Reviewing the Ethics and Philosophy Behind Social Media's Crowdsourced Panopticon
Amanda Furiasse
Jan 01, 2022
Philosopher Jeremy Weissman theorizes a new approach to social media surveillance by utilizing a familiar theoretical model: the Panopticon. In effect, Weissman argues that social media has transformed ordinary people into...
Brought, Sought, and Taught
Skillification is a powerful concept that can drive better outcomes for students, employers, and institutions of higher education (IHEs). Successful use, however, requires IHEs to adopt a systems thinking mindset more than...

Civic Value of National Service
Research from one large public university highlights that on average, of the 10,000 students who graduate, 650 students, or 8% of participating graduates, indicate ‘volunteering' or ‘taking time off' as their immediate next step...
Mass determination in sequential particle decay chains
B Webber
Jan 19, 2010
A simple method is proposed for determining the masses of new particles in collider events containing a pair of decay chains (not necessarily identical) of the form Z -> Y+1, Y -> X+2, X -> N+3, where 1,2 and 3 are visible but N...

Passing for Children in Cate Shortland’s Lore
Andrew J Webber
Oct 09, 2017
This article is concerned with the 2012 feature, Lore, made in Germany by Australian director Cate Shortland, and based on the story of the same name by Rachel Seiffert. Focusing on a group of siblings and their odyssey across...

Effects of QCD radiation on inclusive variables for determining the scale of new physics at hadron colliders
A Papaefstathiou, B Webber
Jan 19, 2010
We examine the effects of QCD initial-state radiation on a class of quantities, designed to probe the mass scale of new physics at hadron colliders, which involve longitudinal as well as transverse final-state momenta. In...

The MC@NLO 2.3 Event Generator
S Frixione, BR Webber
Jan 19, 2010
This is the user's manual of MC@NLO 2.3. This package is a practical implementation, based upon the HERWIG event generator, of the MC@NLO formalism, which allows one to incorporate NLO QCD matrix elements consistently into...

Direct numerical evaluation of multi-loop integrals without contour deformation
R Pittau, B Webber
Mar 01, 2022
We propose a method for computing numerically integrals defined via $i \epsilon$ deformations acting on single-pole singularities. We achieve this without an explicit analytic contour deformation. Our solution is then used...

Black holes at accelerators
B Webber
Jan 26, 2010
In theories with large extra dimensions and TeV-scale gravity, black holes are copiously produced in particle collisions at energies well above the Planck scale. I briefly review some recent work on the phenomenology of this...

Stokes drift through corals
JJ Webber, HE Huppert
Oct 01, 2021
We investigate the all-penetrating drift velocities, due to surface wave motion in an effectively inviscid fluid that overlies a saturated porous bed of finite depth. Previous work in this area either neglects the large-scale...

The role of colour flows in matrix element computations and Monte Carlo simulations
Abstract: We discuss how colour flows can be used to simplify the computation of matrix elements, and in the context of parton shower Monte Carlos with accuracy beyond leading-colour. We show that, by systematically employing...

Addendum to "Distinguishing Spins in Decay Chains at the Large Hadron Collider"
We extend our earlier study of spin correlations in the decay chain $D\to C q$, $C\to B l^{near}$, $B\to A l^{far}$, where $A,B,C,D$ are new particles with known masses but undetermined spins, $l^{near}$ and $l^{far}$ are...
CHARYBDIS
CHARYBDIS is an event generator which simulates the production and decay of miniature black holes at hadronic colliders as might be possible in certain extra dimension models. It interfaces via the Les Houches accord to...
