Abstract

Complete event generation on hardware accelerators such as GPUs requires vectorising the algorithms of components such as parton showers and hadronisation. To this end, I implemented a simplified cluster hadronisation and hadronic decay model in the GPU parton shower program GAPS, with one thread per event and each stage of the algorithm as a separate kernel. I compared simulation results for $e^+e^- \to \text{hadrons}$ at the $Z$ pole with the Herwig event generator and with ALEPH and L3 data, and measured execution times on an NVIDIA V100 GPU. The results agree well with Herwig, and GAPS generates one million hadron-level events (NLO hard process, shower, hadronisation and decays) in about four seconds on this GPU.

The equation of state and surface tension of QCD in the first order phase transition region

We build up a complete description of QCD phase structure by applying the parametrization of the chiral and deconfinement order parameters upon the calculations from functional QCD approaches. In particular in the first order phase transition region at high chemical potential, both the phase transition line using Maxwell construction and the coexistence boundary lines from the spinodal decompostion are determined. We compute the thermodynamic quantities including the number density, the energy density, the pressure and also the free energy for both stable and unstable phases of QCD. Additionally, after applying a phenomenological description of the inhomogeneity of the QCD free energy, we obtain the surface tension of the first order phase transition of QCD.

Geometrical Constraints On Leptonic Unitarity Triangles

The precision of the neutrino oscillation parameters measurements has improved and will continue to improve as the next-generation experiments become online. Beyond the more precise measurements of the mixing angles and phases used to parametrize the lepton mixing matrix, tests of its unitarity are of great interest. This paper studies how the amplitudes of the oscillation patterns can be used and combined to construct leptonic unitarity triangles.

Probing baryon number with missing energy

Quark portal interactions $qqqN$ with a light singlet fermion $N$ make baryon number testable through missing transverse energy (MET). We find that present LHC data constrain scales up to 10 TeV (MET plus jet), 8 TeV (MET plus top) and 11 TeV (MET plus bjet). With increasing mass, or larger portal couplings, $N$ becomes less long-lived, and gives clean displaced vertex signatures, which encourage dedicated searches. We also narrow down viable mesogenesis models with color triplet scalars to a mass range $\sim y \,\cdot 3 \, \text{TeV}$ (with charm) and $\sim y \, \cdot 5 \, \text{TeV}$ (charmless) couplings $y$ to $b$ and lighter quarks, a window that can be scrutinized by HL-LHC. Interactions also induce rare decays of type baryon (meson) to meson (baryon) plus invisible, which complement high-$p_T$ searches and can prove baryon number violation. We explore charm decays $Λ_c \to (π,K) + \mathrm{invisible}$. Their branching ratios are subject to sizable hadronic uncertainties and require high luminosity flavor facilities such as a Tera-Z facility (FCC-ee, CEPC). Branching ratios of top quarks into one or two $b$-jets plus $N$ can reach few$\times 10^{-6}$.
