Exclusion limits on a scalar decaying to photons and distinguishing its production mechanisms

Tanumoy Mandal

LHC run-II has a great potential to search for new resonances in the diphoton channel. Latest 13 TeV data already put stringent limits on the cross sections in the diphoton channel…

Prompt atmospheric neutrino flux from the various QCD models

Yu Seon Jeong, Atri Bhattacharya, Rikard Enberg +4

We evaluate the prompt atmospheric neutrino flux using the different QCD models for heavy quark production including the quark contribution. We include the nuclear correction a…

The branching ratio revisited

C. Hanhart, S. Holz, B. Kubis +3

We analyze the most recent data for the pion vector form factor in the timelike region, employing a model-independent approach based on dispersion theory. We confirm earlier observ…

Effect of temperature and magnetic field on two-flavor superconducting quark matter

Tanumoy Mandal, Prashanth Jaikumar

We investigate the effect of turning on temperature for the charge neutral phase of two-flavor color superconducting (2SC) dense quark matter in presence of constant external magne…

Prompt atmospheric neutrino fluxes: perturbative QCD models and nuclear effects

Atri Bhattacharya, Rikard Enberg, Yu Seon Jeong +4

We evaluate the prompt atmospheric neutrino flux at high energies using three different frameworks for calculating the heavy quark production cross section in QCD: NLO perturbative…

Phenomenological signatures of additional scalar bosons at the LHC

Stefan von Buddenbrock, Nabarun Chakrabarty, Alan S. Cornell +7

We investigate the search prospects for new scalars beyond the Standard Model (SM) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In these studies two real scalars and have been intro…

The 750 GeV excess from photon-photon and quark-quark processes

Tanumoy Mandal, Ulf Danielsson, Rikard Enberg +1

The observed excess in the diphoton mass spectrum around 750 GeV at the 13 TeV LHC possibly indicates the presence of a photonphilic resonance. We show that the excess can be expla…

Constraining minimal anomaly free extensions of the Standard Model

Andreas Ekstedt, Rikard Enberg, Gunnar Ingelman +2

We consider a class of minimal anomaly free extensions of the Standard Model with three generations of right-handed neutrinos and a complex scalar. Using electrowea…

Electroweak production of light scalar-pseudoscalar pairs from extended Higgs sectors

Rikard Enberg, William Klemm, Stefano Moretti +1

In models with extended Higgs sectors, it is possible that the Higgs boson discovered at the LHC is not the lightest one. We show that in a realistic model (the Type I 2-Higgs Doub…

Contributions of loops with dynamical vector mesons to masses and decay constants of pseudoscalar mesons and their quark mass dependence

Carla Terschlüsen, Stefan Leupold

The contributions of one-loop diagrams with dynamical vector mesons to masses and decay constants of pseudoscalar mesons are determined. Hereby, a relativistic Lagrangian for both…

The impact of additional scalar bosons at the LHC

Mukesh Kumar, Stefan von Buddenbrock, Nabarun Chakrabarty +6

In this study we consider an effective model by introducing two hypothetical real scalars, and - a dark matter candidate, where the masses of these scalars are $2 m_h < m_H…

Renormalisation of the low-energy constants of chiral perturbation theory from loops with dynamical vector mesons

Carla Terschlüsen, Stefan Leupold

Starting from a relativistic Lagrangian for pseudoscalar Goldstone bosons and vector mesons in the antisymmetric tensor representation, a one-loop calculation is performed to pin d…

The 750 GeV diphoton excess in unified models from noncommutative geometry

Ufuk Aydemir, Djordje Minic, Chen Sun +1

We discuss a possible interpretation of the GeV diphoton resonance, recently reported at the LHC, within a class of models with gauge coup…

Probing Compositeness with the CMS & Data

Tanumoy Mandal, Subhadip Mitra, Satyajit Seth

Quark-lepton compositeness is a well-known beyond the Standard Model (SM) scenario with heavy exotic particles like leptoquarks (LQs) and leptogluons (LGs) etc. These particles can…

The Vector-like Twin Higgs

Nathaniel Craig, Simon Knapen, Pietro Longhi +1

We present a version of the twin Higgs mechanism with vector-like top partners. In this setup all gauge anomalies automatically cancel, even without twin leptons. The matter conten…

LHC probes of TeV-scale scalars in grand unification

Ufuk Aydemir, Tanumoy Mandal

We investigate the possibility of TeV-scale scalars as low energy remnants arising in the non-supersymmetric grand unification framework where the field content i…

Improved limits on dark matter annihilation in the Sun with the 79-string IceCube detector and implications for supersymmetry

IceCube Collaboration, M. G. Aartsen, K. Abraham +315

We present an improved event-level likelihood formalism for including neutrino telescope data in global fits to new physics. We derive limits on spin-dependent dark matter-proton s…

Heavy photophilic scalar at the LHC from a varying electromagnetic coupling

Ulf Danielsson, Rikard Enberg, Gunnar Ingelman +1

We investigate the phenomenology of a heavy scalar of the type involved in Bekenstein's framework for varying electromagnetic coupling theories, with the difference that the sc…
