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 precision frontier in collider physics is being pushed at impressive speed, from both the
experimental and the theoretical side. The aim of this review is to give an overview of recent …

The standard model of particle physics,,–describes the known fundamental particles and
forces that make up our Universe, with the exception of gravity. One of the central features of …

A bstract Evidence for Higgs boson decay to a pair of muons is presented. This result
combines searches in four exclusive categories targeting the production of the Higgs boson …

Sherpa is a general-purpose Monte Carlo event generator for the simulation of particle
collisions in high-energy collider experiments. We summarize essential features and …

The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments, was a
success achieved with only a percent of the entire dataset foreseen for the LHC. It opened a …

Many extensions of the Standard Model predict the production of dark matter particles at the
LHC. Sufficiently light dark matter particles may be produced in decays of the Higgs boson …

We present a new set of parton distributions, NNPDF3. 1, which updates NNPDF3. 0, the first
global set of PDFs determined using a methodology validated by a closure test. The update …

This Report summarizes the results of the activities of the LHC Higgs Cross Section Working
Group in the period 2014–2016. The main goal of the working group was to present the state …

We present the computational framework Matrix (http://matrix. hepforge. org/) which allows
us to evaluate fully differential cross sections for a wide class of processes at hadron …
