A search is performed for a new resonance decaying into a lighter resonance and a Z boson. Two channels are studied, targeting the decay of the lighter resonance into either a pair of oppositely charged tau leptons or a b b-bar pair. The Z…

Mass measurement of a particle whose decay products including invisible particles is a challenging task at colliders. For a new physics model involving a dark matter candidate $N$ and a $Z_2$ symmetry that stabilizes it, a typical new…

The complex-rotated hyperspherical adiabatic method is used to study the decay of low-lying $^9$Be and $^9$B resonances into $\alpha$, $\alpha$ and $n$ or $p$. We consider six low-lying resonances of $^9$Be ($1/2^\pm$, $3/2^\pm$ and…
Light injected into a spherical dielectric body may be confined very efficiently via the mechanism of total internal reflection. The frequencies that are most confined are called resonances. If the shape of the body deviates from the…

Polarization measurements provide a detailed method to test the Standard Model and to search for new physics. Most previous studies depend on pre-selected coordinates, which blurs the significance of the results. The construction of two…
The existence of a new spin-zero particle with a mass below the electroweak scale is predicted by several theoretical models. Searches for resonant production of photon pairs at the LHC are able to probe these models. We present a search…

A new heavy resonance may be observable at the LHC if it has a significant decay branching fraction into a pair of photons. We entertain this possibility by looking at the modest excess in the diphoton invariant mass spectrum around 750 GeV…
Precision spectroscopy of atoms and molecules allows one to search for and to put stringent limits on the variation of fundamental constants. These experiments are typically interpreted in terms of variations of the fine structure constant…
