From Swampland to Phenomenology and Back

Swampland conjectures are a set of proposed necessary conditions for a low-energy effective field theory to have a UV completion inside a theory of quantum gravity. Swampland conjectures have interesting phenomenological consequences, and conversely phenomenological considerations are useful guidelines in sharping our understanding of quantum gravity.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, contribution to the 2019 EW session of the 54th Rencontres de Moriond, v2: references adde

Remarks on the method of modulus of continuity and the modified dissipative porous media equation

We employ Besov space techniques and the method of modulus of continuity to obtain the global well-posedness of the modified Porous Media Equation.Comment: This is the final version, accepted by JD

Data-driven Estimation of SM Backgrounds for SUSY Searches at the LHC

Searches for supersymmetry (SUSY) are very important tasks at the Large Hadron colleder(LHC). If SUSY exists at the TeV scale, clear excess above the Standard Model (SM) background will be observed. SM background should be estimated from real data self. In this paper, we descrive the strategy for the early SUSY searches at the LHC and focus on the data-driven estimation of the SM background in the early stage of collision.Comment: 4 pages,6 figures, and proceedings of Moriond QCD 200
