The dilaton, a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson (pNGB) of broken scale invariance, is an appealing ultralight dark matter (DM) candidate. Its mass is protected by conformal invariance and it can be searched for in tabletop experiments. However,…
We argue that already the first year run at the LHC with 3.5 TeV proton beams will provide a quick and effective way to test the dynamics of the color dipole-gluon interactions and the small x behavior of the gluon density in proton from…
A light pseudo-scalar that is copiously produced at the LHC may still be allowed by present searches. While masses above 65 GeV are effectively covered by di-photon searches, the lower mass window can be tested by a new search for boosted…
The leading order of the large N limit of the O(N) symmetric phi-six theory in three dimensions has a phase which exhibits spontaneous breaking of scale symmetry accompanied by a massless dilaton which is a Goldstone boson. At the…
A theoretical model involving phonon and lochon (local charged boson) mediated pairing of electrons in Pd(H/D)x is suggested to explain the possible observation of superconductivity in the range 51K < Tc < 295K (when x exceeds unity). In…
We discuss a scenario in which the diphoton enhancement at $M_{\gamma \gamma}$ = 750 GeV, observed by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations, is a neutral technipion $\tilde{\pi}^0$. We consider two distinct minimal models for the dynamical…
We reveal a set of novel decay topologies for the 125 GeV Higgs boson in supersymmetry which are initiated by its decay into a pair of neutralinos, and discuss their collider search strategies. This category of exotic Higgs decays are…
We analyze the phenomenology of the top-pion and top-Higgs states in models with strong top dynamics, and translate the present LHC searches for the Standard Model Higgs into bounds on these scalar states. We explore the possibility that…
In this work we explore the 7 TeV LHC implication on light top squark (stop) and investigate discovery limits at both 8 and 14 TeV LHC using same-sign dilepton signature. We consider a simplified spectrum with gluino pair production…
We predict an unconventional background free signal of the Higgs boson in $R$-parity violating nonminimal supersymmetric models at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The signal comprises dilepton plus four hadronic jets and two large…
In the LHC searches for gluinos it is usually assumed that they decay predominantly into the lightest neutralino plus jets. In this work we perform a proof-of-concept collider analysis of a novel supersymmetric signal in which gluinos decay…
A natural, non-supersymmetric solution to the hierarchy problem generically requires fermionic partners of the top quark with masses not much heavier than 500 GeV. We study the pair production and detection at the LHC of the top partners…
We study various transitions in dilaton holography, including those associated with the spontaneous breaking of a global (superfluid case) or local (superconductor case) U(1) symmetry in diverse dimensions d. By analyzing the thermodynamics…
A natural region in the parameter space of the NMSSM can accomodate a CP-even Higgs boson with a mass of about 125 GeV and, simultaneously, an enhanced cross section times branching ratio in the di-photon channel. This happens in the case…
We study a class of realizations of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model that is motivated by dark matter and Higgs data, and in which the lightest pseudoscalar Higgs boson mass is smaller than twice the bottom quark mass and…
This paper presents the possibility of using very thin Low Gain Avalanche Diodes (LGAD) ($25 - 50\mu$m thick) as tracking detector at future hadron colliders, where particle fluence will be above $10^{16}\; n_{eq}/cm^2$. In the present…
We discuss whether the enhancement in the diphoton final state at $M_{\gamma \gamma}$ = 750 GeV, observed recently by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations could be a neutral pseudoscalar technipion $\tilde{\pi}^0$. We considered two distinct…
We propose a simple model for Dirac neutrinos where the smallness of neutrino mass follows from a parameter $\kappa$ whose absence enhances the symmetry of the theory. The symmetry breaking is performed by a two-doublet Higgs sector…
The observation of a new boson of mass $\sim 125\gev$ at the CERN LHC may finally have revealed the existence of a Higgs boson. Now we have the opportunity to scrutinize its properties, determining its quantum numbers and couplings to the…
The H -> mu mu signature provides excellent mass resolution for Higgs bosons, and is therefore an important Higgs boson decay channel despite the small dimuon branching ratio. We present an optimization of selection criteria in a search for…
