Hunting for QCD instantons at the LHC in events with large rapidity gaps (2021)
Journal Article
Khoze, V., Khoze, V., Milne, D., & Ryskin, M. (2021). Hunting for QCD instantons at the LHC in events with large rapidity gaps. Physical Review D, 104(5), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.104.054013

We outline a strategy of how to search for QCD instantons of invariant mass 20–60 GeVin diffractive events in low-luminosity runs at the LHC. We show that, by imposing appropriate selection criteria on the final states, one can select the kinematic r...

Is soil organic carbon underestimated in the largest mangrove forest ecosystems? Evidence from the Bangladesh Sundarbans (2021)
Journal Article
Rahman, M., Donoghue, D., & Bracken, L. (2021). Is soil organic carbon underestimated in the largest mangrove forest ecosystems? Evidence from the Bangladesh Sundarbans. CATENA, 200, Article 105159. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.catena.2021.105159

Globally, mangroves sequester a large amount of carbon into the sediments, although spatial heterogeneity exists owing to a wide variety of local, regional, and global controls. Rapid environmental and climate change, including increasing sea-level r... Read More about Is soil organic carbon underestimated in the largest mangrove forest ecosystems?

Searching for QCD instantons at hadron colliders (2021)
Journal Article
Khoze, V. V., Milne, D. L., & Spannowsky, M. (2021). Searching for QCD instantons at hadron colliders. Physical Review D, 103(1), Article 014017. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.103.014017

QCD instantons are arguably the best motivated yet unobserved nonperturbative effects predicted by the Standard Model. A discovery and detailed study of instanton-generated processes at colliders would provide a new window into the phenomenological e...

Worldline theories with towers of internal states (2020)
Journal Article
Abel, S., & Lewis, D. (2020). Worldline theories with towers of internal states. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020(12), Article 69. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep12%282020%29069

We study particle theories that have a tower of worldline internal degrees of freedom. Such a theory can arise when the worldsheet of closed strings is dimensionally reduced to a worldline, in which case the tower is infinite with regularly spaced ma...

Montane forest expansion at high elevations drives rapid reduction in non‐forest area, despite no change in mean forest elevation (2020)
Journal Article

Aim: At the elevational limit of forest distribution, montane forests show diverse responses to environmental change with upward shifts, increased tree density and lateral expansion reported. To enable informed analysis of the consequences forest adv...

Forest structural diversity metrics describing diversity in tree size and crown shape within forest stands can be used as indicators of biodiversity. These diversity metrics can be generated using airborne laser scanning (LiDAR) data to provide a rap...
