The Diboson Excess: Experimental Situation and Classification of Explanations; A Les Houches Pre-Proceeding

Johann Brehmer, Gustaaf Brooijmans, Giacomo Cacciapaglia +21

We examine the `diboson' excess at $\sim 2$ TeV seen by the LHC experiments in various channels. We provide a comparison of the excess significances as a function of the mass of th…

Composite Higgs model at a conformal fixed point

R. C. Brower, A. Hasenfratz, C. Rebbi +2

We propose to construct a chirally broken model based on the infrared fixed point of a conformal system by raising the mass of some flavors while keeping the others massless. In th…

Evidence of sub-nucleonic degrees of freedom in J/ $ψ$ photoproduction in ultraperipheral collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider

E. Andrade-II, I. González, A. Deppman +1

We present calculations for the incoherent photoproduction of J/ $ψ$ vector mesons in ultra-peripheral heavy ion collisions (UPC) in terms of hadronic interactions. This study was c…

Holographic Approach to Deep Inelastic Scattering at Small-x at High Energy

Richard C. Brower, Marko Djurić, Timothy Raben +1

We focus on a holographic approach to DIS at small-x in high energy where scattering is dominated by exchanging a Reggeized Graviton in $A d S_{5}$ . We emphasize the importance of conf…

Heavy Vector Partners of the Light Composite Higgs

Kenneth Lane, Lukas Pritchett

If the Higgs boson $H (125)$ is a composite due to new strong interactions at high energy, it has spin-one partners, $ρ_{H}$ and $a_{H}$ , analogous to the $ρ$ and $a_{1}$ mesons of QCD. T…

Charged-Lepton Mixing and Lepton Flavor Violation

Diego Guadagnoli, Kenneth Lane

We present a model for calculating charged-lepton mixing matrices. These matrices are an essential ingredient for predicting lepton flavor-violating rates in the lepton number nonu…

Non-Abelian dark matter and dark radiation

Manuel A. Buen-Abad, Gustavo Marques-Tavares, Martin Schmaltz

We propose a new class of dark matter models with unusual phenomenology. What is ordinary about our models is that dark matter particles are WIMPs, they are weakly coupled to the S…

Direct Detection of Stealth Dark Matter through Electromagnetic Polarizability

Thomas Appelquist, Evan Berkowitz, Richard C. Brower +15

We calculate the spin-independent scattering cross section for direct detection that results from the electromagnetic polarizability of a composite scalar baryon dark matter candid…

Stealth Dark Matter: Dark scalar baryons through the Higgs portal

Thomas Appelquist, Richard C. Brower, Michael I. Buchoff +14

We present a new model of "Stealth Dark Matter": a composite baryonic scalar of an $S U (N_{D})$ strongly-coupled theory with even $N_{D} \geq 4$ . All mass scales are technically natural…
