A YEAR OF HARVEST

In 2016 the LHC machine surpassed its design pa-rameters and allowed the ATLAS experiment to col-lected more data than in all previous years together. One merciless result of the increased statistics was the evaporation of the hints of anomalies that caused so much excitement in 2015. Alas, they turned out to be statistical fluctuations. Another merciless conse-quence was a murderously high density of particles in the detector from (up to) 50 proton collisions per 25 nanoseconds. This stretched the ATLAS detector to its very limits and required continued new ideas to compress data, speed up processing and find new

computing resources. However, the increased statis-tics also offered new opportunities for the Discovery LHC group to search for ever more rare events, such as instances of lepton flavor non-conservation, as well as new opportunities for precision measurements of the Standard Model parameters.

We also had a chance to analyze the data taken in December 2015 with the ALICE detector where lead ions collided at the monstrous total energy of one Peta electron volt. This analysis confirmed previous indica-tions that the quark-gluon state of matter, dominat-ing the universe up to the age of one millionth of a second, was close to being an “ideal fluid” with mini-

mal viscosity. In a special run at the end of 2016, Pb nuclei were collided with single protons and we hope that these data will shed new light on the controver-sial question of whether “small systems” of quarks and gluons exhibit collective behavior.

For the Discovery phenomenology group it was of course a bit disappointing that all the hints of new resonances disappeared in the sharp light of the 2016 LHC statistics. However, their approach of pressing the maximal information out of the combined preci-sion measurements using effective field theories has gained world wide interest, as evidenced by the high attendance at our “Higgs Effective Field Theories 2016” conference.

Meanwhile, the scattering amplitude group made gi-ant strides. Anyone who has tried to make just a “one-loop correction” to an amplitude knows how compli-cated it is (I never succeeded doing it, which is why I am an experimental physicist). However, this year our amplitude group reached the unprecedented 8- and even 10-loop calculation, which is about 2.7 million times more complicated than the one-loop problem. Hereby the Discovery center has really become a champion of precision quantum field calculations.

Members of the Discovery IceCube group were physi-cally at the South Pole this year (photographic proof

can be found in this report) and the on-line diary from one of these trips was a big outreach hit. The group also made great progress in the data analysis, setting new competitive limits on both dark matter annihila-tion in the Milky Way and on the parameters of pos-sible extra neutrinos outside the Standard Model.

Such extra, “sterile”, neutrinos are also the main target of a new theoretical and experimental research effort led by Discovery member Oleg Rychayskiy. In 2016 he shared an ERC Advanced Grant, called NuBSM, with M. Shaposhnikov, Lausanne, and A. Boyarsky, Leiden.

Sterile neutrinos are hypothetical particles that poten-tially could explain the mystery of Dark Matter. An-other, even more intractable, mystery is the so-called Dark Energy that apparently fills out empty space and accelerates the expansion of the universe. However, in a remarkable analysis from 2016 Niels Bohr Profes-sor Subir Sarkar and Discovery student Jeppe Trøst Nielsen pointed out that certain empirical evidence for Dark Energy is weaker than previously assumed. I hope you will enjoy reading more about these in-triguing developments in the following.

NEWS FROM THE DISCOVERY

For the ATLAS experiment the year 2016 was what a special vintage is to vinification. The LHC exceeded its own record for the amount of data delivered in a single year, and did so at the highest beam energy, thus producing big gains in the two key ingredients for making new discoveries. The torrent of data made running ATLAS a challenge, but it was overcome, leaving us with more data than was harvested in the period between 2009-2015. We, in the Discovery Center, have been working on several analyses of this data, both related to exploring the fundamental laws of physics and ingredients of the Universe, but also on keeping the experiment running optimally.

We have been a keystone in the running of the Tran-sition Radiation Tracker (TRT), ensuring optimal tracking, electron identification and minimizing computing resources. We have also been contributing to the continued upkeep of the trigger that ensures that we can observe tau leptons, which play a central role for many reasons.

We have been involved in two prominent measure-ments, namely that of the top mass (using a new and

very promising method) and of the W mass, which is considered to be the hardest analysis in all of LHC.

In the search for new particles and phenomena we are involved in a several of the leading ATLAS analyses. We contribute to the search for new heavy Higgs par-ticles, which is also a field we explore together with the theorists in the Discovery Center. The prospect is either finding additional Higgs particles, or possibly excluding the current main theory of how matter in today’s Universe came into existence.

