 2019-03-1911:12 [PUBDB-2019-01605] Report/Journal Article Pankov, A. A. Improved constraints on the mixing and mass of $Z'$ bosons from resonant diboson searches at the LHC at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV and predictions for Run II [DESY-18-170; arXiv:1809.08933] Physical review / D 98(9), 095029 (2018) [10.1103/PhysRevD.98.095029]   New neutral vector bosons Z′ decaying to charged gauge boson pairs W$^+$W$^-$ are predicted in many scenarios of new physics, including models with an extended gauge sector such as E6, left-right symmetric ZLRS′ and the sequential standard model ZSSM′. For these benchmark models we calculate and present theoretical expectations for different values of the Z′ mass M2 and mixing parameter ξ.

Scalar 1-loop Feynman integrals as meromorphic functions in space-time dimension d [DESY 17-079, HCMUS-19-01, KW 18-004, arXiv:1812.10975] Physics letters / B 791, 257 - 264 (2019) [10.1016/j.physletb.2019.02.044]   The long-standing problem of representing the general massive one-loop Feynman integral as a meromorphic function of the space-time dimension d has been solved for the basis of scalar one- to four-point functions with indices one. In 2003 the solution of difference equations in the space-time dimension allowed to determine the necessary classes of special functions: self-energies need ordinary logarithms and Gauss hypergeometric functions $_{2}F_1$, vertices need additionally Kampé de Fériet-Appell functions $F_1$, and box integrals also Lauricella-Saran functions $F_S$ [...] OpenAccess: PDF PDF (PDFA); 2019-03-1415:57 [PUBDB-2019-01551] Preprint/Report Marquard, P. Five-Loop Static Contribution to the Gravitational Interaction Potential of Two Point Masses [arXiv:1902.11180; DESY-19-029; DO-TH-19/01]   We compute the static contribution to the gravitational interaction potential of two point masses in the velocity-independent five-loop (and 5th post-Newtonian) approximation to the harmonic coordinates effective action in a direct calculation. The computation is performed using effective field methods based on Feynman diagrams in momentum-space in $d = 3 - 2\varepsilon$ space dimensions.

In combination with a conventional fixed-order event generator, HEJ 2 can be used to obtain greatly improved predictions for a number of phenomenologically important processes by adding all-order logarithmic corrections in $\hat{s}/p_\perp^2$. [...] OpenAccess: PDF PDF (PDFA); 2019-03-1415:26 [PUBDB-2019-01546] Preprint/Report et al Conformal field theory and the hot phase of three-dimensional U(1) gauge theory [arXiv:1903.00491; DESY-19-027]   We study the high-temperature phase of compact U(1) gauge theory in 2+1 dimensions, comparing the results of lattice calculations with analytical predictions from the conformal-field-theory description of the low-temperature phase of the bidimensional XY model. We focus on the two-point correlation functions of probe charges and the field-strength operator, finding excellent quantitative agreement with the functional form and the continuously varying critical indices predicted by conformal field theory..

We use realistic evolved non-perturbative fragmentation functions obtained from fits to B-meson production in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation and compare our results for transverse-momentum and rapidity distributions with recent experimental data from the CMS and the LHCb collaborations at the CERN LHC.

The correction is represented in terms of iterated incomplete elliptic integrals.

The measurements are based on data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC.

These combinations are performed per centre-of-mass energy and for each production mode: $t$-channel, $tW$, and $s$-channel.
