RE: Discussing my own research - hunting for flavorful new phenomena at the Large Hadron Collider

Wow, it is exciting stuff that you work upon. It is great to read about it, as I am a lapsed student of physics, but I do enjoy reading about the work and papers that you guys publish!

Why is the mixed mode of production not included in the data searching? Is it a limitation of computing power? Or is it something else?

The reason is that it is not there in the minimal model, and most searches are based on the minimal model. Now that we have pointed out its importance, we hope the experimental collaborations will start looking for it (at least one of the collaborations will do it :) ).

Thanks, I guess it makes sense to search using the minimal model first, then expanding if you don't find anything.

You are welcome.

It is important to make sure all options are covered. We have no idea about the surprizes nature has prepared for us. It is thus better to try to find them out in all possible ways.
