The data collected at the TeVatron RunIIa have been used to look for supersymmetric charged Higgs boson and Left-Right suspersymmetric doubly charged Higgs boson. No signal of such bosons has been found and this note reports on the current…
Recent results obtained in experiments at the LHC in the field of rare $b$-hadron decays are reviewed in this contribution, with a focus on $b\to q\ell\ell$ processes. A general status is presented as well as recently completed…
In the year 2004 several milestones in the measurement of the top quark mass were reached. The DO collaboration published a significant improvement of their Run I measurement of the top quark mass, and both Tevatron experiments released…
Transverse betatron motion of the Tevatron proton beam is measured and analyzed. It is shown that the motion is coherent and excited by external sources of unknown origins. Observations of the time-varying "ghost lines" in the betatron…
Recent searches for physics beyond the standard model at high-energy colliders are reviewed, with emphasis on supersymmetry, additional space dimensions, extra gauge bosons, leptoquarks, and model-independent searches. The results reported…
Tevatron diboson measurements are reviewed, and new or recent results reported for Wgamma, Zgamma, and ZZ production in the leptonic decay modes, and for WW/WZ production in the lepton plus jets decay mode. The most stringent limits on…
Rare B decays permit stringent tests of the Standard Model and allow searches for new physics. Several rare radiative-decay studies of the B meson from the BaBar collaboration are described. So far no sign for new physics was discovered.
An overview of recent searches for exotic signatures using the ATLAS detector at the LHC is given. The results presented use data collected at center-of-mass energies of $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV and $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV, for datasets corresponding…
Here I present some recent results of the D0 and CDF collaborations on Large Extra Dimensions, Z', and SUSY searches. The experiments examine events produced by proton-antiproton collisions, with an integrated luminosity of approximately…
The phenomenology of b-production and some of the previous Run I measurements of CDF and D0 are briefly reviewed. A new analysis by CDF of Run I b-bbar angular correlations and a new measurement by D0 of Run II b-jet cross-section, are…
We present a status report on the indirect searches for New Physics performed by means of heavy flavour decays. Particular attention is devoted to the recent experimental results in B and charm physics obtained by the LHC experiments. The…
Experimental results of a search for the Xi_(3/2)(1860) cascade pentaquark state in data collected with the CDF 2 Detector in Run II at the Tevatron are presented. No evidence for these states in the neutral Xi-pi+ and doubly charged Xi-pi-…
The Tevatron experiments, CDF and D0, have produced a wealth of new B-physics results since the start of Run II in 2001. We've observed new B-hadrons, seen new effects, and increased many-fold the precision with which we know the properties…
(This is a general physics level overview article about hidden sectors, and how they motivate searches for long-lived particles. Intended for publication in Physics Today.) Searches for new physics at the Large Hadron Collider have so far…
Measurements of the top quark mass and the t-tbar and single top production cross sections, obtained by CDF and D0 Collaboration at the Tevatron, are presented. The methodology of the CDF and D0 analyses and their underlying assumptions are…
Future neutrino and cosmological experiments will perform powerful searches for new light particles. After a general introduction we discuss how a new light fermion (`sterile neutrino') could manifest.
The results of searches for new physics in events with two same-sign isolated leptons, hadronic jets, and missing transverse energy in the final state are presented. The searches use an integrated luminosity of 35 inverse picobarns of pp…
In these proceedings we summarise the recent studies of exotic hadrons performed at the LHC and Tevatron. The X(3872) production cross section and mass measurements are reported, along with the determination of its quantum numbers, the…
Run II of the Tevatron collider at Fermilab is currently scheduled to end late in 2011. Given the current performance of the collider and of the CDF and D0 detectors, it is estimated that the current data set could be approximately doubled…
The search for the Higgs boson, both in the context of the standard model and extensions to it, has been a key focus during Run II of the Tevatron. I report on the status of these searches, which are highlighted by evidence at the 3…
