EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Cautionary tale of mismeasured tails from $q / g$ bias

Adam Martin and Tuhin S. Roy

Phys. Rev. D 94, 014003 (2016) - Published 5 July, 2016

Jet substructure techniques are increasingly used to enhance collider searches for new physics. However, the authors demonstrate that they can introduce unexpected features into background estimates that may then be misinterpreted as a signal. As an example, the apparent excess in hadronic diboson events reported at the 8TeV run of ATLAS may have arisen from such effects.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Detecting ultralight bosonic dark matter via absorption in superconductors

Yonit Hochberg, Tongyan Lin, and Kathryn M. Zurek

Phys. Rev. D 94, 015019 (2016) - Published 18 July, 2016

Dark matter particles significantly lighter than in the paradigmatic WIMP scenario are increasingly considered to be phenomenologically viable. Detecting these particles requires new experiment strategies. The paper proposes that experiments based on certain superconducting targets could detect ultralight dark matter particles with masses in the meV-eV range.
