The jet mass of W bosons decaying to a quark-antiquark pair is measured in W+jets events from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data used were collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC and correspond…
Results are presented for an extraction of the top quark Yukawa coupling from top quark-antiquark ($\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$) kinematic distributions in the lepton plus jets final state in proton-proton collisions, based on data collected by the…
We report a detailed simulation study of the search for $s$-channel Higgs boson production in $e^+e^-$ collisions at a center-of-mass (c.m.) energy of $\sqrt{s}=125\,\mathrm{GeV}$ at the CERN Future Circular Collider (FCC-ee), as a means to…
We extend the so-called hyperchargeless Higgs triplet model to include a weak triplet of Dirac fermions and a Dirac fermion $X$ transforming trivially under the Standard Model gauge group. We are motivated in part by a collection of…
We consider the possibility that the diphoton excess at 750 GeV is caused by a new scalar resonance produced in photon fusion. This scenario is parametrised by only one relevant effective couplings and is thus minimal. We show that this…
We study the excesses of $R(D^{(*)})$ and muon $g-2$ in the framework of a two-Higgs-doublet model with top quark flavor-changing neutral-current (FCNC) couplings. Considering the relevant theoretical and experimental constraints, we find…
We extract constraints on the parameter space of the MW model by comparing the cross-sections for dijet, top-pair, dijet-pair, $t\bar t t \bar t$ and $b\bar b b \bar b$ productions at the LHC with the strongest available experimental limits…
In most versions of beyond the standard model (BSM) physics, the Yukawa couplings of the quarks and charged leptons are not all to the same complex scalar doublet but to different ones. Comparison to the standard model (SM) with only one…
A search is presented for three additional operators that would lead to anomalous WW$\gamma$ or WWZ couplings with respect to those in the standard model. They are constrained by studying events with two vector bosons; a W boson decaying to…
We analyze the Large Hadron Collider potential to study triple couplings of the electroweak gauge bosons using their boosted hadronic decays. Deviations from Standard Model predictions spoil cancelations present in the Standard Model…
We present a study of the dijet invariant mass distribution for the reaction $\pbp \to 2 $jets$+\gamma+X$, at a center of mass energy of 1.8 TeV, using data collected by the CDF experiment. We compare the data to predictions for the…
We consider the immediate or near-term experimental opportunities offered by some scenarios that could explain the new diphoton excess at the LHC. If the excess is due to a new particle $X_s$ at 750 GeV, additional new particles are…
We evaluate the baryon number abundance based on the charge transport scenario of top quarks in the CP-violating two Higgs doublet model, in which Yukawa interactions are aligned to avoid dangerous flavor changing neutral currents, and…
There exist several classes of theories beyond the Standard Model which contain massive spin-1 color octets, generically called "colorons". Indeed we argue that colorons inevitably appear in the spectrum whenever new colored particles feel…
In a recent article, we proposed an energy correlator-based method to achieve a precision top quark mass extraction from jet substructure, using the $W$-boson mass as a standard candle. In this paper, we perform an extensive event generator…
We present a measurement of the $W$-boson-pair production cross section in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at 1.96 TeV center-of-mass energy and the first measurement of the differential cross section as a function of jet multiplicity and leading-jet…
ATLAS and CMS recently released the first results of searches for diphoton resonances in 13 TeV data, revealing a modest excess at an invariant mass of approximately 750 GeV. We find that it is generically possible that a singlet scalar…
The effects of the final state interaction phenomenon known as colour reconnection are investigated at centre-of-mass energies in the range sqrt(s) ~ 189-209 GeV using the OPAL detector at LEP. Colour reconnection is expected to affect…
Under the assumption that the dijet excess seen by the CDF Collaboration near 150 Gev in Wjj production is due to the lightest technipion of the low-scale technicolor process $\rho_T \rightarrow W \pi_T$, we study its observability in LHC…
Inspired by the recent observation of the $D^0-\bar D^0$ mixing, we explore the effects of colored scalars on the $\Delta C=2$ process in diquark models. As an illustration, we investigate the diquarks with the quantum numbers of (6, 1,…
