Jet substructure is playing a central role at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) probing the Standard Model in extreme regions of phase space and providing innovative ways to search for new physics. Analytic calculations of experimentally successful observables are a primary catalyst driving developments in jet substructure, allowing for a deeper understanding of observables and for the exploitation of increasingly subtle features of jets. In this paper we present a field theoretic framework enabling systematically improvable calculations of groomed multi-prong substructure observables, which builds on recent developments in multi-scale effective theories. We use this framework to compute for the first time the full spectrum for groomed tagging observables at the LHC, carefully treating both perturbative and non-perturbative contributions in all regions. Our analysis enables a precision understanding which we hope will improve the reach and sophistication of jet substructure techniques at the LHC.

The production of two weak bosons at the Large Hadron Collider will be one of the most important sources of SM backgrounds for final states with multiple leptons. In this paper we consider several quantities that can help normalize the production of weak boson pairs. Ratios of inclusive cross-sections for production of two weak bosons and Drell-Yan are investigated and the corresponding theoretical errors are evaluated. The possibility of predicting the jet veto survival probability of VV production from Drell-Yan data is also considered. Overall, the theoretical errors on all quantities remain less than 5-20%. The dependence of these quantities on the center of mass energy of the proton-proton collision is also studied.
Based on the recent RHIC and LHC experimental results, the $langle p_Trangle$ dependence of identified light flavour charged hadrons on $sqrt{(frac{dN}{dy})/S_{perp}}$, relevant scale in gluon saturation picture, is studied from $sqrt{s_{NN}}$=7.7 GeV up to 5.02 TeV. This study is extended to the slopes of the $langle p_Trangle$ dependence on the particle mass and the $langlebeta_Trangle$ parameter from Boltzmann-Gibbs Blast Wave (BGBW) fits of the $p_T$ spectra. A systematic decrease of the slope of the $langle p_Trangle$ dependence on $sqrt{(frac{dN}{dy})/S_{perp}}$ from BES to the LHC energies is evidenced. While for the RHIC energies, within the experimental errors, the $langle p_Trangle$/$sqrt{(frac{dN}{dy})/S_{perp}}$ does not depend on centrality, at the LHC energies a deviation from a linear behaviour is observed towards the most central collisions. The influence of the corona contribution to the observed trends is discussed. The slopes of the $langle p_Trangle$ particle mass dependence and the $langlebeta_Trangle$ parameter from BGBW fits scale well with $sqrt{(frac{dN}{dy})/S_{perp}}$. Similar systematic trends for pp at $sqrt{s}$=7 TeV are in a good agreement with the ones corresponding to Pb-Pb collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$=2.76 TeV and 5.02 TeV pointing to a system size independent behaviour.
Charged lepton pairs are produced copiously in high-energy hadron collisions via electroweak gauge boson exchange, and are one of the most precisely measured final states in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We propose that measurements of lepton angular distributions can be used to improve the accuracy of theoretical predictions for Higgs boson production cross sections at the LHC. To this end, we exploit the sensitivity of the lepton angular coefficient associated with the longitudinal Z-boson polarization to the parton density function (PDF) for gluons resolved from the incoming protons, in order to constrain the Higgs boson cross section from gluon fusion processes. By a detailed numerical analysis using the open-source platform xFitter, we find that high-statistics determinations of the longitudinally polarized angular coefficient at the LHC Run III and high-luminosity HL-LHC improve the PDF systematic uncertainties of the Higgs boson cross section predictions by 50% over a broad range of Higgs boson rapidities.
We analyze the measured spectra of $pi^pm$, $K^pm$, $p$($bar p$) in $pp$ collisions at $sqrt {s}$ = 0.9, 2.76 and 7 TeV, in the light of blast-wave model to extract the transverse radial flow velocity and kinetic temperature at freeze-out for the system formed in $pp$ collisions. The dependency of the blast-wave parameters on average charged particle multiplicity of event sample or the `centrality of collisions has been studied and compared with results of similar analysis in nucleus-nucleus ($AA$) and proton-nucleus ($pA$) collisions. We analyze the spectra of $K_{s}^0$, $Lambda$($bar Lambda$) and $Xi^-$ also to see the dependence of blast-wave description on the species of produced particles. Within the framework of the blast-wave model, the study reveals indication of collective behavior for high-multiplicity events in $pp$ collisions at LHC. Strong transverse radial flow in high multiplicity $pp$ collisions and its comparison with that in $pA$ and $AA$ collisions match with predictions from a very recent theoretical work [Shuryak and Zahed 2013 arXiv:1301.4470] that addresses the conditions for applicability of hydrodynamics in $pp$ and $pA$ collisions.
We investigate new physics scenarios where systems comprised of a single top quark accompanied by missing transverse energy, dubbed monotops, can be produced at the LHC. Following a simplified model approach, we describe all possible monotop production modes via an effective theory and estimate the sensitivity of the LHC, assuming 20 fb$^{-1}$ of collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, to the observation of a monotop state. Considering both leptonic and hadronic top quark decays, we show that large fractions of the parameter space are reachable and that new physics particles with masses ranging up to 1.5 TeV can leave hints within the 2012 LHC dataset, assuming moderate new physics coupling strengths.
