The gauge-invariant operators up to dimension six in the low-energy effective field theory below the electroweak scale are classified. There are 70 Hermitian dimension-five and 3631 Hermitian dimension-six operators that conserve baryon and…
The rate at which cross sections grow with energy is sensitive to the presence of extra dimensions in a rather model-independent fashion. We examine how rates would be expected to grow if there are more spatial dimensions than 3 which…
Effective field theory techniques provide us important tools to probe for physics beyond the Standard Model in a relatively model-independent way. In this work, we revisit the CP-even dimension-6 purely gluonic operator to investigate the…
Tev scale new heavy physics could significantly affect the cross-section for the rare process $e^+e^-\to H\gm $ through non-renormalizable operators involving the light SM fields. In this article we show that for $\sqs =500$ Gev and $\lam…
In this paper we compute the tree-level four-point scattering amplitude of two dilatini and two axion-dilaton fields in type IIB supergravity in AdS5 x S5. A special feature of this process is that there is an "exotic" channel in which…
We consider multiple TeV scale extra compact dimensions in an asymmetric string compactification scenario in which the SM gauge bosons can propagate into the TeV scale extra dimensions while the SM fermions are confined to the usual SM D3…
Assuming that we live on a non rigid brane with TeV-scale tension, the scalar fields that control the coordinates of our brane in the extra dimensions give rise to missing energy signals at high-energy colliders with a characteristic…
Using data consisting of top quarks produced with additional final leptons collected by the CMS detector at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=$13 TeV from 2016 to 2018 (138 fb$^{-1}$), a search for beyond standard model (BSM) physics is…
We use on-shell methods to calculate tree-level effective field theory (EFT) amplitudes, with no reference to the EFT operators. Lorentz symmetry, unitarity and Bose statistics determine the allowed kinematical structures. As a by-product,…
We present a parton-level study of electro-weak production of vector-boson pairs at the Large Hadron Collider, establishing the sensitivity to a set of dimension-six operators in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). Different…
We consider the production at the LHC of exotic composite leptons of charge Q=+2e. Such states are allowed in composite models which contain extended isospin multiplets (Iw=1 and Iw=3/2). These doubly charged leptons couple with Standard…
The assumption that the Standard Model is an Effective Field Theory (SM EFT) of a more fundamental theory at a higher, than electroweak, energy scale, implies a growth of cross-sections for electroweak Vector Boson Scattering (VBS)…
The graviton exchange diagram for the correlation function of arbitrary scalar operators is evaluated in anti-de Sitter space, AdS(d+1). This enables us to complete the computation of the 4-point amplitudes of dilaton and axion fields in…
We treat the Standard Model as the low-energy limit of an effective field theory that incorporates higher-dimensional operators to capture the effects of decoupled new physics. We consider the constraints imposed on the coefficients of…
A search for non-resonant new phenomena, originating from either contact interactions or large extra spatial dimensions, has been carried out using events with two isolated electrons or muons. These events, produced at the LHC in…
New physics near the TeV scale can generate dimension-six operators that modify the production rate and branching ratios of the Higgs boson. Here, we show how Higgs boson pair production can yield complementary information on dimension-six…
The exclusive gamma-met signal has a small standard model cross-section and is thus a good channel in which to look for signs of new physics. This signature is predicted by models with a superlight gravitino or with large extra spatial…
Invariant mass distributions of jet pairs (dijets) produced in LHC proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy sqrt(s)=7 TeV have been studied using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb^-1 recorded in 2011…
We have investigated real graviton emission in the ADD and RS model of extra dimensions through the photoproduction process pp-> p gamma p-> pGqX at the LHC. We have considered all contributions from the subprocesses gamma q -> G q, where…
The LHC data will provide sensitivity to an unification of the couplings at low energies in the range $\sim$10-100 TeV. It is demonstrated in this note that the lack of knowledge on the proton structure, specifically its gluon distribution,…
