With the recent discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider, the goals of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Experiment are now focused on probing for new physics beyond the standard model. The final state consisting of a low transverse energy photon and low missing transverse energy (MET), also called the “monophoton” final state, can be used to constrain a variety of extensions of...

In light of the stringent bounds on the BSM new states from the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) searches, we explore the situation where the only accessible new states at the electroweak scale consist of a pair of non-colored and electroweak particles, which are degenerate at the tree level and split only by electroweak symmetry breaking at the loop level. To be specific, we consider an...

In a recently proposed model of quark and lepton masses and mixing angles, all flavor mixing arises from the mixing of the Standard Model families with extra vectorlike fermions and ends up being controlled by a single 3x3 "master matrix". The model is therefore highly predictive. The model contains singlet scalars that mediate FCNC processes. It is shown that the resulting pattern of FCNC is...

This talk reports on two recent searches in final states with an electron/muon pair carried out with the CMS detector at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at a center of mass energy of 8 TeV with an integrated luminosity of 19.7/fb. The first search addresses the possibility of lepton flavor violation (LFV) in interactions involving charged leptons. The invariant mass distribution of...

We present a model with the family group $\mathcal{PSL}_2(7)$ wherein the top quark hierarchy, through $SO(10)$ and the Seesaw mechanism, is mapped onto the vacuum values of familon fields and transferred to the $\Delta I_{\rm w}=0$ parameters of the $\nu$MSSM: the right-handed neutrino Majorana mass $\mathcal{M}$ and the mu term. It predicts tribimaximal mixing, and a normal hierarchy for the...

In Standard Model, massive fermions show strong hierarchy in their Yukawa couplings among the different generations and the CKM angles are related to the small mass ratios between fermions of different generations,that is why the quark mixing angles are quite small and the CKM matrix is almost close to unit matrix. In contrast Neutrino mixing angles are quite large. To incorporate all the...

The Little Flavor model introduced a novel framework for understanding flavor: flavor structure is due to hierarchical breaking of the combination of vector-like symmetries and an approximate nonlinearly realized symmetry in the Higgs sector. While it was found that realistic mass hierarchies could result from physics at a few TeV, the underlying mechanism for appropriately suppressing flavor...
