High-energy particle physics experiments allow for the possible existence of a new light, very weakly coupled, neutral gauge boson (the U boson). This one permits for light (spin-1/2 or spin-0) particles to be acceptable Dark Matter…

Supersymmetry is an attractive extension of the standard model of particle physics. It associates to every bosonic degree of freedom a fermionic one and vice versa. Supersymmetry unifies the coupling constants of the electromagnetic, weak…
Ground-state hyperfine splittings in hydrogen and muonium are very well measured. Their difference, after correcting for magnetic moment and reduced mass effects, is due solely to proton structure--the large QED contributions for a…
In absence of the Standard Model Higgs boson the interaction among the gauge bosons becomes strong at high energies and influences the couplings between them. Each trilinear and quartic gauge boson vertex is characterised by a set of…
In this note we establish LHC limits on a variety of benchmark models for hidden sector physics using 2011 and 2012 data. First, we consider a "hidden" U(1) gauge boson under which all Standard Model particles are uncharged at tree-level…
The idea that dark-matter interactions with Standard-Model particles may be mediated by new bosons with masses in the MeV-to-GeV range took off several years ago. Constraints on such models were soon calculated based on older measurements.…
A search is conducted for a new scalar boson $S$, with a mass distinct from that of the Higgs boson, decaying into four leptons ($\ell =$ $e$, $\mu$) via an intermediate state containing two on-shell, promptly decaying new spin-1 bosons…
We study hyperon resonances by solving coupled channel scattering equations. The coupled systems include pseudoscalar- and vector-baryon channels. The parameters of the model are restricted by making a $\chi^2$-fit to the cross section data…
