    At the LHC, particle physicists have been actively searching for more Higgs bosons, since the discovery of one, at 126 GeV, in 2012. The 126 GeV Higgs boson behaves like the Standard Model (SM) described. However, it is uncertain whether it is the SM Higgs or a SM-like Higgs among a larger Higgs sector in some beyond Standard Model (BSM) theories. The HKU ATLAS group is interested in the...

    In an effective theory, the UV physics can be parametrized by a set of higher-dimensional operators. We explore the sensitivity potential at future $e^-e^+$ colliders to probe six-dinmensional operators which may deform Higgs physics at electroweak scale. Different from studies in literature, we (1) analyze the sensitivities of disentangling the single-operator contribution, under the...

    With searches for new physics in the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, it is possible to encounter O(100000) background events compared to O(10) expected signal events. In the face of such challenging conditions, it can be difficult to do a traditional cut-based analysis to minimize background while still preserving reasonable signal efficiency such that the limits on new physics can be extended....

    We have calculated the one-loop effective action in the Standard Model dimension-6 operator basis by integrating out neutralinos and charginos in Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) by using the Covariant Derivative Expansion (CDE) method. The results were verified by comparing the $h\gamma \gamma$ effective coupling from these effective operators and from loop calculation or low...

    We have explored the possibilities of scenarios with heavy gluinos and light stops in supersymmetric (SUSY) standard models with extra vector-like multiplets. If we assume the hierarchical structure for soft masses of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) scalar fields and extra scalars, the light stop and the observed Higgs boson can be realized. While the stau is the lightest SUSY...

    Maximal symmetry is a novel tool for composite pseudo-Goldstone boson Higgs models: it is a remnant of an enhanced global symmetry of the composite fermion sector involving a twisting with the Higgs field. Maximal symmetry has far-reaching consequences: it ensures that the Higgs potential is finite and fully calculable, and also minimizes the tuning.

    Since the machine learning techniques are improving rapidly, it has been shown that the image recognition technique can be used to detect jet substructure. And it turns out that deep neural networks can match or outperform traditional approach. To push it further, we investigate the Recursive Neural Networks (RecNN), which embeds jet clustering history recursively as in natural language...

    The original clockwork theories (1511.00132 and 1511.01827) comprise an N-site quiver of N axions, with symmetry breaking interactions arranged between them to leave a single massless mode with exponentially suppressed and (lattice) position dependent couplings to different sites. We study both clockwork's group-theoretic generalisation to quivers with different symmetry groups, and also its...

    We calculate the $gg\to\gamma\gamma$ amplitude by including the $t\bar t$ bound-state effects near their mass threshold. In terms of the non-relativistic expansion of the amplitude, the LO contribution is an energy-independent term in the one-loop amplitude. We include the NLO contribution described by the non-relativistic Green function and part of the NNLO contribution. Despite a missing NLO...

    Solutions to the electroweak hierarchy problem typically introduce a new symmetry to stabilize the quadratic ultraviolet sensitivity in the self-energy of the Higgs boson. The new symmetry is either broken softly or collectively, as for example in supersymmetric and little Higgs theories. At low energies such theories contain naturalness partners of the Standard Model fields which are...

    Symmetry-based solutions of the hierarchy problem generically predict new states to cancel the Standard Model one-loop quadratic divergence of the Higgs mass. Phenomenological investigations are generally focused on the top-partners, expected to be at the TeV scale by naturalness arguments, and with model-dependent quantum numbers. While direct LHC searches have so far turned empty-handed...

    We study the impact of including quark- and gluon-initiated jet discrimination in the search for strongly interacting supersymmetric particles at the LHC. Taking the example of gluino pair production, considerable improvement is observed in the LHC search reach on including the jet substructure observables to the standard kinematic variables within a multivariate analysis. In particular, quark...

    We report here measurements of correlations between Lambda0-anti-Lambda0, Lambda0-Lambda0, and anti-Lambda-anti-Lambda0 hyperon pairs produced inclusively at the LHC. The analysis is based on hyperon pairs selected using the muon and minimum bias sample collected at the ATLAS experiment from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV in 2010.

    Neutrinoless double beta decay is an extremely rare nuclear transition which could establish the nature of neutrino (Majorana or Dirac particle), determine the absolute neutrino mass and the neutrino-mass hierarchy, check the lepton number conservation and possible contribution of right-handed admixture to weak interaction, existence of Nambu-Goldstone bosons (majorons) and other effects...

    In recent years, a discrepancy between the measured and the predicted antineutrino flux at nuclear reactors, the so-called โ€œReactor Antineutrino Anomalyโ€ (RAA), has emerged. This implies either a bias in the theoretical calculation of the flux, or neutrino oscillation beyond the three-neutrino paradigm. A more precise determination of the antineutrino flux can shed light onto the origin of the...

    The extension of the Standard Model by heavy right-handed neutrinos can simultaneously explain the observed neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe via leptogenesis. If the mass of the heavy neutrinos is below the electroweak scale, they may be found at the LHC, BELLE II, NA62, the proposed SHiP experiment or a future high-energy collider. In this mass...

    Hadronization is process that lays in the heart of QCD and refers to the formation of hadrons from quarks and gluons. Occurred shortly after the Big Bang when quark-gluon plasma cooled, it is currently explored using accelerator facilities and high energy collisions.

    Neutrino mass sum rules are an important class of predictions in flavour models relating the Majorana phases to the neutrino masses. This leads, for instance, to enormous restrictions on the effective mass as probed in experiments on neutrinoless double beta decay. While up to now these sum rules have in practically all cases been taken to hold exactly, we will go here beyond that. After a...

In a class of the minimal axion hilltop inflation, the effective masses at the maximum and mimimum of the potential have equal magnitude but opposite sign, so that the ALP inflaton is light both during inflation and in the true vacuum. After inflation, most of the...

The current running XMASS-I features 832kg ultra clean liquid xenon. Combined with low energy threshold of 0.3keV, XMASS-I is sensitive to low mass WIMPs and annual modulation search of dark matter.

The selected subset of operators is motivated by composite-Higgs and Higgs-inflation models.

    Mirror dark matter can potentially solve outstanding problems in structure formation, concerning the formation of small-scale structure on dwarf galaxy scales. We show that via its impact on residual ionization when early structure formation occurs, fragmentation into stars is naturally suppressed.

    The baryon asymmetry of the Universe could originate from the lepton asymmetry which was produced at relatively low temperatures. Using a model with three right-handed neutrinos ($\nu$MSM) as an example, we demonstrate how to obtain a kinetic equation for the baryon number density and show in which cases this accurate treatment could be important.

    A cosmic lepton asymmetry much larger than its baryonic counterpart is a prerequisite for the resonant production of sterile neutrino dark matter and is associated with a number of baryogenesis mechanisms.
