Many composite Higgs models predict the existence of vector-like quarks with masses outside the reach of the LHC, e.g. $m_Q \gtrsim 2$ TeV, in particular if these models contain a dark matter candidate. In such models the mass of the new…
We present the results of searches for non-standard model phenomena in photon and jet final states. These searches use data from integrated luminosities of 0.7--2.7/fb of p-pbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV, collected with the CDF and D0…
Results are presented from a search for the pair production of third-generation scalar and vector leptoquarks, as well as for top squarks in R-parity-violating supersymmetric models. In either scenario, the new, heavy particle decays into a…
The Standard Model fermion sector is enlarged by either one light singlet vector-like down-type quark or one light vector-like lepton doublet, which might be accommodated within a five-dimensional representation of SU(5). At low energies…
We study the renormalization group running of the coupling constants in a minimal leptophilic dark matter model in which a Standard Model singlet fermion, acting as the dark matter (DM) candidate, couples exclusively to right-handed charged…
Data from HERA, LEP and the Tevatron, as well as from low energy experiments are used to constrain the Yukawa couplings for scalar and vector leptoquarks in the Buchmuller-Ruckl-Wyler effective model. In the limit of very high leptoquark…
A review of searches for physics beyond the Standard Model carried out at high energy lepton-hadron and hadron-hadron facilities is presented, with emphasis on topics of interest for future data taking at the upgraded Tevatron $p{\bar p}$…
Assuming that mass scales arise in nature only via dimensional transmutation, we extend the dimension-less Standard Model by adding vector-like fermions charged under a new strong gauge interaction. Their non-perturbative dynamics generates…
The seesaw and leptogenesis commonly depend on the masses of same particles, and thus are both realized at the same scale. In this work, we demonstrate a new possibility to realize a TeV-scale neutrino seesaw and a natural high-scale…
Recent results of searches for leptoquarks, lepton flavour violating leptoquarks and excited fermions (electrons, neutrinos and quarks) with the H1 experiment at HERA are presented, which use up to the full ep H1 data set. No evidence for…
Leptoquarks with mass in the region of $550-650$ GeV are a possible candidate for the recent excess seen by CMS in the $eejj$ and $e \nu jj$ channels. We discuss models where leptoquarks decay primarily to dark matter and jets, thereby…
Many new physics models, such as the Sequential Standard Model, Grand Unified Theories, models of extra dimensions, or models like leptoquarks or vector-like leptons, predict heavy mediators at the TeV energy scale. We present recent…
I report the recent studies\cite{1,2} on the low--energy manifestations of a minimal extension of the Standard Model based on the quark-lepton symmetry $SU(4)_V \otimes SU(2)_L \otimes G_R$ of the Pati-Salam type. Given this symmetry the…
We report on a search for the pair production of second generation scalar leptoquarks (LQ) in ppbar collisions at the center of mass energy sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb-1 collected…
A dynamical symmetry breaking model of electroweak interactions is investigated based on strongly interacting fermions. Vector-like fermions of different representations of the weak SU(2) form a symmetry breaking condensate and generate the…
A vector-like extension of the standard model for heavier quarks and leptons with $SU(2)\times U(1)$ gauge symmetry and only one Higgs doublet is examined. This scheme incorporates infinitely many fermions and avoids the appearance of a…
The measurements of hadron and lepton-pair production cross sections and leptonic forward-backward asymmetries performed with the L3 detector at centre-of-mass energies between 130 GeV and 189 GeV are used to search for new physics…
A search for new bosons possessing couplings to lepton-quark pairs is performed in the H1 experiment at HERA using 1994 to 1997 data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 37pb^-1. First generation leptoquarks (LQs) are searched in…
We consider a simple extension of the Standard Model providing dark matter and a TeV-scale seesaw mechanism that also allows for viable leptogenesis. In addition to the Standard Model degrees of freedom, the model contains a neutrinophilic…
Recent results of searches for new physics at HERA using the complete data sample corresponding to about 0.5/fb per experiment are reviewed. Searches for leptoquarks, isolated leptons (electrons, muons and taus) and a generic search for new…
