We investigate the implications of models that achieve a Standard Model-like Higgs boson of mass near 125 GeV by introducing additional TeV-scale supermultiplets in the vector-like 10+\bar{10} representation of SU(5), within the context of…
I suggest a new particle model to integrate the fermion flavor, the TeV scale Leptogenesis and cold dark matter. The model has a local gauge symmetry $U(1)_{B-L}$ at the TeV scale and a flavor family symmetry SO(3), in addition, it also…
In this talk, I present a new framework to understand the long-standing fermion mass hierarchy puzzle. We extend the Standard Model gauge symmetry by an extra local U(1)_S symmetry, broken spontaneously at the electroweak scale. All the SM…
In the simplest (non-quiver) unified theories, fermion families are often treated sequentially and a flavor symmetry may act similarly. As an alternative with non-sequential flavor symmetry, we consider a model based on the group…
In the third fermion family and gauge symmetry of the Standard Model, we study the quark-quark, lepton-lepton and quark-lepton four-fermion operators in an effective theory at high energies. These operators have nontrivial contributions to…
The bosonic contributions to the photon mass are shown to be of the same form as the fermionic contributions, but of opposite sign. A mass sum rule for bosons and fermions follows from gauge invariance. Assuming completeness of the standard…
A composite model of fermions is proposed to explain the "anomaly" in $Z \rightarrow b {\bar b}$ and, to a lesser extent, in $Z \rightarrow c {\bar c}$. It contains a {\em nonsequential} fourth family whose mass of one member (the charge…
In this work radiative corrections in the total hadronic decay rate of the tau-lepton and some moments of its differential distributions are studied employing perturbative QCD and the operator product expansion. We calculate quadratic quark…
Extensions of the MSSM often predict the existence of new fermions and their scalar superpartners which are vectorlike with respect to the standard model gauge group but may be chiral under additional gauge factors. In this paper we explore…
We discuss the predictions of the bilepton model which is an extension of the standard model in which the group $SU(2) \times U(1)$ is changed to $SU(3)\times U(1)$ and the fermion families are treated non-sequentially with the third…
The idea of unifying quarks and leptons in a gauge symmetry is very appealing. However, such an unification gives rise to leptoquark type gauge bosons for which current collider limits push their masses well beyond the TeV scale. We present…
A flavour gauge theory is observable only if the symmetry is broken at relatively low energies. The intrinsic parity-violation of the fermion representations in a flavour theory describing quark, lepton and higgsino masses and mixings…
In the framework of the Standard Model we present predictions for partial widths, double and single differential distributions, and forward--backward lepton asymmetries for four-leptonic decays $B^- \to \mu^+\mu^- {\bar \nu}_e\, e^-$, $B^-…
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…
We analyze the effects of a doubly charged vector bilepton as well as exotic quarks with charge 5/3 e and -4/3 e on light by light scattering. We consider mass values in the range 0.3--1 TeV, which would be reached at the planned future…
Here I review the status and prospects of experimental investigations into lepton flavor violation (LFV) in charged leptons. Rare LFV processes are naturally expected to occur through loops of TeV scale particles predicted by supersymmetric…
We construct a model of quark-lepton unification at the TeV scale based on an $SU(4)$ gauge symmetry, while still having acceptable neutrino masses and enough suppression in flavor changing neutral currents. An approximate $U(2)$ flavor…
We investigate the phenomenology of light GeV-scale fermionic dark matter in $U(1)_{L_\mu - L_{\tau}}$ gauge extension of the Standard Model. Heavy neutral fermions alongside with a $S_1(\overline{3}$,$1$,$1/3$) scalar leptoquark and an…
Neutrino masses and mixings have important implications for models of fermion masses, and, most directly, for the charged lepton sector. We consider supersymmetric Abelian flavor models, where neutrino mass parameters are related to those…
The virtual massive gauge boson effects on several observables in the process of charged fermion pairs production at $e^+e^-$ colliders are computed up to the TeV energy range in the Standard Model, working in the ``$Z$-peak subtracted''…
