Searching for Heavy Neutral Leptons with Displaced Vertices at the LHC

Asmaa Abada, Nicolás Bernal, Marta Losada +1

Heavy Neutral Leptons are naturally present in many well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model. If their mass is of few dozens of GeVs, they can be long-lived and lead to even…

First results on the scalar WIMP-pion coupling, using the XENON1T experiment

E. Aprile, J. Aalbers, F. Agostini +128

We present first results on the scalar WIMP-pion coupling from 1 tyr of exposure with the XENON1T experiment. This interaction is generated when the WIMP couples to a virtu…

Discretization effects on renormalized gauge-field Green's functions, scale setting and gluon mass

Ph. Boucaud, F. De Soto, K. Raya +2

The gauge-field propagators computed from the lattice have been exhaustively used in the investigation of the low-momentum dynamics of QCD, in a judicious interplay with re…

Hadronic tau decays as New Physics probes in the LHC era

Vincenzo Cirigliano, Adam Falkowski, Martín González-Alonso +1

We analyze the sensitivity of hadronic tau decays to non-standard interactions within the model-independent framework of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). Both exc…

Exotic Tetraquark Mesons in Large- Limit: an Unexpected Great Surprise

Wolfgang Lucha, Dmitri Melikhov, Hagop Sazdjian

Two-ordinary-meson scattering in large- QCD implies consistency criteria for intermediate-tetraquark contributions. Their fulfilment at -leading order constrains the natu…

Closing the window on single leptoquark solutions to the -physics anomalies

Andrei Angelescu, Damir Bečirević, Darius A. Faroughy +1

We examine various scenarios in which the Standard Model is extended by a light leptoquark state to solve for one or both -physics anomalies, viz. $R_{D^{(\ast)}}^\mathrm{exp}>…

Compact Exotic Tetraquark Mesons in Large- QCD

Wolfgang Lucha, Dmitri Melikhov, Hagop Sazdjian

We embark on systematic explorations of the behaviour of tetraquark mesons (colour-singlet bound states of two quarks and two antiquarks) in the (idealized) limit of a large number…

The higgsino-singlino sector of the NMSSM: Combined constraints from dark matter and the LHC

Ulrich Ellwanger, Cyril Hugonie

A light singlino is a promising candidate for dark matter, and a light higgsino is natural in the parameter space of the NMSSM. We study the combined constraints on this scenario r…

Exploring Sensitivity to NMSSM Signatures with Low Missing Transverse Energy at the LHC

A. Titterton, U. Ellwanger, H. U. Flaecher +2

We examine scenarios in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM), where pair-produced squarks and gluinos decay via two cascades, each ending in a stable neutralin…
