A Left-Right Symmetric Model which utilizes VLFs to generate fermion masses via a universal see-saw mechanism is studied. In this talk, I will present the latest results of our analysis on the flavor observables constraining the model. Cabibbo anomaly can be easily resolved in this model, thereby predicting the mass of vector-like quarks. Further, I will discuss the possibility of explaining...

Beyond Standard Model Physics

talk

The discovery of a Higgs boson with mass near 125 GeV in 2012 marked one of the most important milestones in particle physics. The low mass of this Higgs boson with diverging loop corrections adds motivation to look for new physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). Several BSM theories introduced new heavy quark partners, called vector-like quarks (VLQ), with mass at the TeV scale. In...

210. Call for Abstracts Search for pair production of vector-like quarks in the Wb+X final state using the full Run 2 dataset of pp collisions at sqrt{s} = 13 TeV from the ATLAS detector

Beyond Standard Model Physics

talk

Vector-like quarks (VLQ) are predicted in many extensions to the Standard Model (SM), especially those aimed at solving the hierarchy problem. Their vector-like nature allows them to extend the SM while still being compatible with electroweak sector measurements. In many models, VLQs decay to a SM boson and to a third-generation quark. Pair production of VLQ provides a model-independent method...

A search for production of the supersymmetric partners of the top quark, top squarks, is presented. The search is based on proton-proton collision events containing multiple jets, no leptons, and large transverse momentum imbalance. The data were collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb-1. The...

Beyond Standard Model Physics

talk

With several recent anomalies observed that are in tension with the Standard Model, and with no clear roadmap to the source of new physics, this is an exciting time to explore for new particles at the LHC.   Supersymmetry (SUSY) is an elegant solution to many of the Standard Model mysteries, and SUSY models with electroweakly produced sparticles are particularly interesting as possible...

339. Single Vector-Like quark production via chromo-magnetic moment at the LHC

Xing Wang (UC San Diego)

12/07/2021, 15:30

Beyond Standard Model Physics

In many models that address the naturalness problem, top-quark partners are often postulated in order to cure the issue related to the quadratic corrections of the mass of the Higgs boson. In this work, we study alternative modes for the production of top- and bottom-quark partners ($T$ and $B$), $pp\to B$ and $pp\to T\overline{t}$, via a chromo-magnetic moment coupling. We adopt...

Beyond Standard Model Physics

talk

Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) is one of the most well-motivated and well-studied scenarios for going beyond the Standard Model (SM). Apart from solving the hierarchy problem, one of the primary motivations is the presence of a suitable dark matter (DM) candidate, namely the lightest neutralino, in the particle spectrum of SUSY. Measurement of DM relic density of the universe by...

Beyond Standard Model Physics

talk

The recently updated measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment strengthens the motivations for new particles beyond the Standard Model. We discuss two well-motivated 2HDM scenarios with vectorlike leptons as well as the Standard Model extended with vectorlike lepton doublets and singlets as possible explanations for the anomalous measurement. In these models we find that, with...

A search for supersymmetry involving the pair production of gluions decaying via stop quarks into the lightest neutralino ${\tilde{\chi }}_1^0$ is reported. It uses LHC $pp$ collision data at $\sqrt{s}=13TeV$ with an integrated luminosity of $139f{b}^{-1}$ collected with the ATLAS detector in 2015-2018. The search is performed in events containing large missing transverse momentum and...

Beyond Standard Model Physics

talk

We present a phenomenological investigation of color-octet
scalars (sgluons) in supersymmetric models with Dirac gaugino masses that feature an explicitly broken $R$ symmetry ($R$-broken models). We have constructed such models by augmenting minimal $R$-symmetric models with a set of supersymmetric and softly supersymmetry-breaking operators that explicitly break $R$ symmetry. We have found...

Beyond Standard Model Physics

talk

The Higgs boson could provide the key to discover new physics at the Large Hadron Collider. We investigate novel decays of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson into leptophobic gauge bosons which can be light in agreement with all experimental constraints. We study the associated production of the SM Higgs and the leptophobic gauge boson that could be crucial to test the existence of a...

Dr Corrado Gatto (INFN & NIU)

12/07/2021, 16:15

Beyond Standard Model Physics

talk

The $\eta$ and ${\eta }^{\prime }$ mesons are almost unique in the particle universe since they are Goldstone boson and the dynamics of their decay are strongly constrained. The integrated eta meson samples collected in earlier experiments have been about ~${10}^9$ events, dominated by the WASA at Cosy experiment, limiting considerably the search for such rare decays. A new experiment, REDTOP, is being...

Beyond Standard Model Physics

talk

The searches for permanent Electric Dipole Moments (EDMs) of elementary particles constitute one of the most powerful tools to probe physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). The existence of EDM can provide an explanation of the dominance of matter over antimatter in the universe which still is considered as one of the most puzzling questions in physics.

12/07/2021, 16:30

Beyond Standard Model Physics

talk

We explore the implications of supersymmetric grand unified theories about the muon anomalous magnetic moment (muon g-2). The discrepancy between the Standard Model (SM) prediction and the experiments in muon g-2 can be resolved by the contributions from the supersymmetric particles, and the fundamental parameter space of the muon g-2 resolution typically favors light sleptons (<~ 800 GeV),...

