LHC vector resonance searches in the final state
Mihailo Backović, Thomas Flacke, Bithika Jain +1
LHC searches for BSM resonances in and final states have so far not resulted in discovery of new physics. Current results set lower limits on…
A comprehensive approach to dark matter studies: exploration of simplified top-philic models
Chiara Arina, Mihailo Backović, Eric Conte +10
Studies of dark matter lie at the interface of collider physics, astrophysics and cosmology. Constraining models featuring dark matter candidates entails the capability to provide…
Cornering diphoton resonance models at the LHC
Mihailo Backović, Suchita Kulkarni, Alberto Mariotti +2
We explore the ability of the high luminosity LHC to test models which can explain the 750 GeV diphoton excess. We focus on a wide class of models where a 750 GeV singlet scalar co…
A Theory of Ambulance Chasing
Mihailo Backović
Ambulance chasing is a common socio-scientific phenomenon in particle physics. I argue that despite the seeming complexity, it is possible to gain insight into both the qualitative…
