The top quark is hypothesized in many BSM models to have enhanced, non-standard or rare interactions with other SM or BSM particles. This presentation covers the latest CMS direct results in this regard, including the tests of lepton flavor violations and baryon number violations. It does not cover FCNC searches.
The latest results from searches for electroweak production of SUSY particles with the CMS experiment will be presented. The analyses are based on the full dataset of pp collisions recorded at sqrt(s) = 13 TeV during the LHC Run 2. Searches are performed in multiple final states and the combination of those searches will be also discussed.
A new paradigm for dark matter searches, allows to focus not only on the coupling between dark matter and the Standard Model, but also on the interactions between dark matter constituents themselves. The LHC is in a unique position to investigate such a rich dark sector which is otherwise difficult to probe with direct and indirect detection techniques. In this talk, a recently published...
We summarize current results for searches of the production of supersymmtric particles decaying to photons in the final state using LHC data collected with the CMS detector. The latest results on a SUSY search with diphotons and large missing momentum as well as a stealth supersymmetry search involving diphotons and low missing momentum are presented.
Novel techniques, using trackless and delayed jet information combined in a deep neural network discriminator, can be employed to identify decays of long-lived particles. In this talk we present how such techniques could be exploited to search for long-lived particles decaying in the outer regions of the CMS silicon tracker or in the calorimeters. The results, obtained using the full Run-II...
Non-conventional signatures like exotic long-lived particles can naturally arise from many beyond-the-standard-model scenarios, which are closely connected to some of the most important puzzles in particle physics, including hierarchy problem, the nature of dark matter, the origin of neutrino mass, and the origin of matter-antimatter asymmetry. Searches for non-conventional signatures also...
Searching for Higgs boson decays to four bottom quarks is a challenging and critical benchmark for LHC experiments. This final state is predicted by a variety of beyond the Standard Model theories, and current LHC searches focus on the associated production of a Higgs boson with a $W$ or $Z$ boson that subsequently decays to leptons which can be used for triggering. We evaluate the sensitivity...
Under supersymmetry (SUSY) models with low electroweak naturalness (natSUSY), which have been suggested to be the most likely version of SUSY to emerge from the string landscape, we examine the viabilities of future search for the heavy SUSY Higgs bosons H, A, H^\pm through various their decay signatures in LHC. The traditional H, A -> tautau, as well as H^\pm -> tau+nu, t+b, with a spectator...
