The Seiberg-Witten Axion
Csaba Csáki, Rotem Ovadia, Maximilian Ruhdorfer +2
We present a fully calculable UV complete toy model of a Peccei-Quinn (PQ) axion coupled to magnetic monopoles as well as electric charges. The theory has manifest electric-magneti…
The Constructive Method for Massive Particles in QED
Hsing-Yi Lai, Da Liu, John Terning
The constructive method of determining amplitudes from on-shell pole structure has been shown to be promising for calculating amplitudes in a more efficient way. However, challenge…
Collider Phenomenology of a Gluino Continuum
Christina Gao, Ali Shayegan Shirazi, John Terning
Continuum supersymmetry is a class of models in which the supersymmetric partners together with part of the standard model come from a conformal sector, broken in the IR near the T…
Quantum Critical Higgs: From AdS to Colliders
Ali Shayegan Shirazi, John Terning
We examine distinctive signatures of Quantum Critical Higgs models at the LHC and future higher energy colliders. In these models the Higgs boson is part of a conformal sector that…
Detecting Dark Matter with Aharonov-Bohm
John Terning, Christopher B. Verhaaren
While the evidence for dark matter continues to grow, the nature of the dark matter remains a mystery. A dark gauge theory can have a small kinetic mixing with the visible…
Composite Twin Dark Matter
John Terning, Christopher B. Verhaaren, Kyle Zora
We consider Fraternal Twin Higgs models where the twin bottom quark, , is much heavier than the twin confinement scale. In this limit aspects of quark bound states, like the ma…
The Light Radion Window
Fayez Abu-Ajamieh, Jun Seok Lee, John Terning
Inspired by the Contino-Pomarol-Rattazzi mechanism we explore scenarios with a very light (100 keV to 10 GeV) radion which could be associated with the suppression of the electrowe…
Little Conformal Symmetry
Rachel Houtz, Kitran Colwell, John Terning
We explore a new class of natural models which ensure the one-loop divergences in the Higgs mass are cancelled. The top-partners that cancel the top loop are new gauge bosons, and…
Gluon vs. Photon Production of a 750 GeV Diphoton Resonance
Csaba Csaki, Jay Hubisz, Salvator Lombardo +1
The production mechanism of a 750 GeV diphoton resonance, either via gluon or photon fusion, can be probed by studying kinematic observables in the diphoton events. We perform a de…
The Minimal Model of a Diphoton Resonance: Production without Gluon Couplings
Csaba Csaki, Jay Hubisz, John Terning
We consider the phenomenology of a resonance that couples to photons but not gluons, and estimate its production rate at the LHC from photon-photon fusion in elastic pp scattering…
Alternatives to an Elementary Higgs
Csaba Csaki, Christophe Grojean, John Terning
We review strongly coupled and extra dimensional models of electroweak symmetry breaking. Models examined include warped extra dimensions, bulk Higgs, "little" Higgs, dilaton Higgs…
A Light Stop with a Heavy Gluino: Enlarging the Stop Gap
Kevin F. Cleary, John Terning
It is widely thought that increasing bounds on the gluino mass, which feeds down to the stop mass through renormalization group running, are making a light stop increasingly unlike…
The Quantum Critical Higgs
Brando Bellazzini, Csaba Csáki, Jay Hubisz +3
The appearance of the light Higgs boson at the LHC is difficult to explain, particularly in light of naturalness arguments in quantum field theory. However light scalars can appear…
A Higgslike Dilaton
Brando Bellazzini, Csaba Csáki, Jay Hubisz +2
We examine the possibility that the recently discovered 125 GeV higgs like resonance actually corresponds to a dilaton: the Goldstone boson of scale invariance spontaneously broken…
Composite Higgs Sketch
Brando Bellazzini, Csaba Csáki, Jay Hubisz +2
The coupling of a composite Higgs to the standard model fields can deviate substantially from the standard model values. In this case perturbative unitarity might break down before…
Constraining the Unhiggs with LHC data
Christoph Englert, Dorival Goncalves, Michael Spannowsky +1
Recent measurements by the ATLAS and CMS experiments have excluded the Standard Model Higgs boson in the high mass region, even if it is produced with a significantly smaller cross…
Unconstraining the Unhiggs
Christoph Englert, Michael Spannowsky, David Stancato +1
We investigate whether or not perturbative unitarity is preserved in the Unhiggs model for the scattering process of heavy quarks and longitudinal gauge bosons $\bar q q \to V_L^+…
Light Stops from Seiberg Duality
Csaba Csaki, Lisa Randall, John Terning
If low-energy supersymmetry is realized in nature, a seemingly contrived hierarchy in the squark mass spectrum appears to be required. We show that composite supersymmetric theorie…
SUSY Hidden in the Continuum
Haiying Cai, Hsin-Chia Cheng, Anibal D. Medina +1
We study models where the superpartners of the ordinary particles have continuous spectra rather than being discrete states, which can occur when the supersymmetric standard model…
A Seiberg Dual for the MSSM: Partially Composite W and Z
Csaba Csaki, Yuri Shirman, John Terning
We examine the possibility that the SU(2) gauge group of the standard model appears as the dual "magnetic" gauge group of a supersymmetric gauge theory, thus the W and Z (and throu…
Continuum Superpartners
Hsin-Chia Cheng
In an exact conformal theory there is no particle. The excitations have continuum spectra and are called "unparticles" by Georgi. We consider supersymmetric extensions of the Stand…
Electroweak Symmetry Breaking From Monopole Condensation
Csaba Csaki, Yuri Shirman, John Terning
We examine models where massless chiral fermions with both "electric" and "magnetic" hypercharges could form condensates. When some of the fermions are also electroweak doublets su…
Constraints on the Unhiggs Model from Top Quark Decay
David Stancato, John Terning
We compute the top quark decay rate in the Unhiggs model. In this model, the longitudinally polarized W's are unparticles, owing to their Goldstone boson nature, while the transver…
Continuum Superpartners from Supersymmetric Unparticles
Haiying Cai, Hsin-Chia Cheng, Anibal D. Medina +1
We examine supersymmetric theories with approximately conformal sectors. Without an IR cutoff the theory has a continuum of modes, which are often referred to as "unparticles." Mak…
