Abstract:

Isolated photons with high transverse energy have been studied in deep inelastic ep scattering with the ZEUS detector at HERA, using an integrated luminosity of 326 pb−1 in the range of exchanged-photon virtuality 10-350 GeV2. Outgoing isolated photons with transverse energy 4 ≺ E T γ  ≺ 15 GeV and pseudorapidity − 0.7 ≺ η γ  ≺ 0.9 were measured with accompanying jets having transverse energy and pseudorapidity 2.5≺ E T jet ≺ 35 GeV and −1.5 ≺ ηjet ≺ 1.8, respectively. Differential cross sections are presented for the following variables: the fraction of the incoming photon energy and momentum that is transferred to the outgoing photon and the leading jet; the fraction of the incoming proton energy transferred to the photon and leading jet; the differences in azimuthal angle and pseudorapidity between the outgoing photon and the leading jet and between the outgoing photon and the scattered electron. Comparisons are made with theoretical predictions: a leading-logarithm Monte Carlo simulation, a next-to-leading-order QCD prediction, and a prediction using the k T -factorisation approach.

Abstract:

© CERN, for the benefit of the ATLAS-CMS Collaboration. This paper presents combinations of inclusive and differential measurements of the charge asymmetry (AC) in top quark pair (tt) events with a lepton+jets signature by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations, using data from LHC proton-proton collisions at centreof- mass energies of 7 and 8TeV. The data correspond to integrated luminosities of about 5 and 20 fb–1for each experiment, respectively. The resulting combined LHC measurements of the inclusive charge asymmetry are ACLHC7= 0:005±0:007 (stat) ±0:006 (syst) at 7TeV and ACLHC7= 0:0055 ± 0:0023 (stat) ± 0:0025 (syst) at 8TeV. These values, as well as the combination of ACmeasurements as a function of the invariant mass of the [formula presented] system at 8TeV, are consistent with the respective standard model predictions.

Electroweak measurements at the tevatron

Abstract:

The Fermilab Tevatron produced proton-antiproton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of √s = 1.96 TeV between 2001 and 2011. Using an integrated luminosity of ≈ 10 fb−1 collected by each of the general-purpose experiments CDF and D0, many precision measurements were performed. I present the Tevatron's highest-precision electroweak measurements: the final combined measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry of charged leptons from Z-boson decays, and the ongoing measurements of the W boson mass and the charge-asymmetry of leptons from its decays.
