Modeling Soft Gluons and Fiducial Cross Sections: New Physics or Old QCD?

About

In this talk I will describe some of the consequences of the consistently discrepant WW cross section measured at ATLAS and CMS. I will describe models where stops can be as light as 200 GeV satisfying naturalness constraints. I will also discuss the current states of the art modeling of QCD effects in the measurement of the cross section using p_T resummation. I will show that there is a sizable effect caused by a jet veto in extrapolating to the total cross section, but ultimately not enough to explain the current discrepancy..
