This is a theoretical review of exploration of new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) in electric dipole moment (EDM) in elementary particles, atoms, and molecule. EDM is a very important CP violating phenomenon and sensitive to new…
Particle physics is sometimes described as going through a crisis, notably because of the continued lack of discovery of physics beyond the Standard Model, despite the LHC having operated at close to maximal energy for some years now. Here,…
I briefly review standard top quark physics at hadron colliders and summarize the contributions to this conference. The possibility of new mechanisms for $t\bar{t}$ production are also discussed.
CP violation in top physics is reviewed. The Standard Model has negligible effects, consequently CP violation searches involving the top quark may constitute the best way to look for physics beyond the Standard Model. Non-standard sources…
Universal extra dimensions, presumably observable at some high-energy scale, would modify low-energy observables, being particularly relevant for physical processes forbidden at tree level by the Standard Model. We address the Kaluza-Klein…
The standard model of particle physics is an extremely successful theory of fundamental interactions, but it has many known limitations. It is therefore widely believed to be an effective field theory that describes interactions near the…
The polarizations of the heavy quark ($q=t$ or $b$) in the process $e^+e^- \to q \bar q h$ have been calculated in the general two Higgs doublet model. The CP violating normal polarization of the top quark can reach 8%, and $2 \sim 3%$ for…
In this talk, I describe a few interesting physics beyond the standard model that are quite unique for $\gamma\gamma$ collisions, including large extra dimension model (ADD), warped extra dimension model (Randall-Sundrum) model, universal…
We discuss possible non-standard contributions to the top-quark width, particularly the virtual effects on the standard decay $t\rightarrow W^+\,b$ within the context of the MSSM. We also place a renewed emphasis on the unconventional mode…
Electric dipole moments are extremely sensitive probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. A vibrant experimental program is in place, with the goal of improving existing bounds on the electron and neutron electric dipole moments by one…
This is an auspicious moment in experimental particle physics -there are large data samples at the Tevatron and a new energy regime being explored at the Large Hadron Collider with ever larger data samples. The coincidence of these two…
The rates and corresponding jet distributions for the decay $Z\to b\bar bg$ and the process $e^+e^-\to t\bar tg$ may be sensitive to anomalous dipole-like couplings of heavy quarks to the photon and $Z$. In the $b$-quark case, after…
These are the essence of two lectures given at the Ettore Majorana Summer School, 1997, and the discussion sections which followed them. The title indicates their content: some reasoned expectations for physics beyond the Standard Model,…
Top quark physics will be a prominent topic in Standard Model physics at the LHC. The enormous amount of top quarks expected to be produced will allow to perform a wide range of precision measurements. An overview of the planned top physics…
We systematically study potential effects of Beyond the Standard Model physics in the $e^+ e^- \rightarrow Z H$ process. To this end, we include all relevant dimension-6 Standard Model Effective Field Theory operators and work to…
The prospects of measuring masses, spin and CP properties within Supersymmetry and other beyond the Standard Model extensions at the LHC are reviewed. Emphasis is put on models with missing transverse energy due to undetected particles, as…
We discuss and summarize some aspects concerning the study of the positronium system to probe new physics beyond the Standard Model.
The exploration of B-meson decays has reached an unprecedented level of sophistication, with a phase of even much higher precision ahead of us thanks to run 2 of the LHC and the future era of Belle II and the LHCb upgrade. For many…
The biggest question in beyond the standard model physics is what are the scales of new physics. Ideas about scales, as well as experimental evidence and constraints, are surveyed for a variety of possible forms of new physics:…
The latest results on top quark physics, namely single top quark production cross sections, $W$-boson helicity and asymmetry measurements are used to probe the Lorentz structure of the $Wtb$ vertex. The increase of sensitivity to new…
