Stop the Top Background of the Stop Search
The main background for the supersymmetric stop direct production search
comes from Standard Model ttbar events. For the single-lepton search channel,
we introduce a few kinematic variables to further suppress this background by
focusing on its dileptonic and semileptonic topologies. All are defined to have
end points in the background, but not signal distributions. They can
substantially improve the stop signal significance and mass reach when combined
with traditional kinematic variables such as the total missing transverse
energy. Among them, our variable M^W_T2 has the best overall performance
because it uses all available kinematic information, including the on-shell
mass of both W's. We see 20%-30% improvement on the discovery significance and
estimate that the 8 TeV LHC run with 20 fb-1 of data would be able to reach an
exclusion limit of 650-700 GeV for direct stop production, as long as the stop
decays dominantly to the top quark and a light stable neutralino. Most of the
mass range required for the supersymmetric solution of the naturalness problem
in the standard scenario can be covered.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figure
Europe should stop taxing innovation
In this Policy Brief, Bruegel Senior Fellow Bruno van Pottelsberghe makes the argument in favour of a single EU patent system. The author explains that the absence of a one-stop-shop for EU-wide patents hampers innovation and will pose serious challenges to small and medium-sized companies in the face of global competition. This paper analyses how a uniform patent system can sustain long-term competitiveness and boost growth and thereby achieve EU2020 targets. It makes policy recommendations in four key areas of a single patent system - language, complexity, affordability and governance.
Stop Ducking
When I joined the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, a small voice in my head kept saying that it was a bad idea. “Don’t become part of the system, Stephen.” But I defended my decision and believed in the idea of Phi Kappa Psi returning to campus with a clean slate. The possibilities far outweighed the cons. I dreamt of the potential of what Phi Psi could become and how we would stand above the traditional expectations of Greek organizations. I wanted to tell everyone about this dream and I couldn’t wait to find like-minded people. I felt inspired by how we might define ourselves. [excerpt
