Charged lepton flavor violation and the origin of neutrino masses

Thomas Hambye

The neutrino oscillations imply that charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) processes do exist. Even if the associated rates are in general expected very suppressed, it turns out t…

Multiphoton signatures of goldstini at the LHC

Gabriele Ferretti, Alberto Mariotti, Kentarou Mawatari +1

We study models of gauge mediated SUSY breaking with more than one hidden sector. In these models the neutralino sector of the MSSM is supplemented with additional light neutral fe…

Multilepton signals of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking at the LHC

Jorgen D'Hondt, Karen De Causmaecker, Benjamin Fuks +4

We investigate multilepton LHC signals arising from electroweak processes involving sleptons. We consider the framework of general gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking, focusing o…

Collider signatures of low scale supersymmetry breaking: A Snowmass 2013 White Paper

Emilian Dudas, Christoffer Petersson, Riccardo Torre

We consider the possibility that supersymmetry is broken at a low scale, within one order of magnitude above the TeV scale. In such a case, the degrees of freedom associated with t…

Scalar Dark Matter Models with Significant Internal Bremsstrahlung

Federica Giacchino, Laura Lopez-Honorez, Michel H. G. Tytgat

There has been interest recently on particle physics models that may give rise to sharp gamma ray spectral features from dark matter annihilation. Because dark matter is supposed t…

Cornering light Neutralino Dark Matter at the LHC

Lorenzo Calibbi, Jonas M. Lindert, Toshihiko Ota +1

We investigate the current status of the light neutralino dark matter scenario within the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) taking into account latest results from the L…

Dynamical generation of the weak and Dark Matter scale

Thomas Hambye, Alessandro Strumia

Assuming that naturalness should be modified by ignoring quadratic divergences, we propose a simple extension of the Standard Model where the weak scale is dynamically generated to…

Thermal and non-thermal production of dark matter via Z'-portal(s)

Xiaoyong Chu, Yann Mambrini, Jérémie Quevillon +1

We study the genesis of dark matter in the primordial Universe for representative classes of Z'-portals models. For weak-scale Z' mediators we compute the range of values of the ki…

Neutrino hierarchy and fermion spectrum from a single family in six dimensions: realistic predictions

J. -M. Frere, M. Libanov, S. Mollet +1

In this paper, we move from a "proof of concept" to challenging predictions in a flavour model emerging from a single fermion family in six dimensions (6-D) with the two extra dime…

Coloron Models and LHC Phenomenology

Elizabeth H. Simmons, Anupama Atre, R. Sekhar Chivukula +4

This talk discusses the possibility of new physics within the strong gauge interactions, specifically the idea of an extended color gauge group that is spontaneously broken to QCD.…

Gauge Mediation beyond Minimal Flavor Violation

Lorenzo Calibbi, Paride Paradisi, Robert Ziegler

We study a minimal modification of Gauge Mediation in which the messenger sector couples directly to the MSSM matter fields. These couplings are controlled by the same dynamics tha…

Effective Theory of Dark Matter Decay into Monochromatic Photons and its Implications: Constraints from Associated Cosmic-Ray Emission

Michael Gustafsson, Thomas Hambye, Tiziana Scarna

We show that there exists only a quite limited number of higher dimensional operators which can naturally lead to a slow decay of dark matter particles into monochromatic photons.…

Phenomenology of General Gauge Mediation in light of a 125 GeV Higgs

Phill Grajek, Alberto Mariotti, Diego Redigolo

We explore the phenomenology of the full General Gauge Mediation parameter space in the MSSM focusing on the consequences of having a fundamental Higgs around 125 GeV. Assuming GUT…
