Energy peaks and decay lengths to measure the top quark mass

  In this talk I will present how the idea of energy-peak invariance, already applied at the jet-energy level, can be applied on the decay-length spectrum of B-hadrons produced at the LHC from top quarks to measure the top-quark mass without uncertainties from jet energy scale calibration and without any significant sensitivity to the precise dynamics governing top production at the LHC. These two uncertainties have played a major role in top-quark mass extraction so far, thus this method opens the way to new measurements with reduced uncertainty. I will also discuss in detail the possible theory uncertainties that affect this strategy and the necessary level of control on hadronization dynamics that is going to be needed to carry out this measurement.

EuPRAXIA Preparatory Phase Kick-off Meeting

FOR THOSE WHO WILL PARTICIPATE ON SITE, PLEASE BRING WITH YOU THE HARD COPY OF YOUR TICKET (DOWNLOADABLE FROM YOUR REGISTRATION FORM). THE QR CODE ON IT WILL BE USED FOR THE CHECK IN.   The Eupraxia preparatory Phase Kick-off Meeting will be hybrid, for those who will participate remotely a zoom link will be provided (already sent on Nov. 21) for those who are in presence the meeting will be held in Aula Touschek – LNF Auditorium (Bldg. 36). All participants (on site and remote) have to register through the website. NO REGISTRATION FEE is required to attend the meeting. EuPRAXIA, the European Plasma Research Accelerator with eXcellence In Applications, is a distributed, compact and innovative accelerator facility based on plasma technology. Based on its Conceptual Design Report, published in 2020, and its government support the EuPRAXIA Research Infrastructure has been selected as only particle accelerator project for the 2021 Roadmap Update of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI). In its first phase, its consortium will construct an electron beam-driven plasma accelerator in the metropolitan area of Rome, thus bringing innovation, potential for spin-off companies, state-of-the art scientific applications and a vibrant international user community to the middle of Italy. In its second phase, EuPRAXIA will build a laser-driven plasma accelerator at a site to be chosen between several options in Europe.  EuPRAXIA will serve users in ultra-fast science, e.g. on high-resolution medical imaging, deeply penetrating positron annihilation spectroscopy for materials and with Europe’s most southern free-electron laser (FEL). It will offer fascinating …

Determination of heavy mesons fragmentation functions

  We present the extraction of heavy mesons fragmentation functions using a phenomenological approach. For the first time, we calculate non-perturbative fragmentation functions for B and D mesons at NNLO in the so-called zero-mass variable-flavour-number scheme in QCD. We will also incorporate the effect of charmed-meson mass corrections and determine D-meson fragmentation functions by fitting LEP and SLD data. We present NNLO single-inclusive production cross sections in electron-positron annihilation and estimate the uncertainties by means of the Hessian approach. The comparison with other calculations is discussed as well.

The Hitchhiker’s Advanced Guide to Quantum Collapse Models and their impact in science, philosophy, technology and biology

                                                                                                 Image Credit: local_doctor/Shutterstock.com The aim of the workshop is to bring together theoreticians and experimentalists to discuss the present status of the collapse models, which were proposed as a solution of the measurement problem in quantum physics. We witnessed lot of progress recently in the studies of the collapse models. On the theoretical side new realistic dissipative and non-Markovian collapse models are being developed, in order to provide a glimpse on the physical mechanism driving the collapse. At the same time, experimentalists search for signatures of the proposed models with various and very different physical systems. Searches of anomalous heating, or of spontaneous radiation are performed in atomic, nuclear, and mesoscopic/macroscopic systems from underground laboratories to (planned) space-based experiments, together with interference-based experiments. The Hitchhiker’s Advanced Guide to Quantum Collapse Models workshop is targeted both for experts and, especially, for the young participants. It will bring together the communities working in quantum collapse with the aim to set up a synergetic effort towards progress in the field. Discussions of the impact of the collapse models in philosophy, technology and in biology, in particular the consciousness Orch OR model, will be stimulated. The workshop is organized with the support of the INFN-LNF, of the Foundational Questions Institute (Grants No. FQXi-RFP-CPW-2008 and FQXi-MGA-2102), of the John Templeton Foundation (Grant 62099) and of Comune di Frascati. The workshop will be organized if necessary in mixed modality (in presence and online) with a strong …
