I discuss the exciting prospects for exploring a wide range of new physics at a low-energy muon collider.
We investigate the phenomenological viability of a very light bottom squark, with a mass less than half of the Z boson mass. The decays of the Z and Higgs bosons to light sbottom pairs are, in a fairly model independent manner, strongly…
We tested several models in which the Standard Model (SM) gauge group is extended by an additional U(1) gauge symmetry, against available electroweak precision data to impose limits on the mass of the neutral Z' boson, M_Z', predicted in…
Based on the general description for Z'-Z-\gamma mixing as derived from the electroweak chiral Lagrangian, we characterize and classify the various new physics models involving the Z' boson that have appeared in the literature into five…
The electroweak symmetry may be broken by a composite Higgs which arises naturally as a bound state of the top quark if the standard model gauge fields and fermions propagate in extra dimenions. The top quark mass and the Higgs mass can be…
Over the last few years it has become increasingly clear that low energy, but high precision experiments provide a powerful and complementary window to physics beyond the Standard Model. In this note we illuminate this by using minicharged…
We study how the recent experimental results constrain the gauge sectors of U(1) extensions of the standard model using a novel representation of the parameter space. We determine the bounds on the mixing angle between the massive gauge…
We consider a system of $N$ bosons in the mean-field scaling regime for a class of interactions including the repulsive Coulomb potential. We derive an asymptotic expansion of the low-energy eigenstates and the corresponding energies, which…
While a chiral fourth generation of quarks is almost ruled out from the data on Higgs boson production and decay at the Large Hadron Collider, vector-like quarks are still a feasible option to extend the fermionic sector of the Standard…
We discuss the collider signals of large extra dimensions in which gravity as well as the SM particles propagate into the extra dimensions. These signals arise either from the production of Kaluza-Klein excitations of the SM particles and…
We undertake a phenomenological study of the extra neutral Z' boson in the Minimal Quiver Standard Model and discuss limits on the model's parameters from previous precision electroweak experiments, as well as detection prospects at the…
Equations of motion of low-energy string effective actions can be conveniently described in terms of generalized geometry and Levi-Civita connections on Courant algebroids. This approach is used to propose and prove a suitable version of…
A spin-1 weakly interacting vector boson, Z', is predicted by many new physics theories. Searches at colliders for such a Z' resonance typically focus on lepton-antilepton or top-antitop events. Here we present a novel channel with a Z'…
We investigate the minimal $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ model with extra heavy vector-like leptons or charged scalars. By studying the kinetic mixing between $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ gauge boson $Z^\prime$ and standard model photon, which is absent…
New physics models predict the possibility of extra neutral gauge bosons ($Z'$) associated with an extra $U(1)'$ gauge symmetry. We study the couplings of the Higgs boson to the $Z$ boson and $Z'$ boson predicted by the new physics models.…
We analyze the effect of flavor changing neutral currents within 331 models. In particular, we concentrate in the so-called "economical" models, which have a minimal scalar sector. Taking into account the experimental measurements of…
Based on Ref.[1], we study a composite Z' model which effectively induces the Stueckelberg model in low energy. It turns out that the mass of the composite Z' boson contains the Stueckelberg mass term in sharp contrast to the conventional…
In this work, we investigate the collider constraints on effective interactions between Dark Matter (DM) particles and electroweak gauge bosons in a systematic way. We consider the simplified models in which scalar or Dirac fermion DM…
In the context of the littlest Higgs(LH) model, we study single production of the new gauge bosons $B_{H}$, $Z_{H}$ and $W_{H}^{\pm}$ via $e^{-}\gamma$ collisions and discuss the possibility of detecting these new particles in the $TeV$…
The conventional method using low energy theorems [3] does not seem to lead to an explicit unitarity limit in the scattering processes of longitudinally polarized gauge bosons for the high energy case in the extra U(1) superstring inspired…
