A search for new physics in final states consisting of at least one photon, multiple jets, and large missing transverse momentum is presented, using proton-proton collision events at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data correspond to an integrated l ...

Sleptonic SUSY: from UV framework to IR phenomenology

Majid Ekhterachian

We study an attractive scenario, "Sleptonic SUSY", which reconciles the 125 GeV Higgs scalar and the non-observation of superpartners thus far with potentially pivotal roles for slepton phenomenology: providing viable ongoing targets for LHC discovery, inc ...

Effective Field Theories for New and Old Physics

Alfredo Glioti

Effective Field Theories have changed our understanding of Quantum Field Theories. This thesis shows several applications of this powerful tool in the context of the Standard Model and for searches of New Physics. The thesis starts with a review of the St ...

Standard model meets gravity: Electroweak symmetry breaking and inflation

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Andrey Shkerin, Sebastian Zell

We propose a model for combining the Standard Model (SM) with gravity. It relies on a nonminimal coupling of the Higgs field to the Ricci scalar and on the Palatini formulation of gravity. Without introducing any new degrees of freedom in addition to those ...

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 ...

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 ...

Asymptotic scale invariance and its consequences

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Kengo Shimada

Scale invariance supplemented by the requirement of the absence of new heavy particles may play an important role in addressing the hierarchy problem. We discuss how the Standard Model may become scale invariant at the quantum level above a certain value o ...

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, ...

Dilaton-assisted generation of the Fermi scale from the Planck scale

Andrey Shkerin

In scale-invariant theories of gravity the Planck mass M-p, which appears due to spontaneous symmetry breaking, can be the only scale at the classical level. It was argued that the second scale can be generated by a quantum nonperturbative gravitational ef ...

On lepton number violation in heavy neutrino decays at colliders

Marco Drewes, Juraj Klaric

We study the perspective to observe lepton number violating signatures from heavy Majorana neutrino decays at colliders in view of the requirement to explain the light neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism. In the minimal model with only two heavy neutr ...

Towards a non-perturbative approach to the Hierarchy problem

Andrey Shkerin

In this report, based on [1], we suggest that the hierarchy between the Electroweak (EW) and the Planck scales can emerge due to a nonperturbative effect that relates low-energy and strong-gravity physics. In this mechanism, the EW scale results from an ex ...

Conformal symmetry: Towards the link between the Fermi and the Planck scales

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Andrey Shkerin

If the mass of the Higgs boson is put to zero, the classical Lagrangian of the Standard Model (SM) becomes conformally invariant (CI). Taking into account quantum non-perturbative QCD effects violating CI leads to electroweak symmetry breaking with the sca ...

Electroweak vacuum stability in the Higgs-Dilaton theory

Andrey Shkerin

We study the stability of the Electroweak (EW) vacuum in a scale-invariant extension of the Standard Model and General Relativity, known as a Higgs-Dilaton theory. The safety of the EW vacuum against possible transition towards another vacuum is a necessar ...

Naturalness and Neutral Naturalness in the LHC Era

We present two different approaches to solve the hierarchy problem of the Standard Model and to provide a consistent dynamical mechanism for electroweak symmetry breaking. As a first scenario, we follow the naturalness paradigm as realized in Composite Hig ...

On neutrinoless double beta decay in the nu MSM

We consider the neutrinoless double beta (0 nu beta beta) decay in the nu MSM, in which three right-handed neutrinos with masses below the electroweak scale are additionally introduced to the Standard Model. In this model there appear three heavy neutral l ...

Using the predictive power of the effective field theory approach, we present a physical parametrization of the leading effects beyond the standard model (BSM), which gives us at present the best way to constrain heavy new physics at low energies. We show ...

On stability of electroweak vacuum during inflation

Sergey Sibiryakov, Andrey Shkerin

We study Coleman-De Luccia tunneling of the Standard Model Higgs field during inflation in the case when the electroweak vacuum is metastable. We verify that the tunneling rate is exponentially suppressed. The main contribution to the suppression is the sa ...

Why should we care about the top quark Yukawa coupling?

Mikhail Chapochnikov

In the cosmological context, for the Standard Model to be valid up to the scale of inflation, the top quark Yukawa coupling y (t) should not exceed the critical value y (t) (crit) , coinciding with good precision (about 0.2aEuro degrees) with the requireme ...
