Many extensions of the leptonic sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) are known, most of them leading to observable flavor violating effects. It has been recently shown that the 1-loop contributions to lepton flavor…
The Large Hadron Collider(LHC) has completed its run at 8 TeV with the experiments ATLAS and CMS having collected about 25 $\rm fb^{-1}$ of data each. Discovery of a light Higgs boson, coupled with lack of evidence for supersymmetry at the…
The absence so far of any supersymmetric signals at the LHC pushes towards a rethinking of the assumptions underlying the MSSM. Because the large missing $E_T$ searches are inadequate to detect a LSP decaying within the detector, R-parity…
We investigate the prospects to extract supersymmetric couplings from a decay length measurement at the LHC. Specifically, we exploit the opportunity of a light and long-lived stop which is pair-produced through gluinos in association with…
We consider tri-bimaximal lepton mixing within low-scale seesaw schemes where light neutrino masses arise from TeV scale physics, potentially accessible at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Two examples are considered, based on the A4 flavor…
Within the context of composite Higgs models, recent hints on lepton-flavour non-universality in $B$ decays can be explained by a vector resonance $V$ with sizeable couplings to the Standard Model leptons ($\ell$). We argue that, in such a…
While the presence of a light stop is increasingly disfavored by the experimental limits set on R-parity conserving scenarios, the naturalness of supersymmetry could still be safely concealed in the more challenging final states predicted…
We analyze the scenario within the Next to Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM), where the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) is singlino-like neutralino. By systematically considering various possible admixtures in the…
In supersymmetry (SUSY) the flavor mixing between top-squark (stop) and charm-squark (scharm) induces the flavor-changing neutral-current (FCNC) stop decay $\tilde t_1 \to c \tilde \chi^0_1$. Searching for this decay serves as a probe of…
Heavy Neutral Leptons are popular hypothetical particles, first introduced as a way to explain neutrino oscillations, and since then extensively studied in relation to many other aspects of physics beyond the Standard Model. They also serve…
If the lighter stop eigenstate decays directly to two jets via baryonic R-parity violation, it could have escaped existing LHC and Tevatron searches in four-jet events, even for masses as small as 100 GeV. In order to recover sensitivity in…
NLSP - LSP decays could have dramatic influence on SUSY phenomenology at LHC. NLSP could have significant lifetime and could be charged. In at least two scenarios detectors must be used in a special way. They were not optimized for…
Understanding the extent to which experimental searches are sensitive to Light Stops (LST) scenarios is essential to resolve questions about naturalness, electroweak baryogenesis and Dark Matter. In this paper we characterize the reach on…
We study the 8 TeV LHC reach on pair produced heavy flavored di-jet resonances. Motivated by theories of R-parity violation in supersymmetry we concentrate on a final state with two b-jets and two light jets. We exploit b-tagging to reject…
This dissertation investigates the flavor mixing effects in supersymmetric models on electroweak precision observables, Higgs boson mass predictions, B-physics observables, quark flavor violating Higgs decays, lepton flavor violating…
We investigate the prospects for the observation of lepton flavor violation (LFV) within the nonholomorphic supersymmetric standard model (NHSSM). We examine charged lepton flavor-violating (cLFV) decays such as such $\mu \rightarrow e…
If the stop is the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP) and the mass difference to the neutralino is smaller than the top mass, it can decay via flavour-violating decay modes to $c\tilde{\chi}^0_1/u\tilde{\chi}^0_1$ or a…
We investigate the prospects for detection of lepton flavour violation in sparticle production and decays at a Linear Collider (LC), in models guided by neutrino oscillation data. We consider both slepton pair production and sleptons…
As the majority of LHC searches are focused on prompt signatures, specific long-lived particles have the potential to be overlooked by the otherwise systematic new physics programs at ATLAS and CMS. While in many cases long-lived…
Considering a third-generation squark as the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP), we investigate R-parity violating collider signatures with bilinear LH or trilinear LQD operators that may contribute to observed neutrino masses and…