Beyond Standard Model Physics

talk

We explore the implications of $g_{\mu }-2$ new result to five models based on the $SU(3{)}_C\times SU(3{)}_L\times U(1{)}_N$ gauge symmetry and put our conclusions into perspective with LHC bounds. We show that previous conclusions found in the context of such models change if there are more than one heavy particle running in the loop. Moreover, having in mind the projected precision aimed by the $g_{\mu }-2$...

Clockwork models can explain the flavor hierarchies in the Standard Model quark and lepton spectrum. We construct supersymmetric versions of such flavor clockwork models. The zero modes of the clockwork are identified with the fermions and sfermions of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. In addition to generating a hierarchical fermion spectrum, ...

In a particle theory model whose most readily discovered new particle is the $\sim 1$TeV bilepton resonance in same-sign leptons, currently being sought at CERN's LHC, there exist three quarks $\mathcal{D}\mathcal{,}\mathcal{S}\mathcal{,}\mathcal{T}$ which will be bound by QCD into baryons and mesons. We consider the decays of these additional baryons and mesons whose detailed experimental study will be beyond the reach of the 14...

Beyond Standard Model Physics

talk

The REDTOP experiment aims at collecting more than ${10}^{13}$ $\eta$/yr and ${10}^{11}$ ${\eta }^{\prime }$/yr for studying rare meson decays.
Such large statistics provide the base for the investigation of several discrete symmetries, and the search for particles beyond the Standard Model.
The physics program and the ongoing sensitivity studies will be discussed during the presentation.

Beyond Standard Model Physics

talk

Though collider searches are constraining supersymmetric parameter space, generic model independent bounds on sneutrinos remain very low. We calculate new model independent lower bounds on general supersymmetric scenarios with sneutrino LSP and NLSPs. By recasting ATLAS LHC exotic searches in mono boson channels, we place an upper bound on the cross section on...

Beyond Standard Model Physics

talk

The Gamma Factory is a proposal to back-scatter laser photons off a beam of partially-stripped ions at the LHC, producing a beam of $\sim 10$ MeV to $1$ GeV photons with intensities of ${10}^{16}$ to ${10}^{18}{\text{s}}^{-1}$. This implies $\sim {10}^{23}$ to ${10}^{25}$ photons on target per year, many orders of magnitude greater than existing accelerator light sources and also far greater than all...

Beyond Standard Model Physics

talk

Recently, there has been great interest in beyond-the-Standard Model (BSM) physics involving new low-mass matter and mediator particles. One such model, $U(1{)}_{T3R}$, proposes a new U(1) gauge symmetry under which only right-handed fermions of the standard model are charged, as well as the addition of new vector-like fermions (e.g., ${\chi }_t$) and a new dark scalar particle ($\varphi$) whose...

366. $U(1{)}_{T3R}$ extension of Standard Model

Sumit Ghosh (Texas A & M University)

Beyond Standard Model Physics

talk

Scenarios in which right-handed light Standard Model fermions couple to a new gauge group, $U(1{)}_{T3R}$ can naturally generate a sub-GeV dark matter candidate. But such models necessarily have large couplings to the Standard Model, generally yielding tight experimental constraints. We show that the contributions to $g_{\mu }-2$ from the dark photon and dark Higgs largely cancel out in the narrow...

In this work we study the collider phenomenology of color-octet scalars (sgluons) in minimal supersymmetric models endowed with a global continuous R symmetry. We systematically catalog the significant decay channels of scalar and pseudoscalar sgluons and identify novel features that are natural in these models. These include decays in nonstandard diboson channels, such as to a gluon and a...

Beyond Standard Model Physics

talk

Naturalness suggests that the masses of the lightest electroweak gauginos (electroweakinos) are near the electroweak scale and, as a result, are within the scope of current LHC searches. However, LHC searches have not yet provided evidence of any supersymmetric (SUSY) particles. While exclusion limits for SUSY particles have been commonly reported assuming a simplified model where the...

Beyond Standard Model Physics

talk

In a well-motivated class of beyond the Standard Model scenarios, dark matter interacts mainly with neutrinos of the SM via a neutrinophilic mediator. This scenario can leave a striking signature in neutrino detectors -- the mono-neutrino signature. In this process, invisible particles (either dark matter or the mediators) can be radiated off neutrinos when they undergo charged-current weak...

Beyond Standard Model Physics

talk

A non-Abelian $SU(2{)}_X$ gauge extension of the Standard Model is considered under which leptons carry non-trivial charge. Gauge anomaly cancellation requires additional vectorlike fermions, which along with neutral vector bosons that play the role of Dark Matter correct the muon and the electron anomalous magnetic moments as preferred by experiments. When Collider bounds, electroweak precision...

Most searches for new physics at the Large Hadron Collider assume that a new particle produced in pp-collisions decays almost immediately or is non-interacting and escapes the detector. However, a variety of new physics models predict particles that decay inside the detector at a discernible distance from the interaction point. Such long-lived particles would create spectacular signatures that...

Many theories beyond the Standard Model predict new phenomena, such as $Z^{\prime }$ and vector-like quarks, in final states containing bottom- or top-quarks. It is challenging to reconstruct and identify the decay products and model the major backgrounds. Nevertheless, such final states offer great potential to reduce the Standard Model backgrounds due to their characteristic decay signature. The...

We present a search for a low mass dark photon below 1 MeV which is radiated from a muon in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. A low mass dark photon has no available decay channel to standard model particles, and is hence stable. We assume that a dark photon directly interacts with detector materials through bremsstrahlung, and its small kinetic mixing, in which...
