Higgs mass implications on the stability of the electroweak vacuum

Joan Elias-Miro, Jose R. Espinosa, Gian F. Giudice +3

We update instability and metastability bounds of the Standard Model electroweak vacuum in view of the recent ATLAS and CMS Higgs results. For a Higgs mass in the range 124--126 Ge…

Finite Modular Groups and Lepton Mixing

Reinier de Adelhart Toorop, Ferruccio Feruglio, Claudia Hagedorn

We study lepton mixing patterns which are derived from finite modular groups Gamma_N, requiring subgroups G_nu and G_e to be preserved in the neutrino and charged lepton sectors, r…

First Double-Chooz Results and the Reactor Antineutrino Anomaly

Carlo Giunti, Marco Laveder

We investigate the possible effects of short-baseline antinu_e disappearance implied by the reactor antineutrino anomaly on the Double-Chooz determination of theta_{13} through the…

Implications of 3+1 Short-Baseline Neutrino Oscillations

Carlo Giunti, Marco Laveder

We present an upgrade of the 3+1 global fit of short-baseline neutrino oscillation data obtained with the addition of KARMEN and LSND nu_e-Carbon scattering data. We discuss the im…

Tachyonic Majorana neutrinos or neutrino spin-to-orbital angular momentum conversion in OPERA

M. Laveder, F. Tamburini

The new data release of OPERA - CNGS experiment, obtained with a shorter spill of protons, confirms the tachyionic behavior expected from the phenomenological model of a Majorana n…

Flavour and Collider Interplay for SUSY at LHC7

L. Calibbi, R. N. Hodgkinson, J. Jones-Perez +2

The current 7 TeV run of the LHC experiment shall be able to probe gluino and squark masses up to values larger than 1 TeV. Assuming that hints for SUSY are found in the jets plus…

General Lepton Mixing in Holographic Composite Higgs Models

Claudia Hagedorn, Marco Serone

We introduce a scenario of lepton mixing in holographic composite Higgs models based on non-abelian discrete symmetries of the form G_f=X x Z_N, broken to Z_2 x Z_2 x Z_N in the el…

Charge symmetry violation: a NNLO study of partonic observables

Marco Traini

Charge and isospin symmetry violations to valence and sea distribution functions in the nucleon are evaluated (at low resolution scale) by means of a meson cloud model and light-co…

Status of 3+1 Neutrino Mixing

Carlo Giunti, Marco Laveder

We present an update of our analysis of short-baseline neutrino oscillation data in the framework of 3+1 neutrino mixing taking into account the recent update of MiniBooNE antineut…

Observations on the radiative corrections to pion beta-decay

M. Passera, K. Philippides, A. Sirlin

We find that, in the local V-A theory, the radiative corrections to pion beta-decay involving the weak vector current, when evaluated in the current algebra (CA) formulation in whi…

Discrete Flavour Symmetries in Light of T2K

Reinier de Adelhart Toorop, Ferruccio Feruglio, Claudia Hagedorn

We show that a non-vanishing angle theta_13 of order 0.1 can be predicted in the framework of discrete flavour symmetries. We assume that left-handed leptons transform as triplets…

Flavour violation in a supersymmetric T' model

Luca Merlo, Stefano Rigolin, Bryan Zaldívar

We describe the phenomenology of the flavour changing neutral current sector of a supersymmetric model, invariant under the T' discrete flavour group. This model has been proposed…

Initial State Radiation in Majorana Dark Matter Annihilations

Paolo Ciafaloni, Marco Cirelli, Denis Comelli +3

The cross section for a Majorana Dark Matter particle annihilating into light fermions is helicity suppressed. We show that, if the Dark Matter is the neutral Majorana component of…

Magnetic Fields at First Order Phase Transition: A Threat to Electroweak Baryogenesis

Andrea De Simone, Germano Nardini, Mariano Quiros +1

The generation of the observed baryon asymmetry may have taken place during the electroweak phase transition, thus involving physics testable at LHC, a scenario dubbed electroweak…

Implementation of the type III seesaw model in FeynRules/MadGraph and prospects for discovery with early LHC data

Carla Biggio, Florian Bonnet

We discuss the implementation of the "minimal" type III seesaw model, i.e. with one fermionic triplet, in FeynRules/MadGraph. This is the first step in order to realize a real stud…

Leptons in Holographic Composite Higgs Models with Non-Abelian Discrete Symmetries

Claudia Hagedorn, Marco Serone

We study leptons in holographic composite Higgs models, namely in models possibly admitting a weakly coupled description in terms of five-dimensional (5D) theories. We introduce tw…
