An anomaly-free baryonic completion of the Standard Model

Karim Benakli, Mark Goodsell, Arno Goudeau

We construct an explicit anomaly-free completion of a gauged baryon-number symmetry. The new gauge factor is \(U(1)_{\tilde B}\): when restricted to the Standard Model fields its c…

Calling the Brane Next Door: The Kaluza-Klein Tower as a Gravitational Information Channel

Karim Benakli

Could two worlds localised on neighbouring branes communicate through gravity alone? We investigate this question in a minimal higher-dimensional framework in which Standard Model…

(Pseudo-)Dirac Gravitinos

Karim Benakli, Arno Goudeau

We discuss low-energy effective theories with a Dirac gravitino. Our main benchmark is Scherk--Schwarz supersymmetry breaking with anti-periodic boundary conditions for fermions on…

Effective Equations of Motion for Massive Higher Spins with Generic Gyromagnetic Ratio

Karim Benakli

We construct consistent effective equations of motion for massive charged particles of spin 2 and spin interacting with constant electromagnetic backgrounds. While tree-level…

SUSY at the FPF

Luis A. Anchordoqui, Ignatios Antoniadis, Karim Benakli +2

Experimental searches for supersymmetry (SUSY) are entering a new era. The failure to observe signals of sparticle production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has eroded the cent…

Anomalous extension of the Standard Model

Pascal Anastasopoulos, Ignatios Antoniadis, Karim Benakli +1

We present a set of example models in which the Standard Model (SM) symmetry group is extended by a new abelian symmetry. This additional symmetry appears anomalous in the effectiv…
