Strongly First Order Phase Transitions Near an Enhanced Discrete Symmetry Point
Vernon Barger, Daniel J. H. Chung, Andrew J. Long +1
We propose a group theoretic condition which may be applied to extensions of the Standard Model in order to locate regions of parameter space in which the electroweak phase transit…
Exploring the Higgs Portal with 10/fb at the LHC
Brian Batell, Stefania Gori, Lian-Tao Wang
We consider the impact of new exotic colored and/or charged matter interacting through the Higgs portal on Standard Model Higgs boson searches at the LHC. Such Higgs portal couplin…
Mitigating Moduli Messes in Low-Scale SUSY Breaking
JiJi Fan, Matthew Reece, Lian-Tao Wang
We discuss the physics of moduli (light scalar fields with Planck-suppressed couplings to matter) in the case of low-scale supersymmetry breaking such as gauge mediation. We argue…
A Polarized View of the Top Asymmetry
David Krohn, Tao Liu, Jessie Shelton +1
Recent experimental results from the CDF collaboration which study the top forward-backward asymmetry have strengthened the case that new physics is playing a role in t-tbar produc…
W plus two jets from a quasi-inert Higgs doublet
Qing-Hong Cao, Marcela Carena, Stefania Gori +4
We show that, the result recently reported by the CDF collaboration showing an excess in the invariant mass distribution of jet pairs produced in association with a W-boson can be…
Probing the Cosmological Constant and Phase Transitions with Dark Matter
Daniel J. H. Chung, Andrew J. Long, Lian-Tao Wang
The Standard Model and its extensions predict multiple phase transitions in the early universe. In addition to the electroweak phase transition, one or several of these could occur…
Heavy Squarks at the LHC
JiJi Fan, David Krohn, Pablo Mosteiro +2
The LHC, with its seven-fold increase in energy over the Tevatron, is capable of probing regions of SUSY parameter space exhibiting qualitatively new collider phenomenology. Here w…
Top Channel for Early SUSY Discovery at the LHC
Gordon L. Kane, Eric Kuflik, Ran Lu +1
In recent years many models of supersymmetry have implied a large production rate for events including a high multiplicity of third generation quarks, such as four top quarks. It i…
On the Feasibility and Utility of ISR Tagging
David Krohn, Lisa Randall, Lian-Tao Wang
The production of new particles at a hadron collider like the LHC is always accompanied by QCD radiation attributable to the initial state (i.e. ISR). This tends to complicate anal…
