Transverse vetoes with rapidity cutoff in SCET

Top Quark Transverse Momentum and Rapidity Distributions

Two particle rapidity, transverse momentum, and azimuthal correlations in relativistic nuclear collisions and transverse radial expansion

At the very first stage of an ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collision new particles are produced in individual nucleon-nucleon collisions. In the transverse plane, all particles from a single NN collision are initially located at the same position. The subsequent transverse radial expansion of the system creates strong position-momentum correlations and leads to characteristic rapidity, tr...

Jet Vetoes interfering with H

Far off-shell Higgs production in H → WW,ZZ, is a particularly powerful probe of Higgs properties, allowing one to disentangle Higgs width and coupling information unavailable in on-shell rate measurements. These measurements require an understanding of the cross section in the far off-shell region in the presence of realistic experimental cuts. We analytically study the effect of a pT jet veto...

A sequential selection game with vetoes

We study an on-line selection game between two committee members (the players). The committee interviews candidates sequentially and has to decide, after each interview, whether to hire or to interview the next candidate.. Each player can either accept or reject the candidate, and if he rejects the candidate while the other accepts her, he can cast a veto. The candidate is hired if accepted by ...
