This document discusses the sensitivity of a future medium-baseline reactor neutrino experiment to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy.
1) For an exposure of 20 GW thermal power, 5 kiloton detector mass, and 5 years of running, an optimal baseline length of around 50 km is required. The energy resolution needs to be less than 3% statistical error and less than 1% systematic error.
2) With these parameters, the experiment could measure neutrino oscillation parameters with 0.5% level of accuracy.
3) The study provides the minimum requirements for the energy resolution to determine the mass hierarchy. More realistic studies must account for factors like the distribution of reactors within 100 km of the far detector.

This document discusses limits on Higgs-portal weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) from LHC data. It begins by introducing Higgs portal models that allow interactions between the standard model and hidden sector particles through the Higgs field. It then reviews current constraints on Higgs portal WIMPs from relic abundance, direct detection, and collider searches. The document focuses on further exploring Higgs portal models using LHC data, particularly invisible Higgs decays, mono-jet/Z searches, and vector boson fusion processes. Formulas for calculating production cross sections of WIMP pairs are provided. The analysis details how various LHC searches can set limits on the coupling parameters in different Higgs portal models.
Agile CMMI - Embrace Maturity with Scrum, Visual Studio 2010 and TFS 2010 - T...Jose Luis Soria
Both Scrum and CMMI focus on very similar objectives: improvement is either a mean or an end, which guides the team as the projects evolve. In fact, far from representing conflicting approaches, they can be successfully combined, so using Scrum and the right tools can easily lead an organization to achieve higher levels in the CMMI maturity model. CMMI is – purposely – method and tool agnostic, so while it addresses the “what," Scrum, in combination with Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server, can fill the gap about the “how." This session provides insights around these matters, and guidelines on how to benefit from Scrum and ALM practices along the different CMMI levels.

