A gauged $U(1)_X$ symmetry appended to the Standard Model (SM) is particularly well-motivated since it can account for the light neutrino masses by the seesaw mechanism, explain the origin of baryon asymmetry of the universe via…
The shrinking of the bottomonium spectral function towards narrow quasi-particle states in a cooling strong-interaction medium at finite baryon density is followed within a holographic bottom-up model. The 5-dimensional…
The existence of dark matter (DM) and the origin of the baryon asymmetry are persistent indications that the SM is incomplete. More recently, the ATLAS and CMS experiments have observed an excess of diphoton events with invariant mass of…
Popular extensions of the standard model of particle physics feature new fields and symmetries which could, for example, dynamically generate neutrino masses from $B-L$ spontaneous symmetry breaking. If a new light scalar that decays into…
Light scalars appear in many well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model including supersymmetric models with additional gauge singlets. Such scalars could mediate the interactions between dark matter and nuclei, giving rise to the…
Ultralight scalar dark matter may induce apparent oscillations of the muon mass, which may be directly probed via temporal shifts in the spectra of muonium and muonic atoms. Existing datasets and ongoing spectroscopy measurements with…
We recall how a new light gauge boson emerged in Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model with an extra singlet superfield, and how it could behave very much as a light pseudoscalar, with the corresponding symmetry broken at a scale…
Particle collisions at the energy frontier can probe the nature of invisible dark matter via production in association with recoiling visible objects. We propose a new potential production mode, in which dark matter is produced by the decay…
In the framework of nonrelativistic QCD, we study the radiative decays of bottomonia into charmonia, including $\Upsilon\to \chi_{cJ}\gamma$, $\Upsilon\to \eta_c\gamma$, $\eta_b\to J/\psi\gamma$, and $\chi_{bJ}\to J/\psi\gamma$. We give…
We search for di-muon decays of a low-mass Higgs boson (A^0) produced in radiative \Upsilon(1S) decays. The \Upsilon(1S) sample is selected by tagging the pion pair in the \Upsilon(2S, 3S) \to \pi^+ \pi^- \Upsilon(1S) transitions, using a…
We examine non-thermal dark matter production from a late-decaying scalar field, with a particular attention on non-renormalizable operators of D=5 through which the scalar field decays into the standard model particles and their…
In this paper another class of Dark Matter candidate particles: the pseudoscalar and scalar light bosonic candidates, is discussed. Particular care is devoted to the study of the processes for their detection (which only involves electrons…
The suppression of cosmological structure at small scales is a key signature of dark matter (DM) produced via freeze-in in the low-mass regime. We present a comprehensive analysis of its impact, incorporating recent constraints from Milky…
New light pseudoscalars, such as axion-like particles, appear in many well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model and provide an exciting target for present and future experiments. We study the experimental sensitivity for such…
Under the Initial Single Pion Emission mechanism, we study the hidden-bottom dipion decays of $\Upsilon(11020)$, i.e., $\Upsilon(11020)\to \Upsilon(nS)\pi^+\pi^-$ $(n=1,2,3)$ and $\Upsilon(11020)\to h_b(mP)\pi^+\pi^-$ $(m=1,2)$. We predict…
The upper bond on the branching ratio for $b\to s\gamma$ decays implies a stringent lower bound on the mass of the pseudoscalar Higgs boson of the MSSM if sparticles are heavy. This leads to an upper bound on the expected event rate in…
In extensions of the standard model, light scalar particles are often possible because of symmetry considerations. We study the decay of the Z boson into such particles. In particular, we consider for illustration the scalar sector of a…
We analyze the decays of the theoretically predicted lowest bottomonium hybrid $H(1P)$ to open bottom two-meson states. We do it by embedding a quark pair creation model into the Born-Oppenheimer framework which allows for a unified,…
We discuss the bounds on the mass of Dark Matter (DM) particles, coming from the analysis of DM phase-space distribution in dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs). After reviewing the existing approaches, we choose two methods to derive such a…
If dark matter (DM) carries anti-baryon number, a DM particle may annihilate with a nucleon by flipping to anti-DM. Inspired by Hylogenesis models, we introduce a single component DM model where DM is asymmetric and carries B and L as -1/2.…
