In this paper we explain the diphoton excess in the invariant mass M $\approx$ 750 GeV , claimed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the run-2 LHC, as the signal of a scalar singlet in a string inspired exceptional supersymmetric…
Nowadays the field of searching for a new physics became a very interesting subject in a light meson decays due to a recent results from KTeV collaboration which found the 3.3\sigma\ disagreement between Standard Model theory and their…
Observations of anomalies in the electron-positron angular correlations in high-energy decays in $^4$He, $^8$Be, and $^{12}$C have been reported recently by the ATOMKI collaboration. These could be explained by the creation and subsequent…
We combine searches for scalar resonances at the electroweak scale performed by the Large Hadron Collider experiments ATLAS and CMS where persisted excesses have been observed in recent years. Using both the side-bands of Standard Model…
We consider an extension of the Standard Model with an extra gauged $U(1)'$ symmetry in presence of a 2-Higgs Doublet Model structure of the scalar sector. We show that this scenario is able to explain the anomaly observed by the Atomki…
Employing the $^{11}$B(p,$\gamma$)$^{12}$C nuclear reaction, the angular correlation of $e^+e^-$ pairs was investigated in the angular range of $40^\circ\Theta\leq 175^\circ$ for five different proton energies between E$_p$ = 1.50 - 2.50…
We report the results of a search for a light pseudoscalar particle $a$ that couples to electrons and decays to $e^+e^-$ performed using the high-energy CERN SPS H4 electron beam. If such pseudoscalar with a mass $\simeq 17$ MeV exists, it…
The ATLAS collaboration reported excesses at around 2 TeV in the di-boson production decaying into hadronic final states. We consider the possibility of explaining the excesses with extra gauge bosons in two simple non-Abelian extensions of…
Angular correlation spectra of $e^+e^-$ pairs produced in the $^{7}$Li($p$,$\gamma$)$^{8}$Be nuclear reaction were studied at a proton beam energy of $E_p$~=~4.0~MeV, which corresponds to the excitation energy of the Giant Dipole Resonance…
We have studied measurements of the cross section for e+e- --> hadrons for center-of-mass energies in the range 20--209 GeV. We find an apparent excess over the predictions of the Standard Model across the whole range amounting to more than…
Recent experimental results from the Atomki collaboration have reported the observation of anomalous effects in Beryllium, Helium and Carbon nuclear transitions that could hint at physics beyond the Standard Model. However, the MEG-II…
This paper, together with a preceding paper, questions the so-called 'LSND anomaly': a 3.8 sigma excess of antielectronneutrino interactions over standard backgrounds, observed by the LSND Collaboration in a beam dump experiment with 800…
A series of experiments studying neutrinos from intense radioactive sources have reported a deficit in the measured event rate which, in combination, has reached a statistical significance of $\sim 5\sigma$. In this paper, we explore…
A recent update from MiniBooNE has strengthened the observed $4.8\sigma$ excess of $e$-like events. Motivated by this and other notable deviations from standard model predictions, such as the muon $(g-2)$, we propose a solution to low…
Recent anomalies in $^8$Be and $^4$He nuclear decays can be explained by postulating a fifth force mediated by a new boson $X$. The distributions of both transitions are consistent with the same $X$ mass, 17 MeV, providing kinematic…
The $4.2\,\sigma$ tension in the combined measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $a_\mu$, and the Standard Model prediction strongly suggests the existence of beyond the Standard Model physics. Following the Standard…
The anomalies recently reported in lepton pair transitions of $^8$Be$^*$ and $^4$He nuclei may be attributed to the existence of a feebly interacting light vector boson $X17$. We study the effects of this hypothetical particle in the…
We obtain limits on the anomalous coupling $HZ\gamma$ through data published by the L3 Collaboration on the process $e^+e^-\to \tau^+\tau^- \gamma$. Our analysis leads to bounds on this coupling of order $10^{-2}$, for an intermediate mass…
The new measurement of $W$-boson mass by the CDF collaboration revealed a remarkable $7\sigma$ disagreement with the Standard Model (SM) prediction. If confirmed by other experiments, then the disagreement strongly indicates the existence…
We report on an interesting realization of the QCD axion, with mass in the range $\mathcal{O}(10)$ MeV. It has previously been shown that although this scenario is stringently constrained from multiple sources, the model remains viable for…