This document discusses the use of recursive relations in MadGraph to more efficiently calculate multi-parton QCD processes. Recursive relations reduce the number of amplitude terms that must be calculated by relating higher-point terms to sums of lower-point terms. The author implemented off-shell recursive relation subroutines in the HELAS library to allow MadGraph to calculate processes with 5 or more gluons in the final state. Future work includes applying these techniques to processes with quarks and performing phase space integration and event generation.
MadGraph is an automatic amplitude generator that is useful for QCD processes but has limitations for processes with many final state particles. The file size of codes generated by MadGraph becomes very large for processes with more than 5 final state particles due to the large size of the color matrix and dual amplitudes. The author overcame this limitation by modifying MadGraph to generate smaller code files for each dual amplitude, calculating the color matrix on-the-fly rather than including it, and compiling the smaller files. This allowed simulation of multi-gluon processes with more than 5 gluons.
This document discusses extending the ability of MadGraph to simulate multi-jet events for new physics searches at the LHC. It proposes dividing the MadGraph code into smaller pieces by color decomposition to allow compilation on standard PCs. Higher-order corrections are included by evaluating needed color flows and reweighting events. Results are shown for total cross sections and distributions of gluonic processes generated at leading order with MadGraph.
This document discusses methods for generating multi-jet events with MadGraph. It describes limitations of current matrix element generators in simulating processes with more than 5 jets. The document then outlines strategies used in MadGraph to overcome its limitations and allow for multi-jet event generation. These include dividing amplitudes, speeding up evaluation with off-shell recursive relations, and reorganizing color summation using a 1/N_c expansion.
- The document examines the W+4 jets background to the top quark asymmetry observed at the Tevatron.
- Event generation is performed with MadGraph 5 using CTEQ6L1 PDFs and a factorization scale of 20 GeV.
- Kinematic distributions of the W+4 jets process are studied after event selection and reconstruction of top quarks.
- A large forward-backward asymmetry is seen in the W+4 jets background, suggesting background contaminations may be higher than expected and contributing to the observed anomaly.
This document provides a status report on multi-jet event generation. It discusses the importance of multi-jet signatures for new physics models and limitations of current event generators in generating processes with many final state particles. It then summarizes strategies developed to overcome these limitations, including using recursive relations to speed up amplitude evaluations, reorganizing color summations, and employing the leading color approximation and 1/N_c expansion to simplify calculations. Tests show the new methods agree with exact calculations and allow efficient generation of events with higher jet multiplicities than before.
This document discusses a method for generating multi-jet events using MadGraph. It notes that multi-jet signatures are important for new physics models but current matrix element generators cannot simulate more than 5 jets. The method uses off-shell recursive relations to speed up amplitude evaluations and reorganizes color summation using a 1/Nc expansion. It generates leading color approximation events and includes higher order corrections to event weights. Results are shown for gluonic processes demonstrating the ability to generate leading order multi-jet events.
This document discusses the W+4 jets background to the top quark asymmetry observed at the Tevatron. It finds that W+4 jets events can exhibit a large forward-backward asymmetry at the matrix element level. However, in background-enriched samples with zero b-tagged jets, no significant asymmetry is observed. The discrepancy may be due to biases introduced in the reconstruction of neutrino rapidity when requiring one or more b-tagged jets. Accounting properly for uncertainties in the neutrino rapidity determination could help reconcile measurements of the asymmetry between b-tagged and non-b-tagged event samples.
This document investigates the W+4 jets background to the top quark forward-backward asymmetry at the Tevatron. It finds a large forward-backward asymmetry in the W+4 jets background simulation. The choice of neutrino rapidity in the event reconstruction can significantly impact the asymmetry. While a simple study, it provides hints that the W+4 jets process could contribute to the observed top quark asymmetry.
The document discusses determining the neutrino mass hierarchy using a future medium-baseline reactor neutrino experiment. It finds that an optimal baseline length of around 50 km is required to distinguish the normal and inverted hierarchies. An energy resolution of less than 3% is needed to achieve sufficient sensitivity, and systematic errors in the resolution parameterization must be controlled to below 1% to maintain sensitivity. The analysis models the expected energy distributions at the far detector and performs a standard χ2 test to estimate the required sensitivity to determine the mass hierarchy.
This document discusses the sensitivity of future medium-baseline reactor neutrino experiments to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy. It finds that an optimal baseline length is around 50km, and an energy resolution with a statistical error component below 3% and systematic error below 1% is required to achieve a sensitivity of (Δχ2)min ≥ 9. With 20GW thermal power, 5kt detector mass, and 5 years of data, it is estimated that neutrino oscillation parameters can be measured with approximately 0.5% accuracy.
The document discusses using reactor neutrino experiments to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy. It finds that a baseline length of around 50km is optimal. An energy resolution with statistical error less than 3% and systematic error less than 1% is required to determine the mass hierarchy with reactor neutrinos. Specifically, a 20GW reactor with a 5 kiloton detector running for 5 years could achieve this resolution and determine the mass hierarchy.
Medium baseline reactor neutrino experiments have the potential to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy. An energy resolution of less than 3% is required to achieve good sensitivity for a 20GW, 5kt, 5 year experiment. The optimal baseline length is approximately 50km, and systematic uncertainties in the energy resolution should be less than 1% . Such an experiment could measure oscillation parameters with 0.5% accuracy and have a chance to determine the mass hierarchy at greater than 3σ significance.
This document discusses the sensitivity of a medium baseline reactor neutrino experiment to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy. It finds that:
1) For a 16.5GW reactor flux, 5kton detector, and 5 year run time, an optimal baseline length of around 50km could determine the mass hierarchy at over 2-sigma significance with an energy resolution of less than 3%.
2) The energy resolution is crucial, as a resolution of 3% reduces sensitivity by around 40% compared to 2%, and shortens the optimal baseline length by about 5km.
3) Interference from other reactor sites and cores significantly impacts the sensitivity, so their locations and flux distributions must be carefully considered in the experiment design.
1) Reactor neutrino experiments have the potential to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy independently of CP phase and matter effects using medium-baseline detectors.
2) The sensitivity of a RENO50-like experiment to determine the mass hierarchy depends on the energy resolution and interference from multiple reactor sites and cores.
3) With a 16.5GW reactor source, 10kt detector, and 5 years of data, energy resolutions of a<3% and b<0.5% would provide over 80% probability of a 2-sigma determination of the mass hierarchy, while a<2% and b<1% could achieve a 3-sigma determination.
This document discusses the sensitivity of a next generation reactor neutrino experiment to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy. It analyzes factors that affect the sensitivity such as baseline length, neutrino flux, detector size, energy resolution, and uncertainties in the neutrino oscillation parameters. With a 16.5GW thermal power reactor source, 18 kiloton detector, and 5 years of data taking, a reactor neutrino experiment could determine the mass hierarchy at over 3-sigma sensitivity if the energy resolution is less than 3% and 0.5% respectively. Other systematic uncertainties from multiple reactor sites, energy scale uncertainty, and oscillation parameters must also be carefully controlled to achieve this sensitivity.

The document discusses a 750 GeV resonance observed by ATLAS and CMS, and considers its properties and decay modes. It analyzes the ability of the HL-LHC and potential 1 TeV photon collider to detect the different decay modes, depending on the model parameters. A 1 TeV photon collider could help explore regions beyond the LHC's reach, such as decay modes to electroweak boson pairs or gluons if their branching ratios are small. The collider could detect various decay modes with 1 ab-1 of data or less, helping to further constrain the properties of the unknown 750 GeV particle.
The document discusses the sensitivity to the mass hierarchy determination of future reactor neutrino experiments. It finds that with a 16.5GW reactor complex, 18 kiloton detector, and 5 years of data, an energy resolution of less than 3% at 1 MeV plus 0.5% would be required for a greater than 3-sigma determination of the mass hierarchy. The energy resolution and reduction of uncertainties are important factors, as is accounting for interference among multiple reactor cores. Significant efforts are underway to determine the mass hierarchy with future reactor neutrino experiments.
