We study the jet activity that accompanies the production by gluon fusion of a new physics scalar particle decaying into photons at the LHC. In the considered scenarios, both the production and decay mechanisms are governed by loop-induced…
A search for pair-produced scalar particles decaying to a four-jet final state is presented. The analysis is performed using an integrated luminosity of 34 pb^-1 recorded by the ATLAS detector in 2010. No deviation from the Standard Model…
Motivated by the recent di-photon excess by both ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the LHC, we systematically investigate the production and di-photon decay of onia formed by pair of all possible color exotic scalars in minimal extension.…
At hadron colliders, one of the most important channels for sparticle production is expected to be the gluino pair production. In the scenario where the sbottom is lighter than the gluino, gluinos can decay into sbottom and bottom quarks.…
The recent discovery of a spin-0 Brout-Englert-Higgs boson leads to further enquire about other fundamental scalars. Supersymmetric theories involve, in relation with the electroweak breaking, five such scalars at least, two charged and…
Naturalness considerations, together with the non-observation of superpartners of the Standard Model particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) so far, favor supersymmetric (SUSY) models in which third generation squarks are significantly…
One of the versions of the SU(3)$_L\otimesU(1)_N$ electroweak model predicts charged heavy-leptons which do not belong to any class of heavy-leptons proposed up to now. We investigate the production and signatures of pairs of these…
Searches for scalar top and scalar bottom quarks, as well as for mass-degenerate scalar quarks of the first two families are performed at 189 GeV centre-of-mass energy with the L3 detector at LEP. No signals are observed. Model-independent…
Searches for stable, hadronizing scalar quarks and gluinos are performed using the data collected with the ALEPH detector at LEP. Gluon splitting into a gluino or a squark pair is searched for at centre-of-mass energies around the Z…
The first ATLAS result on a search for a high mass top pair resonance at the LHC, in the subset of events where both W bosons from the top decays decay to either a final state electron or muon, is presented. The analysis is performed on…
Axigluons are colored heavy neutral gauge boson that couple to quarks through an axial vector current and the same strong coupling as gluons. The most important model-independent manifestation of axigluons is the generation of a…
I review possible signals at hadron colliders of bileptons, namely doubly-charged vectors or scalars with lepton number L=+/- 2, as predicted by a 331 model, based on a SU(3)_c x SU(3)_L x U(1)_X symmetry. In particular, I account for a…
Cross sections of the colored scalar particle production in $pp$-collisions are calculated and differential and total cross sections of the corresponding parton subprocesses are obtained. The total cross section of scalar gluon production…
A search for scalar quarks and gluinos is performed with 0.96 fb^{-1} of data collected by the DO experiment in p\bar{p} collisions at \sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The topologies analyzed consist of acoplanar jets…
For a wide range of supersymmetric models, there is a chiral superfield whose scalar and pseudo-scalar have approximately degenerate masses and couplings to Standard Model particles. At colliders, they may show up as "superbumps": a pair of…
We study a novel production and decay mechanism for a bi-adjoint spin zero particle in the ($8,3,0$) representation of the Standard Model gauge groups. This work is part of a series studying new production processes for exotic particles in…
If the quarks or leptons are charged under a new $U(1)$ gauge symmetry, then besides a $Z'$ boson there must exist at least one new boson whose decay products include Standard Model particles. In the case of a minimal symmetry breaking…
We discuss the feasibility of seeing a Higgs boson which decays to four partons through a pair of (pseudo-)scalars at the LHC. We restrict our search to Higgs bosons produced in association with a W/Z boson at high transverse momentum. We…
Charged Higgs bosons are predicted in several extensions of the Standard Model, where the Higgs sector contains more than one doublet of complex scalars, for instance in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). For $m_{H^+} <…
A 750 GeV resonance has been observed at the Run 2 LHC in the diphoton channel. In this paper, we explain this resonance as a CP-even scalar, S, that triggers the spontaneous breaking of local $U(1)_B$ or $U(1)_{B+L}$ gauge symmetries. S…
