Signature of the +jet and dijet production mediated by an excited quark with QCD next-to-leading order accuracy at the LHC
We present a detailed study of the production and decay of the excited quark
at the QCD next-to-leading order (NLO) level at the Large Hadron Collider,
using the narrow width approximation and helicity amplitudes method. We find
that the QCD NLO corrections can tighten the constraints on the model
parameters and reduce the scale dependencies of the total cross sections. We
discuss the signals of the excited quark production with decay mode
and , and present several
important kinematic distributions. Moreover, we give the upper limits of the
excited quark excluded mass range and the allowed parameter space for the
coupling constants and the excited quark mass.Comment: 20 pages, 13 figures; version published in PR
Threshold resummation for the production of a color sextet (antitriplet) scalar at the LHC
We investigate threshold resummation effects in the production of a color
sextet (antitriplet) scalar at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNLL) order
at the LHC in the frame of soft-collinear effective theory. We show the total
cross section and the rapidity distribution with NLO+NNLL accuracy, and we
compare them with the NLO results. Besides, we use recent dijet data at the LHC
to give the constraints on the couplings between the colored scalars and
quarks.Comment: 21 pages,9 figures,3 tables; Version published in EPJ
Holography and noncommutative Yang-Mills theory
Journal ArticleIn this Letter a recently proposed gravity dual of noncommutative Yang-Mills theory is derived from the relations between closed string moduli and open string moduli recently suggested by Seiberg and Witten. The only new input one needs is a simple form of the running string tension as a function of energy. This derivation provides convincing evidence that string theory integrates with the holographical principle and demonstrates a direct link between noncommutative Yang-Mills theory and holography
