Particle Dark Matter Constraints: the Effect of Galactic Uncertainties

Maria Benito, Nicolas Bernal, Nassim Bozorgnia +2

Collider, space, and Earth based experiments are now able to probe several extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics which provide viable dark matter candidates. Direct…

Sharpening the shape analysis for higher-dimensional operator searches

Sylvain Fichet, Patricia Rebello Teles, Alberto Tonero

When the Standard Model is interpreted as the renormalizable sector of a low-energy effective theory, the effects of new physics are encoded into a set of higher dimensional operat…

Shining Light on Polarizable Dark Particles

Sylvain Fichet

We investigate the possibilities of searching for a self-conjugate polarizable particle in the self-interactions of light. We first observe that polarizability can arise either fro…

The correlation matrix of Higgs rates at the LHC

Alexandre Arbey, Sylvain Fichet, Farvah Mahmoudi +1

The imperfect knowledge of the Higgs boson decay rates and cross sections at the LHC constitutes a critical systematic uncertainty in the study of the Higgs boson properties. We sh…

Sharing but not Caring: Dark Matter and the Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe

Nicolás Bernal, Chee Sheng Fong, Nayara Fonseca

We consider scenarios where Dark Matter (DM) particles carry baryon and/or lepton numbers, which can be defined if there exist operators connecting the dark to the visible sector.…

Taming systematic uncertainties at the LHC with the central limit theorem

Sylvain Fichet

We study the simplifications occurring in any likelihood function in the presence of a large number of small systematic uncertainties. We find that the marginalisation of these unc…
