In the last five years, the operation of the LEP accelerator has provided the HEP community with a unique opportunity to search for physics beyond the standard model at the typical energy scale of $~200$ GeV. Although most of the data…
We investigate the supersymmetric A_4 model recently proposed by Babu, Ma and Valle. The model naturally gives quasi-degenerate neutrinos that are bi-largely mixed, in agreement with observations. Furthermore, the mixings in the quark…
We review the present seach for scalar leptoquarks and the potential of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to unravel the existence of first generation leptoquarks. Talk given by O. J. P. Eboli at the International Workshop on "Physics…
I give a brief overview of the motivations for and experimental probes of extended Higgs sectors containing more than the single Higgs doublet field of the Standard Model.
We study extensions of the standard model by one generation of vector-like leptons with non-standard hypercharges, which allow for a sizable modification of the h -> gamma gamma decay rate for new lepton masses in the 300 GeV - 1 TeV range.…
In order to explain the non-hierarchical neutrino mixing angles and the absence of lepton flavor violating processes in the context of warped extra dimensions one needs to introduce bulk flavor symmetries. We present a simple model of…
Motivated by the prospects for an improved test of lepton universality in K -> l \nu decays by the NA62 experiment at CERN, we study predictions for the possible lepton non-universality in K -> l \nu decays in supersymmetric models.…
We propose an efficient method to explore models which which produce like-sign tops at the LHC, using the total charge asymmetry of single lepton events instead of like-sign dileptons. As an example, the method is implemented on a Z' Model,…
I briefly review the Higgs sector in the Standard Model and in its minimal supersymmetric extension. After summarizing the properties of the Higgs bosons, I will discuss the prospects for discovering these particles at the present colliders…
In this short review I discuss how high energy (type I) seesaw models can be nicely embedded within grand-unified models and reproduce the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry with leptogenesis. In particular, after discussing general…

This is a mini-review on the mechanism of leptogenesis, with a special emphasis on low-scale leptogenesis models which are testable in foreseeable laboratory experiments at Energy and Intensity frontiers. We also stress the importance of…
Using renormalization group techniques, we examine several interesting relations among masses and mixing angles of quarks and leptons in the Standard Model. We extend the analysis to the minimal supersymmetric extension to determine its…

The study of parity-violation in semi-leptonic processes has yielded important insights into the structure of the Standard Model and the substructure of the nucleon. I discuss the future of semi-leptonic parity-violation and the role it…
We demonstrate the utility of leptons which fail standard isolation criteria in searches for new physics at the LHC. Such leptons can arise in any event containing a highly boosted particle which decays to both leptons and quarks. We begin…
An extension of the Standard Model with $\Gamma_2\simeq S_3$ modular flavor symmetry is presented. We consider the construction of the lepton sector, augmented by two right-handed neutrino states, in the vicinity of the fixed points $\tau =…
Heavy neutral leptons are present in many well-motivated beyond the Standard Model theories, sometimes being accessible at present colliders. Depending on their masses and couplings they could be long-lived and lead to events with displaced…
Supersymmetric Standard Model has been built to solve the hierarchy problem which is encountered whenever Standard Model is incorporated into a theory with a larger mass scale. Experimentally, one of the first signals of physics beyond…
