The effective theory based on combined chiral and heavy quark symmetry, the heavy meson chiral perturbation theory, is applied to studying the role of resonances in various processes of heavy mesons within and beyond the Standard Model.…
We propose to search for wrong displaced vertices, where decay products of the secondary vertex move towards the primary vertex instead of away from it, as a signature for microscopic violation of causality. We analyze in detail the…
Restoration of the electroweak symmetry at temperatures around the Higgs mass is linked to tight phenomenological constraints on many baryogenesis scenarios. A potential remedy can be found in mechanisms of electroweak symmetry…
Little Higgs theories are an attempt to address the little hierarchy problem, i.e., the tension between the naturalness of the electroweak scale and the precision measurements showing no evidence for new physics up to 5-10 TeV. In little…
The one-Higgs-doublet standard model is necessarily incomplete because of the triviality of the scalar symmetry-breaking sector. If the Higgs mass is approximately 600 GeV or higher, there must be additional dynamics at a scale $\Lambda$…
The Standard Model of Particle Physics and its description of Nature have been recently challenged by a series of precision measurements performed via different accelerator machines. Statistically significant anomalies emerged in the heavy…
After a brief introduction on QCD and effective models in the first chapter, I analyze the dependence of the QCD transition temperature on the quark (or pion) mass in the second chapter. I found that a linear sigma model, which links the…
Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model have been in vogue for over half a century. They have many interesting theoretical properties like calculability, absence of quadratic divergences, and phenomenologically impactful features…
Using the general, model independent form of the effective Hamiltonian, the general expressions of the longitudinal, normal and transversal polarization asymmetries for (l^-) and (l^+) and combinations of them for the exclusive (B -> K l^+…
We study the chemical freeze-out dynamics of strange particles ($K,\, \Lambda,\, \Sigma$) from a homogeneous and isotropically expanding hadronic system of $\pi, K, \rho, N, \Lambda$ and $\Sigma$ with zero net baryon density. We use the…
The equation of state $p(\epsilon)$ and speed of sound squared $c_s^2$ are studied in grand canonical ensemble of all hadron resonances having masses $\leq 2\,$GeV. This large ensemble is divided into strange and non-strange hadron…
We investigate the thermal relics as hot, warm and cold dark matter in $\mathscr{L}=\varepsilon^{2-2\beta}R^\beta+{16\pi}m_{\text{Pl}}^{-2}\mathscr{L}_m$ gravity, where $\varepsilon$ is a constant balancing the dimension of the field…
In the framework of strongly interacting dynamics for electroweak symmetry breaking, heavy composite particles may arise and cause observable effects, as they should couple strongly to the resulting Higgs boson and affect the signals that…
An electroweak model is formulated in a finite, four-dimensional quantum field theory without a Higgs particle. The W and Z masses are induced from the electroweak symmetry breaking of one-loop vacuum polarization graphs. The theory…
The hierarchy problem can be addressed by extending the four-dimensional space-time to include an extra compact spatial dimension with non-trivial "warped" metric, as first suggested by Randall and Sundrum. If the Randall-Sundrum framework…
The standard model of particle physics is an extremely successful theory of fundamental interactions, but it has many known limitations. It is therefore widely believed to be an effective field theory that describes interactions near the…
The recently discovered resonance at $125.5\, GeV$ in invariant mass distribution of $\gamma\, \gamma$ and of $l^+\,l^+\,l^-\,l^-$ may be tentatively interpreted as a scalar bound state $X$ consisting of two $W$. In the present note we…
We construct helium (He) star models with optically thick winds and compare them with the properties of Galactic Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars. Hydrostatic He-core solutions are connected smoothly to trans-sonic wind solutions that satisfy the…
The relationship between the cosmic microwave background radiation temperature and the redshift, i.e., the $T$--$z$ relation, is examined in a phenomenological dissipative model. The model contains two constant terms, as if a nonzero…
Very recently, the Large Hadron Collider was turned on. There, the experiments are aiming to test different scenarios for elementary particles interactions from SUSY, Extra dimensions to others. In fact, SUSY was invented to kill the…
