The CDF collaboration has recently reported an updated result on the $W$-boson mass measurement, showing a $7\sigma$ deviation from the standard model prediction. The discrepancy may indicate new contributions to the Fermi coupling…
We consider the implication of the recent measurement of the W-boson mass $M_W$ [Science 376, 170 (2022)] for atomic parity violation experiments. We show that the change in $M_W$ shifts the Standard Model prediction for the ${}^{133}$Cs…
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…

Recently the CDF Collaboration has announced a new precise measurement of the $W$-boson mass $M_W$ that deviates from the Standard Model (SM) prediction by $7\sigma$. The discrepancy in $M_W$ is about $\Delta_W\simeq70$ MeV and probably…
The recent high-precision measurement of the $W$ mass by the CDF collaboration is in sharp tension with the Standard Model prediction as obtained by the electroweak fit. If confirmed, this finding can only be explained in terms of new…
A new report for the measurement of the W boson mass has been provided by the CDF II experiment. The measured value of the W boson mass is given to be $m_W^{\text{CDF II}} = 80.4335 \pm 0.0094$ GeV which shows $7\sigma$ deviation from the…
The CDF, ATLAS and LHCb have released the measurements on the W boson mass $m_W$ at $\sqrt{S}=1.96, 7, 13 TeV$, respectively. The measured values show the declining tendency, namely $m_W$ decreases with the increment of the collider energy.…
We present a model based on the implication of an exceptional E_{6}-GUT symmetry for the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. We follow a particular chain of breakings with Higgses in the 78 and 351 representations. We analyse the…
The discrepancies between the measurements of rare (semi-)leptonic $B$ decays and the corresponding Standard Model predictions point convincingly towards the existence of new physics for which a heavy neutral gauge boson ($Z^\prime$) is a…
We review the case for the photon having a tiny mass compatible with the experimental limits. We go over some possible experimental tests for such a photon mass including the violation of Lorentz symmetry. We point out that such violations…
The new measurement of the $W$-boson mass from the CDF collaboration shows a significant tension with the Standard Model prediction. We quantify this discrepancy within a state-of-the-art analysis of electroweak precision data and…
I provide a (personal) review of the current hints for physics beyond the Standard Model, called ``anomalies'', obtained both at the intensity frontier (flavour and electroweak precision observables) and in direct LHC searches. This…
This paper concerns the so-called cosmological constant problem. In order to solve it, we propose a toy model providing an extension of the dimensionality of spacetime, with an additional spatial dimension which is macroscopically…
We discuss the prediction of the $W$ boson mass in a simple extension of the Standard Model ($\Sigma {\rm SM}$) with a real scalar triplet. A shift in the $W$ mass as reported by the CDF II collaboration can naturally be accommodated by the…
The recently reported measurement of the $W$-boson mass by CDF-II collaboration is significantly heavier than that of the Standard Model prediction. We study this anomaly in the scale invariant Two-Higgs-Doublet-Model (SI-2HDM) with a…
Conventional wisdom has it that anomalous gauge-boson self-couplings can be at most a percent or so in size. We test this wisdom by computing these couplings at one loop in a generic renormalizable model of new physics. (For technical…
We propose a solution to the recent $W$ mass measurement by embedding the Standard Model within $E_6$ models. The presence of a new $U(1)$ group shifts the $W$ boson mass at the tree level and introduces a new gauge boson $Z^{\prime}$ which…
In the framework of the Standard Model the mass of the physical Higgs boson is an arbitrary parameter. In this note we examine whether it is possible to determine the ratio of $m_H /M$, where $M$ denotes any other mass in the theory, such…
We use the 2-dimensional $\sigma$ model as a toy model to study the behavior of anomalous amplitudes in the limit where the constituent quark mass is small. Symmetry arguments tell that the $\pi^o\to\gamma$ amplitude should vanish if $m\to…
