We discuss the parameterization for electroweak gauge boson interactions without a light Higgs boson. We present the constraints on the anomalous gauge-boson couplings from the current experiments. We emphasize that the four-point couplings…
We investigate the feasibility of distinguishing among different models of electroweak symmetry breaking by studying the process $\gamma \gamma \rightarrow Z_L Z_L$ at photon colliders. For models with a low mass Higgs-like scalar…
We study the electronic spectral properties in two examples of strongly interacting systems: a Mott-Hubbard insulator with additional electron-boson interactions, and a polaronic semiconductor. An approximate unified framework is developed…
The Standard Model of fundamental interactions, albeit an incredibly elegant and successful theory, lacks explanations for some experimental and theoretical open questions. Interestingly, many of these problems seem to be related to the…
We consider the implications of current LHC data on new physics with strongly interacting sector(s). We parametrize the relevant interaction Lagrangian and study the best fit values in light of current data. These are then considered within…
We discuss how to experimentally study the electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) sector by observing $WW \to WW$ interactions in the TeV region. We discuss some general features of the event structure in the signal and the background events.…
Vector-boson fusion and vector-boson scattering are an important class of processes for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. It is characterized by two high-energetic jets in the forward regions of the detector and reduced jet activity in the…
Insight into the electroweak (EW) and Higgs sectors can be achieved through measurements of vector boson scattering (VBS) processes. The scattering of EW bosons are rare processes that are precisely predicted in the Standard Model (SM) and…
An unspecified strong dynamics may give rise to composite vectors sufficiently light that their interactions, among themselves or with the electroweak gauge bosons, be approximately described by an effective Lagrangian invariant under…
Vector boson scattering is a well known probe of electroweak symmetry breaking. Here we study a related process of two electroweak vector bosons scattering into a vector boson and a Higgs boson ($VV \rightarrow Vh, V=W,Z$). This process…
In this review we discuss theories of the electroweak symmetry breaking sector in which the $W$ and $Z$ interactions become strong at an energy scale not larger than a few TeV.
We present numerical and analytical results for the reflection and transmission properties of matter wave solitons impinging on localized scattering potentials in one spatial dimension. Our mean field analysis identifies regimes where the…
Vector-boson scattering processes are of great importance for the current run-II and future runs of the Large Hadron Collider. The presence of triple and quartic gauge couplings in the process gives access to the gauge sector of the…
We discuss the prospects for detecting at a muon collider the massive new vector resonances V and light pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons P of a typical strongly interacting electroweak sector (as represented by the BESS model). Expected…
Models with light dark sector and dark matter particles motivate qualitatively new collider searches. Here we carry out a comprehensive study of hadrophilic models with U(1)$_B$ and U(1)$_{B-3L_{\tau}}$ gauge bosons coupled to light dark…
We study the phenomenology of a Z'-boson field coupled to hypercharge. The Z' propagator has a non-trivial K\"all\'en-Lehmann spectral density due to the mixing with a higher dimensional inert vector field. As a consequence detection…
We present two studies into strong symmetry breaking scenarios at the LHC. The first case is a study into vector boson scattering at ATLAS. This uses the framework of the Electroweak Chiral Lagrangian with Pade unitarisation to generate…
We study the ground-state physics of a single-component Haldane model on a hexagonal two-leg ladder geometry with a particular focus on strongly interacting bosonic particles. We concentrate our analysis on the regime of less than one…
Possible deviations from a low-energy theorem for the scattering of strongly interacting longitudinally polarized $W$ and $Z$ bosons are discussed within a particular scheme of electroweak symmetry breaking. The scheme (suggested earlier by…
