Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of quarks and gluons, whose interactions can be
described by a local SU (3) gauge symmetry with charges called “color quantum numbers” …

The second part of this review is devoted to the Higgs sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric
Standard Model. The properties of the neutral and charged Higgs bosons of the extended …

This manual describes the Pythia event generator, the most recent version of an evolving
physics tool used to answer fundamental questions in particle physics. The program is most …

We present 9 new tunes of the p⊥-ordered shower and underlying-event model in Pythia
6.4. These “Perugia” tunes update and supersede the older “S0” family. The data sets used …

Abstract General-purpose Monte Carlo event generators have become important tools in
particle physics, allowing the simulation of exclusive hadronic final states. In this article we …

The first measurement of lepton-jet momentum imbalance and azimuthal correlation in
lepton-proton scattering at high momentum transfer is presented. These data, taken with the …

CMS is a general purpose experiment, designed to study the physics of pp collisions at 14
TeV at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It currently involves more than 2000 physicists from …

We assess the current phenomenological status of transverse momentum dependent (TMD)
parton distribution functions (PDFs) and fragmentation functions (FFs) and study the effect of …

The suppression of the individual Υ (n S) states in PbPb collisions with respect to their yields
in pp data has been measured. The PbPb and pp data sets used in the analysis correspond …

Decay rates of unpolarized top quarks into longitudinally and transversally polarized W
bosons are calculated to second order in the strong coupling constant α s. Including the …