We also explore the possibility that one of the fun-damental rules, that of lepton flavour conservation, might not be exact. This is done by looking for de-

cays of the Z-boson into a tau lepton and an electron or muon, but also indirectly probed by searching for sterile neutrinos decaying to a very distinct final state, which could be the cause of lepton flavour violation. And should new particles not decay immediately, but fly out through the ATLAS detector, we have been part of pioneering a search for such particles through their interaction with the ATLAS detector and their slower-than-speed-of-light signature.

Finally, we are also been the main contributor to the ALFA detector measuring the total number of proton collisions and looking into the prospect of future ac-celerators and experiments, and what they will (and should) be capable of achieving.

This method allows for a significant enhancement in both the size and shape of the boson mass peak, together with an improved separation of the back-ground distribution, as demonstrated in the data analysis of Run I [2,3], thereby paving the way for an increased new physics reach for Run II. This is very important, in order to assess with better tools the sig-nificance of the slight excess in diboson hadronic final states hinted by Run I data. See the figures below and reference [4].

DEVELOPMENTS IN THE EFFECTIVE FIELD THEORY WORKGROUP

In 2016 the Large Hadron Collider experiment at the European Centre for Nuclear Physics (CERN) gathered an enormous data set at 13 TeV. The AT-LAS experiment accumulated 36 fb^-1 of data while the CMS experiment accumulated 37.8 fb^-1 of data. This is simply an unprecedented amount of data on the interactions of the fundamental particles around the electroweak scale. With this enormous data set the tantalizing hint of an excess of measured events, in a diphoton search in both the ATLAS and CMS ex-periments at around 750 GeV has disappeared. This was not surprising considering the results that the EFT phenomenology group developed in an initial examination of this hint published in “Effective In-terpretations of a diphoton excess” (Berthier, Cline, Shepherd, Trott) but the passing of this excess is still a sad event.

In the absence of explicit new resonances at the LHC, what is a particle physicist to do? The answer to this question in phenomenology is arguably what the EFT phenomenology group is exactly doing - searching for the effects of new physics indirectly using the meth-ods of effective field theory (EFT). What is advisable and possible in data analyses using EFT methods has completely changed with the Run II data set. The cur-


rent sensitivity of the data set to the SM Higgs particle is still, on the whole, poorer than the data reported at lower energies, but future analyses should change thisfact in the coming year. Gearing up for these data re-leases is exactly what the phenomenology group has been doing.

To do so we have developed the global constraint picture in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) by advancing one loop calculations of pre-cise experimental data as in the paper “The Z decay width in the SMEFT: yt and λ corrections at one loop” (Hartmann, Shepherd, Trott), through examining the use of the very precise measurement of the W mass in “Interpreting W mass measurements in the SMEFT.” (Bjørn, Trott) and developing the global constraint picture of the SMEFT in “Incorporating doubly reso-nant W± data in a global fit of SMEFT parameters to lift flat directions.” (Bjørn, Berthier, Trott). Finally, the group has also produced interesting new results on what new physics theories that are integrated out can look like in this effective field theory formalism in “On the non-minimal character of the SMEFT” (Jiang, Trott).

All of these works are aimed at developing the con-sistent Effective Field Theory interpretation of LHC and other collider data in the absence of an explicit resonance discovery. This approach is gathering steam

in the particle physics community, which is evidenced by the conference held this fall at NBI “Higgs Effec-tive Field Theories 2016” which had an international attendance of about 60 people. The number of people dedicated to developing this framework is continu-ally growing and this theoretical effort is expected to dominate the large data set analysis of LHC that is just beginning.

In the EFT phenomenology group, this year Chris-tine Hartmann went on to a job in industry after suc-cessfully defending her Ph.D. thesis and producing one last opus work in the Z decay width paper men-tioned above. Mikkel Bjørn graduated his M.Sc. the-sis and went on to start a Ph.D. position in Oxford. Finally, William Shepherd went on to found a junior research group at Mainz university. Additions to the group include Ilaria Brivio, who joined this year after obtaining her Ph.D. from Madrid.

The future looks bright for advancing these EFT methods further and gathering the full benefit pos-sible from the upcoming LHC data set, stay tuned for more results.


