  2. Shall roughly follow the sequence given here } Man-made machines • Focus on what I found interesting, detailed at http://www-conf.slac.stanford.edu/lp13

  3. Let’s start with QCD } Man-made machines

  4. Inclusive jet and dijet measurements H.D. Yoo } Man-made machines • Complimentary to inclusive jet measurement • m12 is the dijet invariant mass and y is half the absolute rapidity difference between the two leading jets • Data and theory are in agreement to ~10% with various PDFs

  5. s keeps on running... H.D. Yoo • Ratio of the inclusive 3-jet to inclusive 2-jet cross section (R32) with the average pT of the two leading jets (<pT1,2>) ranging between 0.42 and 1.39 TeV • First determination of s from measurements at a Q value above 0.6 TeV • Good agreement with the world average value of s(mZ) = 0.11840.0007 } Man-made machines • Similar results from ATLAS

  7. A bit on hadron spectroscopy } Man-made machines

  8. C.Z. Yuan What is the X(3872)? Discovered in 2003 • Mass (3871.680.17 MeV): Close toD0D*0threshold • Width (< 1.2 MeV, CL=90%): Narrow • Production • In pp/ppcollisions – rate similar to charmonia • In B decays – KX similar to cc, K*X smaller than cc • Decay BF: open charm ~ 50%, charmonia~ few % • Nature (very likely exotic) • LooselyD0D*0 bound state (like deuteron)? • Mixture of excited c1 andD0D*0 bound state? • Many other possibilities: tetraquarketc.? • Find out JPC assignment out of the remaining two possibilities: 1++ and 2+to pin down its nature (2S) X(3872) M(+J/) –M(J/) [GeV]

  12. Probing CP violation in charm decays } Man-made machines R. Oldeman

  13. Is it SM or NP? – a theorist prescription J.F. Kamenik } Man-made machines • RSM is not expected to be greater than 1 for mc >> QCD, but not impossible if we treat the charm-quark to be light • Check:

  14. Another enigma: semileptonic asymmetry } Man-made machines • Bottom-line: R. Oldeman

  15. Current status of the Unitarity triangle M. Roney } Man-made machines

  16. A tantalizing result on B  D() M. Roney PRL 109, 101802 (2012) } Man-made machines Type-II 2HDM BaBar • If the discrepancy with SM holds up, the result cannot be explained by type-II 2HDM; excluded over the full parameter space at 99.8% CL • But can be accommodated in more general extensions of type-III 2HDM

  17. Bs+: almost like a litmus test } Man-made machines G. Mancinelli • Highly sensitive to extended Higgs model and MSSM at large tan region

  18. First evidence for Bs + G. Mancinelli } Man-made machines • Consistent with the SM expectation (3.28109) • Set an upper limit on BF(B0 +) < 9.41010at 95% confidence level

  19. Recently CMS also came with a bang! U. Langenegger at EPS2013 } Man-made machines arXiv:1307.5025[hep-ex]

  20. Let’s now go behind the truth! } Man-made machines

  21. Why to worry about measuring the top mass? • The top quark decays well before hadronizing, so one can directly measure its mass by reconstructing various decay products • Indeed, top is the most accurately measured quark (better than 0.5%) } • Participates in the quantum loop radiative corrections to the W mass, constraining the Higgs mass (was important till July 2012 discovery) • Now one can use this measurement to assess the self-consistency of SM Man-made machines • The huge mass (almost same as the tungsten atom) puts it close to the scale of EWSB, so the top quark might have a special role in it

  22. So far the most sensitive method at LHC A. Castro } Man-made machines

  23. LHC average for the top mass A. Castro } Man-made machines • What about Tevatron?

  24. An unsettled question from Tevatron • Thanks to pp environment, one can measure the forward-backward asymmetry AFB J. Varela } Man-made machines

  25. Story so far from the LHC • Being a pp machine, LHC does not allow to measure AFB; we can however measure the charge asymmetry Ac J. Varela } Man-made machines

  26. Another SM candle: W mass • Current WA is dominated by Tevatron and has a precision of 104 B. Quinn } Man-made machines
