High Energy Physics - Phenomenology
Abstract

We report on the complete computation of the mixed QCD-electroweak corrections to the neutral-current Drell-Yan process. Our calculation holds in the entire range of dilepton invariant masses. We present phenomenological results for several kinematical distributions in the case of bare muons both in the resonant region and for high invariant masses. We also consider the forward-backward asymmetry, which is a key observable to measure the weak mixing angle. We finally extend our calculation to dressed leptons and compare our results in the massless limit to those available in the literature., Comment: 27 pages, 7 Figures, and 2 Tables

Abstract

An optimization-based strategy is proposed for coupling three-dimensional and one-dimensional problems (3D-1D coupling) in the context of soil-root interaction simulations. This strategy, originally designed to tackle generic 3D-1D coupled problems with discontinuous solutions, is here extended to the case of non-linear problems and applied, for the first time, along with a virtual element discretization of the 3D soil sample. This further enhances the capability of the method to handle geometrical complexities, allowing to easily mesh domains characterized, for instance, by the presence of stones and other impervious obstacles of arbitrary shape. A discrete-hybrid tip-tracking strategy is adopted to model both the root growth and the evolution in time of the water flux, the pressure head and the water content, both in the roots and in the surrounding soil sample. By choosing proper rules for the generation of branches, realistic root-network configurations are obtained. Several numerical examples are proposed, proving both the accuracy of the adopted method and its applicability in realistic and large scale simulations.

Abstract

PURPOSE: Upper airway (UA) surgery is commonly employed in the treatment of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The intricate pathophysiology of OSA, variability in sites and patterns of UA collapse, and the interaction between anatomical and non-anatomical factors in individual patients may contribute to possible surgical failures. This clinical consensus statement aims to identify areas of agreement among a development group comprising international experts in OSA surgery, regarding the appropriate definition, predictive factors in patients, and management of surgical failure in OSA treatment. METHODS: A clinical consensus statement (CCS) was developed using the Delphi method by a panel of 35 contributors from various countries. A systematic literature review adhering to PRISMA guidelines was conducted. A survey consisting of 60 statements was then formulated and presented to the experts. RESULTS: Following two rounds of the Delphi process, consensus or strong consensus was achieved on 36 items, while 24 items remained without consensus. Specifically, 5 out of 10 statements reached consensus regarding on the Definition of Surgical Success/Failure after OSA Surgery. Regarding the Predictive Factors of Surgical Failure in OSA Surgery, consensus was reached on 10 out of 13 statements. In the context of the Diagnostic Workup in OSA Surgery, consensus was achieved on 9 out of 13 statements. Lastly, in Treatment in Surgical Failure Cases, consensus was reached on 12 out of 24 statements. CONCLUSION: The management of OSA after surgical failure presents a significant clinical challenge for sleep specialists. This CCS provides valuable guidance for defining, preventing, and addressing surgical failures in the treatment of OSA syndrome.

4. From angular coefficients to quantum observables: a phenomenological appraisal in di-boson systems

Abstract

Motivated by the growing interest in accessing the spin structure of multi-boson processes and in measuring quantum entanglement at high energies, we study polarisation and spin-correlation coefficients in di-boson systems. We show that higher-order corrections of QCD and electroweak type, off-shell modelling, and realistic effects such as fiducial selections and neutrino reconstruction are unavoidable to properly determine such coefficients, and consequently to provide a sound interpretation of observables sensitive to quantum entanglement and Bell-inequality violation. Our findings are based on a detailed phenomenological analysis of boson pairs at the LHC, either in inclusive electroweak production or coming from Higgs-boson decays.

