Goldstone equivalence and high energy electroweak physics

Andrea Wulzer, Gabriel Francisco Cuomo, Luca Vecchi

The transition between the broken and unbroken phases of massive gauge theories, namely the rearrangement of longitudinal and Goldstone degrees of freedom that occurs at high energy, is not manifestly smooth in the standard formalism. The lack of smoothnes ...

HE-LHC: The High-Energy Large Hadron Collider Future Circular Collider Conceptual Design Report Volume 4

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Jan Steggemann, Elena Graverini, Jean-Michel Sallese, Thomas Rizzo, Luca Rossi, Leonid Rivkin, Eva Maria Rodriguez Franco, Fabio Avino, Mikhail Chapochnikov

In response to the 2013 Update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics (EPPSU), the Future Circular Collider (FCC) study was launched as a world-wide international collaboration hosted by CERN. The FCC study covered an energy-frontier hadron collider ...

FCC Physics Opportunities: Future Circular Collider Conceptual Design Report Volume 1

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Jan Steggemann, Elena Graverini, Jean-Michel Sallese, Thomas Rizzo, Luca Rossi, Rui Ning Wang, Fabio Avino, Xavier Buffat, Tatiana Pieloni

We review the physics opportunities of the Future Circular Collider, covering its e(+)e(-), pp, ep and heavy ion programmes. We describe the measurement capabilities of each FCC component, addressing the study of electroweak, Higgs and strong interactions, ...

Natural seesaw and leptogenesis from hybrid of high-scale type I and TeV-scale inverse

Majid Ekhterachian, Luca Vecchi

We develop an extension of the basic inverse seesaw model which addresses simultaneously two of its drawbacks, namely, the lack of explanation of the tiny Majorana mass term for the TeV-scale singlet fermions and the difficulty in achieving successful lept ...

FCC-ee: The Lepton Collider: Future Circular Collider Conceptual Design Report Volume 2

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Jan Steggemann, Elena Graverini, Tatiana Pieloni, Jean-Michel Sallese, Mikhail Chapochnikov, Luca Rossi, Vincenzo D'Auria, Javier Barranco Garcia, Fabio Avino

In response to the 2013 Update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics, the Future Circular Collider (FCC) study was launched, as an international collaboration hosted by CERN. This study covers a highest-luminosity high-energy lepton collider (FCC-e ...

Electroweak baryogenesis above the electroweak scale

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alfredo Glioti, Luca Vecchi

Conventional scenarios of electroweak (EW) baryogenesis are strongly constrained by experimental searches for CP violation beyond the SM. We propose an alternative scenario where the EW phase transition and baryogenesis occur at temperatures of the order o ...

The bearable compositeness of leptons

Luca Vecchi

Partial compositeness as a theory of flavor in the lepton sector is assessed. We begin presenting the first systematic analysis of neutrino mass generation in this context, and identifying the distinctive mass textures. We then update the bounds from charg ...

Hybrid seesaw leptogenesis and TeV singlets

Majid Ekhterachian, Luca Vecchi

The appealing feature of inverse seesaw models is that the Standard Model (SM) neutrino mass emerges from the exchange of TeV scale singlets with sizable Yukawa couplings, which can be tested at colliders. However, the tiny Majorana mass splitting between ...

On Partial Compositeness and the CP asymmetry in charm decays

Riccardo Rattazzi, Duccio Pappadopulo, Luca Vecchi, Paolo Lodone, Boaz Keren Zur

Recently, the LHCb and CDF Collaborations reported the measure of an unexpectedly large direct CP asymmetry in D meson decays. In this paper we ask if new physics associated with Partial Compositeness could plausibly explain this result. We find that Compo ...
