This is the user's manual of MC@NLO 4.0. This package is a practical implementation, based upon the Fortran HERWIG and Herwig++ event generators, of the MC@NLO formalism, which allows one to incorporate NLO QCD matrix elements consistently…
A search is described for the production of a pair of bottom-type vector-like quarks (B VLQs) with mass greater than 1000 GeV. Each B VLQ decays into a b quark and a Higgs boson, a b quark and a Z boson, or a t quark and a W boson. This…
New massive resonances are predicted in many extensions to the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics and constitutes one of the most promising searches for new physics at the LHC. We present a feasibility study to search for new heavy…
In this thesis, we have studied certain gluon fusion processes which proceed via quark loop diagrams at the leading order. The fact that these gluon-gluon channel processes are independent processes, their contributions towards the…

The NNLO rates of the intermediate vector boson production (IVB) are calculated and found to agree with the preliminary results of Run II at the Fermilab pbar p collider. The estimated uncertainties in NNLO predictions for the IVB rates…
We propose a model with two Higgs doublets and several $SU(2)$ scalar singlets with a global non-Abelian flavor symmetry $\mathcal{Q}_6\times\mathcal{Z}_2$. This discrete group accounts for the observed pattern of fermion masses and mixing…
