The top-antitop energy asymmetry is a promising observable of the charge asymmetry in jet-associated top-quark pair production at the LHC. We present new predictions of the energy asymmetry in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV, including…
In recent years, lattice QCD calculations of hadron spectroscopy have concentrated on resonances and shallow bound states detected via poles in two- and three-hadron scattering amplitudes. Hadron interactions have therefore become a key…
Strong WW scattering at the LHC is discussed as a manifestation of electroweak symmetry breaking in the absence of a light Higgs boson. The general framework of the Higgs mechanism -- with or without a Higgs boson -- is reviewed, and…
In the standard model with electroweak symmetry breaking through the Higgs mechanism, electroweak gauge-boson scattering amplitudes are large if the Higgs boson is heavy, and electroweak gauge interactions become strong. In theories with…
Various astrophysical observations point towards an as-of-yet unexplained, mainly gravitationally interacting type of matter. If this matter, called Dark Matter, is an elementary particle, it could be produced in particle collisions at the…
I survey recent developments in hadron physics which follow from the application of superconformal quantum mechanics and light-front holography. This includes new insights into the physics of color confinement, chiral symmetry, the…
The collision of two gravitationally interacting, ultra-relativistic, extended sources is being examined. This investigation classifies the transverse distributions that are collided for fixed collision energy, according to whether one or…
We explore the capability of the Tevatron and LHC to place limits on the possible existence of flavor-independent $q \bar q \gamma\gamma$ contact interactions which can lead to an excess of diphoton events with large invariant masses.…
We consider new signatures of WIMPless dark matter, particularly those which can be used to test models with low dark matter mass. We focus on detection prospects at hadron colliders through the production of new heavy QCD-coupled…
In this paper, we investigate the influence of anti-symmetric tensor effects, which trigger the Lorentz symmetry breaking, on charged spherically symmetric black holes. Initially, we address an overview of the model, laying the groundwork…
We review the perhaps most exciting phenomenology of models with extra spatial dimensions and Planck scale near TeV: the production of mini black holes in ultrahigh energy particle collisions, and the discovery potential of cosmic…
Wave equations containing spatial derivatives which are higher than second order arise naturally in the context of condensed matter systems. The solutions of such equations contain more than two modes and consequently, the range of possible…
New physics beyond the electroweak scale may increase weak interaction cross sections beyond the Standard Model predictions. Such cross sections can be expected within theories that solve the hierarchy problem of known interactions with a…
We discuss several clues related to the possible asymptotic behavior of hadron interactions arising on the base of performed analysis of the recent TOTEM data at the LHC and emphasize that the deep-elastic scattering can provide an…
The Standard Model of particle physics has been remarkably successful in describing present experimental results. However, it is assumed to be only a low-energy effective theory which will break down at higher energy scales, theoretically…
The aim of this article is to explore a potential usability of a photon-photon self-interaction from the noncommutative quantum electrodynamics (NCQED) in the case of light-by-light scattering ($\gamma\gamma\to\gamma\gamma$) in…
The dark matter may be a composite particle that is accessible via a weakly coupled portal. If these hidden-sector states are produced at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), they would undergo a QCD-like shower. This would result in a spray of…
The physics, and a design, of a Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC) are sketched. With high luminosity, 10^{33}cm^{-2}s^{-1}, and high energy, \sqrt{s}=1.4 TeV, such a collider can be built in which a 70 GeV electron (positron) beam in…
The LHC has successfully run for a long period at half energy, 7 TeV. In this note, we update earlier full-energy Large Hadron Collider (LHC) forward hadronic scattering predictions \cite{physicsreports}, giving new predictions, including…
In this paper, we explore the effect of non-linear electrodynamics (NLED) parameters and magnetic charges on various aspects of black holes, like how they bend light, how they emit radiation, and how they appear as a shadow by considering a…
