We explore the ability of the Large Hadron Collider to measure the mass of the W boson. We believe that a precision better than ~ 15 MeV could be attained, based on a year of operation at low luminosity (10^(33)cm^(-2)s^(-1)). If this is…
In 1997 each LEP experiment collected approximately $55 {pb}^{-1}$ of data at a center-of-mass energy of 183 GeV. These data yield a sample of candidate $e^+e^- \to W^+W^-$ events from which the mass of the W boson, M_W, is measured. The…
Seesaw models with a small lepton number breaking can naturally accommodate electroweak-scale pseudo-Dirac neutrinos with a sizable mixing with the active neutrinos, while satisfying the light neutrino oscillation data. Due to the smallness…
Left-right symmetric gauge theory presents a minimal paradigm to accommodate massive neutrinos with all known conserved symmetries duly gauged. The work presented here is based on the argument that the see-saw mechanism does not force the…
We derive limits on a class of new physics effects that are naturally present in grand unified theories based on extended gauge groups, and in particular in $E_6$ and $SO(10)$ models. We concentrate on $i$) the effects of the mixing of new…

We continue our previous determination of the masses of the sequential fourth generation quarks in an extension of the Standard Model, and predict the mass $m_4$ ($m_L$) of the fourth generation neutrino $\nu_4$ (charged lepton $L$) by…
A search is presented for a heavy vector resonance decaying into a Z boson and the standard model Higgs boson, where the Z boson is identified through its leptonic decays to electrons, muons, or neutrinos, and the Higgs boson is identified…
A search is performed for third-generation scalar leptoquarks and heavy right-handed neutrinos in events containing one electron or muon, one hadronically decaying tau lepton, and at least two jets, using a sqrt(s) = 13 TeV pp collision…
The pseudoscalar and vector heavy meson masses are calculated in the \epsilon-regime of Heavy Meson Chiral Perturbation Theory to order \epsilon^4. The results of this calculation will allow the determination of low-energy coefficients…
A number of LHC resonance search channels display an excess in the invariant mass region of 1.8 - 2.0 TeV. Among them is a $3.4\,\sigma$ excess in the fully hadronic decay of a pair of Standard Model electroweak gauge bosons, in addition to…
We investigate the bounds on the mass of the lightest neutralino from rare meson decays within the MSSM with and without minimal flavor violation. We present explicit formulae for the two-body decays of mesons into light neutralinos and…
The decay of massive neutrinos to final states containing only invisible particles is poorly constrained experimentally. In this letter we describe the constraints that can be put on neutrino mass and lifetime using CMBR measurements. We…
We employ a Dyson-Schwinger equation model to effect a unified and uniformly accurate description of light- and heavy-meson observables, which we characterise by heavy-meson leptonic decays, semileptonic heavy-to-heavy and heavy-to-light…

We investigate a resonant leptogenesis scenario by quasi-degenerate right-handed neutrinos which have TeV-scale masses. Especially, we consider the case when two right-handed neutrinos are responsible to leptogenesis and the seesaw…
The semileptonic and leptonic decays of heavy mesons are studied as a phenomenological application and exploration of a heavy-quark limit of Dyson-Schwinger equations. The single form factor, $\xi(w)$, which characterises the semileptonic…
Dark matter particles could be superheavy (mass $M_X\gtrsim10^9~$GeV) provided that their lifetime $\tau_X$ is extremely long, i.e. greater than $\simeq 10^{22}~$yr. Such stringent constraints on $\tau_X$ are generally obtained by limiting…
