HiggsTools for LHC Run 3 and Beyond
Henning Bahl, Thomas Biekötter, Sven Heinemeyer +2
HiggsTools, including the subpackages HiggsPredictions, HiggsBounds, and HiggsSignals, is a toolbox for Beyond-the-SM (BSM) scalar phenomenology at the LHC. It provides BSM model p…
Towards a Unified Framework for Pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone Dark Matter and Electroweak Baryogenesis
Thomas Biekötter, Pedro Gabriel, Milada Margarete Mühlleitner +1
We propose the complex singlet-extended 2-Higgs-Doublet Model (cS2HDM), a spin-0 Dark Matter (DM) model with a Higgs sector consisting of two Higgs doublets and a complex singlet,…
evortran: a modern Fortran package for genetic algorithms with applications from LHC data fitting to LISA signal reconstruction
Thomas Biekötter
evortran is a modern Fortran library designed for high-performance genetic algorithms and evolutionary optimization. evortran can be used to tackle a wide range of problems in high…
Benchmarking a fading window: electroweak baryogenesis in the C2HDM, LHC constraints after Run 2 and prospects for LISA
Thomas Biekötter, MarÃa Olalla Olea-Romacho
The origin of the baryon asymmetry of the universe remains one of the most pressing open questions in particle physics and cosmology. Electroweak baryogenesis offers an experimenta…
Top-quark spin correlations as a tool to distinguish pseudoscalar and scalar signatures in final states at the LHC
Francisco Arco, Thomas Biekötter, Panagiotis Stylianou +1
Both ATLAS and CMS have recently performed the first searches for a heavy new spin-0 resonance decaying into a lighter new spin-0 resonance and a boson, where the lighter spin-…
ALP-ine quests at the LHC: hunting axion-like particles via peaks and dips in production
Afiq Anuar, Anke Biekötter, Thomas Biekötter +5
We present an analysis of the sensitivity of current and future LHC searches for new spin-0 particles in top-anti-top-quark () final states, focusing on generic axion-lik…
