We present an extension of the standard model to dark sector with an unbroken local dark $U(1)_X$ symmetry. Including various singlet portal interactions provided by the standard model Higgs, right-handed neutrinos and kinetic mixing, we…
We analyze the Next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model with Grand unification boundary conditions under current theoretical and experimental constraints. We compute the mass spectrum of the model and focus on the three lightest…
We study the phenomenology of the two Higgs doublet model with a real singlet scalar $S$ (2HDMS). The model predicts three CP-even Higgses $h_{1,2,3}$, one CP-odd $A^0$ and a pair of charged Higgs. We discuss the consistency of the 2HDMS…
M-theory compactified on a $G_2$ manifold with resolved $E_8$ singularities realizes 4d $\mathcal{N} = 1$ supersymmetric gauge theories coupled to gravity with three families of Standard Model fermions. Beginning with one $E_8$ singularity,…
We present a 6D orbifold model on $T^2/\Z2$ which emerges as intermediate step in the compactification of the heterotic string to the supersymmetric standard model in four dimensions. It has $\SU6$ gauge symmetry in the bulk and two pairs…
An extension of the left--right symmetric model has been constructed which gives in a natural way the three lepton decay modes of the proton which have been suggested as an explanation for the atmospheric neutrino anomaly. We write down the…
We consider scenarios of Higgs compositeness where the Higgs doublet arises as a pseudo-Nambu Goldstone boson. Our focus is the physical scalar ("radial") excitation associated with the global symmetry breaking vacuum, which we call the…
We consider scenarios of warped extra-dimensions with all matter fields in the bulk and in which both the hierarchy and the flavor puzzles of the Standard Model are addressed. The simplest extra dimensional extension of the Standard Model…
Left-Right symmetric theories solve the strong CP problem and explain the small Higgs quartic coupling at high energy scales via the Higgs Parity mechanism, which forces the Higgs quartic coupling to vanish at the Left-Right symmetry…
The existence of maximal and minimal mixing angles in the neutrino mixing matrix motivates the search for extensions to the Standard Model that may explain these angles. A previous study (C.I.Low and R.R.Volkas, Phys.Rev.D68,033007(2003)),…
We discuss the phenomenology of several Beyond the Standard Model (SM) extensions that include extended Higgs sectors. The models discussed are: the SM extended by a complex singlet field (CxSM), the 2-Higgs-Doublet Model with a…
We use global fits to analyze the most recent Higgs data from ATLAS, CMS and Tevatron and compare the Standard Model (SM) prediction with natural extensions of the SM. In particular we study wide classes of composite Higgs models based on…
We discuss the connection between the vacuum energy problem and the number of dark matter sectors and its relation to the cancellation of quadratic divergences both in the cosmological constant and simultaneously in the polarization tensor…
Precision electroweak data suggests the existence of a light Standard Model Higgs boson. Its width is very narrow by an accident of the fermion mass hierarchies, and so slight perturbations to the theory induce dramatic changes in the…
We explore a fermionic dark matter model with a possible extension of Standard Model (SM) of particle physics into two Higgs doublet model. Higgs doublets couple to the singlet fermionic dark matter (FDM) through a non renormalisable…
We study higher-dimensional non-supersymmetric orbifold models where the Higgs field is identified with some internal component of a gauge field. We address two important and related issues that constitute severe obstacles towards model…
The recent ATLAS and CMS experiments show the first observations of a new particle in the search for the Standard Model Higgs boson at the LHC. We revisit the scenario that high-dimensional operators of fermions must be present due to the…
Models with non-minimal Higgs sectors represent a mainstream direction in theoretical exploration of physics opportunities beyond the Standard Model. Extended scalar sectors help alleviate difficulties of the Standard Model and lead to a…
We propose a supersymmetric extension of the anomaly-free and three families nonuniversal $U(1)$ model, with the inclusion of four Higgs doublets and four Higgs singlets. The quark sector is extended by adding three exotic quark singlets,…
While the existence of a Higgs boson with a mass near 125 GeV has been clearly established, the detailed structure of the entire Higgs sector is yet unclear. Besides the Standard Model interpretation, various possibilities for extended…
