The transverse-momentum spectrum of Higgs bosons near threshold at NNLO
We give next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) predictions for the Higgs
production cross section at large transverse momentum in the threshold limit.
Near the partonic threshold, all radiation is either soft or collinear to the
final state jet which recoils against the Higgs boson. We find that the real
emission corrections are of moderate size, but that the virtual corrections are
large. We discuss the origin of these corrections and give numerical
predictions for the transverse-momentum spectrum. The threshold result is
matched to the known NLO result and implemented in the public code PeTeR.Comment: 17 pages, 9 Figures; v2: journal version, correction in the qg

Transverse-momentum spectra of electroweak bosons near threshold at NNLO
We obtain the next-to-next-to-leading order corrections to
transverse-momentum spectra of W, Z and Higgs bosons near the partonic
threshold. In the threshold limit, the electroweak boson recoils against a
low-mass jet and all radiation is either soft, or collinear to the jet or the
beam directions. We extract the virtual corrections from known results for the
relevant two-loop four-point amplitudes and combine them with the soft and
collinear two-loop functions as defined in Soft-Collinear Effective Theory. We
have implemented these results in a public code PeTeR and present numerical
results for the threshold resummed cross section of W and Z bosons at
next-to-next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, matched to
next-to-leading fixed-order perturbation theory. The two-loop corrections lead
to a moderate increase in the cross section and reduce the scale uncertainty by
about a factor of two. The corrections are significantly larger for Higgs
production.Comment: 33 pages, 3 figures; v2: journal version, correction in (73); v3:

2018 Annual Report of the work in IMSA’s Archives
The IMSA Archives, housed in the Leto M. Furnas Information Resource Center, serves to collect and preserve materials relating to the history and ethos of the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy. The Archives includes both special and general collections with materials about IMSA’s establishment, led by Dr. Leon Lederman and Governor James Thompson. There are materials about the Academy\u27s opening in the fall of 1986 and its development since, as well as about its ideas and programs and how they evolved. We have sample curricula, presidential speeches, samples of student work, as well as material about and from partnership programs for educators and schools. We have both student and institutional publications and we have a great deal of iconographic material ranging from posters to snapshots. All of the materials illuminate the lives of IMSA’s students, alumni/ae, faculty and staff on campus and out in the wide, wide world

2017 Annual Report of the work in IMSA’s Archives
The IMSA Archives, housed in the Leto M. Furnas Information Resource Center, serves to collect and preserve materials relating to the history and ethos of the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy and the activities of its students, faculty and staff. Our collection includes materials about IMSA’s establishment, led by Dr. Leon Lederman and Governor James Thompson; the Academy\u27s development since 1986; its ideas and programs; partnership programs for educators and schools state- and nationwide; and the lives of its students, alumni, and staff
2016 Annual Report of the work in IMSA’s Archives
This year the focus of the Archives has been on further developing several collections and making them available on Digital Commons [DC], work that has been made possible by the expertise and creativity of Jean Bigger and her work on DC. In addition work has continued to strengthen collections in general, to build new collections, and to make the Archives more accessible to administration, students, faculty, staff, students, and alumni, as well as to others in Illinois, USA and the world. To that end the volunteer staff set four sets of goals for the year, which are set out below along with an assessment of accomplishments and a look to the future
Simplified placement and management of cutting setons in the treatment of transsphincteric anal fistula: technical note
Background: We report one safe and standardized technique of seton placement and management. Conclusions: A simplified way to manage cutting setons helps to minimize manipulation and may reduce pain. In most patients our technique can be used with no additional anesthesia and in an outpatient settin
