Complex Singlet Extension of the Standard Model
Vernon Barger, Paul Langacker, Mathew McCaskey +2
We analyze a simple extension of the Standard Model (SM) obtained by adding a complex singlet to the scalar sector (cxSM). We show that the cxSM can contain one or two viable cold…
DUSEL Theory White Paper
S. Raby, T. Walker, K. S. Babu +28
The NSF has chosen the site for the Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL) to be in Lead, South Dakota. In fact, the state of South Dakota has already stepped…
SUSY backgrounds to Standard Model calibration processes at the LHC
Howard Baer, Vernon Barger, Gabe Shaughnessy
One of the first orders of business for LHC experiments after beam turn-on will be to calibrate the detectors using well understood Standard Model (SM) processes such as W and Z pr…
Spin Dependence of Dark Matter Scattering
Vernon Barger, Wai-Yee Keung, Gabe Shaughnessy
New experiments designed to discover a weakly interacting dark matter (DM) particle via spin dependent scattering can distinguish models of electroweak symmetry breaking. The plane…
Neutrino sector impacts SUSY dark matter
Vernon Barger, Danny Marfatia, Azar Mustafayev
Motivated by the fact that neutrinos are massive, we study the effect of neutrino Yukawa couplings on neutralino dark matter observables within the framework of a supersymmetric se…
Unparticle physics with broken scale invariance
Vernon Barger, Yu Gao, Wai-Yee Keung +2
If scale invariance is exact, unparticles are unlikely to be probed in colliders since there are stringent constraints from astrophysics and cosmology. However these constraints ar…
