    Javier Tarrío
    05/06/2018, 14:40

    I will discuss a mechanism that describes the spontaneous breaking of the gauge (color) group in strongly coupled N=4SYM coupled to charged fundamental matter. The system is holographically described by an intersection of D3 and D7 branes, with a global (baryonic) U(1) charge on the worldvolume of the latter. Backreaction of the D7 branes and the baryonic charge on the geometry is crucial in...

  27. 50. Current and Future Constraints on Higgs Couplings
    Claudius Krause (Fermilab)
    05/06/2018, 14:40

    We perform a Bayesian statistical analysis of the constraints on the Higgs couplings given by the Higgs electroweak chiral Lagrangian. We obtain bounds on the effective coefficients entering in Higgs observables at the leading order, using all available Higgs-boson signal strengths from the LHC runs 1 and 2 including data reported at Moriond 2018. Using a prior dependence study of the...

    Sebastian Ellis
    05/06/2018, 15:40

    A light bosonic field mediates a long-range "fifth" force between objects. If the field has self-interactions, experimental constraints on such forces are weakened due to a screening effect. We study how technically natural values for self-interaction terms in the field's potential lead to modification of existing constraints. We show that under this assumption of natural self-interactions,...

    Tao Han (University of Pittsburgh)
    06/06/2018, 08:30

    The experiments at the LHC have been improving the measurements of the Higgs boson properties, and searches for new physics are being actively conducted. In the absence of deviations from the Standard Model thus far, it would be prudent to seek for other complementary strategies in the experiments at the energy frontier. For this purpose, we propose to study the Higgs couplings at high energy...

I will show that it can be understood by accounting for the effects...

    Large scale structure simulations are a fundamental tool to interpret data from large volume galaxy surveys. In fact, modelling the observables and their covariance is affected by the non-linear regime of gravitational collapse, a phenomenon that is best captured through simulations. In this talk I will present some applications of simulations that are relevant to present and upcoming galaxy...

    We discuss a cosmological phase transition within the Standard Model which incorporates spontaneously broken scale invariance as a low-energy theory. In addition to the Standard Model fields, the minimal model involves a light dilaton, which acquires a large vacuum expectation value (VEV) through the mechanism of dimensional transmutation. Under the assumption of the cancellation of the vacuum...
