Next-to-leading order predictions for WW+jet production
In this work we report on a next-to-leading order calculation of WW + jet
production at hadron colliders, with subsequent leptonic decays of the W-bosons
included. The calculation of the one-loop contributions is performed using
generalized unitarity methods in order to derive analytic expressions for the
relevant amplitudes. These amplitudes have been implemented in the parton-level
Monte Carlo generator MCFM, which we use to provide a complete next-to-leading
order calculation. Predictions for total cross-sections, as well as
differential distributions for several key observables, are computed both for
the LHC operating at 14 TeV as well as for a possible future 100 TeV
proton-proton collider.Comment: 14 pages, 7 figures; v2: several references added, 2 typos corrected.

New Physics at the LHC. A Les Houches Report: Physics at TeV Colliders 2009 - New Physics Working Group
We present a collection of signatures for physics beyond the standard model
that need to be explored at the LHC. First, are presented various tools
developed to measure new particle masses in scenarios where all decays include
an unobservable particle. Second, various aspects of supersymmetric models are
discussed. Third, some signatures of models of strong electroweak symmetry are
discussed. In the fourth part, a special attention is devoted to high mass
resonances, as the ones appearing in models with warped extra dimensions.
Finally, prospects for models with a hidden sector/valley are presented. Our
report, which includes brief experimental and theoretical reviews as well as
original results, summarizes the activities of the "New Physics" working group
for the "Physics at TeV Colliders" workshop (Les Houches, France, 8-26 June,
2009).Comment: 189 page
Влияние пандемии коронавируса на жизнь конкретного человека (на основе личного опыта)
We investigate the implications for supersymmetry from an assumed absence of
any signal in the first period of LHC data taking at 7 TeV center-of-mass
energy and with 1 to 7 fb^(-1) of integrated luminosity. We consider the
zero-lepton plus four jets and missing transverse energy signature, and perform
a combined fit of low-energy measurements, the dark matter relic density
constraint and potential LHC exclusions within a minimal supergravity model. A
non-observation of supersymmetry in the first period of LHC data taking would
still allow for an acceptable description of low-energy data and the dark
matter relic density in terms of minimal supergravity models, but would exclude
squarks and gluinos with masses below 1 TeV.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Les Houches 2011: Physics at TeV Colliders New Physics Working Group Report
We present the activities of the "New Physics" working group for the "Physics
at TeV Colliders" workshop (Les Houches, France, 30 May-17 June, 2011). Our
report includes new agreements on formats for interfaces between computational
tools, new tool developments, important signatures for searches at the LHC,
recommendations for presentation of LHC search results, as well as additional
phenomenological studies.Comment: 243 pages, report of the Les Houches 2011 New Physics Group; fix

Use of media and public-domain Internet sources for detection and assessment of plant health threats
Event-based biosurveillance is a recognized approach to early warning and situational awareness of emerging health threats. In this study, we build upon previous human and animal health work to develop a new approach to plant pest and pathogen surveillance. We show that monitoring public domain electronic media for indications and warning of epidemics and associated social disruption can provide information about the emergence and progression of plant pest infestation or disease outbreak. The approach is illustrated using a case study, which describes a plant pest and pathogen epidemic in China and Vietnam from February 2006 to December 2007, and the role of ducks in contributing to zoonotic virus spread in birds and humans. This approach could be used as a complementary method to traditional plant pest and pathogen surveillance to aid global and national plant protection officials and political leaders in early detection and timely response to significant biological threats to plant health, economic vitality, and social stability. This study documents the inter-relatedness of health in human, animal, and plant populations and emphasizes the importance of plant health surveillance

JUNO Conceptual Design Report
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is proposed to determine
the neutrino mass hierarchy using an underground liquid scintillator detector.
It is located 53 km away from both Yangjiang and Taishan Nuclear Power Plants
in Guangdong, China. The experimental hall, spanning more than 50 meters, is
under a granite mountain of over 700 m overburden. Within six years of running,
the detection of reactor antineutrinos can resolve the neutrino mass hierarchy
at a confidence level of 3-4, and determine neutrino oscillation
parameters , , and to
an accuracy of better than 1%. The JUNO detector can be also used to study
terrestrial and extra-terrestrial neutrinos and new physics beyond the Standard
Model. The central detector contains 20,000 tons liquid scintillator with an
acrylic sphere of 35 m in diameter. 17,000 508-mm diameter PMTs with high
quantum efficiency provide 75% optical coverage. The current choice of
the liquid scintillator is: linear alkyl benzene (LAB) as the solvent, plus PPO
as the scintillation fluor and a wavelength-shifter (Bis-MSB). The number of
detected photoelectrons per MeV is larger than 1,100 and the energy resolution
is expected to be 3% at 1 MeV. The calibration system is designed to deploy
multiple sources to cover the entire energy range of reactor antineutrinos, and
to achieve a full-volume position coverage inside the detector. The veto system
is used for muon detection, muon induced background study and reduction. It
consists of a Water Cherenkov detector and a Top Tracker system. The readout
system, the detector control system and the offline system insure efficient and
stable data acquisition and processing.Comment: 328 pages, 211 figure
