Probes for 4th Generation Constituents of Dark Atoms in Higgs Boson Studies at the LHC by M. Yu. Khlopov, R. M. Shibaev

“…However, the existence of the 4th generation quarks and leptons should influence the production and decay rates of Higgs boson and is ruled out by the experimental results of the Higgs boson searches at the LHC, if the Higgs boson coupling to 4th generation fermions is not suppressed. …”

Search for the Anomalous tqγ and tqH Couplings in γp Collision at the LHC by B. Şahin

“…We have investigated the constraints on the anomalous tqγ and tqH  (q=u,c) couplings through the photoproduction processes pp→pγp→ptγX→pbl+νlγX and pp→pγp→ptHX→pbl+νlbb-X at the LHC. We have obtained 95% confidence level bounds on the anomalous couplings by considering various values of detector acceptances and integrated luminosities. …”

Centrality Dependence of Chemical Freeze-Out Parameters and Strangeness Equilibration in RHIC and LHC Energies by Deeptak Biswas

“…We have estimated centrality variation of chemical freeze-out parameters from yield data at midrapidity of π±, K± and p, p¯ for collision energies of RHIC (Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider), Beam Energy Scan (RHIC-BES) program, and LHC (Large Hadron Collider). We have considered a simple hadron resonance gas model and employed a formalism involving conserved charges (B,Q,S) of QCD for parameterization. …”

LHC Signals of the Next-to-Lightest Scalar Higgs State of the NMSSM in the 4τ Decay Channel by M. M. Almarashi

“…We study the a1a1 and Za1 decay channels of the next-to-lightest CP-even Higgs boson h2 of the NMSSM at the LHC, where the h2 is produced in gluon fusion. It is found that while the h2 discovery is impossible through the latter channel, the former one in the 4τ final state is a promising channel to discover the h2 with masses up to around 250 GeV at the LHC. …”

Gauge-Singlet Vector-Like Fermion Dark Matter, LHC Diphoton Rate, and Direct Detection by Shrihari Gopalakrishna, Tuhin Subhra Mukherjee

“…We find that the Higgs-portal possibility is stringently constrained to be small by the recent LHC di-Higgs search limits, and the loop induced couplings are important to include. …”

The Unified Hydrodynamics and the Pseudorapidity Distributions in Heavy Ion Collisions at BNL-RHIC and CERN-LHC Energies by Z. J. Jiang, J. Wang, K. Ma, H. L. Zhang

“…The rapidity distributions of the charged particles from these two parts are formulated analytically, and a comparison is made between the theoretical results and the experimental measurements performed in Au-Au and Pb-Pb collisions at the respective BNL-RHIC and CERN-LHC energies. The theoretical results are well consistent with experimental data.…”
