Feebly interacting dark matter
We briefly review scenarios with feebly interacting massive particles (FIMPs) as dark matter candidates. The discussion covers issues with dark matter production in the early universe as well as signatures of ...

Open AccessRecasting direct detection limits within micrOMEGAs and implication for non-standard dark matter scenarios
Direct detection experiments obtain 90% upper limits on the elastic scattering cross sections of dark matter with nucleons assuming point-like interactions and standard astrophysical and cosmological parameter...

Open AccessLHC-friendly minimal freeze-in models
We propose simple freeze-in models where the observed dark matter abundance is explained via the decay of an electrically charged and/or coloured parent particle into Feebly Interacting Massive Particles (FIMP...

Open AccessStatus and prospects of the nMSSM after LHC Run-1
The new minimal supersymmetric standard model (nMSSM), a variant of the general next to minimal supersymmetric standard model (NMSSM) without Z 3 symmetry, features a naturally lig...

Breeding for Improved Nonstructural Carbohydrates in Alfalfa
Extensive degradation of proteins combined with insufficient readily fermentable energy in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) results in poor forage N utilization by ruminants and substantial N losses into the environm...

Open AccessProbing U(1) extensions of the MSSM at the LHC Run I and in dark matter searches
The U(1) extended supersymmetric standard model (UMSSM) can accommodate a Higgs boson at 125 GeV without relying on large corrections from the top/stop sector. After imposing LHC results on the Higgs sector, on B

Open AccessTop polarization in stop production at the LHC
We survey the expected polarization of the top produced in the decay of a scalar top quark, \( \widetilde{t}\to t\widetilde{\chi}_i^0,i=1-2 \) . The phenomenology is quite interesting...

Open AccessHiggs couplings at the end of 2012
Performing a fit to all publicly available data, we analyze the extent to which the latest results from the LHC and Tevatron constrain the couplings of the Higgs boson like state at ~ 125 GeV. To this end we a...

Article
Supersymmetry parameter analysis: SPA convention and project
High-precision analyses of supersymmetry parameters aim at reconstructing the fundamental supersymmetric theory and its breaking mechanism. A well defined theoretical framework is needed when higher-order corr...

Article
Compact sources as the origin of the soft γ-ray emission of the Milky Way
The Milky Way is known to be an abundant source of γ-ray photons1, now determined to be mainly diffuse in nature and resulting from interstellar processes2. In the soft γ-ray domain, point sources are expected to...

Critical petiole nitrate concentration of two processing potato cultivars in Eastern Canada
Plant-based diagnostic methods of nitrogen (N) nutrition such as petiole nitrate (NO3-N) concentration can be used to improve the efficiency of N utilization, and hence decrease the risks of N losses to the envir...

Article
Nitrogen fertilization and irrigation affects tuber characteristics of two potato cultivars
Nitrogen fertilization, irrigation, and cultivars affect tuber characteristics such as tuber size, specific gravity, and N concentration. Few studies, however, have investigated the interaction of irrigation a...

Article
Critical Nitrogen Curve and Nitrogen Nutrition Index for Potato in Eastern Canada
Plant diagnostic methods of N deficiency should be based on the definition of a critical N concentration, that is the minimal N concentration required to achieve maximum growth. The critical N concentration (Nc) ...

Article
Tuber growth and biomass partitioning of two potato cultivars grown under different n fertilization rates with and without irrigation
Nitrogen and water deficiencies are known to affect potato yield, but much less is known of their effect on tuber growth and biomass partitioning. The objective of this on-farm study conducted at two sites in ...

Bosonic quartic couplings at LEP2
We list the set of \(\mathcal{C}\) and \(\mathcal{P}\) conserving anomalous quartic vector bosons self-couplings which can be tested at LEP2 th...

Dynamics of biomass and N accumulation of alfalfa under three N fertilization rates
The dynamics of biomass and N accumulation following defoliation of alfalfa and the application of N fertilization has rarely been studied under field conditions, particularly in the seeding year. Our objectiv...

Z radiation off stops at a linear collider
We calculate \(e^+e^-\to \tilde t_1 \tilde t_1 Z\) at a linear collider. For large splitting between the two stops, the cross section is sensitive to the value of ...

Yield response of two potato culivars to supplemental irrigation and N fertilization in New Brunswick
Nitrogen and water are important factors influencing potato production, and crop response to these two factors may vary with cultivars. The yield response of two potato cultivars (Russet Burbank and Shepody) t...

Article
Associated stop-Higgs production at a linear collider and extraction of stop parameters
We calculate stop-stop-Higgs production at a linear collider. Combining the measurements from the pair production of the lightest stop and that of the mass of the Higgs, we show how, in a scenario where only ...
