Extending the Higgs sector: an extra singlet
An extension of the Standard Model with an additional Higgs singlet is
analyzed. Bounds on singlet admixture in 125 GeV h boson from electroweak
radiative corrections and data on h production and decays are obtained.
Possibility of double h production enhancement at 14 TeV LHC due to heavy higgs
contribution is considered.Comment: 18 pages, 7 figures. v2: one equation added; references received

New Physics at 1 TeV?
If decays of a heavy particle S are responsible for the diphoton excess with
invariant mass 750 GeV observed at the 13 TeV LHC run, it can be easily
accomodated in the Standard Model. Two scenarios are considered: production in
gluon fusion through a loop of heavy isosinglet quark(s) and production in
photon fusion through a loop of heavy isosinglet leptons. In the second case
many heavy leptons are needed or/and they should have large electric charges in
order to reproduce experimental data on .Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl
Two-photon physics at future electron-positron colliders
Two photon collisions offer a variety of physics studies that can be
performed at the future electron-positron colliders. Using the planned CEPC
parameters as a benchmark we consider several topics to be studied in the
two-photon collisions. With the full integrated luminosity the Higgs boson
photoproduction can be reliably observed. A large statistics of various
quarkonium states can be collected. The LEP results on the photon structure
function and the tau lepton anomalous magnetic moment can be improved by 1-2
orders of magnitude
Measurement of the energy resolution and calibration of hybrid pixel detectors with GaAs:Cr sensor and Timepix readout chip
This paper describes an iterative method of per-pixel energy calibration of
hybrid pixel detectors with GaAs:Cr sensor and Timepix readout chip. A
convolution of precisely measured spectra of characteristic X-rays of different
metals with the resolution and the efficiency of the pixel detector is used for
the calibration. The energy resolution of the detector is also measured during
the calibration. The use of per-pixel calibration allows to achieve a good
energy resolution of the Timepix detector with GaAs:Cr sensor: 8% and 13% at 60
keV and 20 keV, respectively
scattering at the LHC with the lepton pair production and one proton tagging
Analytical formulas for the cross section of the reaction are presented. Fiducial cross sections are compared with those
measured recently by the ATLAS collaboration.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figur
Weak interaction corrections to muon pair production via the photon fusion at the LHC
Analytical formulas describing the correction due to the boson exchange
to the cross section of the reaction are
presented. When the invariant mass of the produced muon pair and its total transverse momentum is large, the correction is
of the order of 20%.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figure
On production of heavy charged particles in fusion at planned colliders
Production of heavy fermions in ultraperipheral collisions () and the semiexclusive reaction () is considered. Differential
and total cross sections for the energies of the planned colliders are
presented.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, 2 table
libepa -- a C++/Python library for calculations of cross sections of ultraperipheral collisions
The library provides a set of C++/Python functions for computing cross
sections of ultraperipheral collisions of high energy particles under the
equivalent photons approximation. Cross sections are represented through
multiple integrals over the phase space. The integrals are calculated through
recurrent application of algorithms for one dimensional integration. The paper
contains an introduction to the theory of ultraperipheral collisions, discusses
the library approach and provides a few examples of calculations.Comment: 25 pages, 6 figures, 1 table. See the arXiv archive for supplementary

Alignment and resolution studies of a MARS CT scanner
This paper describes a procedure of alignment of MARS CT scanner with cone beam geometry. The position of the xray source relative to the detector, the tilt of the detector are measured during alignment. The mechanical precision of gantry movement is determined. Significant improvement in the quality of image reconstruction has been achieved as a result of the calibration. Spatial resolution (PTF) of the scanner is confirmed to be about 30 μm
