We recently showed, in hep-ph/0406101, that warped extra dimensional models with bulk custodial symmetry and few TeV KK masses lead to striking signals at $B$-factories. In this paper, using a spurion analysis, we systematically study the…
We investigate the prospect of the LHC for discovering new physics effects via new strategies in the same-sign top pair and same-sign top pair associated with a $W$ boson signatures. Significant enhancement in production of same-sign top…
Experimental limits on the violation of four-dimensional Lorentz invariance imply that noncommutativity among ordinary spacetime dimensions must be small. Noncommutativity among extra, compactified spatial dimensions, however, is far less…
We investigate collider signatures of standard model extensions featuring vector-like leptons and a flavorful scalar sector. Such a framework arises naturally within asymptotically safe model building, which tames the UV behavior of the…

We study the hadron collider phenomenology of (1,0) Kaluza-Klein modes along two universal extra dimensions compactified on the chiral square. Cascade decays of spinless adjoints proceed through tree-level 3-body decays involving leptons as…

In theories with large extra dimensions, we study the top spin correlations at the Large Hadron Collider. The s-channel process mediated by graviton Kaluza-Klein modes contributes to the top-antitop pair production in addition to the…
We describe a realistic, renormalizable, supersymmetric ``quindecuplet'' model in which the top quark, left handed bottom quark, and up-type Higgs boson are composite, with a compositeness scale $\sim 1-3$ TeV. The top-Higgs Yukawa coupling…
It is shown that the nature of compactification of extra dimensions in theories of large radius compactification can be explored in several processes at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Specifically it is shown that the characteristics of…
We study the formation and detection at the next linear e^+e^- collider of bound states of level-1 quark Kaluza-Klein excitations B_KK within a scenario of universal extra-dimensions (UED). The interactions of such Kaluza-Klein excitations…
We ask what new states may lie at or below the TeV scale, with sizable flavour-dependent couplings to light quarks, putting them within reach of hadron colliders via resonant production, or in association with Standard Model states. In…
We study the phenomenology of a massive graviton $G$ with non-universal couplings to the Standard Model (SM) particles. Such a particle can arise as a warped Kaluza-Klein graviton from a framework of the Randall-Sundrum extra-dimension…

The imminent start of the Large Hadron Collider, which is expected to produce $\sim 10^8$ $t\bar{t}$ pairs per year, provides an unprecedented opportunity for top physics. As the top quark is widely expected to be rather sensitive to…
