We study the gauge coupling unification with extra dimensions. We take into account corrections due to the higher dimensional operators. We show the prediction of $\alpha_3(M_Z)$ is sensitive to such corrections, even if…
It was hypothesized in the literature that some physical parameters may be time-evolving and the astrophysical data can serve as a probe. Recently, James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have released its early observations. In this work, we…
We describe the determination of the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s(M_Z^2)$ and of the charm-quark mass $m_c(m_c)$ in the $\bar{\rm MS}$-scheme, based on the QCD analysis of the unpolarized World deep-inelastic scattering data. At NNLO…
The electroweak corrections at the order of $O(\alpha_{ew}m_{t(b)}^2/m_W^2)$ to the partial widths of the $\tilde{t}_2 \to \tilde{g} + t$ and $\tilde{g} \to \tilde{t}_1 + \bar{t} $ decays (depending on the masses of the particles involved)…
We analyze various models with an extra U(1) gauge symmetry in addition to the Standard Model (SM) gauge group at low energies, and impose limits on the mass of the neutral Z' boson, M_Z', predicted in all such models, and on the Z-Z'…
We consider the renormalisation group flow of gauge couplings within the so-called exceptional supersymmetric standard model (E$_6$SSM) based on the low energy matter content of 27 dimensional representations of the gauge group $E_6$,…
If no light Higgs boson exist, the interaction among the gauge bosons becomes strong at high energies (~1TeV). The effects of strong electroweak symmetry breaking (SEWSB) could manifest themselves as anomalous couplings before they give…
A global analysis is performed using the latest data from LEP and SLC. Constraints on the electroweak universal parameters ($S,T,U$) and on the masses of the top quark and Higgs boson within the Standard Model (SM) are investigated. The…
A program including all radiative corrections to the MSSM at the same level as the radiative corrections to the SM has been developed and used to perform global fits to all electroweak data from LEP, SLC and the Tevatron and the radiative…
The leading hadronic effects in electroweak theory derive from vacuum polarization which are non-perturbative hadronic contributions to the running of the gauge couplings, the electromagnetic alpha_{em}(s) and the SU(2)_L coupling…
The finite energy sum rule extraction of the strong coupling {\alpha}_s from hadronic {\tau} decay data provides one of its most precise experimental determinations. As precision improves, small non-perturbative effects become increasingly…
We analyse the phenomenological implications of a particular class of supersymmetric models with additional space-time dimensions below the unification scale. Assuming the unification of the gauge couplings and using a two-loop calculation…
One of the much-debated novel features of theories with extra dimensions is the presence of power-like loop corrections to gauge coupling unification, which have the potential of allowing a significant reduction of the unification scale. A…
We discuss the results of our recent analysis [1] of deep inelastic scattering data on F2 structure function in the non-singlet approximation with next-to-next-to-leading-order accuracy. The study of high statistics deep inelastic…
We present a state-of-the-art analysis on determining the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s(m_Z)$ from available $e^+e^-$ data for the Heavy Jet Mass (HJM) distribution. Dijet resummation is supplemented with additional resummation of…
We review the loop effects of the low energy supersymmetry. The global success of the Standard Model rises two related questions: how strongly the mass scales of the superpartners are constrained and can they be, nevertheless, indirectly…
Concepts and results of determinations of the strong coupling constant in hadron collisions are discussed. A recent alpha_s result from the inclusive jet cross section in pp-bar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV is presented which is based on…
The possibility that non-supersymmetric conformal field theories softly broken below 100 TeV may provide an alternative to conventional grand unification is explored. We consider a low energy theory presumed to be of this type arising from…
A realistic SU(3)_C x SU(3)_W unified theory is constructed with a TeV sized extra dimension compactified on the orbifold S_1/Z_2, leaving only the standard model gauge group SU(3)_C x SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y unbroken in the low energy 4D theory.…
The current status of the quantities entering into the global electroweak fits is reviewed, highlighting changes since Summer 2003. These data include the precision electroweak properties of the Z and W bosons, the top-quark mass and the…
