We discuss the symmetries of quenched QCD with Wilson fermions, starting from its lagrangian formulation, taking into account the constraints needed for convergence of the ghost-quark functional integral. We construct the corresponding…
A large CP-violating phase uncovered recently by CDF and D$\O$ collaborations in the time-dependent CP asymmetry (CPA) of the $B_s\to J/\Psi \phi$ decay clearly indicates that a non-Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) phase has to be brought…
The one loop corrected effective Lagrangian for the quark-squark-chargino and quark-squark-neutralino interactions is computed. The effective Lagrangian takes into account the loop corrections arising from the exchange of the gluinos,…
We perform a systematic study of flavor-changing neutral currents (FCNCs) in the 331 model with right-handed neutrinos (331RHNs), analyzing constraints on the $Z^\prime$ boson mass from $K$-, $D$-, $B_d$-, and $B_s$-meson oscillations. By…
We study the collider phenomenology of the electroweak phase transition and electroweak baryogenesis in the framework of the effective field theory. Our study shows that the effective theory using the dimension-6 operators can enforce…
Effective Lagrangians are a useful tool for a data-driven approach to physics beyond the Standard Model at the LHC. However, for the new physics scales accessible at the LHC, the effective operator expansion is only relatively slowly…
Factorization theorems play a crucial role in our understanding of the strong interaction. For collider processes they are typically formulated at leading power and much less is known about power corrections in the $\lambda\ll 1$ expansion.…
Electromagnetic (EM) interactions are incorporated in a recently proposed effective field theory of the nuclear many-body problem. Earlier work with this effective theory exhibited EM couplings that are correct only to lowest order in both…
On the basis of the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism, we study quark flavor mixings in the $SU(6) \times SU(2)_R$ model. The characteristic structure of the CKM matrix is attributed to the hierarchical effective Yukawa couplings due to the…
In models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking due to strongly coupled fourth-family quarks and leptons, their low-energy effective descriptions may involve multiple composite Higgs fields, leading to a possibility that the…
We explore the effective field theory of a vector field $X^\mu$ that has a St\"uckelberg mass. The absence of a gauge symmetry for $X^\mu$ implies Lorentz-invariant operators are constructed directly from $X^\mu$. Beyond the kinetic and…
We study a simple extension of the Standard Model with a vector-like down-type quark $D$ and a neutral singlet scalar ${\cal S}=S_R,\Phi$. The scalar is considered in two forms, a real field $S_R=S_R^\dagger$ and a complex field…
Effective Lagrangians were originally used only at the tree level as so-called phenomenological Lagrangians since they were in general non-renormalizable. Today they are treated as effective field theories valid below a characteristic…
The construction of the effective Lagrangian relevant for the mesonic sector of QCD in the large N_c limit meets with a few rather subtle problems. We thoroughly examine these and show that, if the variables of the effective theory are…
The baryon differential spectrum of the baryon decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \ell \bar{\nu}_\ell$ will be measured in detail at LHCb. We obtain new results on the form factors in the heavy quark expansion of Heavy Quark Effective Theory…
We study extensions of the Standard Model where the charged current weak interactions are governed by the CKM matrix and where all tree-level decays are dominated by their Standard Model contribution. We constrain both analytically and…
We show that in a Complementary two-Higgs doublet model(C2HDM) the CP violating phase in the CKM matrix can be generated spontaneously, dangerous FCNC can be naturally suppressed and the strong CP problem can also be avoided. The two Higgs…
Unitarity triangles and characteristic measurables of the $3\times 3$ Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix are discussed. Beyond the $3\times 3$ CKM scheme we make a rephasing-invariant generalization of the Gronau-Wyler-Dunietz approach…
This letter documents a search for flavour-changing neutral currents (FCNCs), which are strongly suppressed in the Standard Model, in events with a photon and a top quark with the ATLAS detector. The analysis uses data collected in $pp$…
The multi-Higgs models having spontaneous CP violation (SPCV) and natural flavor conservation (NFC) lead to a real CKM matrix $V$ contradicting current evidence in favour of a complex $V$. This contradiction can be removed by using a…
