The production of new spin-1 chiral bosons at the hadron colliders, the Fermilab Tevatron and the CERN LHC, is considered. The masses of the chiral bosons can be determined on the basis of experimental data of precise low-energy…
We reinvestigated the parameter space allowing a large BR of the 4-body decay of the lighter top-squark ($\lstop$) accessible at Tevatron Run-II by imposing the lighter CP-even Higgs boson mass ($\mlhiggs$) bound from LEP. Important…
We construct a complete, realistic, and natural UV completion of minimal conformal technicolor that explains the origin of quark and lepton masses and mixing angles. As in "bosonic technicolor", we embed conformal technicolor in a…
A low-energy supersymmetry scenario with a light gluino of mass 12 - 16 GeV and light sbottom (b1) of mass 2 - 6 GeV has been used to explain the apparent overproduction of b quarks at the Tevatron. In this scenario the other mass…
We study the signal from the pair production of $t$-squarks at the Tevatron under the assumption that their two-body decay to charginos as well as their three-body decay to $W$ bosons is kinematically forbidden. In this case, the stop…
We study the production and decay of heavy selectrons in the electron-photon mode of a linear collider of the next generation. The standard model backgrounds can be substantially reduced by appropriate kinematical cuts. As a consequence,…
We use a recent upper limit from CDF on like-sign top pair production to place constraints on general new vector bosons and scalars mediating u u -> t t. The possible vector bosons comprise neutral colour singlets or octets, and charge 4/3…
Ongoing LHC searches for the standard model Higgs Boson in WW or ZZ decay modes strongly constrain the top-Higgs state predicted in many models with new dynamics that preferentially affects top quarks. Such a state couples strongly to…
We study a two component dark matter candidate inspired by the Minimal Walking Technicolor model. Dark matter consists of a dominant SIMP-like dark atom component made of bound states between primordial helium nuclei and a doubly charged…
The temperature dependence of the mass, leptonic decay constant, and width of heavy-light quark peseudoscalar and vector mesons is obtained in the framework of thermal Hilbert moment QCD sum rules. The leptonic decay constants of both…
Relatively light sneutrinos which are experimentally allowed and are not theoretically disfavoured may significantly affect the currently popular search strategies for supersymmetric particles by decaying dominantly into an invisible…
In the framework of NRQCD and parton model, we estimate in detail,the production cross section for polarized J/psi from B meson decays. In order to contrast with data, we also take into account additional J/psi production due to decay of…
Tevatron diboson measurements are reviewed, and new or recent results reported for Wgamma, Zgamma, and ZZ production in the leptonic decay modes, and for WW/WZ production in the lepton plus jets decay mode. The most stringent limits on…
We examine the rare decays $B_s\to l^+l^-$ and $B\to Kl^+l^-$ in the framework of the topcolor-assisted technicolor ($TC2$) model. The contributions of the new particles predicted by this model to these rare decay processes are evaluated.…
In the framework of topcolor-assisted technicolor(TC2) model, there exist tree-level flavor-changing (FC) couplings which can result in the loop-level FC coupling $tcg$. Such $tcg$ coupling can contribute significant clues at the…
We investigate the prospects for the discovery at the CERN Large Hadron Collider or at the Fermilab Tevatron of neutral Higgs bosons through the channel where the Higgs are produced together with a single bottom quark and the Higgs decays…
Recent study on the charged top-pion correction to R_b shows that it is negative and large, so that the precision experimental value of R_b gives rise to a severe constraint on the topcolor-assisted technicolor models such that the top-pion…
The topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) model predicts a number of neutral scalars like the top-pion ($\pi^0_t$) and the top-Higgs ($h^0_t$). These scalars have flavor-changing neutral-current (FCNC) top quark couplings, among which the…
We discuss the phenomenology of an $SU(2)_{TC}$ technicolour model with a low technicolour confinement scale ${\Lambda}_{TC} \sim 50-100 GeV$. Such a low technicolour scale may give rise to the first hints of technicolour being seen at LEPI…
For purely leptonic decays of pseudoscalar mesons, the decay rates are related to the product of the relevant weak interaction-based CKM matrix element of the constituent quarks on the one hand, and the strong interaction parameter, the…
