Is the 125 GeV Higgs the superpartner of a neutrino?

Francesco Riva, Carla Biggio, Alex Pomarol

Recent LHC searches have provided strong evidence for the Higgs, a boson whose gauge quantum numbers coincide with those of a SM fermion, the neutrino. This raises the mandatory qu…

On the flat transverse momentum dependence of the single-spin asymmetry in inclusive neutral pion production

S. M. Troshin, N. E. Tyurin

We discuss recent experimental results from RHIC where the flat transverse momentum dependence of a single-spin asymmetry has been found in inclusive production of neutral pions. T…

Lifting degeneracies in Higgs couplings using single top production in association with a Higgs boson

Marco Farina, Christophe Grojean, Fabio Maltoni +2

Current Higgs data show an ambiguity in the value of the Yukawa couplings to quarks and leptons. Not so much because of still large uncertainties in the measurements but as the res…

Limits on Anomalous Couplings of the Higgs to Electroweak Gauge Bosons from LEP and LHC

Eduard Masso, Veronica Sanz

In this paper we assume the Higgs is an elementary scalar, and study how new physics could affect its couplings to electroweak gauge bosons. Adding LHC data to LEP data provides ne…
