Electroweak Precision Tests in High-Energy Diboson Processes

A promising avenue to perform precision tests of the SM at the LHC is to measure differential cross-sections at high invariant mass, exploiting in this way the growth with the energy of the corrections induced by heavy new physics. We classify the leading growing-with-energy effects in longitudinal diboson and in associated Higgs production processes, showing that they can be encapsulated in four real "high-energy primary" parameters. We assess the reach on these parameters at the LHC and at future hadronic colliders, focusing in particular on the fully leptonic $WZ$ channel that appears particularly promising. The reach is found to be superior to existing constraints by one order of magnitude, providing a test of the SM electroweak sector at the per-mille level, in competition with LEP bounds. Unlike LHC Run-1 bounds, which only apply to new physics effects that are much larger than the SM in the high-energy tail of the distributions, the probe we study applies to a wider class of new physics scenarios where such large departures are not expected.Comment: 35 pages, 8 Figures, Fig.7 correcte

Didattica generale e valutazione espansa: aspetti epistemologici e metodologici

The article describes three approaches to scholastic evaluation: docimological, formative and organizational. The aim is to link the various forms of evaluation to the curriculum building from the point of view of general teaching, with particular attention to the methodological and epistemological aspects

Didattica generale: dai temi emergenti allo statuto epistemologico

Contemporary teaching is characterized by some emerging themes: skills, metacognition, inclusion. These themes are closely linked and involve the organization of educational learning environments favorable to the development of cognitive and social self-regulation. General teaching has the task of training teachers and managers in this direction. For this reason it presents itself today as a frontier discipline that interacts with epistemology, pedagogy and psychology to link the educational and istructive aspects, studying the relationships between affective and cognitive aspects in curriculum design