DISCOVERIES IN TECHNIQUES OF SCATTERING AMPLITUDES

The understanding of scattering amplitudes in quan-tum field theory has been rapidly evolving in recent years, with many important contributions by mem-bers of the Discovery Center this year. This research group, led by Professors Poul Henrik Damgaard and N. Emil Bjerrum-Bohr and Assistant Professor Jacob Bourjaily at the NBIA, continued their investiga-tion into the scattering equation formalism in 2016. Working with Discovery Center associate Bo Feng from China, this group discovered new representa-tions of Yang-Mills amplitudes and powerful new methods of computation that make manifest duality between color and kinematics for amplitudes. Col-laboration with MSc alumnus Christian Baadsgaard Jepsen led to the discovery of a new set of string-like dual models for general scalar quantum field theories.

At the very beginning of 2016, Discovery member Jacob Bourjaily set a new record for the highest-order perturbative scattering amplitude in four dimensions - for two-to-two scattering - computed through eight loops. Having also set the previous record of seven loops in 2011, the new record of eight did not stand for long as it was smashed before the end of the sum-mer; the discovery of powerful new methods allowed the amplitude to be computed through ten loops!

Another important advance in our understanding of scattering amplitudes was the complete classification of strictly observable functions (to all orders) for two-to-four processes beyond the planar limit. This result was obtained through the correspondence between such functional building blocks and Grassmannian geometry, described in the book “Grassmannian Ge-ometry of Scattering Amplitudes”, written by Discov-ery member Jacob Bourjaily and published in 2016 by Cambridge University Press. Bourjaily was recent-ly awarded a Young Investigator research grant from the Villum Foundation, which will help strengthen the status of the NBIA as a world leader in the inves-tigation of scattering amplitudes.

As usual, there are no symmetry factors to consider; but it is important that

only distinct images are included in the set on the right-hand side of (3.16). As will

be discussed in section 4, the pentagon rule is strong enough to fix all coecients

but one not already fixed by the square rule through seven loops.

Proof of the Pentagon Rule

The pentagon rule (3.16) arises from examining the 5-point light-like limit of the

correlator and its relation to the five-particle amplitude (just as the square rule

arises from the 4-point light-like limit and its relation to the four-particle amplitude

explained in section 3.1). As described in section 2.3, in the pentagonal light-like

limit the correlator is directly related to the five-particle amplitude as in (2.17).

In particular let us focus on the terms involving one loop amplitudes in (2.17):

Indeed any term in the correlator which graphically has a plane embedding with

in the pentagonal light-like limit),

HINTS TOWARDS A REFORMULATION OF QUANTUM FIELD THEORIES

Not all research done in the Discovery center can be easily put into fixed categories despite and maybe be-cause of the lively collaboration among the members. In order not to disregard these exiting branches of work, by way of example, in this section, Discovery post-doc David McGady is introduced:

David McGady’s work in theoretical physics is main-ly active along two fronts, in addition to a strong, though temporarily latent third.

First, he is very interested in partition functions for relativistic quantum systems, and whether they are invariant under reversing the sign of temperature (T-reflection). Partition functions are one of the funda-mental objects which define both quantum physics and statistical mechanics, i.e. physics of large collec-tions of objects at finite-temperatures. This T-reflec-tion symmetry, which seems closely tied to a funda-mental redundancy in how temperature is encoded in statistical/quantum physics, has possible implications for classifying symmetry protected topological phases of matter in condensed matter systems (related to the 2015 Nobel prize on topology in condensed matter), restricts vacuum energies (related to the classic cos-mological constant problem), and has deep connec-tions to new statements in mathematics, chiefly in the theory of modular forms (associated with the 1994 Fields Medal awarded to Richard Borcherds for work on the Moonshine conjecture).

Second, he is interested in testing Schwinger’s clas-sic prediction that strong electric fields decay via electron-positron pair creation in the condensed mat-ter analog system of graphene. Single-layer graphene (the 2009 Nobel Prize was awarded for experimental isolation of graphene in the lab) is a flat plane of car-bon atoms in a hexagonal pattern, which has amazing electrical and mechanical properties; due its structure, the electrons in graphene behave as if they are mass-


less, charged, particles moving at high energies and move at (an effective) light-speed. As such, graphene is an analog of relativistic quantum physics, and al-lows us to possibly witness this interesting and quali-tatively important phenomenon in a well-controlled experimental setting for the first time since Schwinger worked-out the theory for this effect, in 1951.

Finally, he retains an active interest in how identical, relativistic, states interact and scatter off of each other. Recently, both at the Discovery center and interna-tionally, rich and exciting new structures hidden in scattering processes have been found that are com-pletely obscured by the traditional Feynman diagram technology. These new observations provide exciting hints of a reformulation of quantum field theory.

