We investigate three intriguing anomalies within the framework of the General Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. These anomalies include a significant deviation of the experimental results for the muon anomalous magnetic moment…
In this work, we estimate the background components in muography using the MuTe: a hybrid muon telescope composed of two subdetectors -a scintillator hodoscope and a Water Cherenkov Detector (WCD). The hodoscope records the trajectories of…
We present experimental results on the angular distributions of Drell-Yan muons produced by a 120 GeV/$c$ proton beam interacting with liquid hydrogen and deuterium targets. The dimuon angular distributions in both polar ($\theta$) and…
We present a leading order QCD analysis of a sample of neutrino induced charged-current events with two muons in the final state originating in the lead-scintillating fibre calorimeter of the CHORUS detector. The results are based on a…
Cosmic ray muons have emerged as a non-conventional high-energy radiation probe to monitor dense and large objects. Muons are the most abundant cosmic radiation on Earth, however, their flux at sea level is approximately 10,000 min^-1m^-2…
We present additional studies of the kinematics of the anomalous events observed by the CDF experiment. These events contain a high-$p_T$ lepton, large transverse missing energy ($\MET$), and 2 or 3 high-$E_T$ jets, one of which contains…
The hypothesis is discussed that muon bundles of extremaly high multiplicity observed recently by ALEPH detector (in the dedicated cosmic-ray run) can originate from the strangelets colliding with the atmosphere.
A search for new physics is carried out in events with at least three electrons or muons in any combination, jets, and missing transverse momentum. Results are based on the sample of proton-proton collision data produced by the LHC at a…
In extensive air shower experiments, the number of muons crossing a detector at a given position, as well as their arrival time, arrival direction, and energy, are determined by a more fundamental 3-dimensional distribution linked to the…
We discuss some aspects of dark matter phenomenology, in particular related to Direct detection and collider searches, of models in which a fermionic Dark Matter interacts with SM fermions through spin 1 mediators. Contrary to conventional…
We use trajectory calculations to successfully explain two-photon "ghost" diffraction, a phenomenon previously explained via quantum mechanical entanglement. The diffraction patterns are accumulated one photon pair at a time. The…
New results from the CDF Collaboration on the invariant mass distribution of dijet events observed at the Tevatron are used to constrain the masses and couplings of new gauge bosons ($W'$ and $Z'$) as well as fundamental diquarks which can…
Current simulations of air showers produced by ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) do not satisfactorily describe recent experimental data, particularly when looking at the muonic shower component relative to the electromagnetic one.…
We characterize the statistics of nearest-neighbor and contact distance distributions for Thomas cluster process (TCP), which is a special case of Poisson cluster process. In particular, we derive the cumulative distribution function (CDF)…
Upward throughgoing muons in underground detectors are induced by atmospheric $\nu_\mu$ with energies in the $1-10^4 GeV$ range. The oscillations of atmospheric muon neutrinos should affect mainly those with energy smaller than $E_\nu \sim…
The SIMPLE Collaboration has reported results from their superheated C2ClF5 droplet detectors, including a description of acoustic discrimination between \alpha decays and nuclear recoils. Our concern is that the events in the neutron…
Despite the significant experimental effort made in the last decades, the origin of the ultra high energy cosmic rays is still unknown. The chemical composition of these energetic particles carries key astrophysical information to identify…
The pre-launch event simulation and reconstruction performed beyond our expectations for real data, essentially without modification, and made possible the immediate start of science analysis. But the on-orbit data exhibit unanticipated…
We report the results of two signature-based searches for new physics using 1.9- 2.0 fb-1 of data collected at the CDF experiment. Both analyses look in events containing a photon, a b-tagged jet, and missing transverse energy. The first…
We present an analysis strategy for probing physics beyond the Standard Model via modifications to the parton distribution functions (PDFs) in a muon beam, which measurably alter the kinematics of all hard processes at a future muon…
