Dark sectors charged under a new Abelian interaction have recently received much attention in the context of dark matter models. These models introduce light mediator, so-called photon (A′), connecting sector to standard model. We present search for reaction e+e−→γA′, A′→e+e−, μ+μ− using 514 fb−1 data collected with BABAR detector. observe no statistically significant deviations from model predictions, and we set 90% confidence level upper limits on mixing strength between at 10−4−10−3...

A new general purpose fixed target facility is proposed at the CERN SPS accelerator which aimed exploring domain of hidden particles and make measurements with tau neutrinos. Hidden are predicted by a large number models beyond Standard Model. The high intensity 400~GeV beam allows probing wide variety containing light long-lived exotic masses below ${\cal O}$(10)~GeV/c$^2$, including very weakly interacting low-energy SUSY states. experimental programme capable being extended in future,...

In this article we describe Professor, a new program for tuning model parameters of Monte Carlo event generators to experimental data by parameterising the per-bin generator response parameter variations and numerically optimising parameterised behaviour. Simulated analysis is obtained using Rivet toolkit. This paper presents Professor procedure implementation, illustrated with application method tunes Pythia 6 from LEP/SLD Tevatron experiments. These are substantial improvements on existing...

We perform a comprehensive statistical analysis of the standard model (SM) with three and four generations using latest Higgs search results from LHC Tevatron, electroweak precision observables measured at LEP SLD, determinations ${M}_{W}$, ${m}_{t}$, ${\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{s}$. For three-generation case we analyze tensions in fit by removing individual comparing their predicted values ones. In particular, discuss impact on deviations best-fit values.
