Motivated by the observed excess of the di-photon signal in Higgs searches, $\sigma_{\gamma\gamma}/\sigma_{\rm SM}\simeq 1.5$, we argue that models with enhanced $\Gamma(h\to \gamma\gamma)$ alone are the most favorable scenarios when the…
The top quark is the heaviest known elementary particle, with a mass about 40 times larger than the mass of its isospin partner, the bottom quark. It decays almost 100% of the time to a $W$ boson and a bottom quark. Using top-antitop pairs…
The direct pair-production of the superpartner of the $\tau$-lepton, the $\widetilde{\tau}$, is one of the most interesting channels to search for SUSY in: the $\widetilde{\tau}$ is likely to be the lightest of the scalar leptons, and is…
Inspired by the $T^+_{cc}$ signal discovered by the LHCb Collaboration, we systematically investigate the doubly heavy tetraquark states with the molecule configuration $[Q_1\bar{q}_2][Q_3\bar{q}_4]$ ($Q=c$ and $b$, $q=u$, $d$ and $s$) in a…
In a particle theory model whose most readily discovered new particle is the $\sim 1$TeV bilepton resonance in same-sign leptons, currently being sought at CERN's LHC, there exist three quarks ${\cal D, S, T}$ which will be bound by QCD…
Results are presented for the electromagnetic mass splittings of the low lying hadrons. These are used to determine the non-degenerate light quark masses. It is found that m_u=2.24(10)(34), m_d=4.65(15)(32), and $m_s=97.6(2.9)(5.5)$ MeV…

A nonzero electric dipole moment of a tauon, $d_\tau$, signals CP violation and provides an important probe for new physics. We study methods to measure $d_\tau$ at low energy $e^+ e^-$ colliders through the processes $e^+e^- \to \gamma^*,…
A search for the lepton-flavor-violating decay of the tau into one charged lepton and two charged hadrons has been performed using $221.4 \mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of data collected at an $e^+e^-$ center-of-mass energy around 10.58 GeV with the…
A search for doubly charged Higgs bosons with pairs of prompt, isolated, highly energetic leptons with the same electric charge is presented. The search uses a proton-proton collision data sample at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV…
We present a search for the decay B+ --> tau+ nu_tau using 467.8 x 10^6 B B-bar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II B-Factory. We select a sample of events with one completely…
We measure the mass of the tau lepton to be 1775.1+-1.6(stat)+-1.0(syst.) MeV using tau pairs from Z0 decays. To test CPT invariance we compare the masses of the positively and negatively charged tau leptons. The relative mass difference is…
A search for resonant and non-resonant pair production of Higgs bosons in the $b\bar{b}\tau^+\tau^-$ final state is presented. The search uses 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data with $\sqrt{s}= 13$ TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment at…
Certain CP-odd momentum correlations in the production and subsequent decay of $\tau$ pairs in $e^+ e^-$ collisions are enhanced significantly when the $e^+$ and $e^-$ beams are longitudinally polarized. These may be used to probe the real…