Subjects
High Energy Physics - Phenomenology
Abstract

We numerically integrate finite two- and three-loop scalar integrals using the threshold subtraction method. This represents a first step towards extending our calculation of the $N_f$-part to the full NNLO virtual corrections for the production of massive vector bosons., Comment: Contribution to proceedings of the Loops and Legs in Quantum Field Theory conference (LL2024)

6. $N_f$-contribution to the virtual correction for electroweak vector boson production at NNLO

Author

Subjects
High Energy Physics - Phenomenology
Abstract

Multi-loop scattering amplitudes are difficult to evaluate due to singularities of the integrals involved, especially with increasing number of loops, external legs, and mass scales. For the first time at two loops, we enable their direct numerical integration by tackling infrared, ultraviolet and threshold singularities simultaneously using local subtractions. We demonstrate the feasibility of our approach by calculating previously unknown perturbative corrections for processes of interest to the Large Hadron Collider., Comment: 52 pages, 4 figures, 7 tables

7. 3D Adaptive VEM with stabilization-free a posteriori error bounds

Abstract

The present paper extends the theory of Adaptive Virtual Element Methods (AVEMs) to the three-dimensional meshes showing the possibility to bound the stabilization term by the residual-type error estimator. This new bound enables a stabilization-free a posteriori control for the energy error. Following the recent studies for the bi-dimensional case, we investigate the case of tetrahedral elements with aligned edges and faces. We believe that the AVEMs can be an efficient strategy to address the mesh conforming requirements of standard three-dimensional Adaptive Finite Element Methods (AFEMs), which typically extend the refinement procedure to non-marked mesh cells. Indeed, numerical tests on the Fichera corner shape domain show that this method can reduce the number of three-dimensional cells generated in the refinement process by about 30% with compared to standard AFEMs, for a given error threshold.

Abstract

We present the two-loop mixed strong-electroweak virtual corrections to the charged current Drell-Yan process. The final-state collinear singularities are regularised by the lepton mass. The evaluation of all the relevant Feynman integrals, including those with up to two different internal massive lines, has been worked out relying on semi-analytical techniques, using complex-valued masses. We can provide, at any arbitrary phase-space point, the solution as a power series in the $W$-boson mass, around a reference value. Starting from these expansions, we can prepare a numerical grid for any value of the $W$-boson mass within their radius of convergence in a negligible amount of time., Comment: 26 pages, 7 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2201.01754

Abstract

Experiments aimed at direct searches for WIMP dark matter require highly effective reduction of backgrounds and control of any residual radioactive contamination. In particular, neutrons interacting with atomic nuclei represent an important class of backgrounds due to the expected similarity of a WIMP-nucleon interaction, so that such experiments often feature a dedicated neutron detector surrounding the active target volume. In the context of the development of DarkSide-20k detector at INFN Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS), several R&D projects were conceived and developed for the creation of a new hybrid material rich in both hydrogen and gadolinium nuclei to be employed as an essential element of the neutron detector. Thanks to its very high cross-section for neutron capture, gadolinium is one of the most widely used elements in neutron detectors, while the hydrogen-rich material is instrumental in efficiently moderating the neutrons. In this paper results from one of the R&Ds are presented. In this effort the new hybrid material was obtained as a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) matrix, loaded with gadolinium oxide in the form of nanoparticles. We describe its realization, including all phases of design, purification, construction, characterization, and determination of mechanical properties of the new material.

16. Mesh Optimization for the Virtual Element Method: How Small Can an Agglomerated Mesh Become?

Abstract

We present an optimization procedure for generic polygonal or polyhedral meshes, tailored for the Virtual Element Method (VEM). Once the local quality of the mesh elements is analyzed through a quality indicator specific to the VEM, groups of elements are agglomerated to optimize the global mesh quality. The resulting discretization is significantly lighter: we can remove up to 80$\%$ of the mesh elements, based on a user-set parameter, thus reducing the number of faces, edges, and vertices. This results in a drastic reduction of the total number of degrees of freedom associated with a discrete problem defined over the mesh with the VEM, in particular, for high-order formulations. We show how the VEM convergence rate is preserved in the optimized meshes, and the approximation errors are comparable with those obtained with the original ones. We observe that the optimization has a regularization effect over low-quality meshes, removing the most pathological elements. This regularization effect is evident in cases where the original meshes cause the VEM to diverge, while the optimized meshes lead to convergence. We conclude by showing how the optimization of a real CAD model can be used effectively in the simulation of a time-dependent problem.

