Lorentz invariance (LI) is a foundational principle of modern physics, yet its possible violation (LIV) remains an intriguing window to physics beyond the Standard Model. While stringent constraints exist in the electromagnetic and hadronic…
We discuss the model independent parameterization for a strongly interacting electroweak sector. Phenomenological studies are made to probe such a sector for future colliders such as the LHC, $e^+e^-$ Linear collider and a muon collider.
We study the process $W^+ W^- \to t \bar t$ in several models of strong interaction electroweak symmetry breaking. We calculate the signals that can be expected by observing the reaction $e^+ e^- \to \nu \bar\nu t \bar t$ at an $e^+ e^-$…

We consider a non-linear realization of the electroweak symmetry-breaking pattern $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R/SU(2)_{L+R}$ to construct a low-energy effective theory, later extended by the inclusion of heavy new-physics resonances. After…
The interaction among vector bosons is crucial to understanding electroweak symmetry breaking. At the LHC one technique is to use "tag" jets to identify vector boson fusion processes leading to two vector bosons and two "tag" jets in the…
In the light of the mass gap between Standard Model (SM) states and possible new particles, effective field theories are a suitable approach. We take on the non-linear realization of the electroweak symmetry breaking: the electroweak…
We study a modification of the five-dimensional description of dynamical electro-weak symmetry breaking inspired by the AdS/CFT correspondence. Conformal symmetry is broken in the low-energy region near the IR brane by a power-law departure…
