We describe version 1.0.6 of the public C++ code 2HDMC, which can be used to perform calculations in a general, CP-conserving, two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM). The program features simple conversion between different parametrizations of the 2HDM potential, a flexible Yukawa sector specification with choices of different Z2-symmetries or more general couplings, a decay library including all two-body

We present a new model, based on color rearrangements, which at the same time can describe both hidden and open charm production in B-meson decays. The model is successfully compared to both inclusive decays, such as B→J/ψX and B→DsX, as well as exclusive ones, such as B→J/ψK(*) and B→D(*)D(*)K. It also gives a good description of the momentum distribution of direct J/ψ's, especially in the low-mo

We investigate the effects of an all order QCD resummation of soft gluon emissions for Higgs boson production in association with two hard jets. We consider both the gluon-gluon fusion and weak boson fusion processes and show how to resum a large part of the leading logarithms in the jet veto scale. Our resummation improves on previous analyses which also aim to include the effects of multiple sof

To properly discover a charged Higgs Boson (H) requires its spin and couplings to be determined. We investigate how to utilize t spin correlations to analyze the H couplings in the decay t bH + bτ + ν τ . Within the framework of a general Two-Higgs-Doublet Model, we obtain results on the spin analyzing coefficients for this decay and study in detail its spin phenomenology, focusing on the limi

The bryopsidalean alga Halimeda gained an important role as carbonate producer in Cenozoic tropical coral reefs and became a significant constituent of the modern Mediterranean seaweed flora. There are, however, open questions at which time the thermophile alga appeared in the cooler Mediterranean Sea and why it is not detected in coral reefs of the modern Persian Gulf. To unravel the biogeography

In this article, we study the fully differential observables of the exclusive production of heavy (charm and bottom) quark pairs in high-energy ultraperipheral pA and AA collisions. In these processes, the nucleus A serves as an efficient source of the photon flux, while the QCD interaction of the produced heavy-quark pair with the target (p or A) proceeds via an exchange of gluons in a color sing

Twenty years have passed since first light for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Here, we release data taken by the fourth phase of SDSS (SDSS-IV) across its first three years of operation (2014 July-2017 July). This is the third data release for SDSS-IV, and the 15th from SDSS (Data Release Fifteen; DR15). New data come from MaNGA - we release 4824 data cubes, as well as the first stellar spec

This thesis investigates the optimization of fenestration design for multi-family apartments, considering the heating demand, daylight autonomy as well as overheating. A literature review was conducted to situate the thesis focus within the broader academic field of façade optimization, and a specific apartment located in the city of Malmö was chosen as the study object. The results presented are

US counterinsurgency, thanks to geographically unbounded reach of drones, is characterized by extending wartime violence from battlefield to the monitor. In this article, we claim that the significance of the ‘new technologies’ of looking and targeting lies in their capacity to negotiate laws of war into the material world, thus determining the legitimacy of their expansive violence. Such negotiat

Research networks, new lines of inquiries, the language for such inquiries, authorship collectives and more are formed through participation in backstage practices such as conferences, symposiums, workshops etc. If we agree on the constitutive role of such practices in shaping international law (IL) as a field of knowledge and of course making of a career in scholarship then the very material cond
