We study the production of a single resonance at the LHC and its decay into a pair of Z bosons. We demonstrate how full reconstruction of the final states allows us to determine the spin and parity of the resonance and restricts its…
We study the radiative decay of the $Z$ boson, $Z \to \mu^+\mu^-\gamma$, at the LHC, providing both Standard Model (SM) precision analysis and new physics projections. With detailed analysis of Run-2 and future HL-LHC performances, we…
If gluinos are light, they will be produced in electron-positron annihilation at LEP, not only by radiation in pairs off quarks and antiquarks, but also without accompanying quark and antiquark jets. We here discuss the latter process, pair…
In this talk I review the theory of electromagnetic decays of the ground state baryon multiplets with oneheavy quark, calculated using Heavy Hadron Chiral Perturbation Theory. The M1 and E2 amplitudes for (S^{*}-> S gamma), (S^{*} -> T…
We have calculated the width of the rare decay $H\to\gamma\gamma Z$ at one-loop level in the standard model for Higgs boson masses in the range $115 {\rm GeV} \leq m_H \leq 160 {\rm GeV}$ . For this range of Higgs boson masses we find that…
In the present work we examine the implications on dark matter searches of the possibility of a partial decay of a neutron into a dark matter particle, slightly lighter than itself. Such a scenario recently proposed is required to bridge…
We present precise predictions for a variety of jet observables in $ZH$ production at electron-positron colliders, with the $Z$ boson decaying leptonically and the Higgs boson decaying into two hadronic jets, up to NNLO in perturbative QCD.…
Intriguing B --> K eta' decays provide a unique opportunity to study a joining of two-gluon configurations arising from the penguin b --> sG and b --> sGG transitions, with those inherent to the eta' particle. We employ the heavy-light…
The production rate of bottom quarks at hadron colliders exceeds the expectations of next-to-leading order perturbative quantum chromodynamics. An additional contribution from pair-production of light gluinos, of mass 12 to 16 GeV, with…
Based on the expectation generated by the discovery of new particles by current colliders, we analyze the decay of the Z' boson in the frame of one of the SU(3)L \otimes U(1)N electroweak extensions of the standard model. The main objective…
The Little Higgs mechanism, as realized in various models, requires a set of new massive gauge bosons, some of which mix with gauge bosons of the Standard Model. For a range of mixing angles the coupling of gauge bosons to scalars can…
Light bosons can be found in large classes of theories beyond the Standard Model. These light bosons may not be ruled out by current experiments and, indeed, may even provide an explanation for some anomalous experimental results. The…
We report the first analytic calculation of the Higgs boson decay width to gluons up to next-to-leading order in quantum chromodynamics including full dependence on the bottom and charm quark masses. The interference between top- and…
We study amplitude zeros in radiative decay processes with a photon or a gluon emission of all possible scalar particles(e.g. scalar leptoquarks) which may interact with the usual fermions in models beyond the standard model. For the decays…
In the framework of the extended $SU(2)_{h}\times SU(2)_{l}$ model we study the radiative decay of an extra gauge boson $Z^{\prime}$, $Z^{\prime}\to\gamma Z$. The data analysis results of the CDF collaboration at the Fermilab Tevatron allow…
We examine decays of a spin-1 bottomonium into a pair of light scalar Dark Matter (DM) particles, assuming that Dark Matter is produced due to exchange of heavy degrees of freedom. We perform a model-independent analysis and derive formulae…
We give best covariant amplitude decompositions for two-body decay processes involving ground state hadrons ($0^-, 1^-, {1/2}^+, {3/2}^+$) and show how these are simply related to helicity amplitudes. After discussing how electromagnetic…
We show that the amplitudes for B decays into two light mesons at leading order in soft-collinear effective theory are factorized to all orders in alpha_s. We construct gauge-invariant four-quark operators by employing the effective…
