The exact solvability and impressive pedagogical implementation of the harmonic oscillator creation and annihilation operators make it a problem of great physical relevance and the most fundamental one in quantum mechanics. So would be the…
We study the neutrino mass generation in the $SU(4)_L \otimes U(1)_X$ electroweak extension of the standard model by considering non-renormalizable dimension five effective operators. It is shown that there exist two topologies for the…
We present a new approach for the simulation of Beyond Standard Model (BSM) physics within the Herwig++ event generator. Our approach is more generic than previous methods with the aim of minimising the effort of implementing further new…
We perform an analysis within the Standard Model of $B^{0,+} \to K^{*0,+} \mu^+ \mu^-$ decays in light of the recent measurements from the LHCb experiment, showing that new data strengthen the need for sizable hadronic contributions and…
We show how the standard constitutive assumptions for the macroscopic Maxwell equations can be relaxed. This is done by arguing that the Maxwellian excitation fields (D,H) should be dispensed with, on the grounds that they (a) cannot be…
Intersecting stacks of supersymmetric fractional branes on the Z_6' orientifold may be used to construct the supersymmetric Standard Model. If a,b are the stacks that generate the SU(3)_{colour} and SU(2)_L gauge particles, then, in order…

This Report summarizes the results of the activities in 2014 of the Standard Model Working Group within the workshop "What Next" of INFN. We present a framework, general questions, and some indications of possible answers on the main issue…
We present a concise review of the status of the Standard Model and of the search for new physics.
Let F/Q be a totally real field extension of degree g and let D be a definite quaternion algebra with center F. Fix an odd prime p which is unramified in F and D. We produce weight shiftings between (mod p) automorphic forms on the…
We consider asymptotically anti-de Sitter gravity coupled to tachyonic scalar fields with mass at or slightly above the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound in d greater than or equal to 4 spacetime dimensions. The boundary conditions in these…
We consider global issues in minimal supergravity models where a single field inflaton potential emerges. In a particular case we reproduce the Starobinsky model and its description dual to a certain formulation of R+R^2 supergravity. For…
We systematically study potential effects of Beyond the Standard Model physics in the $e^+ e^- \rightarrow Z H$ process. To this end, we include all relevant dimension-6 Standard Model Effective Field Theory operators and work to…
A one-parameter class of simple models of two-dimensional dilaton gravity, which can be exactly solved including back-reaction effects, is investigated at both classical and quantum levels. This family contains the RST model as a special…
Recent LHC highlights of searches for Higgs bosons beyond the Standard Model are presented. The results by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations are based on 2011 and 2012 proton-proton collision data at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV,…
Standard model is reconstructed using the generalized differential calculus extended on the discrete space $M_4\times Z_3$. $Z_3$ is necessary for the inclusion of strong interaction. Our starting point is the generalized gauge field…
We propose a new basis of spin-operators, specific for the case of planar theories, which allows a Lagrangian decomposition into spin-parity components. The procedure enables us to discuss unitarity and spectral properties of gravity models…
Extending the Standard Model with a new complex singlet scalar, right-handed neutrinos and a vector-like quark allows to simultaneously tackle several problems in particle physics and cosmology within a constrained framework that can be…
Sterile neutrinos have been invoked to explain the observed neutrino masses, but they can also have significant implications for cosmology and accelerator experiments. We explore the collider signatures of a simple extension of the Standard…
Using the Fujikawa and the heat-kernel methods we make a complete and detailed computation of the global, gauge and gravitational anomalies present in the Standard Model defined on a curved space time with torsion. We find new contributions…
