Mixing It Up With MT2: Unbiased Mass Measurements at Hadron Colliders

David Curtin

Recently, much progress has been made on techniques to measure the masses of new particles with partially-invisible decays at a hadron collider. We examine for the first time the r…

Delta F = 2 observables and B -> X_q gamma decays in the Left-Right Model: Higgs particles striking back

Monika Blanke, Andrzej J. Buras, Katrin Gemmler +1

We present a complete study of Delta S = 2 and Delta B = 2 processes in the left-right model (LRM) based on the weak gauge group SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R x U(1)_{B-L}. This includes epsil…

MFV SUSY: A Natural Theory for R-Parity Violation

Csaba Csáki, Yuval Grossman, Ben Heidenreich

We present an alternative approach to low-energy supersymmetry. Instead of imposing R-parity we apply the minimal flavor violation (MFV) hypothesis to the R-parity violating MSSM.…

CP Violation in τ->νπK_S and D->πK_S: The Importance of K_S-K_L Interference

Yuval Grossman, Yosef Nir

The -factories have measured CP asymmetries in the and modes. The state is identified by its decay to two pions at a time that is close to the $K_S…

Tenth-Order QED Lepton Anomalous Magnetic Moment --- Eighth-Order Vertices Containing a Second-Order Vacuum Polarization

Tatsumi Aoyama, Masashi Hayakawa, Toichiro Kinoshita +1

This paper reports the evaluation of the tenth-order QED contribution to the lepton g-2 from the gauge-invariant set of 2072 Feynman diagrams, called Set IV, which are obtained by…

Optimization of the baseline and the parent muon energy for a low energy neutrino factory

Amol Dighe, Srubabati Goswami, Shamayita Ray

We discuss the optimal setup for a low energy neutrino factory in order to achieve a 5σ-discovery of a nonzero mixing angle θ_{13}, a nonzero CP phase δ_{CP}, and the mass hierarch…

Missing Energy Signatures of Dark Matter at the LHC

Patrick J. Fox, Roni Harnik, Joachim Kopp +1

We use ATLAS and CMS searches in the mono-jet + missing energy and mono-photon + missing energy final state to set limits on the couplings of dark matter to quarks and gluons. Work…

Measuring gamma with B -> K pi pi and B -> K K Kbar Decays

Nicolas Rey-Le Lorier, David London

We present a method for cleanly extracting the CP phase gamma from the Dalitz plots of B+ -> K+ pi+ pi-, Bd -> K+ pi0 pi-, Bd -> K0 pi+ pi-, Bd -> K+ K0 K-, and Bd -> K0 K0 Kbar0.…

Kinematic Edges with Flavor Oscillation and Non-Zero Widths

Yuval Grossman, Mario Martone, Dean J. Robinson

Kinematic edges in cascade decays provide a probe of the masses of new particles. In some new physics scenarios the decay chain involves intermediate particles of different flavors…

Fine-Tuning Implications of Direct Dark Matter Searches in the MSSM

Maxim Perelstein, Bibhushan Shakya

We study theoretical implications of direct dark matter searches in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). We assume that no accidental cancellations occur in the spin-i…

Goldstone Fermion Dark Matter

Brando Bellazzini, Csaba Csaki, Jay Hubisz +2

We propose that the fermionic superpartner of a weak-scale Goldstone boson can be a natural WIMP candidate. The p-wave annihilation of this `Goldstone fermion' into pairs of Goldst…

Minimal Lepton Flavor Violation and Renormalization Group Evolution of Lepton Masses and Mixing

Yuval Grossman, Shamayita Ray

We study the renormalization group equations (RGEs) of the neutrino parameters in models of Minimal Lepton Flavor Violation. In such models, the RGEs can be described in terms of f…

A Seiberg Dual for the MSSM: Partially Composite W and Z

Csaba Csaki, Yuri Shirman, John Terning

We examine the possibility that the SU(2) gauge group of the standard model appears as the dual "magnetic" gauge group of a supersymmetric gauge theory, thus the W and Z (and throu…

Four boosted tops from a Regge gluon

Maxim Perelstein, Andrew Spray

The hierarchy problem can by addressed by extending the four-dimensional space-time to include an extra compact spatial dimension with non-trivial "warped" metric, as first suggest…

Simplified Models for LHC New Physics Searches

Daniele Alves, Nima Arkani-Hamed, Sanjay Arora +92

This document proposes a collection of simplified models relevant to the design of new-physics searches at the LHC and the characterization of their results. Both ATLAS and CMS hav…

A new CP violating observable for the LHC

Joshua Berger, Monika Blanke, Yuval Grossman

We study a new type of CP violating observable that arises in three body decays that are dominated by an intermediate resonance. If two interfering diagrams exist with different or…
