We develop techniques of analyzing the unitarity of general Born-Infeld gravity actions in D-dimensional spacetimes. The determinantal form of the action allows us to find a compact expression quadratic in the metric fluctuations around constant curvature backgrounds. This is highly nontrivial since for the Born-Infeld actions, in principle, infinitely many terms in the curvature expansion should contribute to the quadratic action in the metric fluctuations around constant curvature backgrounds, which would render the unitarity analysis intractable. Moreover in even dimensions, unitarity of the theory depends only on finite number of terms built from the powers of the curvature tensor. We apply our techniques to some four-dimensional examples.

The effects of non-universal extra dimensions on the fermion electric dipole moments in the two Higgs doublet model Iltan, EO (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2004-04-01) We study the the effects of non-universal extra dimensions on the electric dipole moments of fermions in the two Higgs doublet model. We observe that the t quark and b quark electric dipole moments are sensitive to the extra dimensions, however, in the case of charged lepton electric dipole moments, this sensitivity is relatively weak.
Measurement of the underlying event activity in inclusive Z boson production in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-07-01) This paper presents a measurement of the underlying event activity in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV, performed using inclusive Z boson production events collected with the CMS experiment at the LHC. The analyzed data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2.1 fb(-1). The underlying event activity is quantified in terms of the charged particle multiplicity, as well as of the scalar sum of the charged particles' transverse momenta in different topological regions defined with...
Decomposing transverse momentum balance contributions for quenched jets in PbPb collisions at root s(NN)=2.76 TeV Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2016-11-01) Interactions between jets and the quark-gluon plasma produced in heavy ion collisions are studied via the angular distributions of summed charged-particle transverse momenta (p(T)) with respect to both the leading and subleading jet axes in high-p(T) dijet events. The contributions of charged particles in different momentum ranges to the overall event p(T) balance are decomposed into short-range jet peaks and a long-range azimuthal asymmetry in charged-particle p(T). The results for PbPb collisions are comp...
Axi-dilaton gravity in D >= 4 dimensional space-times with torsion Cebeci, H; Dereli, T (American Physical Society (APS), 2005-01-01) We study models of axi-dilaton gravity in space-time geometries with torsion. We discuss conformal rescaling rules in both Riemannian and non-Riemannian formulations. We give static, spherically symmetric solutions and examine their singularity behavior.
Measurement of the W charge asymmetry in the W -> mu nu decay mode in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector Aad, G.; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2011-06-27) This Letter reports a measurement of the muon charge asymmetry from W bosons produced in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The asymmetry is measured in the W -> mu nu decay mode as a function of the muon pseudorapidity using a data sample corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 31 pb(-1). The results are compared to predictions based on next-to-leading order calculations with various parton distribution functions. This measurement pr...
