The cosmological tests are tight enough now to show that the Friedmann-Lemaitre Lambda CDM cosmological model almost certainly is a useful approximation. This means general relativity theory passes significant tests of the extrapolation of…
We study the phenomenology of physics beyond the Standard Model in long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments using the most general parametrisation of heavy new physics in the framework of Standard Model Effective Theory (SMEFT), as…
Most attempts to unify general relativity with the standard model of particle physics predict violations of the equivalence principle associated in some way with the composition of the test masses. We test this idea by using observational…
A mirror-extended standard model (MESM) is offered, where in the left-right symmetric underlying action the sector of the standard model (SM) and its mirror copy have the same SU(2)\times U(1) gauge structure and parameters; the mirror…
In this contribution to the CPT'19 proceedings, we summarize efforts that use data from the MICROSCOPE space mission to search for Lorentz violation in the Standard-Model Extension.
A popular framework for exploring Lorentz violation is the Standard Model Extension. This extension contains a large number of parameters that can be bounded in various experiments. Most studies, however, focus on the fermion or photon…
We investigate the gravitational field of an extended spherically symmetric body within the framework of Extended Relativity (ER), a Lorentz-covariant formulation of relativistic gravity on a Minkowski background. Using a relativistic…
Observation of lepton number violation would represent a groundbreaking discovery with profound consequences for fundamental physics and as such, it has motivated an extensive experimental program searching for neutrinoless double beta…
The Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) provides a powerful, model-independent framework to explore deviations from the Standard Model (SM) by parametrising potential new physics through higher-dimensional operators. This thesis…
STEP (the Satellite Test of the Equivalence Principle) will advance experimental limits on violations of Einstein's equivalence principle (EP) from their present sensitivity of 2 parts in 10^13 to 1 part in 10^18 through multiple comparison…
We formalize energy-scaling arguments in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) to estimate effects of operators up to dimension ten. Introducing a classification based on the number of external legs and an energy-counting…
We give a brief overview of beyond the Standard Model (BSM) theories with an extended scalar sector and their phenomenological status in the light of recent experimental results. We discuss the relevant theoretical and experimental…
We use measurements from the Planck satellite mission and galaxy redshift surveys over the last decade to test three of the basic assumptions of the standard model of cosmology, $\Lambda$CDM: the spatial curvature of the universe, the…
Despite their success, General Relativity (GR) and the Standard Model (SM) are currently understood as effective field theories only valid up to some energy (length) scale, where new physics is expected to appear. We review the framework of…
The Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) theoretical framework is increasingly used to interpret particle physics measurements and constrain physics beyond the Standard Model. We investigate the truncation of the effective-operator…
Cosmological observations are beginning to reach a level of precision that allow us to test some of the most fundamental assumptions in our working model of the Universe. One such an assumption is that gravity is governed by the General…
This article is devoted to finding classical point-particle equivalents for the fermion sector of the nonminimal Standard-Model Extension (SME). For a series of nonminimal operators, such Lagrangians are derived at first order in Lorentz…

Modifications of general relativity provide an alternative explanation to dark energy for the observed acceleration of the universe. We review recent developments in modified gravity theories, focusing on higher dimensional approaches and…
In this lectures, we give a review about the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and the General Singlet Extensions of the MSSM (GSEMSSM). We, first introduce the minimal set of fields to built both models. Then we introduce their…
