Which SUSY models are affected by the recent LHCb result?
The LHCb has recently published the observation of $B_s \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$ with a branching ratio that agrees with the Standard Model (SM). There are many blog posts about it (See: Of Particular ...

How to integrate over rapidity for Parton Luminosities in LHC?
I want to make a comparison of parton luminosities between Tevatron and LHC. According to Factorization theorem the cross section in hadron colliders, as long as the partonic cross section has $\hat ...

Can TOTEM's T2 detector measure differential cross sections?
My current research involves making a prediction for data collected by the TOTEM experiment at the LHC. The experiment is primarily designed to measure the total inelastic and elastic scattering cross ...

Limits on stable charged particles
Are there generic model-independent limits on massive stable charged particles (say 10-500GeV)? I mean SU(2)/color singlets with just a hypercharge.
For example the LEP search (CERN-EP/99-075) was ...

What is the relationship between Luminosity, Intensity, and Flux?
I am always confused by the terminology:
In high energy particle scattering, and in particular, in the context of collider physics, what is the relationship between luminosity, intensity and flux? ...
