About this book

This book mainly investigates the precision predictions on the signal of new physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) scheme. The potential of the LHC to discover the signal of dark matter associated production with a photon is studied after including next-to-leading order QCD corrections. The factorization and resummation of t-channel top quark transverse momentum distribution in the standard model at both the Tevatron and the LHC with soft-collinear effective theory are presented. The potential of the early LHC to discover the signal of monotops is discussed. These examples illustrate the method of searching for new physics beyond what is known today with high precision.

About the author

Jian Wang obtained his Ph.D in Physics from Peking University in June 2013. Then he joined Professor Matthias Neubert’s group in Mainz, Germany as a postdoctoral fellow. His research interests are application of soft collinear effective theory (SCET) on the processes at the LHC and search for new physics beyond the Standard Model. During his PhD program, he has published 16 journal articles in total, including 1 Phys. Rev. Lett, 11 Phys. Rev. D, 3 JHEP and 1 EPJC. He received the National Scholarship for Doctoral Student in 2012, and Outstanding Graduates Awards in 2013. More details can be found in the attachment.
