HIGHLIGHTED ARTICLES

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Redux on “When is the top quark a parton?”

S. Dawson, A. Ismail, and Ian Low

Phys. Rev. D 90, 014005 (2014) - Published 1 July, 2014

In processes where a heavy particle is produced with a top quark, an effective top quark parton distribution function (PDF) is investigated, revealing situations where the PDF can provide an efficacious description of the process.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Finite pulse effects on $e^{+} e^{-}$ pair creation from strong electric fields

H. Taya, H. Fujii, and K. Itakura

Phys. Rev. D 90, 014039 (2014) - Published 25 July, 2014

Electron positron pair production in a pulsed electric field background is studied, and the authors successfully identify, analytically, the transition regime between Schwinger’s non-perturbative result in a constant field and the leading order perturbative result in the case of a highly time dependent field

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Asymmetric lepton-flavor violating Higgs boson decays

Shikma Bressler, Avital Dery, and Aielet Efrati

Phys. Rev. D 90, 015025 (2014) - Published 22 July, 2014

Exploiting the asymmetry between electrons and muons in the final states of two lepton-flavor violating Higgs decays in the leptonic τ decay channel, a new method to search for such decays is found, revealing a 3σ sensitivity for discovering the decays with the current LHC data sample at 8 TeV
