Several models of dark matter motivate the concept of hidden sectors consisting of SU(3)_C x SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y singlet fields. The interaction between our and hidden matter could be transmitted by new abelian U'(1) gauge bosons A' mixing…
We examine the possibility of using rare, 3-body decays of a new neutral gauge boson, \ztwo, to probe its gauge couplings at hadron colliders. Specifically, we study the decays $\ztwo\to W\ell\nu$ and $\ztwo\to Z\nu\bar\nu$ and find that…
W-pair production in e+ e- annihilation at 500 GeV is studied using different Monte Carlo generators and the proposed detector for the Linear Collider in its TESLA version. Semileptonic W decays are used to give hints for the detector…
We studied the dimension-6 leptonic anomalous gauge couplings in the formulation of linearly realized gauge symmetry effective Lagrangian and investigated the constraints on these anomalous couplings from the existed experimental data…
We reinterpret publicly available $K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$ data collected by NA62 from 2016 to 2024 to constrain the fundamental vectorial coupling of the QCD axion to down and strange quarks. Using a fully reproducible likelihood…
A search for axioelectric absorption of solar axions produced in the $ p + d \rightarrow {^3\rm{He}}+\gamma (5.5 \rm{MeV})$ reactions has been performed with a BGO detector placed in a low-background setup. A model-independent limit on an…
An interesting proposal suggests that a QCD axion $(a)$ coupling to the up quark, down quark, and electron remains viable for an axion mass near 10~MeV. In this paper, this possibility is reexamined by deriving new bounds from kaon decays.…
The increasing size of the data recorded by the CDF and D{\O} experiments at the Tevatron collider at $\sqrt{s}=$ 1.96 TeV makes the diboson physics program more accessible for probes of the electroweak gauge structure in the Standard…
Electroweak Precision Measurements are stringent tests of the Standard Model and sensitive probes to New Physics. Accurate studies of the $Z$-boson couplings to the first-generation quarks, which are currently constrained from LEP data to a…
Multi-strange baryon correlations with charged hadrons have been measured in the p+p and d+Au reference systems at s^(0.5) = 200 GeV per nucleon pair, for future comparison with correlations in Au+Au collisions. Weak correlation peaks are…
We compute the decay rates for the processes $Z\to V+\gamma$, where $Z$ is the $Z$ boson, $\gamma$ is the photon, and $V$ is one of the vector quarkonia $J/\psi$ or $\Upsilon(nS)$, with $n=1$, $2$, or $3$. Our computations include…
We report the results of a search for a W' boson produced in p-pbar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV using a 106 pb-1 data sample recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We observe no significant excess of events…
We study the contributions of an axion-like particle to the electroweak precision observables. The particle is assumed to couple with the standard model electroweak gauge bosons. We provide the formulae of the contributions valid for any…
The weak bosons, leptons and quarks are considered as composite particles. The interaction of the constituents is a confining gauge interaction. The standard electroweak model is a low energy approximation. The mixing of the neutral weak…
A search for decays of the Higgs and Z boson to pairs of J/$\psi$ or $\Upsilon$(nS) (n = 1, 2, 3) mesons, with their subsequent decay to $\mu^+\mu^-$ pairs, is presented. The analysis uses data from proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$…
We search for di-muon decays of a low-mass Higgs boson ($A^0$) in the fully reconstructed decay chain of $\Upsilon(2S,3S) \to \pipi\Upsilon(1S)$, $\Upsilon(1S) \to \g A^0$, $A^0 \to \mumu$. The $A^0$ is predicted by several extensions of…
A search for the Higgs boson produced in association with a W or Z boson and decaying to bottom quarks is presented. A sample of approximately 24/fb of data recorded by the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, operating at…
The exclusive decay of $\Upsilon$ to a vector plus pseudoscalar charmonium is studied in perturbative QCD. The corresponding branching ratios are predicted to be of order $10^{-6}$ for first three $\Upsilon$ resonances, and we expect these…
A study of Z-boson pair production in e+e- annihilation at center-of-mass energies between 190 GeV and 209 GeV is reported. Final states containing only leptons, (l+l-l+l- and l+l-nn), quark and lepton pairs, (qql+l-, qqnn) and only hadrons…
Axion models generically suffer from a severe quality problem when coupled to gravity. In this article we provide a very simple model with a high quality axion. The axion is a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson of the baryon number symmetry,…
