Measurement of the Inclusive Z+Jet(s) Production Cross Section at CDF
We present preliminary results on inclusive Z(→ ee) boson plus jets production in p p ¯ collisions at s = 1.96 TeV , based on 1 fb −1 of data collected by the CDF experiment between February 2002 and March 2006. Inclusive jet measurements are performed as a function of p T jet and jet multiplicity for jets in the region p T jet > 30 GeV/c and | y jet | 2.1 . Results are compared to NLO pQCD predictions.

Inclusive Search for Squark and Gluino Production at CDF
We present preliminary results on the search for squark and gluino production in proton-antiproton collisions at s = 1.96 TeV using 1.1 fb −1 of CDF Run II data. Events with multiple jets of hadrons and large missing transverse energy in the final state are studied within mSUGRA framework and assuming R-parity conservation. No excess with respect to Standard Model predictions is observed. In a mSUGRA scenario with A 0 = 0 , μ 0 and tan β = 5 , we exclude masses up to about 380 GeV / c 2 at 95% C.L. in the region where gluino and squark masses are similar.

Search for new phenomena in events with a monojet and large missing transverse momentum at the LHC using the ATLAS detector
We report preliminary results on a search for new phenomena in an event sample with monojets and large missing transverse momentum in the final state. The analysis uses 1.00 fb−1 of data collected in 2011 with the ATLAS detector [1]. Good agreement is observed between the number of events in data and the Standard Model predictions. The results are translated into improved limits on a model with Large Extra Dimensions.

Z plus jets production at the tevatron
We present preliminary results on inclusive Z(→ee) boson plus jets production in pp collisions at s√ = 1.96 TeV, based on 1.7 fb-1 of data collected by the CDF experiment. Inclusive jet measurements are performed as function of pTjet and jet multiplicity for jets in the region of pTjet > 30 GeV/c and |yjet | < 2.1. Results are compared to NLO pQCD predictions and are found to be in good agreement.

Next-to-eikonal corrections in the CGC: gluon production and spin asymmetries in pA collisions
A bstractWe present a new method to systematically include corrections to the eikonal approximation in the background field formalism. Specifically, we calculate the subleading, power-suppressed corrections due to the finite width of the target or the finite energy of the projectile. Such power-suppressed corrections involve Wilson lines decorated by gradients of the background field — thus related to the density - of the target. The method is of generic applicability. As a first example, we study single inclusive gluon production in pA collisions, and various related spin asymmetries, beyond the eikonal accuracy.

The front-end system of the silicon drift detectors of ALICE
The ALICE experiment at CERN will have an inner tracker made of six barrels of semiconductor detectors. The two intermediate layers of the system will employ Silicon Drift Detectors (SDD) technology. The front-end electronics of the SDDs, which required the development of two full-custom integrated circuits, is reviewed in this paper. The design of the front-end hybrid is discussed and results obtained with full-size prototypes are presented.

Constraining the onset of viscous hydrodynamics
Abstract We derive two general criteria that can be used to constrain the initial time of the onset of 2nd-order conformal viscous hydrodynamics in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We show this explicitly for 0+1 dimensional viscous hydrodynamics and discuss how to extend the constraint to higher dimensions.

Boost-Invariant (2+1)-Dimensional Anisotropic Hydrodynamics
We present results of the application of the anisotropic hydrodynamics (aHydro) framework to (2+1)-dimensional boost-invariant systems. The necessary aHydro dynamical equations are derived by taking moments of the Boltzmann equation using a momentum-space anisotropic one-particle distribution function. We present a derivation of the necessary equations and then proceed to numerical solutions of the resulting partial differential equations using both realistic smooth Glauber initial conditions and fluctuating Monte Carlo Glauber initial conditions. For this purpose we have developed two numerical implementations: one that is based on straightforward integration of the resulting partial differential equations supplemented by a two-dimensional weighted Lax-Friedrichs smoothing in the case of fluctuating initial conditions and another that is based on the application of the Kurganov-Tadmor central scheme. For our final results we compute the collective flow of the matter via the laboratory-frame energy-momentum tensor eccentricity as a function of the assumed shear viscosity-to-entropy ratio, proper time, and impact parameter.

Generalization of Gunion-Bertsch formula for soft gluon emission
We generalize the most extensively used Gunion-Bertsch formula for the soft gluon emission in a perturbative QCD. We show that the corrections arising due to this generalization could be very important for the phenomenology of the hot and dense matter produced in the heavy-ion collisions.
