Atom interferometers are a useful tool for precision measurements of fundamental physical phenomena, ranging from the local gravitational-field strength to the atomic fine-structure constant. In such experiments, it is desirable to implement a high-m...

Factorization for the light-jet mass and hemisphere soft function (2016)
Journal Article
Becher, T., Pecjak, B. D., & Shao, D. Y. (2016). Factorization for the light-jet mass and hemisphere soft function. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016(12), Article 18. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep12%282016%29018

Many collider observables suffer from non-global logarithms not captured by standard resummation techniques. Classic examples are the light-jet mass event shape in the limit of small mass and the related hemisphere soft function. We derive factorizat...

An estimate is made of the thickness of the radar-bright deposits in craters near to Mercury’s north pole. To construct an objective set of craters for this measurement, an automated crater finding algorithm is developed and applied to a digital elev...

Accurate Monte Carlo simulations for high-energy events at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, are very expensive, both from the computing and storage points of view. We describe a method that allows to consistently re-use parton-level samples accurate up... Read More about On the maximal use of Monte Carlo samples: re-weighting events at NLO accuracy.

Parton-shower uncertainties with Herwig 7: benchmarks at leading order (2016)

We perform a detailed study of the sources of perturbative uncertainty in parton-shower predictions within the Herwig 7 event generator. We benchmark two rather different parton-shower algorithms, based on angular-ordered and dipole-type evolution, a...
