A new Abelian gauge symmetry U(1)' is well motivated to extend the standard model or supersymmetric standard model. Leptonic Z' resonances are clean signals even at the hadron colliders. We discuss how 4-lepton and 6-lepton Z' resonances…
Results of searches for large extra dimensions in pp collisions at the center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV with the CMS detector are presented. No excess of events above the standard model expectations in up to 1.1 fb-1 of data is found.…
Interference effects are widely neglected in searches for new physics. This is the case in recent publications on searches for W'-bosons using leptonic final states. We examine the effects of interference on distributions frequently used to…
In a truly model-independent approach, we reexamine a minimal extension of the Standard Model (SM) through the introduction of an additional $U(1)$ symmetry leading to a new neutral gauge boson ($Z'$), allowing its kinetic mixing with the…
Theories with large extra dimensions can generate small neutrino masses when the standard model neutrinos are coupled to singlet fermions propagating in higher dimensions. The couplings can also generate mass splittings and mixings among…
The Drell-Yan di-lepton production at hadron colliders is by far the preferred channel to search for new heavy spin-1 particles. Traditionally, such searches have exploited the Narrow Width Approximation (NWA) for the signal, thereby…
In this paper we consider an $S^{1}/\mathbb{Z}_2$ compactified flat extra dimensional scenario where all the standard model states can access the bulk and have generalised brane localised kinetic terms. The flavour structure of brane…
The aim of this talk is to provide non-experts with a brief and elementary introduction on the field of extra dimensions. The main motivation for extra dimensions relies on the more fundamental string theories that predict ten (or eleven)…
Expectations for constraints on extra Z bosons are derived for LEP 2 and future linear e+e- colliders. For typical GUTs, a Z' with M_{Z'} \le 3 to 6 \sqrt{s} may cause observable effects. The Z' discovery limits are dominated by statistical…
Searches for new physics in high-multiplicity events with little or no missing energy are an important component of the LHC program, complementary to analyses that rely on missing energy. We consider the potential reach of searches for…
Results from various searches for new physical phenomena performed by the four LEP experiments are summarised. Topics presented include the search for contact interactions, a Z' boson, leptoquarks, excited leptons, technicolour and gravity…
We propose an idea in spectroscopy to search for extra spatial dimensions as well as to detect the possible deviation from Newton's inverse-square law at small scale, and we take high-Z hydrogenic systems and muonic atoms as illustrations.…
Large fermionic multiplets appear in different extensions of the Standard Model (SM), which are essential to predict small neutrino masses, relic abundance of the dark matter (DM) and the measured value of muon anomalous magnetic moment…
We investigate the collider implications of Split Universal Extra Dimensions. The non-vanishing fermion mass in the bulk, which is consistent with the KK-parity, largely modifies the phenomenology of Minimal Universal Exta Dimensions. We…
The discovery of a Z' and the measurement of Z' couplings to fermions are main tasks of future colliders. Here, the possibilities to measure Z' f \bar f couplings at an NLC operating below a Z' resonance are studied. In dependence on the…
It is a challenge to explain why neutrinos are so light compared to other leptons. Small neutrino masses can be explained if right-handed fermions propagate in large extra dimensions. Fermions propagating in the bulk would have implications…
We propose a scheme of searches for the Abelian $Z'$ gauge boson in the Drell-Yan process at $\sqrt{S}=1.96$ TeV. We base our considerations on renor\-ma\-li\-za\-tion-group relations between the $Z'$ couplings to standard-model fermions.…
Searches for new leptophobic resonances at high energy colliders usually target their decay modes into pairs of light quarks, top quarks, or standard model bosons. Additional decay modes may also be present, producing signatures to which…
Models predicting the existence of extra spatial dimensions offer compelling and novel solutions to outstanding problems of the Standard Model. In such models, our universe exists on a 4 dimensional brane embedded in a larger dimensional…
We present a general model with universal extra dimensions in the presence of the bulk fermion masses and boundary localized kinetic terms, which are generically allowed by symmetries of five dimensional gauge theory. We provide a…
