Initial state radiation, multiple interactions, and event pileup can contaminate jets and degrade
event reconstruction. Here we introduce a procedure, jet trimming, designed to mitigate …

Recent experimental results from the CDF collaboration which study the top forward-backward
asymmetry have strengthened the case that new physics is playing a role in tt production. …

This document proposes a collection of simplified models relevant to the design of new-physics
searches at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the characterization of their results. …

We introduce a new class of jet algorithms designed to return conical jets with a variable
radius R. A specific example, in which R scales as 1/p T, proves particularly useful in capturing …

The possible use of liposomes as topical drug delivery vehicles for both water-and lipid-soluble
drugs has been investigated. Data for two characteristic drugs, penicillin G and indoxole, …

Knowing the charge of the parton initiating a light-quark jet could be extremely useful both
for testing aspects of the standard model and for characterizing potential beyond-the-standard-…

One of the greatest impediments to extracting useful information from high luminosity hadron-collider
data is radiation from secondary collisions (ie pileup) which can overlap with that of …

Elective mutism represents a relatively rare clinical syndrome in which children with normal
verbal capabilities totally refuse to speak in select settings for prolonged periods of time. It is …

Stop squarks with a mass just above the top’s and which decay to a nearly massless LSP
are difficult to probe because of the large SM di-top background. Here we discuss search …
