The leptophilic dark matter with $Z'$ interaction: from indirect searches to future $e^+ e^-$ collider searches
We investigate the scenario where the dark matter only interacts with the charged leptons in the standard model via a neutral vector mediator $Z'$. Such a scenario with a 430 GeV dark matter can fit the recent positron fluxes observed by the AMS-02 Collaborations, with the reasonable boost factors. We study the possibility of searching such leptophilic $Z'$ via its lepton final states and invisible decay modes at the future electron-positron colliders, such as the International Linear Collider (ILC) and the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). We find that for the benchmark models with $Z'$ mass from 1.0 TeV to 1.5 TeV, the searches for the invisible decays of $Z'\to \bar \chi \chi$ is easily achieved at the CLIC 1.5 TeV runs via the mono-photon process. However, lighter $Z'$ with mass from 0.5 TeV to 0.8 TeV are challenging to see. The di-lepton plus single photon channel can reveal the $Z'$ mass at the ILC and CLIC with moderate luminosities.

title: Next-to-leading order QCD predictions for the signal of dark matter and photon associated production at the LHC
abstract: We study the potential of the LHC to discover the signal of dark matter associated production with a photon induced by a dimension six effective operator, including next-to-leading order QCD corrections. We investigate the main backgrounds from the standard model, i.e. $Z$ boson and a photon associated production with invisible decay of $Z$ boson, and $Z$ boson and a jet production with the jet misidentified as a photon. We find that the ${p}_{T}^{\ensuremath{\gamma}}$ distributions of the backgrounds decrease faster than that of the signal with increasing of the transverse momentum of the photon. The ${\ensuremath{\eta}}^{\ensuremath{\gamma}}$ distributions of the backgrounds are almost flat in the full range of ${\ensuremath{\eta}}^{\ensuremath{\gamma}}$. In contrast, the signal lies mainly in the central region of ${\ensuremath{\eta}}^{\ensuremath{\gamma}}$. These characteristics may help to select the events in experiments. We show that in the parameter space allowed by the relic abundance constraint, which we have calculated at the next-to-leading-order QCD level, the LHC with $\sqrt{S}=7\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{TeV}$ may discover this signal at the $5\ensuremath{\sigma}$ level after collecting an integrated luminosity of $1\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$. On the other hand, if this signal is not observed at the LHC, we can set a lower limit on the new physics scale at the $3\ensuremath{\sigma}$ level.

title: Next-to-leading order QCD effect of $W'$ on top quark Forward-Backward Asymmetry
abstract: We present the calculations of the complete next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to the total cross section, invariant mass distribution and the forward-backward asymmetry ($\rm A_{FB}$) of top quark pair production mediated by $W'$ boson. Our results show that in the best fit point in the parameter space allowed by data at the Tevatron, the NLO corrections change the new physics contributions to the total cross section slightly, but increase the $\rm A_{FB}$ in the large invariant mass region by about 9%. Moreover, we evaluate the total cross section and charge asymmetry ($\rm{A}_{\rm{C}}$) of top pair production at the LHC, and find that both total cross section and $A_{\rm C}$ can be used to distinguish NP from SM with the integrated luminosity increasing.

title: Improved Resummation Prediction on Higgs Boson Production at Hadron Colliders
abstract: We improve the resummation calculations in the ResBos program for the Higgs boson production via gluon-gluon fusion by including the NNLO Wilson coefficient functions and G-functions. The improvement leads to increasing the total cross section predictions of the new ResBos program, dubbed as ResBos2, for Higgs boson production by about 8% and 6% at the Tevatron and the LHC, respectively, as compared to the old ResBos program. Furthermore, the improved predictions are compared with those from the programs HNNLO and HqT2. We find that they agree well for the total cross sections but differ slightly for the transverse momentum QT distributions. With ResBos2, we present the distributions of the two variables aT and � � , which can have better experimental resolutions than QT, for the process of Higgs boson decaying into a photon pair. Theoretical uncertainties of the ResBos2 predictions are also discussed.

title: Model independent analysis of top quark forward-backward asymmetry at the Tevatron up to $\mathcal{O}(\as^2/\Lambda^2)$
abstract: We present the complete calculations of the forward-backward asymmetry ($A_{\rm FB}$) and the total cross section of top quark pair production induced by dimension-six four quark operators at the Tevatron up to $\mathcal{O}(\as^2/\Lambda^2)$. Our results show that next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections can change $A_{\rm FB}$ and the total cross section by about 10%. Moreover, NLO QCD corrections reduce the dependence of $A_{\rm FB}$ and total cross section on the renormalization and factorization scales significantly. We also evaluate the total cross section and the charge asymmetry ($A_{\rm C}$) induced by these operators at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) up to $\mathcal{O}(\as^2/\Lambda^2)$, for the parameter space allowed by the Tevatron data. We find that the value of $A_{\rm C}$ induced by these operators is much larger than SM prediction, and LHC has potential to discover these NP effects when the measurement precision increases.

