Warped Seesaw is Physically Inverted

Kaustubh Agashe, Sungwoo Hong, Luca Vecchi

Warped extra dimensions can address both the Planck-weak and flavor hierarchies of the Standard Model (SM). In this paper we discuss the SM neutrino mass generation in a scenario i…

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…

CP Violation Tests of Alignment Models at LHCII

Diptimoy Ghosh, Paride Paradisi, Gilad Perez +1

We analyse the low-energy phenomenology of alignment models both model-independently and within supersymmetric (SUSY) scenarios focusing on their CP violation tests at LHCII. Assum…

Prospects for detection of target-dependent annual modulation in direct dark matter searches

Eugenio Del Nobile, Graciela B. Gelmini, Samuel J. Witte

Earth's rotation about the Sun produces an annual modulation in the expected scattering rate at direct dark matter detection experiments. The annual modulation as a function of the…

Millicharge or Decay: A Critical Take on Minimal Dark Matter

Eugenio Del Nobile, Marco Nardecchia, Paolo Panci

Minimal Dark Matter (MDM) is a theoretical framework highly appreciated for its minimality and yet its predictivity. Of the two only viable candidates singled out in the original a…

Combination of Run-1 Exotic Searches in Diboson Final States at the LHC

Flavia Dias, Stefan Gadatsch, Maxime Gouzevich +5

We perform a statistical combination of the ATLAS and CMS results for the search of a heavy resonance decaying to a pair of vector bosons with the $s = 8$ TeV datasets collect…

The QUAX proposal: a search of galactic axion with magnetic materials

Giuseppe Ruoso, Augusto Lombardi, Antonello Ortolan +5

Aim of the QUAX (QUaerere AXion) proposal is to exploit the interaction of cosmological axions with the spin of electrons in a magnetized sample. Their effect is equivalent to the…

A View of Neutrino Studies with the Next Generation Facilities

Luca Stanco

Neutrino physics is nowadays receiving more and more attention as a possible source of information for the long--standing investigation of new physics beyond the Standard Model. Th…

Strong tW Scattering at the LHC

Jeff Asaf Dror, Marco Farina, Ennio Salvioni +1

Deviations of the top electroweak couplings from their Standard Model values imply that certain amplitudes for the scattering of third generation fermions and longitudinally polari…

Lepton Flavour Violation in Composite Higgs Models

Ferruccio Feruglio, Paride Paradisi, Andrea Pattori

We discuss in detail the constraints on partial compositeness coming from flavour and CP violation in the leptonic sector. In a first part we present a formulation of partial compo…

Sigma Decomposition: The CP-Odd Lagrangian

I. M. Hierro, L. Merlo, and S. Rigolin

In Alonso et al., JHEP 12 (2014) 034, the CP-even sector of the effective chiral Lagrangian for a generic composite Higgs model with a symmetric coset has been constructed, up to f…

Spin Polarisation of $t t ˉ γ γ$ production at NLO+PS with GoSam interfaced to MadGraph5_aMC@NLO

Hans van Deurzen, Rikkert Frederix, Valentin Hirschi +3

We present an interface between the multipurpose NLO Monte Carlo tool MadGraph5_aMC@NLO and the automated one-loop amplitude generator GoSam. As a first application of this novel f…

ATLAS diboson excess from low scale supersymmetry breaking

Christoffer Petersson, Riccardo Torre

We provide an interpretation of the recent ATLAS diboson excess in terms of a class of supersymmetric models in which the scale of supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking is in the few TeV r…

Flavour, Electroweak Symmetry Breaking and Dark Matter: state of the art and future prospects

Giulia Ricciardi, Alexandre Arbey, Enrico Bertuzzo +12

With the discovery of the Higgs boson the Standard Model has become a complete and comprehensive theory, which has been verified with unparalleled precision and in principle might…

A composite Heavy Vector Triplet in the ATLAS di-boson excess

Andrea Thamm, Riccardo Torre, Andrea Wulzer

Composite vector resonances in the triplet of the SM SU $(2)_{L}$ gauge group are a universal prediction of "natural" new physics models involving a new strongly-interacting sector…

Generalized $μ$ - $τ$ symmetry and discrete subgroups of O(3)

Anjan S. Joshipura, Ketan M. Patel

The generalized $μ$ - $τ$ interchange symmetry in the leptonic mixing matrix $U$ corresponds to the relations: $∣ U_{μ i} ∣ = ∣ U_{τ i} ∣$ with $i = 1, 2, 3$ . It predicts maximal atmospheric mix…

A realistic pattern of fermion masses from a five-dimensional SO(10) model

Ferruccio Feruglio, Ketan M. Patel, Denise Vicino

We provide a unified description of fermion masses and mixing angles in the framework of a supersymmetric grand unified SO(10) model with anarchic Yukawa couplings of order unity.…

Off-shell Currents and Color-Kinematics Duality

Pierpaolo Mastrolia, Amedeo Primo, Ulrich Schubert +1

We elaborate on the color-kinematics duality for off-shell diagrams in gauge theories coupled to matter, by investigating the scattering process $g g \to ss, q q ˉ, g g$ , and show t…
