Hilbert series, the Higgs mechanism, and HEFT

We expand Hilbert series technologies in effective field theory for the inclusion of massive particles, enabling, among other things, the enumeration of operator bases for non-linearly realized gauge theories. We find that the Higgs mechanism is manifest a ...

Search for Heavy Neutral Leptons with LHCb

Serhii Cholak

This thesis presents a search for a beyond the Standard Model (SM) heavy neutral lepton (HNL), which does not interact via any of the SM interactions. This hypothetical particle has been proposed by multiple theories as an extension to the SM, and it could ...

Sara Celani

This PhD thesis aims at testing one of the fundamental properties of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics: the lepton flavour universality (LFU), which states that

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 ...

Two paths towards precision at a very high energy lepton collider

Andrea Wulzer, Roberto Franceschini

We illustrate the potential of a very high energy lepton collider (from 10 to 30 TeV center of mass energy) to explore new physics indirectly in the vector boson fusion double Higgs production process and in direct diboson production at high energy. Double ...

Spontaneous baryogenesis from axions with generic couplings

Valerie Fiona Domcke

Axion-like particles can source the baryon asymmetry of our Universe through spontaneous baryogenesis. Here we clarify that this is a generic outcome for essentially any coupling of an axion-like particle to the Standard Model, requiring only a non-zero ve ...

BBN constraints on universally-coupled ultralight scalar dark matter

Sergey Sibiryakov

Ultralight scalar dark matter can interact with all massive Standard Model particles through a universal coupling. Such a coupling modifies the Standard Model particle masses and affects the dynamics of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. We model the cosmological e ...

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 ...

Exploring beyond the Standard Model: the Heavy and the Dark

Kin Shanho Eliaou Mimouni

Physics beyond the Standard Model can appear as new particles too heavy to be produced in experiments (the energy frontier) or interacting too weakly to be seen in our measurements (the intensity frontier). In the first part of this thesis, we study two ...
