4. New physics in the third generation. A comprehensive SMEFT analysis and future prospects

Ben Stefanek, Ben Stefanek

26/06/2024, 16:15

We present a comprehensive analysis of electroweak, flavor, and collider bounds on the complete set of dimension-six SMEFT operators in the U(2)5-symmetric limit. This operator basis provides a consistent framework to describe a wide class of new physics models and, in particular, the motivated class of models where the new degrees of freedom couple mostly to the third generation. By analyzing...

5. A 95 GeV Higgs Boson within a 2-Higgs Doublet Model

This talk will focus on the explanation and implications of the excesses around 95 GeV in the di-photon and di-tau invariant mass distributions recently reported by the CMS collaboration at the LHC, together with the long-standing discrepancy observed at the Large Electron-Positron (LEP) collider in the b-bbar final state. The latest ATLAS results in the di-photon final state similarly reveal...

6. Developing the Reconstruction of a Magnetised Gaseous Argon TPC for the DUNE Near Detector

Francisco Martinez Lopez (Queen Mary University of London (GB))

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation neutrino experiment that will consist of a near detector (ND) complex placed at Fermilab, several hundred meters downstream of the neutrino production point, and a larger far detector (FD) to be built in the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF), approximately 1300 km away. DUNE will record neutrino interactions from...