abstract: Center for High Energy Physics, Peking University, Beijing, 100871, ChinaWe present updated predictions on the inclusive total cross sections, including the complete next-to-leading order QCD corrections, for the graviton and photon associated production process in thelarge extra dimensions model at the LHC with a center-of-mass energy of 7 and 8 TeV, using theparameters according to the requirements of the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations. Moreover, wealso discuss in detail the dependence on the transverse momentum cut and uncertainties due to thechoices of scales and parton distribution functions.

title: ATLAS measurements of the properties of jets for boosted particle searches
abstract: Measurements are presented of the properties of high transverse momentum jets, produced in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of root s = 7 TeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35 pb(-1) and were collected with the ATLAS detector in 2010. Jet mass, width, eccentricity, planar flow and angularity are measured for jets reconstructed using the anti-k(t) algorithm with distance parameters R 0: 6 and 1.0, with transverse momentum p(T) > 300 GeV and pseudorapidity vertical bar eta vertical bar < 2. The measurements are compared to the expectations of Monte Carlo generators that match leading-logarithmic parton showers to leading-order, or next-to-leading-order, matrix elements. The generators describe the general features of the jets, although discrepancies are observed in some distributions.

title: International X-Band Linear Collider Accelerator Structure R&D
abstract: For more than fifteen years before the International Technology Recommendation Panel (ITRP) decision in August, 2004, there were intensive R&D activities and broad international collaboration among the groups at SLAC, KEK, FNAL, LLNL and other labs for the room temperature X-Band accelerator structures. The goal was to provide an optimized design of the main linac structure for the NLC (Next Linear Collider) or GLC (Global Linear Collider). There have been two major challenges in developing X-band accelerator structures for the linear colliders. The first is to demonstrate stable, long-term operation at the high gradient (65 MV/m) that is required to optimize the machine cost. The second is to strongly suppress the beam induced long-range wakefields, which is required to achieve high luminosity. More than thirty X-band accelerator structures with various RF parameters, cavity shapes and coupler types have been fabricated and tested since 1989. A summary of the main achievements and experiences are presented in this talk including the structure design, manufacturing techniques, high power performance, and other structure related issues. Also, the new progress in collaborating with the CLIC, high gradient structures and X-Band structure applications for RF deflectors and others are briefly introduced.

title: First LHC beam induced tracks reconstructed in the LHCb VELO
abstract: The Vertex Locator of the LHCb experiment has been used to fully reconstruct beam induced tracks at the LHC. A beam of protons was collided with a beam absorber during the LHC synchronisation test of the anti-clockwise beam on the weekend 22nd–24th August 2008. The resulting particles have been observed by the Vertex Locator. The LHCb Vertex Locator is a silicon micro-strip detector containing 21 planes of modules. Tracks were observed passing through up to 19 modules (38 silicon sensors). A total of over 700 tracks were reconstructed, and are being used to study the calibration and alignment of the detector.

title: Search for electroweak production of charginos and neutralinos using leptonic final states in pp collisions at $ \sqrt{s}=7 $ TeV
abstract: A bstractThe 2011 dataset of the CMS experiment, consisting of an integrated luminosity of 4.98 fb−1 of pp collisions at $ \sqrt{s}=7 $ TeV, enables expanded searches for direct electroweak pair production of charginos and neutralinos in supersymmetric models as well as their analogs in other models of new physics. Searches sensitive to such processes, with decays to final states that contain two or more leptons, are presented. Final states with three leptons, with a same-sign lepton pair, and with an opposite-sign lepton pair in conjunction with two jets, are examined. No excesses above the standard model expectations are observed. The results are used in conjunction with previous results on four-lepton final states to exclude a range of chargino and neutralino masses from approximately 200 to 500 GeV in the context of models that assume large branching fractions of charginos and neutralinos to leptons and vector bosons.

title: Single production of the doubly charged Higgs boson via e\gamma collision in the Higgs triplet model
abstract: The Higgs triplet model (HTM) predicts the existence of a pair of doubly charged Higgs bosons $H^{\pm \pm}$. Single production of $H^{\pm \pm}$ via e collision at the next generation e+e- International Linear Collider (ILC) and the Large Hadron electron Collider (LHeC) is considered. The numerical results show that the production cross sections are very sensitive to the neutrino oscillation parameters. Their values for the inverted hierarchy mass spectrum are larger than those for the normal hierarchy mass spectrum at these two kinds of collider experiments. With reasonable values of the relevant free parameters, the possible signals of the doubly charged Higgs bosons predicted by the HTM might be detected in future ILC experiments.
