included. Here, we present such a calculation and discuss its prediction on the transverse mass distribution of the W boson and the transverse momentum distribution of its decay charged lepton, which are the most relevant observables for measuring the W boson mass at hadron colliders.

Measurement of multidifferential cross sections for dijet production in proton-proton collisions at .
Eur Phys J C Part Fields
January 2025
A measurement of the dijet production cross section is reported based on proton-proton collision data collected in 2016 at by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to 36.3 . Jets are reconstructed with the anti- algorithm for distance parameters of and 0.

A search for light long-lived particles decaying to displaced jets is presented, using a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13.6 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 34.7 fb$^{-1}$, collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in 2022.

Article Synopsis
- This letter proposes a new method for identifying confining dark sectors at the LHC through the detection of semi-visible jets resulting from collisions involving dark quarks from a hidden sector.
- It explains how these semi-visible jets can produce non-isolated photons and stable/unstable dark bound states, which may not align with current search strategies at the LHC.
- The authors suggest using a deep neural network to differentiate these exotic jets from background noise by analyzing their unique substructure, allowing for potential discoveries of heavy bosons with masses up to 5 TeV using data from the LHC's Run 2.
Theory-Driven Evolution of the Weak Mixing Angle.
Phys Rev Lett

Department of Theoretical Physics, CERN, 1211 Geneva 23, Switzerland.
We present the first purely theoretical calculation of the weak mixing angle in the MS[over ¯] scheme at low energies by combining results from lattice QCD with perturbation theory. We discuss its correlation with the hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon and to the energy dependence of the electromagnetic coupling. We also compare the results with calculations using cross-section data as input.

We investigate a trapped mixture of Bose-Einstein condensates consisting of a multiple number of P species. To be able to do so, an exactly solvable many-body model is called into play. This is the P-species harmonic-interaction model.
