Searches for QCD instantons with forward proton tagging (2023)
Journal Article
Tasevsky, M., Khoze, V., Milne, D., & Ryskin, M. (2023). Searches for QCD instantons with forward proton tagging. The European Physical Journal C, 83, Article 35. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-023-11178-7

We study the possibility to observe heavy (Minst>60 GeV) QCD instantons at the LHC in events with one or two tagged leading protons including fast simulation of detector and pile-up effects. We show that the expected instanton signal in a single-tagg... Read More about Searches for QCD instantons with forward proton tagging.

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 520(1), 702-721. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad140

Secure confirmation that a gravitational wave (GW) has been gravitationally lensed would bring together these two pillars of General Relativity for the first time. This breakthrough is challenging for many reasons, including: GW sky localization unce...

We present next-to-leading order QCD and electroweak (EW) theory predictions for V + 2 jet production, with V = Z, W±, considering both the QCD and EW production modes and their interference. We focus on phase-space regions where V + 2 jet production... Read More about Precise predictions for V + 2 jet backgrounds in searches for invisible Higgs decays.
