New Abelian U(1)' gauge bosons $V_{\mu}$ can couple to the Standard Model through mixing of the associated field strength tensor $V_{\mu\nu}$ with the one from hypercharge, $F_{\mu\nu}^Y$. Here we consider early Universe sensitivity to this…

Quartic vertices provide a window into one of the most important problems in particle physics; the understanding of electroweak symmetry breaking. I survey the various processes that have been proposed to study quartic gauge boson couplings…
A search for new physics in the production of three massive gauge bosons (VVV, where V is a W or Z boson) is presented. The event selection is most effective in the Lorentz-boosted regime in which all three bosons have a transverse momentum…
Hard processes at the TeV scale exhibit enhanced (double log) EW corrections even for inclusive observables, leading to violation of the Bloch-Nordsieck theorem. This effect, previously related to the non abelian nature of free EW charges…
