Two extensions of the standard model, one that includes the seesaw mechanism of type II, and the minimal supersymmetric extention to the standard model, are studied using up to 1.6 fb^{-1} of data collected in proton-proton collisions at…
We suggest an explanation for and explore the consequences of the excess around 95 GeV in the di-photon and di-tau invariant mass distributions recently reported by the CMS collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), together with the…
Search for light (within the mass range 84-200 GeV) doubly-charged Higgs bosons decaying into a pair of W-bosons has been deemed challenging using the conventional LHC searches with leptons, jets and missing transverse momentum in the final…
A search for physics beyond the standard model in events with at least three charged leptons (electrons or muons) is presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions at…
We consider a Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) constrained by the condition that assures cancellation of quadratic divergences up to the leading two-loop order. Regions in the parameter space consistent with existing experimental constraints…
In a recent publication [6], the Belle collaboration updated their analysis of the inclusive weak radiative B-meson decay, including the full dataset of (772 +_ 11) x 10^6 BBbar pairs. Their result for the branching ratio is now below the…
The fact that neutrinos are massive indicates that the Standard Model (SM) requires extension. We propose a low energy (<TeV) B-L extension of the SM, which is based on the gauge group SU(3)_C x SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y x U(1)_{B-L}. We show that…
We reconsider the possibility that all standard model gauge couplings blow up at a common scale in the ultraviolet. The simplest implementation of this idea assumes supersymmetry and the addition of a single vector-like generation of matter…
The ATLAS and CMS experiments have an ambitious search program for charged Higgs bosons. The two main searches for $H^\pm$ at the LHC have traditionally been performed in the $\tau \nu$ and $t b$ decay channels, as they provide the…
In the upcoming LHC Run 2, at $\sqrt{s} \sim13$ TeV, it is suggested to seek unusually charged ($Q= -4/3$ and $+5/3$) quarks with mass $M_Q \sim 3$ TeV which carry lepton number ($L = +2$ and $-2$ respectively) and decay superweakly to a…
We study the one-loop sensitivity of the WWV (V=gamma, Z) vertex to the new massive gauge bosons predicted by the minimal SU_L(3) X U_X(1) model, which have unusual couplings to the standard model (SM) gauge bosons. A gauge-fixing procedure…
Gauge models with massive vector leptoquarks at the TeV scale provide a successful framework for addressing the B-physics anomalies. Among them, the 4321 model has been considered as the low-energy limit of some complete theories of flavor.…
The rapidly increasing integrated luminosity collected by the CDF and D0 detectors at the Tevatron Collider has resulted in a wealth of new results from searches for Higgs bosons in the extensions of the Standard Model. Tighter limits are…
We show that the recently observed 750 GeV diphoton excess at LHC can be due to the decay of a $SU(2)_L$ singlet scalar particle having 3 units of charge under gauged $B - L$ symmetry. Such a particle arises as an essential ingredient of…
We discuss the Type-X (lepton-specific) two Higgs doublet model as a solution of the anomaly of the muon $g-2$. We consider various experimental constraints on the parameter space such as direct searches for extra Higgs bosons at the LEP II…
Many models of physics beyond the Standard Model are based on extended gauge symmetries and predict the existence of new heavy particles, often at the TeV scale. Such particles include heavy W and Z bosons, doubly charged higgses, heavy…
We consider a Standard Model extension by a heavy charged scalar gauged only under the $U_{Y}(1)$ weak hypercharge gauge group. Such an extension, being gauge invariant with respect to the SM gauge group, is a simple special case of the…
Models of Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics, like the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), often involve an extended Higgs sector, giving rise to extra neutral or charged Higgs bosons. The discovery reach expected from…
