We revisit the impact of top partial compositeness on electroweak precision observables in the misaligned vacuum basis. We identify a new source for $S$ in the singlet mixing case, and for $S$-$T$ in the bi-doublet mixing, stemming from…
We present the results of a realistic global fit of the Lagrangian parameters of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model to simulated data from ILC and LHC with realistic estimates of the observable uncertainties. Higher order radiative…

We present results for the hadronic running of the electromagnetic coupling and the weak mixing angle from simulations of lattice QCD with $N_f=2+1$ flavours of $O(a)$-improved Wilson fermions. Using two different discretisations of the…
Global fits explore different parameter regions of a given model and apply constraints obtained at many energy scales. This makes it challenging to perform global fits of simplified models, which may not be valid at high energies. In this…
Baryonic effects such as AGN feedback can significantly impact the matter clustering, are harder to model from first principles, and emerge as a severe limiting factor in weak lensing cosmology. To tackle this issue, we propose a generic…
Global spin alignment of vector mesons is a sensitive probe of system vorticity and particle production mechanism in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The measurement of global spin alignment is gaining increasing interest and deserves…
The precision study of dark matter using weak lensing by large scale structure is strongly constrained by the accuracy with which one can measure galaxy shapes. Several methods have been devised but none have demonstrated the ability to…
