Non-standard neutrino-nucleon interaction is formulated and explored within the energy range of quasi-elastic scattering. In particular, the study focuses on the neutral-current elastic (anti)neutrino scattering off nucleons described by…
Several models of neutrino masses predict the existence of neutral heavy leptons. Here, we review current constraints on heavy neutrinos and apply a new formalism separating new physics from Standard Model. We discuss also the indirect…
There are many low-energy models of supersymmetry breaking parameters which are motivated by theoretical and experimental considerations. Here, we discuss some of the lesser-known theories of low-energy supersymmetry, and outline their…
Nonstandard neutrino properties (masses, mixing, sterile states, electromagnetic interactions, and so forth) can have far-reaching ramifications in astrophysics and cosmology. We look at the most interesting cases in the light of the…
Talk given at the 26th Workshop: ``From Superstrings to Supergravity" Erice - Sicily, 5-12 December 1992: In this talk we discuss string consistency requirements on four dimensional string models, namely the cancellation of target space…
The Arkani-Hamed-Dimopoulos-Dvali and the Randall-Sundrum models with extra spacelike dimensions, recently proposed as a solution to the hierarchy problem, are reviewed. We discuss their basic properties and phenomenological effects of…
We study the nonlinear realization of supersymmetry in a dynamical/cosmological background in which derivative terms like kinetic terms are finite. Starting from linearly realized theories, we integrate out heavy modes without neglecting…
This report summarises the physics opportunities in the search and study of physics beyond the Standard Model at a 100 TeV pp collider.
In this talk, we summarize the collider phenomenology and recent experimental results for various models of extra dimensions, including the large extra dimensions (ADD model), warped extra dimensions (Randall-Sundrum model),…
Superstring theory, and a recent extension called M theory, are leading candidates for a quantum theory that unifies gravity with the other forces. As such, they are certainly not ordinary quantum field theories. However, recent duality…
These are the essence of two lectures given at the Ettore Majorana Summer School, 1997, and the discussion sections which followed them. The title indicates their content: some reasoned expectations for physics beyond the Standard Model,…
We examine the question of whether violation of 4D physics is an inevitable consequence of existence of an extra non-compactified dimension. Recent investigations in membrane and Kaluza-Klein theory indicate that when the metric of the…
In stochastic geometry there are several instances of threshold phenomena in high dimensions: the behavior of a limit of some expectation changes abruptly when some parameter passes through a critical value. This note continues the…
A natural SL(2,Z) invariant generalization of the Veneziano amplitude in type IIB superstring theory is investigated. It includes certain perturbative and non-perturbative (D-instanton) contributions, and it reduces to the correct…
Superstring theories are very promising theoretically, but the enormous landscape of string vacua and the (likely) very large underlying string scale imply that they may never be tested directly. Nevertheless, concrete constructions…
The phenomenological aspects of string theory are briefly reviewed. Emphasis is given to the status of 4D string model building, effective Lagrangians, model independent results, supersymmetry breaking and duality symmetries.
The latest results on searches for supersymmetry, extra dimensions and exotic phenomena from the LEP collaborations are presented. No significant signal-like excess is observed in the data. The results are interpreted in various models and…
We discuss the possibility of sterile neutrinos taking shortcuts in extra dimensions, and the consequences for neutrino oscillations. This effect influences the active-sterile neutrino mixing and provides a possibility to accommodate the…
Universal extra dimensions, presumably observable at some high-energy scale, would modify low-energy observables, being particularly relevant for physical processes forbidden at tree level by the Standard Model. We address the Kaluza-Klein…
This is a brief discussion of the following features of the Universal Extra Dimension (UED) model: (i) Formulation, (ii) Indirect bounds, (iii) Collider search and the Inverse Problem, (iv) Astrophysical bounds, and (v) UED with two extra…