Abstract

In the present work we introduce a novel refinement algorithm for two-dimensional elliptic partial differential equations discretized with Virtual Element Method (VEM). The algorithm improves the numerical solution accuracy and the mesh quality through a controlled refinement strategy applied to the generic polygonal elements of the domain tessellation. The numerical results show that the outlined strategy proves to be versatile and applicable to any two-dimensional problem where polygonal meshes offer advantages. In particular, we focus on the simulation of flow in fractured media, specifically using the Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) model. A residual a-posteriori error estimator tailored for the DFN case is employed. We chose this particular application to emphasize the effectiveness of the algorithm in handling complex geometries. All the numerical tests demonstrate optimal convergence rates for all the tested VEM orders.

Abstract

The computational cost associated with reducing tensor integrals to scalar integrals using the Passarino-Veltman method is dominated by the diagonalisation of large systems of equations. These systems of equations are sized according to the number of independent tensor elements that can be constructed using the metric and external momenta. In this article, we present a closed-form solution of this diagonalisation problem in arbitrary tensor integrals. We employ a basis of tensors whose building blocks are the external momentum vectors and a metric tensor transverse to the space of external momenta. The scalar integral coefficients of the basis tensors are obtained by mapping the basis elements to the elements of an orthogonaldual basis. This mapping is succinctly expressed through a formula that resembles the ordering of operators in Wick's theorem. Finally, we provide examples demonstrating the application of our tensor reduction formula to Feynman diagrams in QCD $2 \to 2$ scattering processes, specifically up to three loops., Comment: Version submitted to journal for publication.

Abstract

The compatibility of W-boson mass measurements performed by the ATLAS, LHCb, CDF, and D0 experiments is studied using a coherent framework with theory uncertainty correlations. The measurements are combined using a number of recent sets of parton distribution functions (PDF), and are further combined with the average value of measurements from the Large Electron-Positron collider. The considered PDF sets generally have a low compatibility with a suite of global rapidity-sensitive Drell-Yan measurements. The most compatible set is CT18 due to its larger uncertainties. A combination of all mW measurements yields a value of mW = 80394.6 +- 11.5 MeV with the CT18 set, but has a probability of compatibility of 0.5% and is therefore disfavoured. Combinations are performed removing each measurement individually, and a 91% probability of compatibility is obtained when the CDF measurement is removed. The corresponding value of the W boson mass is 80369.2 +- 13.3 MeV, which differs by 3.6 sigma from the CDF value determined using the same PDF set., Comment: Submitted to EPJC

Abstract

The weak mixing angle is a probe of the vector-axial coupling structure of electroweak interactions. It has been measured precisely at the $Z$-pole by experiments at the LEP and SLD colliders, but its energy dependence above $M_Z$ remains unconstrained. In this contribution we propose to exploit measurements of Neutral-Current Drell Yan at large invariant dilepton masses at the Large Hadron Collider, to determine the scale dependence of the weak mixing angle in the $\overline{MS}$ renormalisation scheme, $\sin^2 \theta_w^{\overline{MS}}(\mu)$. Such a measurement can be used to test the Standard Model predictions for the $\overline{MS}$ running at TeV scales, and to set model-independent constraints on new states with electroweak quantum numbers. To this end, we present an implementation of $\sin^2 \theta_w^{\overline{MS}}(\mu)$ in the POWHEG-BOX Monte Carlo event generator, which we use to explore the potential of future analyses with the LHC Run~3 and High-Luminosity datasets. In particular, the impact of the higher order corrections and of the uncertainties due to the knowledge of parton distribution functions are studied., Comment: Presented at DIS2023 - XXX International Workshop on Deep-Inelastic Scattering and related subjects; minor modifications to the references included

Abstract

For the 2D and 3D Virtual Element Methods (VEM), a new approach to improve the conditioning of local and global matrices in the presence of badly-shaped polytopes is proposed. It defines the local projectors and the local degrees of freedom with respect to a set of scaled monomials recomputed on more well-shaped polytopes. This new approach is less computationally demanding than using the orthonormal polynomial basis. The effectiveness of our procedure is tested on different numerical examples characterized by challenging geometries of increasing complexity.

