Within the framework of a Beyond Standard Model (BSM) with a local $SU(3)$ family symmetry, we report an updated fit of parameters which account for the known spectrum of quarks and charged lepton masses and the quark mixing in a $4\times…
A supersymmetric model with four generations is proposed, in which the top quark is approximately degenerate in mass with the $W^{\pm}$ gauge boson, $m_t\simeq m_W$, leading to values of $R_b$ in better agreement with the present…
In the NonHolomorphic Supersymmetric Standard Model (NHSSM), the Yukawa couplings of the bottom quark ($y_b$) and the tau lepton ($y_{\tau}$) might receive substantial supersymmetric (SUSY) radiative corrections which have prominent…
We study meson decays mediated by the heavy gauge bosons of the Pati-Salam model of quark-lepton unification. We consider the scenarios in which the tau lepton is associated with the third, second, and first generation of quarks. The most…

Evidence of a new particle with mass ~125 GeV decaying into a pair of tau leptons at the Large Hadron Collider spurs interest in ascertaining its spin in this channel. Here we present a comparative study between spin-0 and spin-2 nature of…
Results are presented from a search for the pair production of third-generation scalar and vector leptoquarks, as well as for top squarks in R-parity-violating supersymmetric models. In either scenario, the new, heavy particle decays into a…
Extensions of the standard model with a $U(1)$ gauge symmetry contain gauge invariant kinetic mixing, $\sin\chi$, and gauge non-invariant mass mixing, $\delta M^2$, between the hypercharge and the new gauge boson $Z'$. These represent a…
Some mechanisms of supersymmetry breaking result in splitting of the third generation sfermions from the other sfermions. We show that the three-body decay branching ratio of the lighter chargino gives a sensitive probe of the sfermion mass…
In supersymmetric theory, the sfermion-fermion-gaugino interactions conserve the chirality of (s)fermions. The effect appears as the charge asymmetry in $m(jl)$ distributions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider where jets and leptons arise…
The extensions of the minimal supersymmetric model (MSSM), driving mainly from the need to solve the \mu problem, involve novel matter species and gauge groups. These extended MSSM models can be searched for at the LHC via the effects of…
Meson spin splittings are examined within an effective Coulomb gauge QCD Hamiltonian incorporating chiral symmetry and a transverse hyperfine interaction necessary for heavy quarks. For light and heavy quarkonium systems the…
We carry out the joint study of the semileptonic tau decays into the two-meson and axion-meson channels, viz. $\tau^-\to (P_1P_2)^-\nu_\tau$ and $\tau^-\to \pi^-(K^-) a\nu_\tau$ within the framework of resonance chiral theory by including…
A search for pair production of supersymmetric particles in events with two oppositely charged leptons (electrons or muons) and missing transverse momentum is reported. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9…
If the parameter $tan \beta$ of the minimal supersymmetric model is large, then $b$ and $\tau$ Yukawa interactions are important. These can significantly modify the masses and decays of sparticles. We describe new calculations which allow a…
We perform a comprehensive analysis of the decays of charginos and neutralinos in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model where the neutralino $\chi_1^0$ is assumed to be the lightest supersymmetric particle. We focus, in particular, on…
Study of the production and decay of scalar tau lepton ($\st$) at future $\epem$ colliders helps to determine the value of $\tan\beta$ through the measurement of the polarization of $\tau$ lepton that arises from $\st$ decay. Key maps of…
