An overview will be given of the high-pT-physics highlights from the Run I of the LHC. ATLAS and CMS have an extensive physics program of high-precision measurement and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. The talk will cover Higgs boson, electroweak physics and top quark physics, as well as searches for hints of new phenomena that attempt to address the open questions we are...

I will address implications of large lepton-quark-leptoquark couplings for direct leptoquark searches at Large Hadron Collider. It will be shown that flavour physics constraints allow for sizeable couplings of leptoquarks to the Standard Model fermions if these interact exclusively with charged leptons and quarks of the same generation. The leptoquark production mechanisms at LHC will be...

We study the collider signatures of a long-lived massive colored scalar transforming trivially under the weak interaction and decaying within the inner sections of a detector such as ATLAS or CMS. In our study, we assume that the colored scalar couples at tree-level to a top quark and a stable fermion, possibly arising from a dark sector or from supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model....

I describe the way in which the mechanism responsible for the origin of neutrino masses may manifest itself as striking Lepton Number Violating decays of the Higgs. Majorana neutrinos in the tenths of GeV mass range, together with currently allowed nonstandard Higgs couplings leave ample space for this possibility, which can probe a scale of neutrino mass generation as high as ~20 TeV.

In this talk I will briefly review the present status and motivations for an accurate measurement of the top quark mass. In particular I will outline future strategies and possible outcomes for a global combination of top quark masses measurement at hadron colliders. I will discuss the role that new types of measurement can play to clarify the issues of present precision top quark...

At the LHC, New Physics could be better parametrised with form factors than with contact interactions, if the New Physics scale is similar to the LHC energy. As a toy example, I consider the process pp -> l+l- , fit the high-energy tail to a function, and show that the resulting limits can be analytically translated to a wide variety of models (no event simulation required).
