The ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider is used to search for high-mass resonances decaying dielectron or dimuon final states. Results are presented from an analysis of proton-proton (pp) collisions a center-of-mass energy 8 TeV corresponding integrated luminosity 20.3 fb-1 in channel and 20.5 channel. A narrow resonance with Standard Model Z couplings fermions excluded 95% confidence level masses less than 2.79 channel, 2.53 2.90 two channels combined. Limits on other model...
The four LEP collaborations, ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL, have searched for pair-produced charged Higgs bosons in the framework of Two Doublet Models (2HDMs). data experiments been statistically combined. results are interpreted within 2HDM Type I II benchmark scenarios. No significant excess has observed when compared to Standard Model background prediction, combined exclude large regions model parameter space. Charged with mass below 80 \({\rm GeV}/c^{2}\) (Type scenario) or 72.5 scenario,...
This paper introduces a new approach to measure the muon magnetic moment anomaly |$a_{\mu} = (g-2)/2$| and electric dipole (EDM) |$d_{\mu}$| at J-PARC facility. The goal of our experiment is |$a_{\mu}$| using an independent method with factor 10 lower momentum, 20 smaller diameter storage-ring solenoid compared previous ongoing |$g-2$| experiments unprecedented quality storage field. Additional significant differences from present experimental include 1000 transverse emittance beam...
The energy dependence of the relative production rate three-jet events is studied in hadronic e+e− annihilation at center mass energies between 22 and 46.7 GeV. Three-jet are defined by a jet finding algorithm which closely related to definition resolvable jets used O(αs2) perturbative QCD calculations, where roughly proportional size strong coupling strength. rates data decrease significantly with increasing centre energy. experimental rates, independent fragmentation model can be directly...
An analog hadron calorimeter (AHCAL) prototype of 5.3 nuclear interaction lengths thickness has been constructed by members the CALICE Collaboration. The AHCAL consists a 38-layer sandwich structure steel plates and highly-segmented scintillator tiles that are read out wavelength-shifting fibers coupled to SiPMs. signal is amplified shaped with custom-designed ASIC. A calibration/monitoring system based on LED light was developed monitor SiPM gain measure full response curve in order correct...

This paper presents a summary of beam-induced backgrounds observed in the ATLAS detector and discusses methods to tag remove background contaminated events data. Trigger-rate based monitoring beam-related is presented. The correlations with machine conditions, such as residual pressure beam-pipe, are discussed. Results from dedicated beam-background simulations shown, their qualitative agreement data evaluated. Data taken during passage unpaired, i.e. non-colliding, proton bunches used...

Using this technique, we study measurement bottom squarks gluino. Based on final state including two high ${p}_{T}$ leptons and $b$-jets, investigate different possible approaches gluino squarks. In particular, evaluate performance algorithms discriminating...
We describe a new caldoactive bacterium, Dictyoglomus thermophilum, which was isolated from slightly alkaline hot spring. This organism is nonsporeforming, nonmotile, obligately anaerobic rod-shaped bacterium that stains gram negative and occurs singly, in pairs, filaments, bundles, as spherical bodies. The cell surface structure of the complex gram-negative type. Large bodies are formed by associations separate rods numbers ranging few to perhaps many 100; these surrounded common outer wall...
