The ATLAS Collaboration at the LHC continues investigating the possibility to detect particles predicted by Little Higgs models. In this talk, the latest results on the Z/W h decays and on the hadronic decays of the new gauge bosons Z_H/W_H…
We discuss the possibility to observe new resonances at the early LHC using a phenomenological approach. We show predictions for the production of a scalar in the gg-channel and an heavy quark in the qg-channel and we compare them with the…
If the SM Higgs boson does not exist, electroweak symmetry breaking may be realized via a strong interaction with a typical scale Lambda > 1 TeV. Resonances from the strong sector may help to unitarize WW scattering, which becomes strong in…
We propose and theoretically study a possible new resonance caused by strong coupling between the Higgs-Higgs and the W_L W_L (Z_L Z_L) scattering channels, without regard to the intensity of the elastic interaction in either channel at low…
A method is proposed for distinguishing highly boosted hadronically decaying W's (W-jets) from QCD-jets using jet substructure. Previous methods, such as the filtering/mass-drop method, can give a factor of ~2 improvement in S/sqrt(B) for…
The development of techniques for identifying hadronic signals from the overwhelming multi-jet backgrounds is an important part of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) program. Of prime importance are resonances decaying into a pair of partons,…
The recently discovered resonance at $125.5\, GeV$ in invariant mass distribution of $\gamma\, \gamma$ and of $l^+\,l^+\,l^-\,l^-$ may be tentatively interpreted as a scalar bound state $X$ consisting of two $W$. In the present note we…
One of the first channels to be experimentally analyzed at the LHC is $ p + p \longrightarrow l^+ + l ^- + X $. A resonance in this channel would be a clear indication of a new gauge neutral boson, as proposed in many extended models. In…
We study the polarization of positively charged $W$'s in the scattering of massive electroweak bosons at hadron colliders. We rely on the separation of weak boson polarizations in the gauge-invariant, doubly-resonant part of the amplitude…
Phenomena related to the non-perturbative aspects of strong interactions at the LHC are discussed with emphasis on elastic and inelastic soft and hard diffraction processes. Predictions for the global characteristics and angular…
In the standard model with electroweak symmetry breaking through the Higgs mechanism, electroweak gauge-boson scattering amplitudes are large if the Higgs boson is heavy, and electroweak gauge interactions become strong. In theories with…
In this paper, the possibility to have new physics is considered at the scale of the electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) in a completely new framework. A new non-standard minimal chiral fermion extension of the Standard Model (SM) which…
More evidences have now been collected at the Large Hadron Collider suggesting the new 125 - 126 GeV boson is likely the long sought Higgs boson in the standard model. One pressing question continued being asked by theorists is whether this…
The large cross section for t-tbar production at the LHC and at any future hadron collider provides a high-statistics and relatively clean environment for a study of W boson properties: after tagging on a leptonic decay of one of the Ws and…
We study the production of vector resonances at the LHC via $WZ$ scattering processes and explore the sensitivities to these resonances for the expected future LHC luminosities. The electroweak chiral Lagrangian and the Inverse Amplitude…
We investigate the prospects of observing a neutral Higgs boson decaying into a pair of $W$ bosons (one real and the other virtual), followed by the $W$ decays into $qq' \ell\nu$ or $jj\ell\nu$ at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC).…
By including the recently discovered Higgs-like scalar $\varphi$ in the Electroweak Chiral Lagrangian, and using the Equivalence Theorem, we carry out the complete one-loop computation of the elastic scattering amplitude for the…
The effects of physics beyond the Standard Model may be parametrized by a set of higher-dimensional operators leading to an effective theory. The introduction of these operators makes the theory nonrenormalizable, and one may reasonably…
This is a cursory review of diffractive studies ( mostly elastic scattering)at the LHC with physical interpretation of the experimental data and comments to related problems of theory.
In the absence of a Higgs particle vector boson scattering amplitudes are generally described by an electroweak chiral Lagrangian below the resonance region. For a Linear Collider with CMS energy $\sqrt{s}=1.6 TeV$ and an integrated…
