We study the prospects for detecting the sleptons of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model at hadron colliders and supercolliders. We use ISAJET 7.03 to simulate charged slepton and sneutrino pair production, incorporating slepton and…
The dimuon invariant mass spectrum is searched in the range between 5.5 and 14 GeV for a light pseudoscalar Higgs boson "a", predicted in a number of new physics models, including the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model. The data…
We discuss ways to discriminate at hadron colliders between a quasi-bound toponium state and a pseudoscalar Higgs boson A, as predicted in many extensions of the Standard Model. We apply the discussion to the excess of t tbar threshold…
Supersymmetric models with an additional singlet field offer the Higgs boson the possibility to decay to two pseudoscalars, a. If the mass of these pseudoscalars is above the b bbar threshold, a -> b bbar is generically the dominant decay…
Techni-dilaton (TD) is predicted in walking technicolor (WTC) arising as a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson associated with the approximate scale symmetry spontaneously broken by techni-fermion condensation. The TD mass is therefore smaller…
Minimal Dark Matter models feature one neutral particle that serves as a thermal relic dark matter candidate, as well as quasi-degenerate charged states with TeV masses. When the charged states are produced at colliders, they can decay into…
We present the Tevatron combination of searches for the Higgs boson and studies of its properties. The searches use up to 10 fb$^{-1}$ of Tevatron collider Run II data. We observe a significant excess of events in the mass range between 115…
We present the current status of searches for a low mass Standard Model Higgs boson (M_H below ~ 135 GeV/c^2) using data collected from ppbar collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron collider at \sqrt{s}= 1.96 TeV. A summary of the latest…
Many new physics models predict resonances with masses in the TeV range which decay into a pair of top quarks. With its large cross section, t-bar t production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) offers an excellent opportunity to search for…
We bound the coupling of pseudo-scalar particles to Tr G^G_{QCD} using (the lack of) monojet plus missing E_T events at the Tevatron, and estimate the bounds obtainable from LHC. In addition, we revisit the bounds on the coupling to…
In minimal supergravity based supersymmetry models the charged sleptons as well as the sneutrinos may be lighter than the squarks. In such light slepton scenario the search for lighter stop squark has been investigated in the dilepton +…
The hint of a pseudoscalar toponium state at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) opens a new avenue for studying a novel class of QCD (quasi-)bound states with comparable formation and decay times. Compared with charmonium and bottomonium,…
The prospects of detecting the CP-odd Higgs pseudoscalar ($A$) in the minimal supersymmetric model via its decay into a $Z$ boson and the lighter CP-even Higgs scalar ($h$) at the CERN Large Hadron Collider are investigated. The final state…
Transverse single spin asymmetries of particles produced in $p+p^{\uparrow}$ collisions provide insight on the partonic spin and momentum structure of hadrons; heavy flavor electrons provide access to initial state spin-momentum…
We present a study of the $t$-channel mode of single top quark production at the upgraded Tevatron $p\bar{p}$ collider, including the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to the production and the decay of a single top quark. The…
The ATLAS and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will soon search for physics phenomena that are not predicted by the Standard Model. Technicolor, Compositeness and GUT-based models are rich in high-pt leptons and could be…
We studied the collider phenomenology of third-generation scalar leptoquarks at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with a 14 TeV center-of-mass energy. The analysis focuses on leptoquarks decaying exclusively into top quarks and tau leptons,…
Charged Higgs scalars light enough to contribute to top quark decays are possible in various non--minimal Higgs models. We show that such a decay would be consistent with the current Tevatron data, and will remain hidden until a larger…
We examine the phenomenology of minimal supergravity models, assuming only that the low energy theory has the minimal particle content, that electroweak symmetry is radiatively broken, and that R-parity is essentially conserved. After…
We study the observability for the flavor-changing decay of a top quark $t\to ch$ at the LHC and future hadron colliders, namely, High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), High-Energy LHC (HE-LHC) and Future Circular hadron-hadron Collider (FCC-hh).…
