Kathryn Zurek (University of Wisconsin, Madison)30/07/2007, 14:00AlternativesParallel TalkWe describe a class of models called ``hidden valleys'', which consist of low mass hidden sector quarks charged under a new confining gauge group. Such sectors arise often in string theories and elsewhere. The phenomenology of these sectors is often qualitatively different from other beyond the standard model physics, giving rise to long lived hidden sector hadrons, high invariant mass...Go to contribution page

Isabelle Ripp (Institut Pluridisciplinaire Hubert Curien (IPHC) - Inst. Nat. Ph)30/07/2007, 14:20AlternativesParallel TalkThe large mass of the top quark, close to the electroweak symmetry-breaking scale, makes it a good candidate for probing physics beyond the Standard Model. Single top quarks may be produced in the decay of a new heavy gauge boson W' and we present limits on the production cross section and the mass of such a W' assuming standard model like couplings. We also search for single top...Go to contribution page

Thomas Nunnemann (Munich)30/07/2007, 14:40AlternativesParallel TalkWe report on searches for the production of scalar and vector leptoquarks in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at the Tevatron collider, which are based on integrated luminosities of up to 1\,fb$^{-1}$ collected with the D\O{} detector. Leptoquarks, which are predicted by several extensions of the Standard Model, are hypothetical particles carrying both lepton and quark flavors. At hadron...Go to contribution page

Dr Pavel Fileviez Perez (CFTP, Departamento de Fisica. Instituto Superior Tecnico. Lisbon.)30/07/2007, 15:00AlternativesParallel TalkWe propose a renormalizable (susy) grand unified theory where the neutrino masses are generated through type III and type I seesaw mechanisms. Several phenomenological and cosmological aspects of this proposal are discussed.Go to contribution page

Mr Georgios Choudalakis (MIT)30/07/2007, 15:20AlternativesParallel TalkWe present the results of a model-independent search for new physics, conducted on 1fb-1 of data collected by the CDF experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron. A novel technique (Vista) is used to analyse the bulk features of the high-pT data. Event populations and approximately 17,000 kinematic distributions from 340 distinct final states are searched for signs of physics beyond the Standard Model.Go to contribution page

Mr Georgios Choudalakis (MIT)30/07/2007, 15:40AlternativesParallel TalkLacking precise theoretical direction for where to look for the first sign of physics beyond the Standard Model, it seems prudent to look in as many places as possible. Sleuth is a quasi-model-independent search strategy for new electroweak scale physics, appropriate for frontier energy hadron colliders. Assuming the new physics appears in the form of structure with characteristic energy...Go to contribution page
