We use $S_4$ discrete group to construct a neutrino flavour model which leads to $TM_1$ mixing and is consistent with the neutrino oscillation data. Using the model's constrained parameter space, we predict the values of Dirac $CP$ phase…

Given the absence of a definitive top-down indication for understanding the peculiar structure of the lepton sector, discrete flavor symmetries offer a profound perspective for examining the intricate patterns of lepton masses and mixings.…

Axion-like particles (ALPs) are typically identified as pseudoscalars whose couplings are shift-symmetry invariant with the exception of their couplings to gauge bosons and their mass term. Additionally, the ALP mass $m_a$ is usually…

Axion Like Particles (ALPs) belong to a well motivated class of particles which are part of a more complete UV theory. In this work, we initiate and present the inclusion of such ALPs or the conventional axions in the Heavy Hadron Chiral…

In this work, we re-analyze the Fermi-LAT observation of NGC 1275 to search for axion-like particle (ALP) effects and constrain ALP parameters. Instead of fitting the observed spectrum with ALP models, we adopt an alternative method for the…

We study the production of a CP-even flavon $H_F$ in proton-proton collisions and the prospects for its detection via the diphoton channel at future super hadron colliders, i.e., $pp\to H_F\to\gamma\gamma$. The theoretical framework adopted…

Axion-like particles (ALPs) are a broad class of pseudo-scalar bosons that generically arise from broken symmetries in extensions of the standard model. In many scenarios, ALPs can mix with photons in regions with high magnetic fields.…

We propose a search for long lived axion-like particles (ALPs) in exotic top decays. Flavour-violating ALPs appear as low energy effective theories for various new physics scenarios such as t-channel dark sectors or Froggatt-Nielsen models.…
