We present a short review of the LHC results at 7 TeV and their implications on the Standard Model (SM) and on its Supersymmetric (SUSY) extension. In particular we discuss the exclusion range for the SM Higgs mass, the tantalizing hint of…
Limits are derived on models with extended Higgs sectors, including the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), by exploiting the data on $\tau^+ \tau^- + $ 2 jets final states, used by the CDF collaboration to place limits on third…
This paper reviews some of the most recent results from CDF and D0 experiments on searches for supersymmetry (SUSY) at the Tevatron. We focus on searches for chargino/neutralino, stop, sbottom, and long lived massive SUSY particles, on data…
The currently accepted mathematical description of the fundamental constituents and interactions of matter is the Standard Model of particle physics. Its last missing particle, the famous Higgs boson, was observed at the Large Hadron…
We consider here the constraints in SUGRA models on the SUSY parameter space due to current experimental bounds on the light Higgs mass m_h, the b-> s gamma decay, the amount of neutralino cold dark matter Omega h^2, and the muon magnetic…
The recent discovery of the Standard Model boson (SMS) and direct searches place new constraints and a new perspective on New Physics models. I mostly review supersymmetric model building, with special emphasizes on predictions of flavor…
We present the results of a search for physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM) using data of 1.1 /fb integrated luminosity collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. Fully hadronic final states were selected based on the "stransverse" mass…
Current experimental limits for new physics beyond the Standard Model and hints for deviations from Standard Model expectations will be reviewed, highlighting recent results. Possible signals that will be discussed include Higgs bosons,…
One of the most interesting puzzles in particle physics today is that new physics is expected at the TeV energy scale to solve the hierarchy problem, and stabilise the Higgs mass, but so far no unambiguous signal of new physics has been…
In this note we compare the latest 1.04 fb^{-1} LHC searches for squarks and gluinos from jets and missing transverse momentum (MET) with constraints arising from the LEP Higgs bound. For General Gauge Mediation models with moderate values…
We discuss the status of the SM - The principles - The Lagrangian - The problems - Open questions - The ways beyond. Then we consider possible physics beyond the SM - New symmetries (Gauge, SUSY, etc) - New particles (gauge, axion,…
The standard model is a successful but limited theory. There is significant theoretical motivation to believe that new physics may appear at the energy scale of a few TeV, the lower end of which is currently probed by the Fermilab Tevatron…
Till today, although the Standard Model (SM) is the most celebrated theory that explains nature almost completely, there are still some phenomena observed in nature that the SM cannot explain. That is why it is needed to look for theories…
We discuss the Higgs boson mass sum rules in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model in order to estimate the upper limits on the masses of stop quarks as well as the lower bounds on the masses of the scalar Higgs boson state. The bounds…
We present results from the search for a standard model Higgs boson using data corresponding up to 10 fb-1 of proton-antiproton collision data produced by the Fermilab Tevatron at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The data were recorded…
A search for physics beyond the standard model (SM) in final states with an electron or muon and missing transverse momentum is presented. The analysis uses data from proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected…
The present experimental and theoretical knowledge of the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking is reviewed. Data still favor a light Higgs boson, of a kind that can be comfortably accommodated in the Standard Model or in its Minimal…
Supersymmetry (SUSY) is a complete and renormalisable candidate for an extension of the Standard Model. At an energy scale not too far above the electroweak scale it would solve the hierarchy problem of the SM Higgs boson, dynamically…
We consider the natural supersymmetry scenario in the framework of the R-parity conserving minimal supersymmetric standard model (called natural MSSM) and examine the observability of stop pair production at the LHC. We first scan the…
A search for physics beyond the standard model (SM) in the final state with a hadronically decaying tau lepton and a neutrino is presented. This analysis is based on data recorded by the CMS experiment from proton-proton collisions at a…