NEWS FROM ALICE

The study of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) took a new and exciting turn with the first collisions between lead (Pb) nuclei at the highest energy ever achieved in December 2015. The collision energy reached 5 TeV per pair of colliding nuclear particles corresponding to dazzling 1 Peta electron volts (1015 eV) kinetic energy that can be used to produce new particles. This is about 0.16 milli-Joule, or the energy of 1g when dropped from a height of 1.6 m, but concentrated in

the collision of 2 atomic nuclei. More poetically, this is comparable to the energy of a fat bumblebee hitting your cheek on a hot summer afternoon.

The Discovery ALICE team took a leading role in the preparation of the very first papers at this high energy. These first results measured the number of charged particles produced in such collisions, firstly in a narrow kinematical range (the work of Valenti-na Zaccolo) and in a subsequent unique paper that established the total number of particles produced per head-on collision between two lead nuclei (the work of Christian Holm Christensen). The result is remarkable: over 20.000 electrically charged particles are produced in every single such collision (there are around 50% more particles that are electrically neu-tral and thus difficult to measure, which brings the total production up to more than 30.000 particles per collision). These numbers are a testament to both the enormous energy density that is created during col-lisions, and to the large density of quark-anti-quark pairs that are produced; the energy density exceeds 15 GeV/fm3, more than twenty times the energy density of the proton itself. The Discovery Alice team also led the first work and paper measuring the detailed properties of the quark-gluon plasma at this energy, namely the determina-tion of the flow properties (work of You Zhou). These


allow the determination of the viscosity of the QGP and rely on a set of techniques developed at NBI/Dis-covery to study the multiparticle correlations in this very special state of matter. Viscosity is an attribute of fluids. The measured value for the viscosity is close to the lower bound predicted by theory for an ideal fluid, and indicates that the early Universe, in the age from about 1 billionth of a second to a millionth of a second after the Big Bang was close to what has been coined an ‘ideal fluid’. Unraveling the details and temperature dependence of the viscosity of the QGP is an important task that will ultimately reveal how much the quark soup interacted during the expansion of the Universe. Towards the end of 2016, another type of nuclear re-action was probed at the LHC. In collisions between

protons and lead nuclei (p+Pb collisions) the proton ‘drills’ a hole through the lead nucleus in a narrow ‘tunnel’. It has been thought earlier that this would not be sufficient to create a QGP, but new results begin to question this wisdom. The same situation applies for high-energy proton-proton collisions. In particular, it is an area of high international focus to determine if there are collective effects in collisions between simple systems. The group is pursuing a number of studies to that effect and several thesis projects are underway.Other ongoing projects aim at studying correlations of the QGP and the distribution of the number of produced particles, the high tail of which may be sen-sitive to new physics, e.g. the Color Glass Condensate

(CGC), a predicted equilibrium state of the nucleon at high energies for which gluon fusion and fission balance out. If it can demonstrated experimentally the CCG might turn out to be a counterpart to other boson condensates, but this time for a unique system ruled by the strong interaction.

At the time of writing the team is preparing for the biggest conference in the field, QuarkMatter 2017 in Chicago, where is very strongly represented with 3 major talks.


THE ICECUBE DISCOVERY GROUP

The Discovery group probes fundamental neutrino physics at the research frontier with the IceCube neutrino observatory and its low-energy sub-array, DeepCore. IceCube is the largest and most sensitive telescope in the world for extremely high energetic neutrinos from violent astrophysical sources, and with the focus on the nature of neutrino oscillations and the properties of dark matter, the Discovery group has demonstrated leading research capabilities of IceCube at much lower energies as well.

The investigations of tau neutrino events are entering the final stage of the analysis, where Michael Larson is ensuring that all uncertainties are accounted for before revealing the first result from IceCube on the appearance of oscillated tau neutrinos. This analysis on the fundamental properties of neutrino physics adds crucial information to a research field that few experiments in the world study and the work done at the Discovery Center is an integral step to establish whether additional flavors of neutrinos might exist.

With IceCube located at the South Pole, Morten’s de-ployment to the observatory in early 2016 attracted attention from media as well as from teachers and pupils at both elementary and high schools, follow-ing the daily online diary about neutrino physics,

IceCube and life at the Amundsen-Scott research station. In addition, the results on neutrino physics at the research frontier were brought to the broader public through multiple popular talks throughout the year.

The results from the search for neutrino signal from self-annihilat-ing dark matter in the galaxy has been finalized and is expected to be published in early 2017. The analysis, led by Morten Medici, did not find evidence for a neutrino signal from annihilating dark matter, but produced some of the world’s best limits on the particle properties of dark matter from our galaxy.

