The notion of asymptotic safety is combined with conformal invariance in an extension of the Standard Model. Renormalization group equations are used as a bridge to connect asymptotic safety UV boundary conditions and EW/TeV scale physics in the context of a leptophobic U(1)′ model. A broad selection of UV boundary conditions are formulated corresponding to differing AS scenarios. An...
As yet, every measurement of the Higgs boson is consistent with the predictions of the Standard Model. I will describe new measurements that can made at the LHC and future colliders in kinematic distributions. I will focus on the so called “Golden Channel” decay of the Higgs boson with four leptons in the final state. I will show how these measurements can probe both generic deviations from...
Non-Abelian dark gauge forces that do not couple directly to ordinary matter may be realized in nature. If the dark sector is reheated in the early universe, it will be realized as a set of dark gluons at high temperatures and as a collection of dark glueballs at lower temperatures, with a cosmological phase transition from one form to the other. These glueballs can be, if left alone, the...
The Y(2175) resonance was first observed in an initial state radiation process by the BaBar Collaboration. It was later confirmed by the BES, Belle, and BESIII collaborations. A conventional strangeonium meson interpretation of the Y(2175) is disfavoured due to the resonance's relatively narrow width and unexpected decay patterns. As such, it may be an outside-the-quark-model hadron, e.g.,...
