Extensions of the Standard Model (SM) of Particle Physics can be probed either through precision measurements of SM observables or via direct searches for processes beyond the SM (BSM). This proceeding focuses on precision measurements in…
A class of models is considered in which the masses only of the third generation of quarks and leptons arise in the tree approximation, while masses for the second and first generations are produced respectively by one-loop and two-loop…
We revisit the Standard Model fit to electroweak precision observables using the latest data and the Particle Data Group value of the mass of the W boson. This analysis is repeated for the value reported by CDF. The constraints on the…
We review and update current limits on possible anomalous couplings of the top quark to gauge bosons. We consider data from top quark decay (as encoded in the $W$-boson helicity fractions) and single-top production (in the $t$-, $s$- and…
The simplest linear seesaw mechanism can accommodate the new CDF-II $W$ mass measurement. In addition to Standard Model particles, the model includes quasi-Dirac leptons, and a second, leptophilic, scalar doublet seeding small neutrino…
The mass of the W boson is one of the least precisely measured parameters of the electroweak interaction. Confronted with other measurements of standard model parameters it can test the internal consistency of the Standard Model and can…
We study constraints on new physics from the recent measurement of Br ($K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar \nu)$ by the E787 and E949 Collaborations. In our analysis we consider two models of new physics: $(a)$ extra down type singlet quark model…
The boson and fermion particle masses are calculated in a finite quantum field theory. The field theory satisfies Poincar\'e invariance, unitarity and microscopic causality, and all loop graphs are finite to all orders of perturbation…
New-physics (NP) constraints on first-generation quark-lepton interactions are particularly interesting given the large number of complementary processes and observables that have been measured. Recently, first hints for such NP effects…
The Large Hadron Collider can do precision physics at a level that is competitive with electroweak precision constraints when probing physics beyond the Standard Model. We present a simple yet general parameterization of the effect of an…
An electroweak model of SU(3) $\times$ U(1) gauge group is studied. {}From the group theoretical constraint, the symmetry breaking of this model to the standard model occurs at 1.7~TeV or lower. Hence the mass of the new neutral gauge boson…
The recent precision measurement of the $W$-boson mass reveals an exciting hint for the new physics as of the 3-3-1 model. We indicate that the 3-3-1 model contains distinct sources by itself that may cause the $W$-mass deviation, as…
Precision probes of new physics are often interpreted through their indirect sensitivity to short-distance scales. In this proceedings contribution, we focus on the question of which precision observables, at current sensitivity levels,…
We study precision electroweak constraints on the close cousin of the Littlest Higgs, the SU(6)/Sp(6) model. We identify a near-oblique limit in which the heavy W' and B' decouple from the light fermions, and then calculate oblique…
We discuss the possibility of breaking the electroweak symmetry in theories with extra dimensions via boundary conditions, without a physical Higgs scalar in the spectrum. In these models the unitarity violation scale can be delayed via the…
Recent studies of precision electroweak observables have led to the conclusion that a fourth generation is highly constrained. However, we point out that a long-lived fourth generation can reopen a large portion of the parameter space. In…
The recent high precision measurement of $W$ boson mass by CDF-II collaboration points to the contribution(s) of new physics beyond the Standard Model. One of the minimalistic ways to account for the anomalous $W$ boson mass is by…
Extracting constraints on kinetic mixing between a new $U(1)'$ gauge boson hiding under the Standard Model $Z$ boson resonance requires the formalism of non-Hermitian two-point correlation functions at 1-loop order. We derive…
