Les Houches 2013: Physics at TeV Colliders: Standard Model Working Group Report

This Report summarizes the proceedings of the 2013 Les Houches workshop on Physics at TeV Colliders. Session 1 dealt primarily with (1) the techniques for calculating standard model multi-leg NLO and NNLO QCD and NLO EW cross sections and (2) the comparison of those cross sections with LHC data from Run 1, and projections for future measurements in Run 2.Comment: Proceedings of the Standard Model Working Group of the 2013 Les Houches Workshop, Physics at TeV Colliders, Les houches 3-21 June 2013. 200 page

Effect of cyclic deformations on the dynamic-mechanical properties of silica-filled butyl rubber

Transmission electron photographs of the butyl rubber [IIR] vulcanizates: (a) IIR, unfilled, (b) IIR, filled with 20 phr SiO2, (c) IIR,filled with 20 phr SiO2 + 1.6 phr Si69. The effect of the chemical modification of the silica surface by the silane coupling agent (Si69) on both the real and the imaginary parts of the shear compliance (J′, J″) on silica-filled butyl rubber vulcanizates was investigated in a wide temperature and frequency range, −70 to 120 °C and 10−4 to 10 Hz, respectively. In addition, the stress-strain measurements, DSC, and TEM were carried out. Moreover the effect of stress-strain cyclic deformation up to ten times with maximum deformation 80% of the elongation at break on J′, J″ is also studied. It was found that the filler network recovers after cyclic stress-strain in a time scale of one year at room temperature
