We examine the scattering of longitudinal $W$, $Z$ and Higgs bosons in the Standard Model using the equivalent Goldstone-boson Lagrangian. Our calculations include the full one-loop scattering matrix between the states $W^+_LW^-_L$,…

Perturbative partial-wave amplitudes diverge in cases with a massless exchanged particle in the $t$-channel. We argue that the divergence is an artifact of perturbation theory and give a prescription for the all-orders correction factor…

Diffractive processes possible to be measured at the LHC are listed and briefly discussed. This includes soft (elastic scattering, exclusive meson pair production, diffractive bremsstrahlung) and hard (single and double Pomeron exchange…

Extensions of the standard model with universal extra dimensions are interesting both as phenomenological templates as well as model-building fertile ground. For instance, they are one the prototypes for theories exhibiting compressed…

Single top quark production through weak interactions is considered to be an important source of charged Higgs in the Minimal Super Symmetric Standard Model. In the s-channel single top production having largest cross-section may appear as…

Many Standard Model extensions predict doubly-charged scalars; in particular, all models with resonances in charged lepton-pair channels with non-vanishing lepton number; if these are pair produced at the LHC, the observation of their decay…

We study the LHC signatures of new gauge bosons in the gauge-invariant minimal Higgsless model. It predicts an extra pair of W_1 and Z_1 bosons which can be as light as ~400GeV and play a key role in the delay of unitarity violation. We…

A new approach to jet-shape identification based on linear regression is discussed. It is designed for searches for new particles at the TeV scale decaying hadronically with strongly collimated jets. We illustrate the method using a Monte…

Top quarks may be produced in large numbers in association with new physics at the LHC. The polarization of these top quarks probes the chiral structure of the new physics. We discuss several kinematic distributions which are sensitive to…

Precision tests of the Standard Model in the Strong and Electroweak sectors play an important role, among the physics goals of LHC experiments. Because of the nature of proton-proton processes, observables based on the measurement of the…

If a TeV-scale charged gauge boson (W') is discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), it will become imperative to determine its chiral couplings to standard model (SM) fermions in order to learn about the underlying theory containing…

We summarize measurements of b and c jet production at the LHC, which are an important signature and background for decays of massive particles such as H-to-b-bbar. These include measurements of the inclusive and dijet production of heavy…

We explore the constraints on the parameter space of a Randall-Sundrum warped geometry scenario, where a radion field arises out of the attempt to stabilise the radius of the extra compact spacelike dimension, using the most recent data…

New, massive bosons could be found with the LHC. Theories with warped extra dimensions and supersymmetry predict the existence of such resonances, which for some model parameters, have a significant branching fraction to two Higgs bosons. A…

This note presents the prospects of searches for new heavy resonances decaying to diboson (WW) and measurements of electroweak WW/WZ production via vector boson scattering (VBS) in association with a high-mass dijet system in the $\ell\nu…

We study the extent to which spin assignments of new particles produced at the LHC can be deduced in the decay of a scalar or fermion C into a new stable (or quasi-stable) particle A through the chain C \to B^\pm q, B^\pm \to A W^\pm, W^\pm…

In view of the future Higgs factories, this work presents the status of scalar searches at the LHC with an emphasis on the H(650) resonance which has been observed in WW, ZZ and h(95)h(125) channels, with a cumulative evidence of about 7…

If signals of new physics are discovered at the LHC it will be crucial to determine the spin structure of the new model. We discuss a method that can help to address this question with a low integrated luminosity, L=1 fb^-1, at sqrt{s}=14…

We investigate the longitudinal $WW$ scattering in models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking featuring a spin one axial and vector state and a composite Higgs. We also investigate the effects of a composite spin two state which has…

The existence of a new strong interacting sector around E ~ 1 TeV is a common feature of Higgsless electroweak theories but also of theories with a light Higgs, for instance, when this is not elementary. In those schemes, this new…
