This PhD thesis deals with various aspects of (astro)particle physics phenomenology and consists out of two parts: beyond the Standard Model physics and neutrino astronomy. In the first part, I focus on beyond the Standard Model physics at…
Absolute neutrino masses provide a key to physics beyond the standard model. We discuss the impact of absolute neutrinos masses on physics beyond the standard model, the experimental possibilities to determine absolute neutrinos masses, and…
Gravity with incorporation of additional dimensions and noncommutative geometry.
We derive the modifications introduced by extra-spatial dimensions beyond the four dimensional spacetime on the macroscopic properties of neutron stars, which in turn affect the gravitational wave spectrum of their binaries. It turns out…
One hundred years ago this year attempts began to generalise general relativity with the ambition of incorporating electromagnetism alongside gravitation in a unified field theory. These developments led to gauge theories and models with…
We review the effective field theory approach to physics beyond the Standard Model using dimension-six operators. Topics include the choice of operator basis, electroweak boson pair production, precision electroweak physics (including…
In this work we investigate the phenomena associated with the new thresholds in the spectrum of excitations arising when different one-dimensional strongly interacting systems are voltage biased and weakly coupled by tunneling. We develop…
Theoretical and experimental motivations behind supergravity grand unified models are described. The basic ideas of supergravity, and the origin of the soft breaking terms are reviewed. Effects of GUT thresholds and predictions arising from…
In these three lectures I review the need to go beyond the Standard Glashow- Weinberg-Salam Model and discuss some of the approaches that are explored in this direction.
The standard picture of viable higher-dimensional theories is that extra dimensions manifest themselves at short distances only, their effects being negligible at scales larger than some critical value. We show that this is not necessarily…
We discuss some of the signatures associated with extensions of the Standard Model related to the neutrino and electroweak symmetry breaking sectors, with and without supersymmetry. The topics include a basic discussion of the theory of…
Ces notes de cours visent a decrire de maniere pedagogique certaines extensions populaires du modele standard des interactions fortes et electrofaibless. Les sujets abordes comprennent le secteur de Higgs, le modele symetrique gauche-droit,…
We review some recent development in the theory of spatial extremes related to Pareto Processes and modeling of threshold exceedances. We provide theoretical background, methodology for modeling, simulation and inference as well as an…
The phenomenon of neutrino oscillations has been established as the leading mechanism behind neutrino flavor transitions, providing solid experimental evidence that neutrinos are massive and lepton flavors are mixed. Here we review…
This is a brief review of experimental strategies for physics beyond the Standard Model based on the talk given in the ``Physics at LHC'' in Vienna, July 2004 \cite{vienna}. The emphasis is on Tevatron thematology and experience.
We review for non-experts possible phenomenological scenari in String Theory. In particular we focus on vacuum configurations with intersecting and/or magnetized unoriented D-branes. We will show how a TeV scale tension may be compatible…
Extra dimensions provide a very useful tool in addressing a number of the fundamental problems faced by the Standard Model. The following provides a very basic introduction to this very broad subject area as given at the VIII School of the…
We briefly review superstring theories, highlighting the important concepts, developments, and open problems of the subject.
These lectures provide a concise introduction to the so-called "Beyond the Standard Model"' physics, with particular emphasis on the problem of the microscopic origin of the Higgs mass term and of the Electro-Weak symmetry breaking scale in…
We obtain new bounds on the additive energy of (Ahlfors-David type) regular measures in both one and higher dimensions, which implies expansion results for sums and products of the associated regular sets, as well as more general nonlinear…
