We investigate the maximal approximate flavor symmetry in the framework of generic minimal supersymmetric standard model. We consider the low energy effective theory of the flavor physics with all the possible operators included.…
We investigate flavour violating four Fermi Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) operators of dimension-six that can be probed via $tc ~(\bar{t}c+t\bar{c})$ production at the multi-TeV muon collider. We study different FCNC and…
We present current bounds on SMEFT operators that are mainly constrained by Higgs-boson observables, under different assumptions for the flavour structure of the UV theory. We investigate how the accuracy reached through a dedicated…
We calculate the complete tree and one-loop matching of the dimension 6 Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) with unbroken $U(3)^5$ flavour symmetry to the operators of the Weak Effective Theory (WET) which are responsible for…
This is a brief summary of the latest searches for virtual effects of new physics in the top sector. In the framework of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), I show how to resolve the structure of effective couplings by…
The modern viewpoint is that the Standard Model is the leading part of an effective field theory that obeys the symmetry $SU(3)_C \times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y$. Since the discovery of the Higgs boson, it is generally assumed that this…
In particle physics, the modern view is to categorize things in terms of effective field theories (EFTs). Above the weak scale, we have the SMEFT, formed when the heavy new physics (NP) is integrated out, and for which the Standard Model…
Relevance of the discrete symmetries for explanation of the observed flavor structures in the leptonic sector is considered. Achievements of the "traditional'' discrete symmetry approach and the modular symmetry approach are confronted.…
In a previous analysis presented in hep-ph/0412166, electroweak constraints were given on arbitrary linear combinations of a set of dimension-6 operators. Flavor universality and thus U(3)^5 flavor symmetry were assumed for the operators.…
Even if some experimental evidence suggests the existence of physics beyond the SM, no clues of new resonances can be found in the data. In the case their masses are much larger than the energies of current experiments, the SMEFT formalism…
New singlet scalar bosons have broad phenomenological utility and feature prominently in many extensions of the Standard Model. Such scalars are often taken to have Higgs-like couplings to SM fermions in order to evade stringent flavor…
We propose a scenario which accommodates all the masses and mixings of the SM fermions in a model of warped extra-dimensions with all matter fields in the bulk. In this scenario, the same flavor symmetric structure is imposed on all the…
We investigate quark flavor signals in three different supersymmetric models, the minimal supergravity, the SU(5) SUSY GUT with right handed neutrinos, and the minimal supersymmetric standard model with U(2) flavor symmetry, in order to…
Finding all possible UV resonances of effective operators is an important task in the bottom-up approach of effective field theory. We present all the tree-level UV resonances for the dimension-5, -6 and -7 operators in the Standard Model…
We present a class of supersymmetric models in which symmetry considerations alone dictate the form of the soft SUSY breaking Lagrangian. We develop a class of minimal models, denoted as sMSSM -- for flavor symmetry-based minimal…
We describe a model of quarks which identifies the large global symmetries of little Higgs models with the global flavor symmetries that arise in a deconstruction of the extra-dimensional 'topological insulator' model of flavor. The…
The flavor symmetry-breaking scale in the Froggatt-Nielsen (FN) mechanism is very weakly constrained by present experiments, and can lie anywhere from a few TeV to the Planck scale. We construct two minimal, non-supersymmetric, ultraviolet…
The flavor protection in composite Higgs models with partial compositeness is known to be insufficient. We explore the possibility to alleviate the tension with CP odd observables by assuming that flavor or CP are symmetries of the…
We outline a systematic strategy which should help in this decade to identify New Physics beyond the Standard Model by means of quark flavour violating processes and thereby to extend the picture of short distance physics down to the scales…
We discuss scenarios for BSM physics near the TeV, motivated by the hierarchy problem and the flavour puzzle, and review their experimental tests at present and future colliders. Strong LHC constraints on couplings to light quarks motivate…
