Next-to-leading Order SUSY-QCD Calculation of Associated Production of Gauginos and Gluinos
Results are presented of a next-to-leading order calculation in perturbative
QCD of the production of charginos and neutralinos in association with gluinos
at hadron colliders. Predictions for cross sections are shown at the energies
of the Fermilab Tevatron and CERN Large Hadron Collider for a typical
supergravity (SUGRA) model of the sparticle mass spectrum and for a light
gluino model.Comment: 3 pages, latex, 4 figures, paper presented by E. L. Berger at ICHEP

Symptomatic pes planus in children : a synthesis of allied health professional practices
This study sought to explore professional perspectives on the assessment and management of symptomatic pes planus in children. Data was collected from three professional groups (podiatrists, physiotherapists, and orthotists) with experience of managing foot problems in children. The survey was undertaken in the United Kingdom via a self-administered, online survey. Data was captured over a four-month period in 2018. Fifty-five health professionals completed the survey and the results highlighted that assessment techniques varied between professions, with standing tip-toe and joint range of motion being the most common. Treatment options for children were diverse and professionals were adopting different strategies as their first line intervention. All professions used orthoses. There were inconsistencies in how the health professionals assessed children presenting with foot symptoms, variation in how the condition was managed and differences in outcome measurement. These findings might be explained by the lack of robust evidence and suggests that more effort is needed to harmonise assessment and treatment approaches between professions. Addressing discrepancies in practice could help prioritise professional roles in this area, and better support the management of children with foot pain. [Abstract copyright: © The Author(s). 2020.
Warped Fermions and Precision Tests
We analyze the behavior of Standard Model matter propagating in a slice of
AdS_5 in the presence of infrared-brane kinetic terms. Brane kinetic terms are
naturally generated through radiative corrections and can also be present at
tree level. The effect of the brane kinetic terms is to expell the heavy KK
modes from the infrared-brane, and hence to reduce their coupling to the
localized Higgs field. In a previous work we showed that sizable gauge kinetic
terms can allow KK mode masses as low as a few TeV, compatible with present
precision measurements. We study here the effect of fermion brane kinetic terms
and show that they ameliorate the behavior of the theory for third generation
fermions localized away from the infrared brane, reduce the contribution of the
third generation quarks to the oblique correction parameters and mantain a good
fit to the precision electroweak data for values of the KK masses of the order
of the weak scale.Comment: 25 pages, 4 figures, latex2
