A search for the standard model Higgs boson is performed in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.1 fb$^{-1}$, recorded by the CMS detector in proton-proton collisions at the LHC with a 7 TeV center-of-mass energy.…
We report on a search for the standard-model Higgs boson in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV using an integrated luminosity of 2.0/fb. We look for production of the Higgs boson decaying to a pair of bottom quarks in association…
Motivated by the excess in the diphoton production rate of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), we investigate the possibility that one of the CP-even Higgs bosons of the extra U(1) extended minimal supersymmetric standard…
We show that the recent discovery of a new boson at the LHC, which we assume to be a Higgs boson, and the observed enhancement in its diphoton decays compared to the SM prediction, can be explained by a new doublet of charged vector bosons…
We explore the possibility of explaining the recent $\sim 750$ GeV excesses observed by ATLAS and CMS in the $\gamma\gamma$ spectrum in the context of a compelling theory of Naturalness. The potential spin-zero resonance responsible for the…
We analyze the CMS-reported t tbar excess within conventional Two-Higgs-Doublet Models of Types I, II, X, and Y, using the best-fit pseudoscalar parameters MA = 365 GeV, GammaA over MA = 2 percent, and tan beta = 1.28. Applying theoretical…
The CMS collaboration has recently reported the results of a low-mass Higgs-boson search in the di-photon final state based on the full Run 2 data set with refined analysis techniques. The new results show an excess of events at a mass of…
We consider composite Higgs models where the Higgs is a pseudo-Nambu Goldstone boson arising from the spontaneous breaking of an approximate global symmetry by some underlying strong dynamics. We focus on the SO(5) -> SO(4) symmetry…
We propose UV complete (Partially) Composite Higgs models with compositeness scale up to the Planck scale assisted by a novel mechanism. This mechanism is based on softly breaking a global $ \mathbb{Z}_2 $ symmetry by technically natural…
We present a combination of searches for the standard model Higgs boson using the full CDF Run II data set, which corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 9.45--10.0 fb$^{-1}$ collected from $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV $p{\bar{p}}$ collisions at…
Vector-Like (VL) quarks arise in the main alternatives to the supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model (SM). Given the experimental possibility of a 125 GeV Higgs boson with rates significantly different from the SM expectations, it…
The recent ATLAS and CMS diphoton resonance excesses are explored in a simple $U(1)$ gauge theory extension of the Standard Model where the resonance is the Higgs boson of the $U(1)$ symmetry breaking, $\phi$. This particle couples to…
One of the most challenging hurdles to the construction of realistic composite Higgs models is the generation of Yukawa couplings for the Standard Model fermions. This problem can be successfully addressed in approximate conformal theories…
Recent reanalysis of ALEPH data on Z -> b bar{b} + X seems to indicate an existence of the dimuon excess around 30 GeV with a branching fraction for Z -> b bar{b} mu^+ mu^- around 1.1 X 10^{-5}. In this letter, we discuss three different…
We perform a comprehensive phenomenological analysis of the Scale Invariant Two Higgs Doublet Model (\textit{SI2HDM})~\cite{Lee:2012jn}. In this framework, the electroweak symmetry breaking is triggered radiatively, and the entire scalar…
We report on searches for a standard model (SM) Higgs boson in $p\bar(p)$ collisions at a center of mass energy sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV with the CDF and D0 detectors using an integrated luminosity of more than 3.0/fb. For a SM Higgs with mass…
We construct a composite two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) within the context of dilaton effective field theory. This EFT describes the particle spectrum observed in lattice simulations of a near-conformal $SU(3)$ gauge field theory. A second…
We examine the possibility that the SU(2) gauge group of the standard model appears as the dual "magnetic" gauge group of a supersymmetric gauge theory, thus the W and Z (and through mixing, the photon) are composite (or partially…
An unspecified strong dynamics may give rise to composite vectors sufficiently light that their interactions, among themselves or with the electroweak gauge bosons, be approximately described by an effective Lagrangian invariant under…
We propose a possible explanation of the recent diphoton excess reported by ATLAS and CMS collaborations, at around 750 GeV diphoton invariant mass, within the framework of $E_{6}$ motivated Alternative Left-Right Symmetric Model (ALRSM),…
