Multivariate discrimination and the Higgs+W/Z search
A systematic method for optimizing multivariate discriminants is developed and applied to the important example of a light Higgs boson search at the Tevatron and the LHC. The Significance Improvement Character...

Resummation of heavy jet mass and comparison to LEP data
The heavy jet mass distribution in e + e − collisions is computed to next-to-nextto-next-to leading logarithmic (N3LL) and next-to-next-to l...

Annihilation decays of bound states at the LHC
At the Large Hadron Collider, heavy particles may be produced in pairs close to their kinematic threshold. If these particles have strong enough attractive interactions they may form bound states. Consequently...

Direct photon production with effective field theory
The production of hard photons in hadronic collisions is studied using Soft-Collinear Effective Theory (SCET). This is the first application of SCET to a physical, observable cross section involving energetic ...
