The Large Hadron Collider presents an unprecedented opportunity to probe the realm of new physics in the TeV region and shed light on some of the core unresolved issues of particle physics. These include the nature of electroweak symmetry…
The usual range of new particle masses, up to a few TeV, searched for at the LHC may be substantially extended if ultraheavy diquark particles exist. A diquark scalar, $S_{uu}$, that interacts perturbatively with two up quarks may be as…
We examine the prospects for probing heavy top quark-antiquark (t-tbar) resonances at the upgraded LHC in pp collisions at $\root_s = 14 TeV. Heavy t-tbar resonances (Z' bosons) are predicted by several theories that go beyond the standard…
We analyze the potential of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to search for excited spin-1/2 electrons and neutrinos. Assuming a SU(2)_L X U(1)_Y invariant model, we study in detail the single production of excited electrons and…
We show that high energy measurements of Drell-Yan at the LHC can serve as electroweak precision tests. Dimension-6 operators, from the Standard Model Effective Field Theory, modify the high energy behavior of electroweak gauge boson…
The Large Hadron Collider will restart with higher energy and luminosity in 2015. This achievement opens the possibility of discovering new phenomena hardly described by the Standard Model, that is based on two neutral gauge bosons: the…
Searches for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) with the CMS and ATLAS experiments in pp collisions at a centre of mass energy of sqrt(s)=7 TeV at the LHC are presented. The discussed results are based on data taken in 2011, making use…
In this note we consider the sensitivity of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to the single production of new heavy vector-like quarks. We consider a model with large mixing with the standard model top quark with electroweak production of…
We consider $Z'$s in heterotic string derived models and study $Z'$ resonant production at the TeV scale at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We use various kinematic differential distributions for the Drell-Yan process at NNLO in QCD to…
We study and compare the discovery potential for heavy neutral gauge bosons (Z') at the various hadron colliders under discussion at Snowmass 2001 which range in sqrt{s} from 14 TeV for the LHC to 200 TeV for a variant of the VLHC. Typical…
Vectorlike leptons are an intriguing possibility for physics beyond the Standard Model. We study the reach for discovering (at 5$\sigma$ significance) or excluding (at 95 per cent confidence) models of charged vectorlike leptons that mix…
I discuss the motivation and physics potential of an electron-positron linear collider with a center-of-mass energy at the 1 TeV scale, in light of what we may expect to learn with the LHC. The comparison is illustrated with examples drawn…
We study the potentiality of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to unravel the existence of first generation scalar leptoquarks. Working with the most general $SU(2)_L \otimes U(1)_Y$ invariant leptoquark interactions, we analyze in…
The LHC discovery potential of heavy top partners decaying into a top quark and a $Z$ boson is studied in the trilepton channel at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. The clean multilepton final state allows to strongly reduce the background contaminations…
Precision measurements of the Drell-Yan (DY) cross section at the LHC constrain new physics scenarios that involve new states with electroweak (EW) charges. We analyze these constraints and apply them to models that can address the LHC…
We analyze the Drell-Yan lepton pair production at forward rapidity at the Large Hadron Collider. Using the dipole framework for the computation of the cross section we find a significant suppression in comparison to the collinear…
The Large Hadron Collider at CERN will provide Pb-Pb collisions at energies up to $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 5.5 TeV. We speculate on global observables, i.e. the charged particle density at mid-rapidity, chemical freeze-out conditions and…
Final states including leptons are most promising to detect early signs of new physics processes when the Large Hadron Collider will start proton-proton collisions at the centre of mass energy of 14\TeV. The reach for Supersymmetry and…
We explore the capability of the LHC to distinguish the production of Kaluza-Klein(KK) excitations in Drell-Yan collisions from an ordinary $Z'$ at the LHC in the case of one extra dimension with the fermions localized at the orbifold fixed…
A brief overview of the signatures for several different models with extra dimensions at the stage II, $\sqrt s=175-200$ TeV VLHC is presented. In all cases the search reaches for these models in the Drell-Yan channel are found to be in the…
