The production and decay of the top partner in the left-right twin higgs model at the ILC and CLIC
The left-right twin Higgs model (LRTHM) predicts the existence of the top
partner . In this work, we make a systematic investigation for the single
and pair production of this top partner through the processes:
e^{+}e^{-}\to t\ov{T} + T\bar{t} and T\ov{T}, the neutral scalar (the
SM-like Higgs boson or neutral pseudoscalar boson ) associate
productions e^{+}e^{-}\to t\ov{T}h +T\bar{t}h, T\ov{T}h,
t\ov{T}\phi^{0}+T\bar{t}\phi^{0} and T\ov{T}\phi^{0}. From the numerical
evaluations for the production cross sections and relevant phenomenological
analysis we find that (a) the production rates of these processes, in the
reasonable parameter space, can reach the level of several or tens of fb; (b)
for some cases, the peak value of the resonance production cross section can be
enhanced significantly and reaches to the level of pb; (c) the subsequent decay
of may generate typical phenomenological
features rather different from the signals from other new physics models beyond
the standard model(SM); and (d) since the relevant SM background is generally
not large, some signals of the top partner predicted by the LRTHM may be
detectable in the future ILC and CLIC experiments.Comment: 20pages, 15 figures and 6 Tables. Minor corrections on text. new

Reservoir automatic history matching: Methods, challenges, and future directions
Reservoir history matching refers to the process of continuously adjusting the parameters of the reservoir model, so that its dynamic response will match the historical observation data, which is a prerequisite for making forecasts based on the reservoir model. With the development of optimization theory and machine learning algorithms, automatic history matching has made numerous breakthroughs for practical applications. In this perspective, the existing automatic history matching methods are summarized and divided into model-driven and surrogate-driven history matching methods according to whether the reservoir simulator needs to be run during the automatic history matching process. Then, the basic principles of these methods and their limitations in practical applications are outlined. Finally, the future trends of reservoir automatic history matching are discussed.Cited as: Liu, P., Zhang, K., Yao, J.

Exploring the total Galactic extinction with SDSS BHB stars
Aims: We used 12,530 photometrically-selected blue horizontal branch (BHB)
stars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to estimate the total extinction
of the Milky Way at the high Galactic latitudes, and in each line
of sight. Methods: A Bayesian method was developed to estimate the reddening
values in the given lines of sight. Based on the most likely values of
reddening in multiple colors, we were able to derive the values of and
.
Results: We selected 94 zero-reddened BHB stars from seven globular clusters
as the template. The reddening in the four SDSS colors for the northern
Galactic cap were estimated by comparing the field BHB stars with the template
stars. The accuracy of this estimation is around 0.01\,mag for most lines of
sight. We also obtained to be around 2.40 and map within
an uncertainty of 0.1\,mag. The results, including reddening values in the four
SDSS colors, , and in each line of sight, are released on line. In
this work, we employ an up-to-date parallel technique on GPU card to overcome
time-consuming computations. We plan to release online the C++ CUDA code used
for this analysis.
Conclusions: The extinction map derived from BHB stars is highly consistent
with that from Schlegel, Finkbeiner & Davis(1998). The derived is around
2.40. The contamination probably makes the be larger.Comment: 16 pages, 13 figures, 4 tables, accepted for publication in A&
