We define a minimal model with Universal Extra Dimensions, and begin to study its phenomenology. The collider signals of the first KK level are surprisingly similar to those of a supersymmetric model with a nearly degenerate superpartner…
Higgs physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) is presented in the context of an underlying strong dynamics of electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) as given by composite Higgs models. Subsequently, the study of New Physics (NP) effects in a…
There are many low-energy models of supersymmetry breaking parameters which are motivated by theoretical and experimental considerations. Here, we discuss some of the lesser-known theories of low-energy supersymmetry, and outline their…
The observation of an evaporating black hole would provide definitive information on the elementary particles present in nature. In particular, it could discover or exclude particles beyond those present in the standard model of particle…
The discovery of the Higgs boson at the LHC opened up a new possibility to obtain a precise understanding of the origin of mass and the structure of the vacuum. Several theories beyond the Standard Model predict an extended Higgs sector,…
The prospects for detecting a candidate supersymmetric dark matter particle at the LHC are reviewed, and compared with the prospects for direct and indirect searches for astrophysical dark matter, on the basis of a frequentist analysis of…
A simple method for differentiating two similar accelerator-based black hole creation mechanisms -- compactified extra dimensions and unparticle-enhanced gravity -- is discussed, in light of several properties of black hole thermodynamics.…
In these Lectures, we present a pedagogical introduction to weak scale supersymmetry phenomenology. A basic understanding of the Standard Model and of the ideas behind Grand Unification, but no prior knowledge of supersymmetry, is assumed.…
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…
These four lectures constitute a gentle introduction to what may lie beyond the standard model of quarks and leptons interacting through $SU(3)_c \otimes SU(2)_L \otimes U(1)_Y$ gauge bosons, prepared for an audience of graduate students in…
We study the origin of the Higgs field in the framework of the universal extra dimensions. It is shown that a Higgs-like Lagrangian can be extracted from a metric of an extra space. The way to distinguish our model and the Standard Model is…
After discussing alternative scenarios for the origins of the electroweak symmetry breaking, I briefly review the experimental status of the Standard Model. I explore further both the hints for, and constraints on, supposing that that a…
We study the possibility of extracting geometric information on the shape of the extra dimension from four-dimensional data such as the mass of the Kaluza-Klein (KK) mode. Assuming one compact extra dimension whose geometry can be…
The expected sensitivity of the LHC experiments to the discovery of the Higgs boson and the measurement of its properties is presented in the context of both the standard model and the its minimal supersymmetric extension. Prospects for a…
Supersymmetry (SUSY) is one of the most interesting and comprehensively studied models for new physics beyond the Standard Model. If SUSY exists in nature the Large Hadron Collider will provide excellent opportunities to search for SUSY.…
This is an auspicious moment in experimental particle physics -there are large data samples at the Tevatron and a new energy regime being explored at the Large Hadron Collider with ever larger data samples. The coincidence of these two…
The aim of this talk is to provide non-experts with a brief and elementary introduction on the field of extra dimensions. The main motivation for extra dimensions relies on the more fundamental string theories that predict ten (or eleven)…
A major focus at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be Higgs boson studies and it would be an interesting prospect to simultaneously probe for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) in the Higgs signals. In this work we show as to what…
