The available data on the 125 GeV scalar $h$ is analysed to explore the room for new physics in the electroweak symmetry breaking sector. The first part of the study is model-independent, with $h$ couplings to standard model particles…
The parametric error on the QCD-coupling can be a dominant source of uncertainty in several important observables. One way to extract the coupling is to compare high order perturbative computations with lattice evaluated moments of heavy…

In this paper, we consider a compact five dimensional spacetime with the structure $\mathcal{M}^{1,3}\times S^{1}$. Generally speaking, motion on such a structure will break Lorentz invariance, allowing for causal bulk signals to propagate…

In Next Linear Colliders at TeV scale, electroweak double logarithmic corrections, which come from the infrared behaviors of theory can not be neglected. It is well known that in QED and QCD, double logarithmic corrections are resummed to…
The impact of Lorentz violation on the dynamics of a scalar field is investigated. In particular, we study the dynamics of a scalar field in the scalar-vector-tensor theory where the vector field is constrained to be unity and time like. By…
Using Chiral Perturbation Theory at one-loop we analyze the consequences of twisted boundary conditions. We point out that due to the broken Lorentz and reflection symmetry a number of unexpected terms show up in the expressions. We…
