We study the bounds on minimal lepton flavour violation in the context of Type-III see-saw imposed by LHC Run I search for events which contain two charged leptons (either electron or muons of equal or opposite sign), two jets from a…
A high energy muon collider can provide new and complementary discovery potential to the LHC or future hadron colliders. Leptoquarks are a motivated class of exotic new physics models, with distinct production channels at hadron and lepton…
The production of third generation leptoquarks can give rise to multilepton events accompanied by jets and missing transverse energy. In this work we study the signals of these leptoquarks at the CERN Large Hadron Collider and compare them…
We study the impact of the multi-lepton searches at the LHC on supersymmetric models with compressed mass spectra. For such models the acceptances of the usual search strategies are significantly reduced due to requirement of large…
The parton distribution functions (PDFs) are a non-negotiable input to almost all theory predictions at hadron colliders. In this talk, I introduce PDF determination by global analysis and discuss selected topics concerning recent relevant…
After a review over past experiments and theoretical requirements from low-energy flavour physics, we argue that the possibility of low-mass leptoquarks (LQ) cannot be fully excluded due to the assumptions made in the measurements.…
A general search is presented for supersymmetric particles (sparticles) in scenarios featuring compressed mass spectra using proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC. The…
If $R$-parity is not conserved, the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) could decay via lepton number violating or baryon number violating interactions. The latter case is particularly insidious since it leads to a reduction of the…
The results of a search for vector-like top quarks using events with exactly one lepton, at least four jets, and large missing transverse momentum are reported. The search is optimised for pair production of vector-like top quarks in the…
If signals suggesting supersymmetry (SUSY) are discovered at the LHC then it will be vital to measure the spin of the new particles to demonstrate that they are indeed the predicted super-partners. A method is discussed by which the spins…
We investigate the prospects for observing lepton number violation (LNV) by two units, $|\Delta L| = 2$, at the LHC within the leptoquark variant of the Zee Model, where Majorana neutrino masses arise radiatively at one-loop. The model…
A search is presented for direct pair production of the stop, the supersymmetric partner of the top quark, in a decay through an $R$-parity violating coupling to a charged lepton and a $b$-quark. The dataset corresponds to an integrated…
We investigate the sensitivity of the Large Hadron Collider to supersymmetric setups using monotop probes in which the signal is a single top quark produced in association with missing transverse energy. Our prospective study relies on…
Supersymmetric theories with an R-parity generally yield a striking missing energy signature, with cascade decays concluding in a neutralino that escapes the detector. In theories where R-parity is broken the missing energy is replaced with…
We discuss lepton flavour violating signals at the LHC in the framework of supersymmetric theories. We consider R-parity conserving as well as R-parity violating scenarios. In the case of R-parity conservation we show that in decays of…

Results are presented from searches for R-parity-violating supersymmetry in events produced in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV at the LHC. Final states with 0, 1, 2, or multiple leptons are considered independently. The analysis is…
Rare lepton decays of the B(s), D and K mesons are sensitive probes of New Physics. In particular, the search for the decays $B^0_(s) -> \mu^+ \mu^-$ provides information on the presence of new (pseudo-)scalar particles. LHCb is well suited…
Heavy neutral leptons are present in many well-motivated beyond the Standard Model theories, sometimes being accessible at present colliders. Depending on their masses and couplings they could be long-lived and lead to events with displaced…
