We suggest the use of a universality-breaking observable based on lepton asymmetries as derived from the left-right asymmetry and the $\tau$ polarization at the $Z$ peak, which can efficiently constrain the parameter space of unified…
Precision probes of new physics are often interpreted through their indirect sensitivity to short-distance scales. In this proceedings contribution, we focus on the question of which precision observables, at current sensitivity levels,…
We study the possibility to measure sin^2 theta_W by neutrino-electron scattering at a value of the momentum transfer Q ~ 30 MeV with a precision of 0.24% which is only a factor three below the one obtained by LEP-I at the Z-pole. The…
We discuss various experimental tests of the left-right symmetric model possible to perform in the next generation linear colliders. We consider processes which provide sensitive probes of the basic ingredients of the model: right-handed…
We calculate the leading contribution to the left-right asymmetry in polarized M{\o}ller scattering from the superpartners in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), using an effective lagrangian approach. We determine the maximum…
In a previous paper we study the neutrino-electron scattering in the framework of a left-right symmetric model (LRSM). Constraints on the LRSM parameters $M_{Z_{2}}$ and $\phi$ were obtained. Based on new measurements we present an update…
This thesis dissertation presents a prospect for a measurement of the charge asymmetry of the W boson mass (MW+ - MW-) at the LHC within the ATLAS experiment. This measurement is of primordial importance for the LHC experimental program,…
We analyze lepton asymmetry induced in the decay of right--handed neutrinos in a class of minimal left--right symmetric models. In these models, which assume low energy supersymmetry, the Dirac neutrino mass matrix is proportional to the…
We discuss flavor symmetries in left-right symmetric theories. We show that such frameworks are a different environment for flavor symmetry model building compared to the usually considered cases. This does not only concern the need to obey…
We present recent W and charged lepton asymmetry measurements from the CDF and D0 experiments. Theoretical predictions agree with the CDF W asymmetry, measured using a new matrix element technique. These theoretical predictions are less…
Lepton and quark asymmetries at Z boson peak are a powerful means to test the couplings of the Z boson to fermions. The measurements performed at LEP and SLC colliders are reviewed, and their impact on the determination of the electroweak…
In view of the recent and future electroweak precision data accumulated at LEP and SLC, we systematically analyze possible new physics effects that may occur in the leptonic sector within the context of $SU(2)_R \times SU(2)_L \times…
We study the phenomenology of a supersymmetric left-right model, assuming minimal supergravity boundary conditions. Both left-right and (B-L) symmetries are broken at an energy scale close to, but significantly below the GUT scale. Neutrino…
We report new direct measurements of the $Z^0$-lepton coupling asymmetry parameters $A_e$, $A_{\mu}$ and $A_{\tau}$, with polarized $Z^0$'s collected by the SLD detector at the SLAC Linear Collider. The parameters are extracted from the…
The Left-Right model is a popular extension of the Standard Model that features three new neutral gauge bosons, $W^{\pm}_R$ and $Z_R$. Collider searches for a Left-Right symmetry are often concentrated on the charged right-handed current,…
The left-right symmetric model may present evidence of new physics at the era of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We use its framework to investigate the lepton number violating process $pp \to e^\pm e^\pm jj+X$ at the $\unit[14]{TeV}$ LHC.…
Scattering polarized electrons provides an important probe of the weak interactions. Precisely measuring the parity-violating left-right cross section asymmetry is the goal of a number of experiments recently completed or in progress. The…
We study the lepton angular distributions in $B\to D^{(*)} \ell \nu_{\ell}$ decays. The lepton angular asymmetries in the decays with the general effective interactions are examined. We demonstrate that the asymmetries are sensitive to new…
Contrary to the quark mixing matrix, the lepton mixing matrix could be symmetric. We study the phenomenological consequences of this possibility. In particular, we find that symmetry would imply that |U_{e3}| is larger than 0.16, i.e.,…
The flavour lepton symmetry is gauged for both the Standard Model flavor group and its extension with three degenerate right-handed neutrinos. As a consequence of anomaly cancellation, exotic leptons are introduced which induce a see-saw…
