“…The effective Lagrangians and the vertices for PP fusion into the scalar and tensor mesons were discussed in [12,15,17]. Some model parameters (PPM couplings, the off-shell dependence of form factors) have been roughly adjusted to CDF data [1] and then used for predictions for the STAR, ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb experiments. The distributions, in the so-called glueball filter variable dP t , show different behavior in the K + K − invariant mass windows around glueball candidates with masses ∼ 1.5 GeV and ∼ 1.7 GeV than in other regions.…”

We review some selected results of the tensor-pomeron and vector-odderon model of soft high-energy proton-proton scattering and central exclusive production of meson and baryon pairs in proton-proton collisions. We discuss the theoretical aspects of this approach and consider the phenomenological implications in a variety of processes at high energies, comparing to existing experimental data. We consider the diffractive dipion and dikaon production including the continuum and the dominant scalar and tensor resonance contributions as well as the photoproduction processes. The theoretical results are compared with existing CDF experimental data and predictions for planned or current LHC experiments, ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, LHCb are presented. ⋆

Searching for light new physics at the LHC via lepton-number violation

We study the collider phenomenology of a simplified model containing a right-handed W in which the WR couples predominantly to the third generation in the quark sector. The model also includes a light Majorana neutrino, with M1 ∼ $$ \mathcal{O}(100) $$ O 100 GeV, giving rise to lepton-number-violating signatures that are visible at the LHC. Taking into account all the searches from the LHC and Tevatron, we find that this WR can still be as light as MR ∼ 300 GeV. We show that this type of new physics, and others like it, can be detected at the LHC using final states with three same-sign same-flavour leptons.

Searches are presented for heavy gauge bosons decaying into a top and a bottom quark in data collected by the CMS experiment at √ s = 13 TeV that correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2.2 and 2.6 fb −1 in the leptonic and hadronic analyses, respectively. Two final states are analyzed, one containing a single electron, or muon, and missing transverse momentum, and the other containing multiple jets and no electrons or muons. No evidence is found for a right-handed W boson (W R ) and the combined analyses exclude at 95% confidence level W R with masses below 2.4 TeV if M W R M ν R (mass of the right-handed neutrino), and below 2.6 TeV if M W R < M ν R . The results provide the most stringent limits for right-handed W bosons in the top and bottom quark decay channel. The CMS collaboration 23 IntroductionMany theories that extend the standard model (SM) predict additional charged gauge bosons [1][2][3][4][5], often referred to as W bosons. In models where the resonance is sufficiently massive, it is common to postulate that the coupling to third generation quarks might be enhanced relative to the second and first generations [6,7], making a search for the decay W → tb or tb highly appropriate. A particular advantage of this kind of search is that this channel is more easily distinguished from the large continuum of multijet background than -1 - JHEP08(2017)029searches in the decays to light quarks (W → qq). The search in top and bottom quark (tb) systems complements searches in W → ν (where denotes a charged lepton and ν denotes a neutrino) and W → VV (where V denotes an SM W or Z boson) channels. The tb final state also benefits from the fact that its W mass can be fully determined, whereas in the leptonic mode there is a two-fold ambiguity in its mass. This paper presents the first search performed for a right-handed W (W R ) decaying to a top and a bottom quark at √ s = 13 TeV, using data collected by the CMS experiment corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to 2.6 fb −1 . In scenarios where a theoretical right-handed neutrino (ν R ) is heavier than the W R , the decay W R → ν R is forbidden and the branching fraction B(W R → tb) is enhanced. This makes the W R → tb decay an important channel in the search for W bosons. Previous searches in the tb channel have been performed at the Fermilab Tevatron [8][9][10] and at the CERN LHC by both the CMS [11, 12] and ATLAS [13, 14] Collaborations. The most stringent limits to date on the production of W bosons with purely right-handed couplings come from the CMS search performed at √ s = 8 TeV [12]. Relative to this 8 TeV search, the expected production cross section of the W R boson at √ s = 13 TeV is enhanced by a factor of approximately 7 (13) for a 2 (3) TeV resonance.We separately analyze events with and without a lepton in the final state (referred to as leptonic and hadronic analyses), and then combine the results. In both analyses, the invariant mass of the tb system (M tb ) is used to conduct searches for the W R boson. The achieved sensi...