Abstract

Measurements of neutral current Drell-Yan production at large invariant dilepton masses can be used to test the energy scale dependence (running) of the electroweak mixing angle. In this work, we make use of a novel implementation of the full next-to-leading order electroweak radiative corrections to the Drell-Yan process using the $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ renormalization scheme for the electroweak mixing angle. The potential of future analyses using proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13.6~\mathrm{TeV}$ in the Run 3 and High-Luminosity phases of the LHC is explored. In this way, the Standard Model predictions for the $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ running at $\mathrm{TeV}$ scales can be probed.

Abstract

ObjectivesA prospective interventional study was designed to describe our series of patients with submandibular stones undergoing sialendoscopy-assisted TORSS (trans-oral robotic salivary surgery) by means of Si or Xi Da Vinci robotic system between January 2019 and June 2023, in order to assess safety and effectiveness of the procedure.Methods54 adult patients with submandibular stones undergoing sialendoscopy-assisted TORSS between January 2019-June 2023.ResultsThe global success rate was 81.5%, with better surgical outcomes in patients with palpable hilar/hilo-parenchymal stones compared to non-palpable pure parenchymal ones (92.7 vs. 46.2%). In addition, the mean stone size in cases failing TORSS was smaller than that documented in successfully treated patients (7.8 ± 1.8 vs. 9.8 ± 2.4 mm). No major untoward effects were observed (transitory lingual nerve dysfunction in 3 patients undergoing Xi Da Vinci surgery). A positive outcome in terms of post-operative surgical pain, patient's satisfaction and recovery time was observed.ConclusionsIntrinsic stone features (such as size, location/palpability) seems to be predictor for surgical success; an accurate pre-operative planning is mandatory to better select which patient can benefit most from TORSS procedure.

Abstract

Teff farming in Ethiopia is commonly seen as being dominated by men, with women playing supporting roles on some aspects of the growing process. This study is rooted in existing literature on drivers of Best Practices (BP) adoption and decision-making theory and is unique in that it focuses primarily on understanding how gender-specific factors influence decision-making on the adoption of BPs. To this end, the study assessed the intra-household gender dynamics at play within farming households in Amhara, Ethiopia, and their influence on deciding whether or not to adopt agricultural best practices for teff farming. These gender dynamics include the division of labor between women and men, intra-household decision-making processes, social and cultural norms and access factors (such as access to information, training, credit and control over income). Using data from a three-round quantitative survey with one woman and one man in 555 households, as well as focus group discussions and in-depth interviews, this study is uniquely placed to assess the impact of these gender-specific and intra-household factors on the adoption of best practices. The findings show that households where women are more involved in teff farming, have less input into decision-making, less control over income, and more access to information and adopt on average more best practices. However, there is significant heterogeneity when looking at individual best practices, with women's decision-making power or access to resources particularly important for specific practices such as sowing in rows. This study implies that designing more gender-sensitive agricultural programs and extension services in Ethiopia--specifically on practices relevant to women and men--can increase best practice adoption, with the ultimate aim of increasing productivity and income for teff farming households, and empowering women. Since male and female farmers are involved in different practices, access to resources and decision-making power have different impacts depending on the gender of the respondent and the practice analyzed, and there is no 'one size fits all' solution to improve teff farming productivity. Key words: intra-household dynamics, decision-making, gender roles, best practice adoption, teff, INTRODUCTION Teff is one of the most important cereal crops in Ethiopia, accounting for twelve percent of Ethiopians' food expenditures [1]. Teff farmers, therefore, play a critical role in feeding [...]

