In this work, we have studied the possible dark matter candidate in the context of SO(10) grand unified theories (GUTs). Motivated by the long list of attractive features of such class of models, we have studied all the possible TeV scale dark matter candidates in SO(10) GUTs without extending the group structure of the model and keeping the fine-tuning minimal. It is well-known that if the...
We present a simple left-right symmetric model with a Higgs sector composed of a charged singlet and doublets. Higgs triplets that are conventionally used are absent. Right-handed neutrino masses arise through two-loop radiative corrections. Phenomenology of this model is analyzed.
We present a flavor gauge model based on $O(3)_L \times O(3)_R$ gauge symmetry, a maximal anomaly-free subgroup of the standard model flavor symmetry. In this model the fermion mass hierarchy has a dynamical origin. The model provides a UV complete realization of the Minimal Flavor Violation Hypothesis. Implications for quark sector and lepton sector flavor violation arising through higher...
We consider electroweak Higgs Boson production in association of three jets at NLO QCD beyond strict VBF acceptance cuts. We investigate how accurate the VBF approximation is by a detailed comparison of the full and approximate calculations. We find that the rapidity gap between the tagging jets is guaranteeing a good approximation, while an invariant mass cut along is not sufficient.
