Search for 4th family quarks with the ATLAS detector

The pair production of heavy fourth-generation quarks, which are predicted under the hypothesis of flavor democracy, is studied using tree-level Monte Carlo generators and fast detector simulation. Two heavy-quark mass values, 500 and 750$\gev$, are considered with the assumption that the fourth family mixes primarily with the two light families. It is shown that a clear signature will be observed in the data collected by the ATLAS detector, after the first year of low-luminosity running at the Large Hadron Collider.

Collider aspects of flavour physics at high Q

This review presents flavour related issues in the production and decays of heavy states at LHC, both from the experimental side and from the theoretical side. We review top quark physics and discuss flavour aspects of several extensions of the Standard Model, such as supersymmetry, little Higgs model or models with extra dimensions. This includes discovery aspects as well as measurement of several properties of these heavy states. We also present public available computational tools related to this topic.

Down Type Isosinglet Quarks in ATLAS

We evaluate the discovery reach of the ATLAS experiment for down type isosinglet quarks, $D$, using both their neutral and charged decay channels, namely the process $pp\to D\bar{D}+X$ with subsequent decays resulting in $2\ell+2j+E^{miss}_{T}$, $3\ell+2j+E^{miss}_{T}$ and $2\ell+4j$ final states. The integrated luminosity required for observation of a heavy quark is estimated for a mass range between 600 and 1000 GeV using the combination of results from different search channels.

"Silver" mode for heavy Higgs search in the presence of a fourth SM family

We investigate the possible enhancement to the discovery of the heavy Higgs boson through the possible fourth SM family heavy neutrino. Using the channel h-> v4 v4->mu W mu W-> mu j j mu j j, it is found that for certain ranges of Higgs boson and v4 masses LHC could discover both of them simultaneously with 1 fb^-1 integrated luminosity.

QCD Explorer Proposal: E-Linac Versus E-Ring

TeV center of mass energy lepton-hadron collider is necessary both to clarify fundamental aspects of strong interactions and for adequate interpretation of the LHC data. Recently proposed QCD Explorer utilizes the energy advantage of the LHC proton and ion beams, which allows the usage of relatively low energy electron beam. Two options for the LHC based ep collider are posibble: construction of a new electron ring in the LHC tunnel or construction of an e-linac tangentially to the LHC. In the latter case, which seems more acceptable for a number of reasons, two options are under consideration for electron linac: the CLIC technology allows shorter linac length, whereas TESLA technology gives higher luminosity.

The single production of the lightest E6 isosinglet quark at the LHC

We study the jet associated production of the new quarks predicted by the $E_{6}$ GUT model at the LHC. Generator level considerations are made for different mass values of the lightest of the new quarks to investigate its discovery potential and the prospects for obtaining its mixing angle to the Standard Model quarks. We find that after 100 fb$^{-1}$ of data taking, it is possible to discover the new quark with a significance more than 5$σ$ up to a mass of 1500 GeV. If no discovery is made, it is possible to constrain the mass vs quark mixing angle plane.

Prospects to search for E6 isosinglet quarks in ATLAS

We consider pair production of new down-type isosinglet quarks originating from E_{6}, which is the favorite gauge symmetry group in superstring inspired GUT models. The study concentrates on the possibility of observing the pair production of the lightest of the new quarks, D, in the ATLAS detector at the forthcoming LHC accelerator, in the channel D\bar{D}\to ZjZj . Both signal and background events are studied using tree level event generators based on Monte Carlo techniques. The detector effects are taken into account using the ATLAS fast simulation tool, ATLFAST. It is shown that ATLAS can observe the D quark within the first year of low luminosity LHC operation if its mass is less than 650 GeV. For the case of two years of full luminosity running, 1 TeV can be reached with about three sigma significance.

A Review of Tev Scale Lepton-Hadron and Photon-Hadron Colliders

The investigation of lepton-hadron and photon-hadron collisions at TeV scale is crucial both to clarify the strong interaction dynamics from nuclei to quark-parton level and for adequate interpretation of experimental data from future hadron colliders (LHC and VLHC). In this presentation different TeV scale lepton-hadron and photon-hadron collider proposals (such as THERA, LEP-LHC, QCD Explorer etc) are discussed. The advantages of linac-ring type colliders has been shown comparatively.

Main Parameters of Ilc-Tevatron Based Lepton-Hadron and Photon-Hadron Colliders

The construction of the ILC tangential to Tevatron ring will give opportunity to investigate electron-proton, positron-proton, electron-antiproton, positron-antiproton interactions at 1 TeV center of mass energy. The analysis of the lepton-hadron collisions in these energy region is very important both for understanding of strong interaction dynamics and for adequate interpretation of future LHC and VLHC data. In addition, ILC-Tevatron collider will provide a possibility to realize photon-hadron collisions in the same energy region using Compton backscattered laser photon off ILC electron beam. Main parameters of these colliders are estimated and their physics search potential is briefly discussed.

The Status of Turkic Accelerator Complex Proposal

Recently, the Turkic Accelerator Complex (TAC) is proposed as a regional facility for accelerator based fundamental and applied research. The complex will include linac on ring type electron-positron collider as a phi, charm and tau factory, linac based free electron laser (FEL), ring based third generation synchrotron radiation (SR) source and a few GeV proton accelerator. Preliminary estimations show that integral luminosity of hundred inverse femto-barns per year can be achieved for factory options. The FEL facility is planned to obtain laser beam between IR and soft X-ray region. In addition, SR facility will produce photon beams in UV and X-ray region. The proton accelerator will give opportunity to produce muon and neutron beams for applied research. The current status of the conceptual study of the complex is presented.

Comments to D0note 4760-CONF

A brainstorming on recent D0 data on a search for the Higgs boson in H -> WW(*)-> l(+)nu l'(-)nu (l, l' = e, mu) decays is performed. As a result, it is possible that the data favors m(H) = 160 GeV if there are four SM families.

The Fourth SM Family Neutrino at Future Linear Colliders

It is known that Flavor Democracy favors the existence of the fourth standard model (SM) family. In order to give nonzero masses for the first three family fermions Flavor Democracy has to be slightly broken. A parametrization for democracy breaking, which gives the correct values for fundamental fermion masses and, at the same time, predicts quark and lepton CKM matrices in a good agreement with the experimental data, is proposed. The pair productions of the fourth SM family Dirac $(ν_{4})$ and Majorana $(N_{1})$ neutrinos at future linear colliders with $\sqrt{s}=500$ GeV, 1 TeV and 3 TeV are considered. The cross section for the process $e^{+}e^{-}\toν_{4}\bar {ν_{4}}(N_{1}N_{1})$ and the branching ratios for possible decay modes of the both neutrinos are determined. The decays of the fourth family neutrinos into muon channels $(ν_{4}(N_{1})\toμ^{\pm}W^{\mp})$ provide cleanest signature at $e^{+}e^{-}$ colliders. Meanwhile, in our parametrization this channel is dominant. $W$ bosons produced in decays of the fourth family neutrinos will be seen in detector as either di-jets or isolated leptons. As an example we consider the production of 200 GeV mass fourth family neutrinos at $\sqrt{s}=500$ GeV linear colliders by taking into account di-muon plus four-jet events as signatures.
