Search for Higgs Boson at LHC in the Reaction pp->gamma+gamma+jet at a Low Luminosity
We discuss the SM Higgs discovery potential of the LHC in the channel
pp->H+jet->gamma+gamma+jet when the jet is observed at sufficiently high Pt and
a small rapidity to be reliably identified. We calculate all the signal
subprocesses and the irreducible background with realistic kinematical cuts.
The reducible QCD background is also estimated. We conclude that the channel
gamma+gamma+jet can give about 120-200 signal events for Higgs mass MH=100-140
GeV at the integrated luminosity of 30 inverse fb. This signal rate should be
compared with only 330-600 events for the irreducible background per two-photon
invariant mass interval of 2 GeV. We estimate the QCD reducible background at
the level of 20% of the irreducible one. Thus, one may hope that the Higgs
boson can be discovered already during the LHC operation at a low luminosity.
At a high luminosity the observation of several hundreds of high Pt Higgs
bosons in this channel will be possible with significance higher than 15 for
L=100 inverse fb.Comment: 21 pages (LaTeX code, epsf.sty), 2 tables, 9 figures; to appear in

Modeling the process of producing hydrogen from methane
Using the chemical reactions that accompany the production of syngas via the steam reforming of methane as a basis, the differential material balance equations were derived and solved for all conversion products on an aluminum/nickel catalyst. For the following stage of hydrogen synthesis on an iron/chromium catalyst, the system of two differential equations of the material balance of the direct and reverse reactions of steam carbon monoxide conversion was obtained and solved. The analytical solutions were compared with the experiment. © 2013 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd
CompHEP: specialized package for automatic calculations of elementary particle decays and collisions
At present time when a new generation of TeV colliders are beginning to operate one needs to calculate cross-sections for a great number of various reactions. Such calculations are united in the framework of the collider physical program, providing definite predictions how to detect the signatures of the new physics and separate them from the background. The CompHEP package was created for calculation of decay and high energy collision processes of elementary particles in the lowest order (tree) approximation. The main idea put into the CompHEP was to make available passing from the lagrangian to the final distributions effectively with the high level of automatization what is extremely needed in collider physics
CompHEP-PYTHIA interface: integrated package for the collision events generation based on exact matrix elements
CompHEP, as a partonic event generator, and PYTHIA, as a generator of final
states of detectable objects, are interfaced. Thus, integrated tool is proposed
for simulation of (almost) arbitrary collision processes at the level of
detectable particles. Exact (multiparticle) matrix elements, convolution with
structure functions, decays, partons hadronization and (optionally) parton
shower evolution are basic stages of calculations. The PEVLIB library of event
generators for LHC processes is described.Comment: Standard LaTeX, 4 pages. To appear in the proceedings of the Seventh

The Influence of Low-Frequency Seismic Phenomena Effects on the Process of Boiling up the Coolant
This paper studies the low frequency seismic phenomena on the overheating boiling process and the cavitation state of the coolant in a small volume of system. This experiment is basically the imitation of the situation in a nuclear reactor core where distilled water was used as coolant during the experiment. Temperature of the coolant was recorded during the normal state and the time of implementing external low frequency. The stretched state of the liquid due to overheating and the cavitation destruction process were investigated. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd
