We find exact finite temperature solutions to d=5 Einstein-dilaton gravity with black branes and a Randall-Sundrum 3-brane. We show that there exists a unique generating superpotential for these models. The location of the black brane and the associated Hawking temperature depend on the value of the 3-brane tension, while other parameters are held fixed. The thermodynamics of these solutions are p
We consider electroweak Higgs plus three jets production at NLO QCD beyond strict VBF acceptance cuts. We investigate, for the first time, how accurate the VBF approximation is in these regions and within perturbative uncertainties by a detailed comparison of full and approximate calculations. We find that a rapidity gap between the tagging jets guarantees a good approximation, while an invariant
This note provides an interim summary of the current recommendations of thePDF4LHC working group for the use of parton distribution functions (PDFs)and of PDF uncertainties at the LHC, for cross section and cross section uncer-tainty calculations. It also contains a succinct user guideto the computation ofPDFs, uncertainties and correlations using available PDF sets.A companion note (the PDF4LHC W
We present a novel event-generation framework for the efficient simulation of vector boson plus multijet backgrounds at the high-luminosity LHC and at possible future hadron colliders. Message passing interface parallelization of parton-level and particle-level event generation and storage of parton-level event information using the HDF5 data format allow us to obtain leading-order merged Monte Ca
In supersymmetric scenarios with broken R-parity, baryon number violating sparticle decays become possible. In order to search for such decays, a good understanding of expected event properties is essential. We here develop a complete framework that allows detailed studies. Special attention is given to the hadronization phase, wherein the baryon number violating vertex is associated with the appe
In this paper, the basic properties of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) condensates are presented, together with theirs relation to the operator product expansion (OPE) and the two-point and three-point Green functions constructed of chiral currents. Next, our newest results for the contribution of the QCD condensates with dimension D < 6 to the Green functions calculated within the framework of χPT/R
We present a microscopic model for collective effects in high multiplicity proton–proton collisions, where multiple partonic subcollisions give rise to a dense system of strings. From lattice calculations we know that QCD strings are transversely extended, and we argue that this should result in a transverse pressure and expansion, similar to the flow in a deconfined plasma. The model is implement
We present a method to include colour-suppressed effects in the Mueller dipole picture. The model consistently includes saturation effects both in the evolution of dipoles and in the interactions of dipoles with a target in a frame-independent way. When implemented in a Monte Carlo simulation together with our previous model of energy-momentum conservation and a simple dipole description of initia
We describe recent developments of the public computer code HiggsBounds. In particular, these include the incorporation of LHC Higgs search results from Run 2 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, and an updated and extended framework for the theoretical input that accounts for improved Higgs cross section and branching ratio predictions and new search channels. We furthermore discuss an improved
Pythia8 is the only general purpose event generator able to produce complete fully exclusive hadronic final states in collisions involving heavy ions. The model that allows this is called Angantyr and will be discussed in this contribution. The contribution also discusses models based on interactions between strings in an extention of the Lund model that are able to describe some collective effect
Finite-volume corrections to the Lattice Quantum Chromo Dynamics (LQCD) calculation of the hadronic vacuum polarization are here considered to one loop, for the simplified case of one and two propagators of equal mass. Simplifications in the calculations are sought for by comparing computations in momentum space, time-momentum space and position space. The derivation of the finite-volume correctio
We investigate the ground-state energy of the pi(-)p atom (pionic hydrogen) in the framework of QCD + QED. In particular, we evaluate the strong energy-level shift. We perform the calculation at next-to-leading order in the low-energy expansion in the framework of the relevant effective field theory. The result provides a relation between the strong energy shift and the pion-nucleon S-wave scatter
We use one-loop Heavy Meson Chiral Perturbation Theory (HMChPT) as well as a relativistic formulation to calculate the chiral logarithms m(pi)(2) log (m(pi)(2)/mu(2)) contributing to the formfactors of the semileptonic B -> pi decays at momentum transfer q(2) away from q(max)(2) = (m(B) - m(pi))(2). We give arguments why this chiral behaviour is reliable even in the energy regime with hard or fast
The Next to Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) allows a CP violating phase at tree level in the Higgs sector. This CP violation will introduce new mixing between the neutral Higgs states and give rise to changes in the mass spectrum and couplings. We investigate these effects in light of the newly discovered Higgs boson, as its measured properties provides new limits on the Higgs sector

The purpose of this study is to investigate the way George W. Bush used the language as a means to exercise power in an attempt to justify Operation Iraqi Freedom. The theories used to answer the purpose are discourse analysis and three different moral metaphors that are applied on the data. The collected material for the metaphors is constituted of cognitive linguistic books from prominent lingu
I solsystemet kan vi se åtta planeter, flera dvärgplaneter och mängder av asteroider och kometer kretsande runt Solen. I planetariet kan vi lära oss om Jorden och månen, säsonger och stjärnorna. Vi utforskar solsystemets åtta planeter, lär oss om stjärnbilderna och att bara för att det kallas för "stjärnfall" betyder det inte att stjärnor kan falla från himlavalvet.We have eight planets, quite a few dwarf planets and a lot of asteroids and comets orbiting the Sun. In the planetarium we can learn about the Earth and the Moon, the seasons and the stars. We explore the planets of the solar system, learn about the constellations and discover that just because it is called "a shooting star" does not mean that stars can fall from the skies.
Duni AB is a leading provider of premium solutions and products, e.g. napkins, plates, table covers, candles and food solutions. The company has recently made major organizational changes, i.e. going from a decentralized organization to a centralized organization with all product development in Malmö. There is a lot of work to be done to optimize both product and packaging development in order to
Comparative analysis of expressed sequence tags is becoming an important tool in molecular ecology for comparing gene expression in organisms grown in certain environments. Additionally, expressed sequence tag database information can be used for the construction of DNA microarrays and for the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms. For such applications, we present PHOREST, a web-based tool
