We have combined perturbative unitarity and renormalisation group equation arguments in order to find a dynamical way to constrain the space of the gauge couplings ($g'_1$, $\widetilde{g}$) of the so-called "Minimal $Z'$ Models". We have…
We point out that W' bosons may decay predominantly into Higgs particles associated with their broken gauge symmetry. We demonstrate this in a renormalizable model where the W' and W couplings to fermions differ only by an overall…
A search for heavy neutral gauge bosons (Z') decaying into a pair of tau leptons is performed in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV at the CERN LHC. The data were collected with the CMS detector and correspond to an integrated…
Current experimental limits for new physics beyond the Standard Model and hints for deviations from Standard Model expectations will be reviewed, highlighting recent results. Possible signals that will be discussed include Higgs bosons,…
We explore the possibility that $Z'$ couplings can be probed using decay modes which involve neutrinos once Standard Model backgrounds are directly determined by the data itself. For some models, sufficient statistics are available at…
Various aspects of physics at LEP 2 are reviewed from a phenomenological point of view. We first discuss the search for Higgs bosons, which might be relatively light if indications from the precision electroweak data and supersymmetry are…
A wide range of models beyond the Standard Model predict charged and neutral resonances, generically called $W'$- and $Z'$-bosons, respectively. In this paper we study the impact of such resonances on the deep inelastic scattering of…
We study the phenomenology of the 4-site Higgsless model, based on the $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_1\times SU(2)_2\times U(1)_Y$ gauge symmetry, at present colliders. The model predicts the existence of two neutral and four charged extra gauge…
The discovery of the Higgs boson at the LHC supports the hypothesis that the Standard Model provides an effective parameterisation of all subatomic experimental data up to the Planck scale. String theory, which provides a viable…
We search for signatures of the extra neutral gauge boson $ Z^\prime$, predicted in some extensions of the Standard Model, from the analysis of some distributions for $p + p \longrightarrow \mu^+ + \mu^- + X$, where the only exotic particle…
Theoretical and experimental situation in physics of heavy neutrinos $(M_N>M_Z)$ is briefly presented. Various experimental bounds on heavy neutrino masses and mixings are shortly reviewed. Special attention is paid to possibility of…
New neutral vector bosons $Z'$ decaying to charged gauge boson pairs $W^+W^-$ are predicted in many scenarios of new physics, including models with an extended gauge sector such as $E_6$, left-right symmetric $Z^\prime_{\rm LRS}$ and the…
In this conference report a summary is given on the theoretical work that has contributed to provide accurate theoretical predictions for testing the standard model in present and future experiments. Precision calculations for the vector…
We revisit the alternative left-right symmetric model, motivated by superstring-inspired $E_6$ model. We systematically analyze the constraints imposed by theoretical and experimental bounds on the parameter space of this class of models.…
The sensitivity of top quark pair production at the Large Hadron Collider to the presence and nature of an underlying Z' boson is studied, accounting for six-fermion decay with full tree-level Standard Model ttbar interference and all…
Extensions of the Standard Model that contain leptophobic Z' gauge bosons are theoretically interesting but difficult to probe directly in high-energy hadron colliders. However, precision measurements of Standard Model neutral current…
An extension of the standard model of electro-weak interactions by an extra abelian gauge boson is given, in which the extra gauge boson and the hypercharge gauge boson both couple to an axionic scalar in a form that leads to a Stueckelberg…
We review the theory of Higgs bosons, with emphasis on the Higgs scalars of the Standard Model and its non-supersymmetric and supersymmetric extensions. After surveying the expected knowledge of Higgs boson physics after the Tevatron and…
Supersymmetric extensions of the standard model lead us to expect superpartners for all particles, spin-0 squarks and sleptons and spin-1/2 gluinos, charginos and neutralinos, with an odd R-parity making the lightest one stable. The…
Littlest Higgs model predicts some extra particles beyond the Standard Model. Among them, an extra neutral gauge boson A_H is lightest and its mass could be a few hundred GeV. We study production and decay of A_H at future e^+ e^- inear…
