Description
Inspired by models designed to explain the top-quark foward-backward asymmetry, Daniel Whiteson discusses studies of unexplored experimental signatures inside WWbb+jet events, which mimic the top quark signature and may be hiding inside the top quark sample. Whiteson presents the first search for top+jet resonances, the first search to use boosted hadronic W bosons, new same-sign top quark limits, new heavy quark limits, and discuss ttbar+jet resonances, as well as the possibility that Higgs cascades could be hiding inside WWbb events.

Events with three or more prompt leptons are rare at hadron colliders. At the LHC, where high interaction energies and rates create extremely busy final states, such multilepton events are well suited as a probe for new physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). Mike Hance describes some recent...

The July 4th announcement of the discovery of a Higgs-like particle at CERN LHC is only the beginning of a challenging program of "Higgs Identification" to establish the quantum numbers and couplings of the new particle, and to reveal its relationship, if any, to electroweak symmetry-breaking and...

Jet substructure is typically studied using clustering algorithms, such as kT, which arrange the jets' constituents into trees. Instead of considering a single tree per jet, Tuhin Roy proposes that multiple trees should be considered, weighted by an appropriate metric. Then each jet in each event...
