It is well known that dark matter density measurements, indirect and direct detection experiments, importantly complement the LHC in setting strong constraints on new physics scenarios. Yet, dark matter searches are subject to limitations…
We begin the study of the consequences of the existence of certain infinite matrices. Our present application is to compactness of products of topological spaces.
In this paper, a model for understanding the effects of selection using systems- level computational approaches is introduced. A number of concepts and principles essential for understanding the motivation for constructing the model will be…
First we review Veltman's suggestion to attack the naturalness problem in the Standard model by requiring absence of quadratic divergences and the resulting mass formula. Then we emphasise the influence of Veltman's suggestion in…
I will discuss the recent LHC and Planck results, which are completely compatible with the Standard Model of particle physics, and the standard cosmological model ($\Lambda$CDM), respectively. It turns out that the extension of the Standard…
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…
In this paper we obtain symmetry and monotonicity results for positive solutions to some $p$-Laplacian cooperative systems in bounded domains involving first order terms and under zero Dirichlet boundary condition.
The LHC runs at 7 and 8 TeV have led to the discovery of the Higgs boson at 125 GeV which will remain as one of the major physics discoveries of our time. Another very important result was the surprising absence of any signals of new…
Supersymmetry with heavy scalars is a model where at the LHC we have to rely on rate measurements to determine the parameters of the underlying new physics. For this example we show how to properly combine rate measurements with kinematic…
After a brief introduction to the theoretical basis of the Higgs mechanism for generating the masses of elementary particles, the experimental searches for Higgs particles will be summarized, from bounds at LEP to inferences for LHC. The…
In the past years many possible extensions of the Standard Model (SM) have been investigated. If one of this model is revealed at the LHC, we will need tools to distinguish it among the many others studied. One possibility to achieve this…
We explore the landscape of technical naturalness for nonrelativistic systems, finding surprises which challenge and enrich our relativistic intuition already in the simplest case of a single scalar field. While the immediate applications…
Prospects for SUSY discoveries and measurements at future colliders LHC and ILC are discussed. The problem of reconstructing the underlying theory and SUSY breaking mechanism is also addressed.
This review summarizes the state of the art in searches for supersymmetry at colliders on the eve of the LHC era. Supersymmetry is unique among extensions of the standard model in being motivated by naturalness, dark matter, and force…
Over the last few years several extra-dimensional models have been introduced in attempt to deal with the hierarchy problem. These models can lead to rather unique and spectacular signatures at Terascale colliders such as the LHC and ILC.…
Following a general introduction to open questions beyond the Standard Model, the prospects for addressing them in the new era opened up by the LHC are reviewed. Sample highlights are given of ways in which the LHC is already probing beyond…
The kind of supersymmetry that can be discovered at the LHC must be very much flavor-blind, which used to require very special intelligently designed models of supersymmetry breaking. This led to the pessimism for some in the community that…
We survey elementary results in Minkowski spaces (i.e. finite dimensional Banach spaces) that deserve to be collected together, and give simple proofs for some of them. We place special emphasis on planar results. Many of these results have…
We examine the fine-tuning associated to electroweak breaking in Little Higgs scenarios and find it to be always substantial and, generically, much higher than suggested by the rough estimates usually made. This is due to implicit tunings…
Studying fundamental symmetries of Nature has proven fruitful in particle physics. I argue that recent results at the LHC, and the naturalness problem highlighted by them, provide a renewed motivation for tests of CPT symmetry as a probe…
