Transverse momentum resummation in soft-collinear effective theory
We present a universal formalism for transverse momentum resummation in the
view of soft-collinear effective theory (SCET), and establish the relation
between our SCET formula and the well known Collins-Soper-Sterman's pQCD
formula at the next-to-leading logarithmic order (NLLO). We also briefly
discuss the reformulation of joint resummation in SCET.Comment: 23 pages, 7 figures; version to appear in Phys. Rev.
Next-to-leading order QCD predictions for associated production of top squarks and charginos at the CERN LHC
We present the calculations of the complete next-to-leading order (NLO)
inclusive total cross sections for the associated production processes in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model at
the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Our calculations show that the total cross
sections for the production for the lighter top
squark masses in the region 100 GeV 160 GeV can reach 1 pb
in the favorable parameter space allowed by the current precise experiments,
and in other cases the total cross sections generally vary from 10 fb to
several hundred fb except both 500 GeV and the
production channel. Moreover, we find that the
NLO QCD corrections in general enhance the leading order total cross sections
significantly, and vastly reduce the dependence of the total cross sections on
the renormalization/factorization scale, which leads to increased confidence in
predictions based on these results.Comment: 42 pages, 13 figures, RevTex4. Journal-ref adde
Resummation prediction on the jet mass spectrum in one-jet inclusive production at the LHC
We study the factorization and resummation prediction on the jet mass
spectrum in one-jet inclusive production at the LHC based on soft-collinear
effective theory. The soft function with anti- algorithm is calculated at
next-to-leading order and its validity is demonstrated by checking the
agreement between the expanded leading singular terms with the exact
fixed-order result. The large logarithms and the global
logarithms in the process are resummed to all order at
next-to-leading logarithmic and next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic level,
respectively. The cross section is enhanced by about 23% from the
next-to-leading logarithmic level to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic level.
Comparing our resummation predictions with those from Monte Carlo tool PYTHIA
and ATLAS data at the 7 TeV LHC, we find that the peak positions of the jet
mass spectra agree with those from PYTHIA at parton level, and the predictions
of the jet mass spectra with non-perturbative effects are in coincidence with
the ATLAS data. We also show the predictions at the future 13 TeV LHC.Comment: 43 pages, 10 figure

From M-ary Query to Bit Query: a new strategy for efficient large-scale RFID identification
The tag collision avoidance has been viewed as one of the most important research problems in RFID communications and bit tracking technology has been widely embedded in query tree (QT) based algorithms to tackle such challenge. Existing solutions show further opportunity to greatly improve the reading performance because collision queries and empty queries are not fully explored. In this paper, a bit query (BQ) strategy based Mary query tree protocol (BQMT) is presented, which can not only eliminate idle queries but also separate collided tags into many small subsets and make full use of the collided bits. To further optimize the reading performance, a modified dual prefixes matching (MDPM) mechanism is presented to allow multiple tags to respond in the same slot and thus significantly reduce the number of queries. Theoretical analysis and simulations are supplemented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed BQMT and MDPM, which outperform the existing QT-based algorithms. Also, the BQMT and MDPM can be combined to BQMDPM to improve the reading performance in system efficiency, total identification time, communication complexity and average energy cost
Spin Correlations in top quark pair production near threshold at the Linear Collider
We investigate the spin correlations in top quark pair production near
threshold at the linear collider. Comparing with the results above
the threshold region, we find that near the threshold region the off-diagonal
basis, the optimized decomposition of the top quark spins above the threshold
region, does not exist, and the beamline basis is the optimal basis, in which
there are the dominant spin components: the up-down (UD) component for scattering and the down-up (DU) component for scattering can
make up more than 50% of the total cross section, respectively.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures, minor modification
via SUSY FCNC couplings in the unconstrained MSSM
We recalculate the branching ratios for () induced by
SUSY FCNC couplings within the general unconstrained MSSM framework using mass
eigenstate approach. Our results show that the branching ratios for these
decays are larger than ones reported in previous literatures in the MSSM with
R-parity conservation, and they can reach , , and
, respectively, for favorable parameter values allowed by current
precise experiments. Thus, the branching ratios for and may be measurable at the LHC.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figures, minor changs in the Table