Abstract

We introduce an observable relevant for the determination of the $W$-boson mass $m_W$ at hadron colliders. This observable is defined as an asymmetry around the jacobian peak of the charged-lepton transverse-momentum distribution in the charged-current Drell-Yan process. We discuss the observable's theoretical prediction, presenting results at different orders in QCD, and showing its perturbative stability. Its definition as a single scalar number and its linear sensitivity to $m_W$ allow a clean extraction of the latter and a straightforward discussion of the associated theoretical systematics: a perturbative QCD uncertainty of ${\cal O}(\pm 5)$ MeV on $m_W$ can be established by means of this observable, relying solely on charged-current Drell-Yan information. Owing to its relatively inclusive nature, the observable displays desirable properties also from the experimental viewpoint, especially for the unfolding of detector effects. We show that a measurement of this observable can lead to a competitive experimental error on $m_W$ at the LHC., Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures. Final version published in EPJC

37. POD-based reduced order methods for optimal control problems governed by parametric partial differential equation with varying boundary control

Abstract

In this work we propose tailored model order reduction for varying boundary optimal control problems governed by parametric partial differential equations. With varying boundary control, we mean that a specific parameter changes where the boundary control acts on the system. This peculiar formulation might benefit from model order reduction. Indeed, fast and reliable simulations of this model can be of utmost usefulness in many applied fields, such as geophysics and energy engineering. However, varying boundary control features very complicated and diversified parametric behaviour for the state and adjoint variables. The state solution, for example, changing the boundary control parameter, might feature transport phenomena. Moreover, the problem loses its affine structure. It is well known that classical model order reduction techniques fail in this setting, both in accuracy and in efficiency. Thus, we propose reduced approaches inspired by the ones used when dealing with wave-like phenomena. Indeed, we compare standard proper orthogonal decomposition with two tailored strategies: geometric recasting and local proper orthogonal decomposition. Geometric recasting solves the optimization system in a reference domain simplifying the problem at hand avoiding hyper-reduction, while local proper orthogonal decomposition builds local bases to increase the accuracy of the reduced solution in very general settings (where geometric recasting is unfeasible). We compare the various approaches on two different numerical experiments based on geometries of increasing complexity.

Abstract

A timely and long-term programme of kaon decay measurements at a new level of precision is presented, leveraging the capabilities of the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). The proposed programme is firmly anchored on the experience built up studying kaon decays at the SPS over the past four decades, and includes rare processes, CP violation, dark sectors, symmetry tests and other tests of the Standard Model. The experimental programme is based on a staged approach involving experiments with charged and neutral kaon beams, as well as operation in beam-dump mode. The various phases will rely on a common infrastructure and set of detectors., Comment: Letter of Intent submitted to CERN SPSC. Address all correspondence to hike-eb@cern.ch

39. Probing the Weak Mixing Angle at high energies at the LHC

Abstract

The electroweak mixing angle is a fundamental parameter of the theory of electroweak interactions. Its value has been measured precisely at the $\mathrm{Z}$-pole at colliders. In this contribution, we propose to exploit measurements of Neutral-Current Drell-Yan production at the Large Hadron Collider at large invariant dilepton masses to determine the energy scale dependence (running) of the electroweak mixing angle in the $\bar{\text{MS}}$ renormalisation scheme, $\sin^2\theta_{W,\ell}^{\bar{\text{MS}}}(\mu)$. Such a measurement can be used to confirm the Standard Model predictions for the $\bar{\text{MS}}$ running at $\text{TeV}$ scales, and to set model-independent constraints on new states with electroweak quantum numbers. To this end, we make use of a dedicated implementation of $\sin^2\theta_{W,\ell}^{\bar{\text{MS}}}(\mu)$ in the POWHEG-BOX-V2 Monte Carlo event generator, which we use to explore the potential of future analyses using the data of the LHC Run 3 and High-Luminosity., Comment: To appear in the Proceedings of the 41st International Conference on High Energy physics - ICHEP2022, Bologna, Italy, 6-13 July, 2022

