Article Abstract
This Letter presents the first study of Higgs boson production in association with a vector boson (V=W or Z) in the fully hadronic qqbb final state using data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb^{-1}. The vector bosons and Higgs bosons are each reconstructed as large-radius jets and tagged using jet substructure techniques. Dedicated tagging algorithms exploiting b-tagging properties are used to identify jets consistent with Higgs bosons decaying into bb[over ¯]. Dominant backgrounds from multijet production are determined directly from the data, and a likelihood fit to the jet mass distribution of Higgs boson candidates is used to extract the number of signal events. The VH production cross section is measured inclusively and differentially in several ranges of Higgs boson transverse momentum: 250-450, 450-650, and greater than 650 GeV. The inclusive signal yield relative to the standard model expectation is observed to be μ=1.4_{-0.9}^{+1.0} and the corresponding cross section is 3.1±1.3(stat)_{-1.4}^{+1.8}(syst) pb.

Flavor Nonsinglet Splitting Functions at Four Loops in QCD: Fermionic Contributions.

We have determined the fourth-order n_{f} contributions to the two splitting functions governing the evolution of all flavor differences of quark distributions of hadrons in perturbative quantum chromodynamics with n_{f} light flavors. The analytic forms of these functions are presented in both Mellin N space and momentum-fraction x space for a general gauge group. In the small-x limit double logarithms occur, but the small-x rise of both splitting functions is confined to extremely small-x values, x≲10^{-6}.

: The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) in neurosurgery is dependent on high quality, large, labeled datasets. Labeled neurosurgical datasets are rare, driven by the high expertise required for labeling neurosurgical data. A comprehensive resource overviewing available datasets for AI in neurosurgery is essential to identify areas for potential model building and areas of needed data construction.

The precision measurement of the tritium β-decay spectrum performed by the KATRIN experiment provides a unique way to search for general neutrino interactions (GNIs). All theoretically allowed GNI terms at dimension 6 involving neutrinos are incorporated into a low-energy effective field theory, and can be identified by specific signatures in the measured tritium β spectrum. In this Letter an effective description of the impact of GNIs on the β spectrum is formulated and the first constraints on the effective GNI parameters are derived based on the 4×10^{6} electrons collected in the second measurement campaign of KATRIN in 2019.

We compute the production rates for two, three, four, and five jets in the hadronic decay of a Higgs boson in its two dominant decay modes to bottom quarks and gluons to third order in the QCD coupling constant. The five-, four-, and three-jet rates are obtained from a next-to-next-to-leading order calculation of Higgs decay to three jets, while the two-jet rate is inferred at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order from the inclusive decay rate. Our results show distinct differences in the dependence of the jet rates on the jet resolution parameter between the two decay modes, supporting the aim of discriminating different Higgs boson decay channels via classic QCD observables.

We present a minimal cosmological solution to the hierarchy problem. Our model consists of a light pseudoscalar and an extra Higgs doublet in addition to the standard model field content. We consider a landscape of vacua with varying values of the electroweak vacuum expectation value (VEV).
