Vacuum Stability and Higgs Diphoton Decays in the MSSM

Marcela Carena, Stefania Gori, Ian Low +2

Current Higgs data at the Large Hadron Collider is compatible with a SM signal at the 2 level, but the central value of the signal strength in the diphoton channel is enhanced w…

An Explicit SU(12) Family and Flavor Unification Model

Carl H. Albright, Robert P. Feger, Thomas W. Kephart

An explicit SUSY SU(12) unification model with three light chiral families is presented which avoids any external flavor symmetries. The hierarchy of quark and lepton masses and mi…

Scrutinizing the Higgs Signal and Background in the Golden Channel

Yi Chen, Nhan Tran, Roberto Vega-Morales

Kinematic distributions in the decays of the newly discovered resonance to four leptons are a powerful test of the tensor structure of its couplings to electroweak gauge bosons. We…

"L=R" -- Lepton Number at the LHC

Claudia Frugiuele, Thomas Gregoire, Piyush Kumar +1

We perform a detailed study of a variety of LHC signals in supersymmetric models where lepton number is promoted to an (approximate) U(1)_R symmetry. Such a symmetry has interestin…

Compatibility of theta13 and the Type I Seesaw Model with A4 Symmetry

Mu-Chun Chen, Jinrui Huang, Jon-Michael O'Bryan +2

We derive formulae for neutrino masses and mixing angles in a type I seesaw framework with an underlying A4 flavor symmetry. In particular, the Majorana neutrino mass matrix includ…

Coupling spans of the Higgs-like boson

Bogdan A. Dobrescu, Joseph D. Lykken

Using the LHC and Tevatron data, we set upper and lower limits on the total width of the Higgs-like boson. The upper limit is based on the well-motivated assumption that the Higgs…

Nuclear Shadowing in Electro-Weak Interactions

B. Z. Kopeliovich, J. G. Morfin, Ivan Schmidt

Shadowing is a quantum phenomenon leading to a non-additivity of electroweak cross sections on nucleons bound in a nucleus. It occurs due to destructive interference of amplitudes…
