We investigate the potential of current and planned hadron colliders operating at the TeV scale in disentangling the structure of the Higgs sector of non-minimal Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model with an extra gauge singlet.…
We analyze in detail the phenomenology of a model of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking inspired by walking technicolor, by using the techniques of the bottom-up approach to holography. The model admits a light composite scalar state,…

Searches for the supersymmetric partners of top and bottom quarks using data up to 340 pb$^{-1}$ taken at the Tevatron $p\bar{p}$ collider are described. We report on searches for scalar top quarks $\tilde{t}$ in the decays $\tilde{t}\to c…
We analyze the Tevatron and Large Hadron Collider (LHC) reach for the Higgs sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) in the presence of explicit CP-violation. Using the most recent studies from the Tevatron and LHC…
This article describes a search for high-mass resonances decaying to a pair of photons using a sample of $20.3$ fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The data are…
We investigate the production of the Phi meson and the Omega baryon which interact weakly with hot hadronic matter, and thus their spectra reflect the early stage of the heavy ion collisions. Our analysis shows that the hadronization…
Recently, Hill has proposed a model in which new, potentially low-energy, top-color interactions produce a top-condensate ({\em a la} Nambu---Jona-Lasinio) and accommodate a heavy top quark, while technicolor is responsible for producing…
In a strongly-interacting electroweak sector with an isosinglet vector state, such as the techni-omega, $\omega_T$, the direct $ \omega_T Z \gamma $ coupling implies that an $\omega_T$ can be produced by $Z \gamma$ fusion in $e \gamma$…
Little Higgs models with T Parity contain new vector-like fermions, the T-odd quarks or "T-quarks", which can be produced at hadron colliders with a QCD-strength cross section. Events with two acoplanar jets and large missing transverse…
We provide a pedagogical introduction to extensions of the Standard Model in which the Higgs is composite. These extensions are known as models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking or, in brief, Technicolor. Material covered includes:…
Large classes of new physics theories predict the existence of new scalar states, commonly dubbed sgluons, lying in the adjoint representation of the QCD gauge group. Since these new fields are expected to decay into colored Standard Model…
The possibility of production of new spin-1 chiral particles at the hadron colliders the Tevatron and the LHC is considered. Their coupling constants to ordinary fermions can be fixed using the hypothesis about a dynamical generation of…
We calculate the rate of production of W+Upsilon and Z+Upsilon at the Tevatron. We find the cross sections at a center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV to be roughly 450 pb for W+Upsilon and 150 pb for Z+Upsilon. The dominant production mechanism…
The energy frontier is currently at the Fermilab Tevatron accelerator, which collides protons and antiprotons at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The luminosity delivered to the CDF and D0 experiments has now surpassed the 4 fb-1. This…
The lighter superpartner of the top quark ($\tt_1$) may be considerably lighter than squarks of the first two generations, and hence may be accessible to Tevatron collider searches, even if the other squarks and the gluino are too heavy.…
