We study low energy constraints from flavour violating processes, production and decay at the LHC of a scalar field varphi (flavon) associated to the breaking of a non-supersymmetric Abelian family symmetry at the TeV scale. This symmetry…

In a leading order pQCD model, we have studied the heavy flavor production in p+p collisions at RHIC and LHC energy. Leading order pQCD models require a K-factor. At RHIC energy, $\sqrt{s}$=200 GeV, we fix K such that the model reproduces…
We investigate the Lepton Flavor Violating (LFV) process $e^{+}e^{-}\to e^{+}e^{-}e\mu$ ($e=e^-,\,e^+,\,\mu=\mu^-,\,\mu^+ $) at future circular colliders, probing the effective $\gamma\gamma e\mu$ interaction through photon fusion. Within…

The supersymmetry (SUSY) may be one of the most favorable extensions of the standard model (SM), however, so far at LHC no evidence of the SUSY particles were observed. An obvious question is whether they have already emerged, but escaped…
We present a new method to measure the top quark pair production cross section and the background rates with 2.7 fb$^{-1}$ of data from $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} =1.96$ TeV collected with the CDF II Detector. The size of the…
The Compact Linear Collider is one of the two main European options for a collider in a post Large Hadron Collider era. This is a linear $e^+e^-$ collider with three centre-of-mass energy stages: 380 GeV, 1.5 TeV and 3 TeV. The luminosity…
We present a selection of recent heavy flavor results from the STAR experiment. Measurements of $D^0$ and $D^*$ meson production in $\sqrt{s}$=200 and 500 GeV p+p, as well as in $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=200 GeV d+Au, Au+Au and 193 \GeV U+U…
We present a class of supersymmetric models which address the flavor puzzle and have an inverted hierarchy of sfermions. Their construction involves quiver-like models with link fields in generic representations. The magnitude of…
A recently proposed superconducting linear collider with energy recovery (ERLC) and multiple beam reuse employs twin RF structures to eliminate parasitic collisions in the linacs. Such a collider can operate in either pulsed or…

Treating the MSSM as an effective theory, we study the implications of having dimension five operators in the superpotential for flavor and CP-violating processes, exploiting the linear decoupling of observable effects with respect to the…
SuperB experiment could represent an ideal environment to test a new U (1) symmetry related to light dark forces candidates. A promising discovery channel is represented by the resonant production of a boson U, followed by its decay into…
Measurements of $b\to c\tau^-\bar\nu_\tau$ transitions at colliders are highly motivated for testing lepton flavor universality (LFU), a cornerstone hypothesis of the Standard Model (SM). Potential observations of LFU violation could…
If low energy supersymmetry is realized in nature it is possible that a first generation linear collider will only have access to some of the superpartners with electroweak quantum numbers. Among these, sleptons can provide sensitive probes…