Abstract

Abstract We present the two-loop mixed strong-electroweak virtual corrections to the charged current Drell-Yan process. The final-state collinear singularities are regularised by the lepton mass. The evaluation of all the relevant Feynman integrals, including those with up to two different internal massive lines, has been worked out relying on semi-analytical techniques, using complex-valued masses. We can provide, at any arbitrary phase-space point, the solution as a power series in the W-boson mass, around a reference value. Starting from these expansions, we can prepare a numerical grid for any value of the W-boson mass within their radius of convergence in a negligible amount of time.

Abstract

Abstract The compatibility of W-boson mass measurements performed by the ATLAS, LHCb, CDF, and D0 experiments is studied using a coherent framework with theory uncertainty correlations. The measurements are combined using a number of recent sets of parton distribution functions (PDF), and are further combined with the average value of measurements from the Large Electron–Positron collider. The considered PDF sets generally have a low compatibility with a suite of global rapidity-sensitive Drell–Yan measurements. The most compatible set is CT18 due to its larger uncertainties. A combination of all $$m_W$$ m W measurements yields a value of $$m_W = 80{,}394.6 \pm 11.5$$ m W = 80 , 394.6 ± 11.5 MeV with the CT18 set, but has a probability of compatibility of 0.5% and is therefore disfavoured. Combinations are performed removing each measurement individually, and a 91% probability of compatibility is obtained when the CDF measurement is removed. The corresponding value of the W boson mass is $$80{,}369.2 \pm 13.3$$ 80 , 369.2 ± 13.3 MeV, which differs by $$3.6\sigma $$ 3.6 σ from the CDF value determined using the same PDF set.

46. Mesh Quality Agglomeration algorithm for the Virtual Element Method applied to Discrete Fracture Networks

Abstract

We propose a quality-based optimization strategy to reduce the total number of degrees of freedom associated to a discrete problem defined over a polygonal tessellation with the Virtual Element Method. The presented Quality Agglomeration algorithm relies only on the geometrical properties of the problem polygonal mesh, agglomerating groups of neighboring elements. We test this approach in the context of fractured porous media, in which the generation of a global conforming mesh on a Discrete Fracture Network leads to a considerable number of unknowns, due to the presence of highly complex geometries and the significant size of the computational domains. We show the efficiency and the robustness of our approach, applied independently on each fracture for different network configurations, exploiting the flexibility of the Virtual Element Method in handling general polygonal elements.

47. Solving Inverse PDE Problems using Grid-Free Monte Carlo Estimators

Abstract

Modeling physical phenomena like heat transport and diffusion is crucially dependent on the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs). A PDE solver finds the solution given coefficients and a boundary condition, whereas an inverse PDE solver goes the opposite way and reconstructs these inputs from an existing solution. In this article, we investigate techniques for solving inverse PDE problems using a gradient-based methodology. Conventional PDE solvers based on the finite element method require a domain meshing step that can be fragile and costly. Grid-free Monte Carlo methods instead stochastically sample paths using variations of the walk on spheres algorithm to construct an unbiased estimator of the solution. The uncanny similarity of these methods to physically-based rendering algorithms has been observed by several recent works. In the area of rendering, recent progress has led to the development of efficient unbiased derivative estimators. They solve an adjoint form of the problem and exploit arithmetic invertibility to compute gradients using a constant amount of memory and linear time complexity. Could these two lines of work be combined to compute cheap parametric derivatives of a grid-free PDE solver? We investigate this question and present preliminary results., Comment: 9 pages (2 pages references and appendix), 9 figures
