In this talk, we present a model using an up-type vector like quark (VLQ) charged under an additional U(1) gauge symmetry, whose gauge boson is a dark photon and which is broken via a new dark Higgs mechanism. While this model achieves a rich decay phenomenology, it also demonstrates two important features. First, traditional searches for Vector-Like Quarks (VLQs) rely on the decay into...
We study the prospect of discovering a rare $t \to c h^0$ decay in the top pair production channel at LHC. We follow a general two Higgs doublet model framework to investigate this signature, with Higgs decaying into $\tau \tau$ and another top decaying hadronically to a b quark and two light jets. We search for the following final states $b j j \ell^+ \ell^- + MET$ and $b j j \ell^{\pm}...
High energy physics data, even at the parton level, is high dimensional. Analyzing the distribution of collider events in the full phase-space comes with several challenges--insufficient computational resources to scan the full phase-space, insufficient data to populate it, difficulty in validating monte carlo in the full phase-space, etc.
One way to address the curse of dimensionality is...
In this talk I will present results obtained using the previously developed projective phase space generator for the calculation of the vector boson plus one jet at next-to-leading order in QCD. I will comment on the scalability of the projective phase space generator and further directions of the research.