COSMOLOGY CLOSE AND AFAR

About twenty years ago, the ‘standard theory’ of cosmology was complemented by the puzzling dark energy in light of observations of supernovae. The simplest incarnation of dark energy is Einstein’s Cos-mological Constant. Since then, the hunt for the ex-act nature of this dark energy has sharpened, and we now try to ask if it really is a simple Cosmological Constant or something else–and how to distinguish between things we cannot observe directly–or noth-ing at all!

All evidence for the Cosmological Constant so far is indirect, and based on the simple model of Friedman, Robertson and Walker. This model originates in the 1920s, and has been further developed since then. As the name suggests, we are unable to interact with this ‘dark’ component of the Universe, and so we must in-fer its existence by observing the Cosmic Microwave Background, exploding stars, and by correlating mil-lions and millions of galaxy positions.

Staff from the Discovery Center contributed to this hunt in a paper published in Nature Scientific Re-ports, showing that the evidence for the cosmological constant in the FRW model should be reconsidered carefully. The way supernovae are used to infer cos-mic distances out to several billion light-years requires

The reconstructed energy spectrum of events expected in the search for tau neutrino appearance. The search is expected to re-sult in nearly 150.000 events from three years of data and up to 5.000 tau neutrino events predicted, increasing the number of tau neutrinos observed by neutrino telescopes by more than an order of magnitude.


careful statistical analysis. When this analysis was done on the most recent compilation of supernova observations, the evidence for a cosmological con-stant drops considerably. Researchers in the Discovery Center also look at cos-mological inferences from both the very beginning and from the very late universe. Cosmological infer-ences change with the power spectrum of the primor-dial quantum fluctuations of the early universe, as do they change when the Milky Way is in the way of our telescopes! Both these things are being researched by

students and staff in theory and directly involved in the Planck Experiment.

In the past year, the Planck Collaboration published their main results of the second and last data release including the highly cited paper about the cosmo-logical parameters. But also astrophysical results have gotten great attention, as the understanding of (com-parably) nearby astrophysical processes is an absolute prerequisite for the correct interpretation of the data regarding big questions about the beginnings of our Universe. These include, of course, the before men-tioned nature of dark energy and dark matter, but also a hypothesized phase of rapid expansion called infla-tion. As the associated parameters are to be measured at increasingly high precision, also the knowledge about potential influences, such as instrumental and astrophysical effects must increase as well. Discovery’s CMB group has been focusing mainly on the latter, pinpointing which areas deserve primary attention for future CMB experiments–in general, but also in specific for an experiment already deployed in Green-land in collaboration with colleagues at the University of California, Santa Barbara. This experiment, which was given the names Deep-Space and B-Machine, attempts to measure polarized emission on the sky at low frequencies (less than 20 GHz), which is expected to finally lead to answers

to urgent questions about Galactic foregrounds. The thereby obtained knowledge will help to get yet an-other step closer to providing answers to some of the most difficult puzzles the universe has given us.


SEARCH FOR HIDDEN PARTICLES

In 2013 a group of experimentalists and theorists have proposed a new experiment -- Search for Hid-den Particles or SHiP. Oleg Ruchayskiy, Discovery’s new associate professor, was among the authors of the original ``Expression of Interest’. The idea of the ex-periment is to search for light (few hundreds of MeV to about 10 GeV) and super-weakly interacting par-ticles. The idea received strong support from the par-

ticle physics community around the world and today SHiP is officially recognized as an “Experiment under Study” in CERN.

Oleg Ruchayskiy and Stefania Xella, also associated professor of the Discovery Center, are working on estimations of SHiP’s sensitivity towards hypotheti-cal particles - heavy neutral leptons. Oleg Ruchays-

N2,3


kiy is also working on cosmological and astrophysical implications of existence of these particles. Stefania Xella is also contributing a concrete instrumental part of the proposed experiment in collaboration with groups from Sweden.

In 2016 Oleg Ruchayskiy shared an ERC Advanced Grant NuBSM ``From Fermi to Planck: a bottom up approach’’ with Prof. M. Shaposhnikov from EPFL, Lausanne (leading host) and Leiden University (Prof. A. Boyarsky). The goal of the grant is to explore theo-retical and phenomenological consequences of hy-pothetical super-weakly interacting particles (sterile neutrinos) and identify possible means of their detec-tion.
