The light stop window

Antonio Delgado, Gian F. Giudice, Gino Isidori +2

We show that a right-handed stop in the 200-400 GeV mass range, together with a nearly degenerate neutralino and, possibly, a gluino below 1.5 TeV, follows from reasonable assumpti…

Scalar Singlet Dark Matter

Geneviève Bélanger, Kristjan Kannike, Alexander Pukhov +1

We consider the minimal scalar singlet dark matter stabilised by a symmetry. Due to the cubic term in the scalar potential, semi-annihilations, besides annihilations, contrib…

High-energy behavior of hadronic total cross sections from lattice QCD

E. Meggiolaro, M. Giordano, N. Moretti

By means of a nonperturbative approach to soft high-energy hadron-hadron scattering, based on the analytic continuation of Wilson-loop correlation functions from Euclidean to Minko…

Axion-Higgs Unification

Michele Redi, Alessandro Strumia

In theories with no fundamental scalars, one gauge group can become strong at a large scale Lambda and spontaneously break a global symmetry, producing the Higgs and the axion as c…

Colorful boojums at the interface of a color superconductor

Mattia Cipriani, Walter Vinci, Muneto Nitta

We study junctions of vortices, or boojums, at the interface between color and hadronic superconducting/superfluid phases. This type of interface could be present in the interior o…

Is the resonance at 125 GeV the Higgs boson?

Pier Paolo Giardino, Kristjan Kannike, Martti Raidal +1

The recently discovered resonance at 125 GeV has properties remarkably close to those of the Standard Model Higgs boson. We perform model-independent fits of all presently availabl…

Higgs mass and vacuum stability in the Standard Model at NNLO

Giuseppe Degrassi, Stefano Di Vita, Joan Elias-Miró +4

We present the first complete next-to-next-to-leading order analysis of the Standard Model Higgs potential. We computed the two-loop QCD and Yukawa corrections to the relation betw…

Unificaxion

Gian F. Giudice, Riccardo Rattazzi, Alessandro Strumia

Dark matter, gauge coupling unification, and the strong CP problem find a common and simple solution (in the absence of naturalness) within axion models. We show that such solution…

Reconstructing Higgs boson properties from the LHC and Tevatron data

Pier Paolo Giardino, Kristjan Kannike, Martti Raidal +1

We perform a phenomenological fit to all ATLAS, CMS, CDF and D0 Higgs boson data available after Moriond 2012. We allow all Higgs boson branching fractions, its couplings to standa…

Asymptotic Energy Dependence of Hadronic Total Cross Sections from Lattice QCD

Matteo Giordano, Enrico Meggiolaro, Niccolò Moretti

The nonperturbative approach to soft high-energy hadron-hadron scattering, based on the analytic continuation of Wilson-loop correlation functions from Euclidean to Minkowskian the…

Impact of semi-annihilations on dark matter phenomenology - an example of Z_N symmetric scalar dark matter

G. Bélanger, K. Kannike, A. Pukhov +1

We study the impact of semi-annihilations x_i x_j <-> x_k X, where x_i is any dark matter and X is any standard model particle, on dark matter phenomenology. We formulate minimal s…
