The Curious Concept That Almost Nobody Seemed to Care About at First: Virtual Particles in the Post-War Period. [PDF]
Abstract Short‐lived, unobservable, and not subject to the usual rules of conservation of energy and momentum, virtual particles—an integral part of the conceptual framework of quantum field theory (QFT)—exhibit a number of curious characteristics which, in recent decades, have in part fueled important discussions about their ontological status ...

This article describes the implementation of low‐frequency axion haloscope setups inside the future BabyIAXO magnet. The RADES proposal has a potential sensitivity to the axion‐photon coupling down to values corresponding to the KSVZ model, in the mass range between 1 and 2 μ$\umu$eV.

Resurgence of a de Sitter Glauber‐Sudarshan State: Nodal Diagrams and Borel Resummation
Abstract It is shown in this article that an explicit construction of a four‐dimensional de Sitter space may be performed using a diagrammatic approach via nodal diagrams emanating from the path integral representation of the Glauber‐Sudarshan state. Sum of these diagrams typically leads to an asymptotic series of Gevrey kind which can then be Borel ...

The global electroweak fit at NNLO and prospects for the LHC and ILC [PDF]
For a long time, global fits of the electroweak sector of the Standard Model (SM) have been used to exploit measurements of electroweak precision observables at lepton colliders (LEP, SLC), together with measurements at hadron colliders (Tevatron, LHC ...

Automation of electroweak corrections for LHC processes [PDF]
For the Run 2 of the LHC next-to-leading order electroweak corrections will play an important role. Even though they are typically moderate at the level of total cross sections they can lead to substantial deviations in the shapes of distributions.

NLO electroweak corrections to multi-boson processes at a muon collider
We present results on NLO electroweak (EW) corrections to multiple massive boson production processes at a future muon collider. Inclusive cross sections with O $$ \mathcal{O} $$ (α) corrections for processes for up to four bosons in the final state as ...

Broken electroweak phase at high temperature in the Littlest Higgs model with T-parity [PDF]
We have examined in detail the nonrestoration of symmetry at high temperature in a finite-temperature Littlest Higgs model, without and with T-parity, by evaluating the one-loop-order finite-temperature integrals of the effective potential numerically ...

Hadronic effects in Møller scattering at NNLO
Two-loop electroweak corrections to polarized Møller scattering are studied in two different schemes at low energies. We find the finite Q 2 corrections to be well under control.

Like-sign W-boson scattering at the LHC — approximations and full next-to-leading-order predictions
We present a new calculation of next-to-leading-order corrections of the strong and electroweak interactions to like-sign W-boson scattering at the Large Hadron Collider, implemented in the Monte Carlo integrator Bonsay. The calculation includes leptonic

ZFITTER: a semi-analytical program for fermion pair production in e+e- annihilation, from version 6.21 to version 6.42 [PDF]
ZFITTER is a Fortran program for the calculation of fermion pair production and radiative corrections at high energy e+e- colliders; it is also suitable for other applications where electroweak radiative corrections appear.
