Theoretical efforts to describe and explain the $\eta\to 3\pi$ decays reach far back in time. Even today, the convergence of the decay widths and some of the Dalitz plot parameters seems problematic in low energy QCD. In the framework of…
The SM unitarity triangle (UT) is completely determined by the parameters $\gamma$ and $|V_{ub}|$ which can be extracted from tree-level processes and are assumed to be free of new physics. By comparison with other determinations of UT…
The existence of extra chiral generations is strongly disfavored by the precision electroweak data if all the extra fermions are heavier than m_Z. However fits as good as the SM can be obtained if one allows the new neutral leptons to have…
New observables \sigma_\pm for the process e^+e^-\to\mu^+\mu^- allow one to get more direct information on additional Z' boson effects than what is obtained from the canonical ones, \sigma and A_{FB}. Their deviations from the Standard…
We consider possible new physics contributions to b\to s l^+ l^- assuming the new physics modifies (chromo)magnetic and electric form factors in b\to s \gamma^* and b\to s g with the same chirality structure as in the standard model.…
An important route to testing General Relativity (GR) at cosmological scales is usually done by constraining modified gravity (MG) parameters added to the Einstein perturbed equations. Most studies have analyzed so far constraints on pairs…
We compute the bounds from precision observables on alternative theories of electroweak symmetry breaking. We show that a cut-off as large as 3 TeV can be accomodated by the present data, without unnatural fine tuning.
We investigate two new observational perspectives in the context of torsional gravitational modification of general relativity, i.e., the $f(T)$ gravity: i) We use Pantheon data of type Ia supernovae motivated by a time variation of the…
In technicolor theories a large radiative correction to the Zbb vertex generally emerges, because of the large top quark mass and SU(2)_L gauge symmetry. The correction can give us an explanation for the deviation of the experimental value…
We apply the technique of parameter-splitting to existing cosmological data sets, to check for a generic failure of dark energy models. Given a dark energy parameter, such as the energy density Omega_Lambda or equation of state w, we split…
We calculate general moments of the lepton energy spectrum in inclusive semileptonic B -> X_c l \nu decay. Moments which allow the determination of mb^{1S} and lambda1 with theoretical uncertainties Delta(mb^{1S}) ~ 0.04 GeV and…
Determination of the mixing-induced $C\!P$-violating phase $\phi_{s}$ and decay width difference $\Delta\Gamma_{s}$ in $\bar{b}\to\bar{c}c\bar{s}$ decays is one of the main goals of the LHCb experiment. Thanks to the precise prediction of…
Motivated by the $3.2\sigma(1.4\sigma)$ deviations between the recent experimental value for $A_{FB}^{b}(R_{b})$ and the standard model(SM) prediction, we examine the effect of new physics(NP) on the $Zb \bar{b}$ couplings $g_L^b$ and…
We present new cosmological constraints in a set of motivated extensions of the $\Lambda$CDM model using the polarization and gravitational lensing measurements from the South Pole Telescope and the Planck CMB temperature observations at…
We discuss the cosmological degeneracy between the Hubble parameter H(z), the age of the universe and cosmological parameters describing simple variations from the minimal LCDM model. We show that independent determinations of the Hubble…
Nuclear-structure effects often provide an irreducible theory error that prevents using precision atomic measurements to test fundamental theory. We apply newly developed effective field theory tools to Hydrogen atoms, and use them to show…
There have been a great deal of works on the precision test of the standard model (SM) because of the incredibly precise data obtained at the LEP and the new measurements of $M_W$ and $m_t$ at the Fermilab Tevatron as well as the recent…
We critically review the assumption that no new physics is acting in tree-level $B$-meson decays and study the consequences for the ultimate precision in the direct determination of the CKM angle $\gamma$. In our exploratory study we find…
Measurements of angular correlations in nuclear beta decay are important tests of the Standard Model (SM). Among those, the so-called D correlation parameter occupies a particular place because it is odd under time reversal, and because the…
We discuss possible observational manifestations of static, spherically symmetric solutions of a class of multidimensional theories of gravity, which includes the low energy limits of supergravities and superstring theories as special…
