B^\pm -> D K^\pm with direct CP violation in charm

Mario Martone, Jure Zupan

We investigate the implications of direct CP violation (CPV) on the determination of the unitarity triangle angle γ from B -> DK decays. We show that γ can still be extracted even…

Dark Matter Search at a Linear Collider: Effective Operator Approach

Yoonseok John Chae, Maxim Perelstein

Experiments at electron-positron colliders can search for dark matter particle pair-production in association with a photon. We estimate the sensitivity of this search at the propo…

SU(3) Sum Rules for Charm Decay

Yuval Grossman, Dean J Robinson

We present flavor SU(3) sum rules for and decay amplitudes, that are valid to second order in symmetry breaking by the strange quark mass spurion. Decay rate…

Neutralino Oscillations at the LHC

Yuval Grossman, Bibhushan Shakya, Yuhsin Tsai

We study a supersymmetric phenomenon that can give spectacular signals at the LHC: oscillations of neutralinos. Such oscillations can be naturally realised in R-symmetric models, w…

Lifting degeneracies in Higgs couplings using single top production in association with a Higgs boson

Marco Farina, Christophe Grojean, Fabio Maltoni +2

Current Higgs data show an ambiguity in the value of the Yukawa couplings to quarks and leptons. Not so much because of still large uncertainties in the measurements but as the res…

Mesino Oscillation in MFV SUSY

Joshua Berger, Csaba Csáki, Yuval Grossman +1

R-parity violating supersymmetry in a Minimal Flavor Violation paradigm can produce same-sign dilepton signals via direct sbottom-LSP pair production. Such signals arise when the s…

A Higgslike Dilaton

Brando Bellazzini, Csaba Csáki, Jay Hubisz +2

We examine the possibility that the recently discovered 125 GeV higgs like resonance actually corresponds to a dilaton: the Goldstone boson of scale invariance spontaneously broken…

Testing BSM physics through correlations between flavor observables

Monika Blanke

I provide an overview of the connections between flavor violating observables in the K and B meson systems beyond the Standard Model (BSM). Model independent correlations, both in…

Electroweak Baryogenesis in R-symmetric Supersymmetry

R. Fok, Graham D. Kribs, Adam Martin +1

We demonstrate that electroweak baryogenesis can occur in a supersymmetric model with an exact R-symmetry. The minimal R-symmetric supersymmetric model contains chiral superfields…

XENON100 Implications for Naturalness in the MSSM, NMSSM and lambda-SUSY

Maxim Perelstein, Bibhushan Shakya

In a recent paper arXiv:1107.5048, we discussed the correlation between the elastic neutralino-nucleon scattering cross section, constrained by dark matter direct detection experim…

Momentum asymmetries as CP violating observables

Joshua Berger, Monika Blanke, Yuval Grossman +1

Three body decays can exhibit CP violation that arises from interfering diagrams with different orderings of the final state particles. We construct several momentum asymmetry obse…

Complete Tenth-Order QED Contribution to the Muon g-2

Tatsumi Aoyama, Masashi Hayakawa, Toichiro Kinoshita +1

We report the result of our calculation of the complete tenth-order QED terms of the muon g-2. Our result is a_μ^{(10)} = 753.29 (1.04) in units of (α/π)^5, which is about 4.5 s.d.…

Tenth-Order QED Contribution to the Electron g-2 and an Improved Value of the Fine Structure Constant

Tatsumi Aoyama, Masashi Hayakawa, Toichiro Kinoshita +1

This paper presents the complete QED contribution to the electron g-2 up to the tenth order. With the help of the automatic code generator, we have evaluated all 12672 diagrams of…

Composite Higgs Sketch

Brando Bellazzini, Csaba Csáki, Jay Hubisz +2

The coupling of a composite Higgs to the standard model fields can deviate substantially from the standard model values. In this case perturbative unitarity might break down before…

KeV Warm Dark Matter and Composite Neutrinos

Dean J Robinson, Yuhsin Tsai

Elementary keV sterile Dirac neutrinos can be a natural ingredient of the composite neutrino scenario. For a certain class of composite neutrino theories, these sterile neutrinos n…

A Fermionic Top Partner: Naturalness and the LHC

Joshua Berger, Jay Hubisz, Maxim Perelstein

Naturalness demands that the quadratic divergence of the one-loop top contribution to the Higgs mass be cancelled at a scale below 1 TeV. This can be achieved by introducing a ferm…

Testing for new physics in singly Cabibbo suppressed D decays

Yuval Grossman, Alexander L. Kagan, Jure Zupan

We devise tests for a new physics origin of the recently measured direct CP violation in singly Cabibbo suppressed D decays. The tests take the form of sum rules for the CP asymmet…

A consistent picture for large penguins in D -> pi+ pi-, K+ K-

Joachim Brod, Yuval Grossman, Alexander L. Kagan +1

A long-standing puzzle in charm physics is the large difference between the D0 -> K+ K- and D0 -> pi+ pi- decay rates. Recently, the LHCb and CDF collaborations reported a surprisi…

The birds and the Bs in RS: the b to s gamma penguin in a warped extra dimension

Monika Blanke, Bibhushan Shakya, Philip Tanedo +1

We calculate contributions to the photon and gluon magnetic dipole operators that mediate b -> s gamma and b -> d gamma transitions in the Randall-Sundrum model of a warped extra d…

Light Stops from Seiberg Duality

Csaba Csaki, Lisa Randall, John Terning

If low-energy supersymmetry is realized in nature, a seemingly contrived hierarchy in the squark mass spectrum appears to be required. We show that composite supersymmetric theorie…
