The fundamental nature of dark or invisible matter remains one of the great mysteries of our time. A leading hypothesis is that dark matter is made of new elementary particles, with proposed masses and interaction cross sections spanning an enormous range. Amongst the technologies developed to search for dark matter particles, detectors based on liquid xenon are currently leading the field,...
The periodic table of elements is now full up to the Z=118, element, Oganesson, the last element in the noble gas column of elements. The table contains elements that were in time identified by fission and by nuclear reactions. Some of them were deliberately created in the laboratory. While there is no limit to the table of elements ending with Z=118, the question remains about the potential...
The ability of current and next generation accelerator based neutrino oscillation measurements to reach their desired sensitivity and provide new insight into the nature of our Universe, requires a high-level of understanding of the neutrino-nucleus interactions. These include precise estimation of the relevant cross sections and the reconstruction of the incident neutrino energy from the...
We review an analysis of the low-energy dynamics of jets cross sections at hadron colliders, for which phase factors in the hard amplitudes spoil collinear factorization. We identify three-loop contributions from perturbative Glauber-gluon exchanges with the right structure to render the cross section consistent with PDF factorization below the gap veto scale. The Glauber contributions we...
