These four lectures constitute a gentle introduction to what may lie beyond the standard model of quarks and leptons interacting through $SU(3)_c \otimes SU(2)_L \otimes U(1)_Y$ gauge bosons, prepared for an audience of graduate students in…
We analyse the sensitivity to beyond-the-Standard-Model effects of hadron-collider processes involving the interaction of two electroweak and two Higgs bosons, VVHH, with V being either a W or a Z boson. We examine current experimental…
The high-energy scattering of massive electroweak bosons, known as vector boson scattering (VBS), is a sensitive probe of new physics. VBS signatures will be thoroughly and systematically investigated at the LHC with the large data samples…
The Standard Model of particle physics has been remarkably successful in describing present experimental results. However, it is assumed to be only a low-energy effective theory which will break down at higher energy scales, theoretically…
We consider a hidden sector model of dark matter which is charged under a hidden U(1)_X gauge symmetry. Kinetic mixing of U(1)_X with the Standard Model hypercharge U(1)_Y is allowed to provide communication between the hidden sector and…
The axion is a hypothesized particle appearing in various theories beyond the Standard Model. It is a light spin-0 boson initially postulated to solve the strong CP problem and is also a strong candidate for dark matter. If the axion or an…
The Strongly Coupled Standard Model predicts a rich spectrum of excited states at the Fermi scale. We study the first radial excitations of the vector bosons. The inclusion of these new states affects the low energy phenomenology of the…
Extending the Standard Model with a new complex singlet scalar, right-handed neutrinos and a vector-like quark allows to simultaneously tackle several problems in particle physics and cosmology within a constrained framework that can be…
In Phys. Rev. Lett. 109 (2012) 231301, van den Aarssen et al. attempt to solve all the small-scale structure problems in the cold-dark-matter scenario by introducing interaction between the dark-matter particle and an MeV-mass vector boson.…
In this work, I briefly report on constraints that can be obtained on new physics models that extend the scalar sector of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics at the LHC. I concentrate on a few simple examples which serve to…
The discovery of the Higgs boson at the LHC opened up a new possibility to obtain a precise understanding of the origin of mass and the structure of the vacuum. Several theories beyond the Standard Model predict an extended Higgs sector,…
We discuss some of the signatures associated with extensions of the Standard Model related to the neutrino and electroweak symmetry breaking sectors, with and without supersymmetry. The topics include a basic discussion of the theory of…
An ultra-light axion with CP violating interactions with a dark sector and CP preserving interactions with the visible sector can act as a novel portal between dark matter and the Standard Model. In such theories, dark matter sources an…
Phenomenological implications of the anomalous baryon current in the Standard Model are discussed, in particular neutrino-photon interactions at finite baryon density. A pedagogical derivation of the baryon current anomaly is given.
We revisit the Simple Extension of the Standard Model (SESM), which can account for various tentative new physics anomalies and dark matter. The B physics anomalies, muon anomalous magnetic moment, and dark matter can be explained already…
In this paper we have obtained several new results concerning the X-boson, which is being considered recently as one of the main candidate of the dark matter particle content. The classical electrodynamics for the X-boson model was explored…
After the discovery of a particle that complies with the properties of the Higgs boson predicted by the Standard Model, particle physics has entered an exciting era. One important question is whether the scalar sector realized by Nature…
We introduce a new class of renormalisable models, consisting of a dark $SU(2)_D$ gauge sector connected to the Standard Model (SM) through a Vector-Like (VL) fermion mediator, not requiring a Higgs portal, in which a massive vector boson…
One of the main problems in Particle Physics is to understand the origin and nature of Dark Matter. An exciting possibility is to consider that the Dark Matter belongs to a new complex but hidden sector. In this paper, we assume the…
We construct a viable model of the vector coherent oscillation dark matter. The vector boson is coupled to the inflaton through the kinetic function so that the effective Hubble mass term is cancelled out. In order to avoid strong…
