Using the QCD string theory, we investigate the physical reason of the narrow width of penta-quark baryons in terms of the large gluonic-excitation energy. In the QCD string theory, the penta-quark baryon decays via a gluonic-excited state…

Searches for resonances decaying into pairs of jets are performed using proton-proton collision data collected at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to 36 fb$^{-1}$. A low-mass search, for resonances with…
Within the left-right symmetric model (LRM) the decays $$S_1\to\mu^++\tau^-,\qquad S_1\to\mu^-+\tau^+$$ where $S_1$ is an analog of the standard model Higgs boson, are considered. The widths of this decays are found in the third order of…
SU(2) gauge theories with two quark flavours in the fundamental representation are among the most promising theories of composite dynamics describing the electroweak sector. Three out of five Goldstone bosons in these models become the…
We derive the width of the Higgs boson into vector bosons. General formulas are derived both for the on-shell decay H -> VV as well for the off-shell decays, H -> V^* V and H -> V^* V^*, where V=\gamma,W,Z. For the off-shell decays the…

We study the decay process of large-spin mesons in the context of the gauge/string duality, using generic properties of confining backgrounds and systems with flavour branes. In the string picture, meson decay corresponds to the…
Results are presented of a search for the production of new particles decaying to pairs of partons (quarks, antiquarks, or gluons), in the dijet mass spectrum in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV. The data sample corresponds to an…
The t->cH decay width has been computed in the standard model with a light Higgs boson. The corresponding branching fraction has been found to be in the range B(t->cH) ~ 10^{-13} - 10^{-14} for M_Z < m_H < 2 M_W. Our results correct the…
