11. Flavor Changing Heavy Higgs Interactions with Leptons at Hadron Colliders

Mr Rishabh Jain (University of Oklahoma)

We adopt a general two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) to study the signature
of flavor changing neutral Higgs (FCNH) decays into leptons at the CERN
Large Hadron Collider (LHC) as well as future hadron colliders
$pp \to \phi^0 \to \tau^\mp\mu^\pm +X$, where $\phi^0$ could be
a CP-even scalar [$h^0$ (lighter), $H^0$ (heavier)]
or a CP-odd pseudoscalar ($A^0$).

22. Hunting for Maverick Top Partners

Most searches for vector-like top partners (T) are concerned with the pair and single productions, strictly focusing on three conventional T decays (i.e. t Z, t h and Wb). As bounds become increasingly stringent, however, the LHC energy will be saturated and the utility of these channels greatly diminish.

This takes forward our task to scrutinize every corner of a parameter space, including...

13. Shedding Light on Top Partner at the LHC

We study the radiative decay modes of a TeV scale top partner that decays to SM top plus either photon or gluon. Such decay modes can be dominant especially in the case where the mixing between the top partner and the SM top goes to zero. The top partner is introduced as a color triplet and electroweak singlet. We take a model-independent approach by introducing an effective dimension-five...
