The experimental determination of the properties of the newly discovered boson at the Large Hadron Collider is currently the most crucial task in high energy physics. We show how information about the spin, parity, and, more generally, the…

Searching for new resonances and finding out their properties is an essential part of any existing or future particle physics experiment. The nature of a new resonance is characterized by its spin, charge conjugation, parity, and its…

Based on the effective invariant amplitudes of the transitions $J/\psi\to\gamma X(J^P)$ and $X(J^P)\to\phi\phi$, the spin dependence of the $J/\psi\to\gamma X(J^P)\to\gamma\phi\phi$ decay amplitude is obtained in the case of the…

We present a way to determine the spin and parity of a resonance produced through gluon fusion with a decay to a $\gamma\gamma$ pair based on the transverse momentum and Collins-Soper $\phi$ distribution. This method also allows one to…

Based on the picture that the $ f_0(1370), f_0(1710), f_2(1270), f'_2(1525), \bar{K}^{*0}_2(1430)$ resonances are dynamically generated from the vector-vector interaction, we study the decays $J/\psi \to \phi (\omega) f_0(1370)…

Studies of the spin, parity and tensor couplings of the Higgs boson in the $H\rightarrow ZZ^*\rightarrow 4\ell$, $H\rightarrow WW^* \rightarrow e\nu\mu\nu$ and $H\rightarrow \gamma \gamma$ decay processes at the LHC are presented. The…

For the photoproduction of vector mesons, all single and double spin observables involving vector meson two-body decays are defined consistently in the $\gamma N$ center of mass. These definitions yield a procedure for extracting physically…

We show that a single $I=1$ spin-parity $J^{PC}= 1^{++}$ $a_1$ resonance can manifest itself as two separated mass peaks, one decaying into an S-wave $\rho\pi$ system and the second decaying into a P-wave $f_0(980)\pi$ system, with a rapid…

In this work, we study the spin density matrix element $\rho_{00}$ of the $\phi$ in the decay $J/\psi \rightarrow \eta \pi \phi$. In previous studies, a band around 1.4 GeV on the $\pi^0\phi$ distribution in Dalitz plot was reported by the…

We present prospects for tests of different spin and parity hypotheses for a particle $H$ of mass 125 GeV produced in association with a vector boson and decaying into a pair of b-quarks. We use the combined analysis of the WH->lvbb,…

Higgs decays to Z boson pairs may be exploited to determine spin and parity of the Higgs boson, a method complementary to spin-parity measurements in Higgs-strahlung. For a Higgs mass above the on-shell ZZ decay threshold, a…

We reassess the decay of the $J/\psi $ into an $\omega, \phi, K^{*0}$ and one of the $f_0(1370)$, $f_0(1710)$, $f_2(1270)$, $f'_2(1525)$, $K_0^*(1430)$ and $K_2^*(1430)$ resonances. We benefit from previous works that considered this…

The decays of the negative $G$-parity meson $J/\psi$ into even numbers of pions violate $G$-parity. Such decays, as well as other $G$-parity decays into hadrons, can be parametrized in terms of three main intermediate virtual states: one…

In this paper we consider a simple scenario where the Higgs boson and two vector resonances are supposed to arise from a new strong interacting sector. We use the ATLAS measurements of the dijet spectrum to set limits on the masses of the…
