We study gauge hierarchy problem of the Standard Model (SM) not by introducing new physics at the electroweak scale but by utilizing gravitational frames, frames generated by conformal transformations, as a renormalization medium. The…
We follow the example of Cabibbo by revising the Standard Model (SM) to present a universal mass structure for fermions. A universal Higgs coupling for each species of fundamental fermions moves the SM towards a Theory of Matter, albeit…
In this paper, we examine the coupling of matter fields to gravity within the framework of the Standard Model of particle physics. The coupling is described in terms of Weyl fermions of a definite chirality, and employs only (anti)self-dual…
So far, the Standard Model of particle physics (SM) describes the phenomenology observed in high energy physics. In the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is expected to find the Higgs boson, which is an essential part of SM; also expects to see…
Precise measurements of SM particles properties at the LHC allows to look for heavy New Physics in the context of an Effective Field Theory (EFT). These searches, however, often rely on kinematic regions where the validity of the EFT may be…
We present a combined analysis of LHC Higgs data (signal strengths) together with LEP-2 WW production measurements. To characterize possible deviations from the Standard Model (SM) predictions, we employ the framework of an Effective Field…
After more than a decade from its discovery, the Higgs boson remains at the centre of the particle physics programme. While its couplings to vector bosons and third-generation fermions have been measured with impressive precision, the…
We put forward a model, or rather a relatively broad class of models, beyond the Standard Model based on the two main assumptions: MPP) The coupling constants should be fixed such as to ensure that there be many ``vacuum states'', i.e.…
These lectures aim to provide a pedagogical introduction to the philosophical underpinnings and technical features of Effective Field Theory (EFT). Improving control of $S$-matrix elements in the presence of a large hierarchy of physical…
Numerous confirmations may indicate that, besides the problem of Higgs sector many external parameters, the Standard Model is a complete low energy particle interaction theory not crying for new physics. But there are serious problems with…
Recent developments in the Standard Model analysis of semileptonic charged-current processes involving light quarks have revealed $\sim 3\sigma$ tensions in Cabibbo universality tests involving meson, neutron, and nuclear beta decays. In…
The study of Standard Model (SM) physics is crucial at the LHC for several reasons. Before any discovery can be claimed a detailed understanding of the detectors should be reached and benchmark SM processes should be measured. A precise…
An extension of the Standard Model is proposed, where the Higgs field is valued in the complex projective plane ${\mathbb{CP}}^2$, rather than ${\mathbb{C}}^2$. Its geometry is consistent with $U(2) \simeq (SU(2) \times U(1))/ \mathbb{Z}_2$…
The Standard Model (SM) of Particle Physics was tested to great precision by experiments at the highest energy colliders (LEP, Hera, Tevatron, SLAC). The only missing particle is the Higgs boson, which will be the first particle to be…
After listing basic properties of the Standard Model (SM) that play the crucial role in the field of flavour and CP violation, we discuss the following topics: 1) CKM matrix and the unitarity triangle. 2) Theoretical framework in a…
We present a minimal model for particle physics and cosmology. The Standard Model (SM) particle content is extended by three right-handed SM-singlet neutrinos N_i and a vector-like quark Q, all of them being charged under a global lepton…
We present a practical three-step procedure of using the Standard Model effective field theory (SM EFT) to connect ultraviolet (UV) models of new physics with weak scale precision observables. With this procedure, one can interpret…
The goal of these lectures is to introduce readers with a basic knowledge of undergraduate physics (specifically non-relativistic quantum mechanics, special relativity, and electromagnetism) to the `current theory of everything': the…
We show that the local conformal group $C$ is a natural symmetry group of strong, electroweak and gravitational interactions. A model for these interactions invariant under the local symmetry group $G=SU(3)\times SU(2)_{L}\times U(1)\times…
The Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) provides a systematic framework to probe indirect effects of heavy new physics via precision measurements. While SMEFT constraints have been extensively studied using purely leptonic $Z$…
