LHC Forward Physics
K. Akiba, M. Akbiyik, M. Albrow +184
The goal of this report is to give a comprehensive overview of the rich field of forward physics, with a special attention to the topics that can be studied at the LHC. The report…
Sharpening the shape analysis for higher-dimensional operator searches
Sylvain Fichet, Patricia Rebello Teles, Alberto Tonero
When the Standard Model is interpreted as the renormalizable sector of a low-energy effective theory, the effects of new physics are encoded into a set of higher dimensional operat…
Accidental permutation symmetries as a test for Grand Unification: the supersymmetric case
Sylvain Fichet, Björn Herrmann
Unification of matter fields implies the existence of accidental permutation symmetries, which potentially remain immune to large quantum corrections up to the TeV scale. We invest…
Shining Light on Polarizable Dark Particles
Sylvain Fichet
We investigate the possibilities of searching for a self-conjugate polarizable particle in the self-interactions of light. We first observe that polarizability can arise either fro…
The Global Higgs as a Signal for Compositeness at the LHC
Sylvain Fichet, Gero von Gersdorff, Eduardo Ponton +1
The radial excitation of the global symmetry-breaking vacuum in composite Higgs models, called the "global Higgs", has been recently a focus of investigation. In this paper we stud…
The Excitation of the Global Symmetry-Breaking Vacuum in Composite Higgs Models
Sylvain Fichet, Gero von Gersdorff, Eduardo Ponton +1
We consider scenarios of Higgs compositeness where the Higgs doublet arises as a pseudo-Nambu Goldstone boson. Our focus is the physical scalar ("radial") excitation associated wit…
