Catalog of electroweak scalar manifolds
Juan Carlos Criado
The local structure of the Higgs sector around the vacuum does not uniquely determine its global properties. Most of the current experimental data provides only local information,…
Potential Blind Directions at TeraZ
Mikael Chala, Juan Carlos Criado, Michael Spannowsky
The next generation of high-luminosity electron-positron colliders, such as FCC-ee and CEPC operating at the pole (TeraZ), is expected to deliver unprecedented precision in ele…
A complete effective field theory for dark matter
Juan Carlos Criado, Abdelhak Djouadi, Manuel Perez-Victoria +1
We present an effective field theory describing the relevant interactions of the Standard Model with an electrically neutral particle that can account for the dark matter in the Un…
Vector-like quarks with non-renormalizable interactions
Juan Carlos Criado, Manuel Perez-Victoria
We study the impact of the leading non-renormalizable terms in the effective field theory that describes general extensions of the Standard Model with vector-like quarks. Dropping…
Higher-order corrections to phase-transition parameters in dimensional reduction
Mikael Chala, Juan Carlos Criado, Luis Gil +1
The dynamics of phase transitions (PT) in quantum field theories at finite temperature is most accurately described within the framework of dimensional reduction. In this framework…
Walls, bubbles and doom -- the cosmology of HEFT
Rodrigo Alonso, Juan Carlos Criado, Rachel Houtz +1
As experiment charts new territory at the electroweak scale, the enterprise to characterise all possible theories becomes all the more necessary. In the absence of new particles, t…
