Novel relativistic expressions are used to calculate the weak decay constants of pseudoscalar and vector mesons within the constituent quark model. Meson wave functions satisfy the quasipotential equation with the complete relativistic…
The electric and weak electric dipole form factors for heavy fermions are calculated in the context of the most general two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM). We find that the large top mass can produce a significant enhancement of the electric…
A search for heavy resonances that decay to tau lepton pairs is performed using proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 13 TeV. The data were collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 2.2…
We propose a mechanism which can reduce the Peskin and Takeuchi's S, T and U parameters in dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking models. It is interesting that not only S but also T parameter can become small even if there exists large…
The hypothesis is scrutinized that the weak interaction of hadronic systems at low energies is dominated by the coupling of the pseudoscalar, vector, and axial-vector mesons to the weak gauge bosons. The strength of the weak coupling of the…
Only photons are needed to explain the masses of the pi(0), eta, Lambda, Sigma(0), Xi(0), Omega(-), Lambda(c,+), Sigma(c,0), Xi(c,0), and Omega(c,0) mesons and baryons. Only neutrinos are needed to explain the mass of the pi(+-) mesons.…
The weak dipole moments of leptons and quarks, \ie those related to their $Z$--coupling, are reviewed. Standard Model predictions and experimental results may result in a stringent test for both their pointlike structure and also for the…
If the standard electroweak gauge model is extended to include two or more Higgs doublets, there may be a neutral Higgs boson $h$ which is light (with a mass of say 10 GeV) but the $hZZ$ coupling is suppressed so that it has so far escaped…
The decays and mixing of $K$ mesons are remarkably sensitive to the weak interactions of quarks and leptons at high energies. They provide important tests of the standard model at both first and second order in the Fermi constant $G_F$ and…
We review some recent work on nonperturbative properties of fermions and connections with chiral gauge theories. In particular, we consider one of the ultimate goals of this program: the understanding of the actual fermion mass spectrum. It…
A non-linear sigma model effective lagrangian is analyzed for theories in which supersymmetry is softly broken at scales below the electroweak symmetry breaking scale. Besides the gauge and matter supermultiplets, the low energy theory…
Future lepton colliders will provide a powerful tool for making precision experiments at energies that will range typically between 500 GeV and 2 TeV. At such high energies, one loop electroweak corrections are bigger than one could naively…
A composite model of fermions is proposed to explain the "anomaly" in $Z \rightarrow b {\bar b}$ and, to a lesser extent, in $Z \rightarrow c {\bar c}$. It contains a {\em nonsequential} fourth family whose mass of one member (the charge…
The probability of Z-boson decay to a pair of charged fermions in a strong electromagnetic field, is calculated. On the basis of a method that employs exact solutions to relativistic wave equations for charged particles, analytic…
A composite model of quarks and bosons is proposed in which a spin $1/2$ isospin doublet $\psi$ is the basic building block of quarks, $W^\pm$, $Z^0$ and Higgs boson $H^0$ in the standard model. The $\psi$ has two components $\alpha$ and…
We continue investigating the Standard Model for one generation of fermions and two parity-transformed Higgs doublets K and H advocated for in a previous work, using the one-to-one correspondence, demonstrated there, between their…
Quarks, leptons and heavy vector bosons are suggested to be composed of stable spin-1/2 preons, existing in three flavours, combined according to simple rules. Straightforward consequences of an SU(3) preon-flavour symmetry are the…
A search for resonances with masses from 50 to 300 GeV decaying into a quark-antiquark pair is presented. The search uses proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC in 2016$-$2018,…
We study signals at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations of the electroweak gauge bosons in the framework with the Standard Model (SM) gauge and fermion fields propagating in a warped extra dimension. Such a…
At the TeV scale, heavy quarks, for example the 4th generation quarks of the Standard Model with four generations, can form condensates which dynamically break the electroweak symmetry. A dense quark system may form other types of…
