We suggest mass matrices for neutrinos and charged leptons that can explain solar and atmospheric neutrino data. The resulting flavor mixing matrix $V_{\nu}$ has a property that $(V_{\nu})_{13}=0$, thus making $\nu_e \leftrightarrow…
A search for heavy resonances, decaying into the standard model vector bosons and the standard model Higgs boson, is presented. The final states considered contain a b quark-antiquark pair from the decay of the Higgs boson, along with…
The ratio between the B$_\mathrm{c}^+$ $\to$ J/$\psi$$\tau^+\nu_\tau$ and B$_\mathrm{c}^+$ $\to$ J/$\psi$$\mu^+\nu_\mu$ branching fractions is measured using a data sample of proton-proton collisions collected by CMS at a center-of-mass…
Reconstruction of the $B^0 \to D^{*-} \tau^+ \nu_{\tau}$ angular distribution is complicated by the strongly-biasing effect of losing the neutrino information from both the $B$ and $\tau$ decays. In this work, a novel method for making…
We study theoretical and experimental facets of mass determination of new particle states. Assuming supersymmetry, we update the quark and lepton mass matrices at the grand unification scale accounting for threshold corrections enhanced by…
A search for new heavy resonances decaying to pairs of bosons (WW, WZ, or WH) is presented. The analysis uses data from proton-proton collisions collected with the CMS detector at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an…
We have shown previously that the mass of the muon neutrino can be determined from the energy released in the decay of the pi (+-) mesons, and that the mass of the electron neutrino can be determined from the energy released in the decay of…
The knowledge of $\tau$ lepton kinematic and kinematic of the $\tau$ pair in the decay $Z/H \rightarrow \tau\tau$ is essential for various analysis at LHC. However, the reconstruction of the whole kinematic of the $\tau$ decay is a…
We present a search for the B- ->tau- nu-bar decay in a data sample of 82 fb^(-1) collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the BaBar detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric B Factory. Continuum and combinatorial backgrounds are suppressed by…
A search for a new charged particle X with mass between 0.3 and 2.0 TeV decaying to a W boson and a photon is presented, using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment and…
Discovering neutrino decay would be strong evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model. Presently, there are only lax lower limits on the lifetime $\tau$ of neutrinos, of $\tau/m \sim 10^{-3}$ s eV$^{-1}$ or worse, where $m$ is the…
The limited availability and accuracy of simulated data has motivated the use of foundation models in high energy physics, with the idea to first train a task-agnostic model on large and potentially unlabeled datasets. This enables the…
This paper reports a search for a light CP-odd scalar resonance with a mass of 20 GeV to 90 GeV in 13 TeV proton-proton collision data with an integrated luminosity of 140 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron…
The radiative decay $\nu_H \to \nu_L + \gamma$ of massive neutrinos is analyzed in the framework of the standard model with lepton mixing for very strong magnetic fields $B\gg B_{cr} = m_e^2/e \sim 4.14 \times 10^{13}$G. The analysis is…
Results are presented for a test of the compositeness of the heaviest charged lepton, $\tau$, using data collected by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at the CERN LHC. The data were…
A Majorana mass term for the $\tau$ neutrino would induce neutrino - antineutrino mixing and thereby a process which violates fermion number by two units. We study the possibility of distinguishing between a massive Majorana and a Dirac…
The rare decays {$B^- \to \tau \bar\nu$}, \mbox{$B \to \tau^+ \tau^-$}, {$b \to X \nu \bar\nu$} and \mbox{$b \to X \tau^+ \tau^-$} all contain third generation leptons in the final state, and hence are sensitive to new physics that couples…
Resonance-mediated many body decays of heavy mesons are analyzed. We focus on some particular processes, in which the available phase space for the decay of the intermediate resonance is very narrow. It is shown that the mass selection…
We show how a very accurate measurement of the branching ratios of the leptonic decay modes of the $D^\pm_s$ mesons can lead to a significant improvement in the mass limit for the tau neutrino.
A novel technique based on machine learning is introduced to reconstruct the decays of highly Lorentz-boosted particles. Using an end-to-end deep learning strategy, the technique bypasses existing rule-based particle reconstruction methods…
