"co-NLSP upper limit on cross section" of "Search for displaced leptons in $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV $pp$ collisions with the ATLAS detector"
2021
Upper limits on observed signal cross section, $\sigma_\text{obs}^\text{95}$, where all slepton flavors are mass degenerate (co-NLSP).
"Observed LH stau limits" of "Search for displaced leptons in $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV $pp$ collisions with the ATLAS detector"
2021
Observed 95% CL exclusion sensitivity. The limit is displayed in the lifetime vs. $m(\tilde{\tau}_L)$ plane, where $\tilde{\tau}_L$ is the pure-state super-partner of the left-handed $\tau$. Purple denotes the region excluded by LEP. This result does not present signficant sensitivity to the pure-state superpartner of the right-handed $\tau$.
"Expected stau limits" of "Search for displaced leptons in $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV $pp$ collisions with the ATLAS detector"
2021
Expected 95% CL exclusion sensitivity. The limit is displayed in the lifetime vs. $m(\tilde{\tau})$ plane. Staus, $\tilde{\tau}_{1,2}$ are the mixed states of the superpartners of the left- and right-handed $\tau$ leptons, with mixing angle $\sin(\theta_{\tilde\tau})=0.95$, which are assumed to be mass degenerate.
"smuon upper limit on cross section" of "Search for displaced leptons in $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV $pp$ collisions with the ATLAS detector"
2021
Upper limits on observed signal cross section, $\sigma_\text{obs}^\text{95}$, for the smuon signal model. Smuon ($\tilde{\mu}_{L, R}$) refers to the scalar superpartners of left- and right-handed muons.
Delta M_K and epsilon_K in SUSY at the Next-to-Leading order
1998
We perform a Next-to-Leading order analysis of Delta S=2 processes beyond the Standard Model. Combining the recently computed NLO anomalous dimensions and the B parameters of the most general Delta S=2 effective Hamiltonian, we give an analytic formula for Delta M_K and epsilon_K in terms of the Wilson coefficients at the high energy scale. This expression can be used for any extension of the Standard Model with new heavy particles. Using this result, we consider gluino-mediated contributions to Delta S=2 transitions in general SUSY models and provide an improved analysis of the constraints on off-diagonal mass terms between the first two generations of down-type squarks. Finally, we improv…
Testing for new physics with low-energy anti-neutrino sources: LAMA as a case study
1998
Some electroweak models with extended neutral currents, such as those based on the $E_6$ group, lead to an increase of the $\bar{\nu}-e$ scattering cross section at energies below 100 keV. We propose to search for the heavy Z' boson contribution in an experiment with a high-activity artificial neutrino source and with a large-mass detector. We present the case for the LAMA experiment with a large NaI(Tl) detector located at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory. The neutrino flux is known to within a one percent accuracy, in contrast to the reactor case and one can reach lower neutrino energies. Both features make our proposed experiment more sensitive to extended gauge models, such as the …

Violation of the equivalence principle from light scalar dark matter
2018
In this paper, we study the local observational consequences of a violation of the Einstein Equivalence Principle induced by models of light scalar Dark Matter (DM). We focus on two different models where the scalar field couples linearly or quadratically to the standard model of matter fields. For both these cases, we derive the solutions of the scalar field. We also derive from first principles the expressions for two types of observables: (i) the local comparison of two atomic sensors that are differently sensitive to the constants of Nature and (ii) the local differential acceleration between two test-masses with different compositions. For the linear coupling, we recover that the signa…
Tau neutrinos in the next decade: from GeV to EeV
2022
Tau neutrinos are the least studied particle in the standard model. This whitepaper discusses the current and expected upcoming status of tau neutrino physics with attention to the broad experimental and theoretical landscape spanning long-baseline, beam-dump, collider, and astrophysical experiments. This whitepaper was prepared as a part of the NuTau2021 Workshop.
Physics beyond colliders at CERN: beyond the Standard Model working group report
2019
The Physics Beyond Colliders initiative is an exploratory study aimed at exploiting the full scientific potential of the CERN's accelerator complex and scientific infrastructures through projects complementary to the LHC and other possible future colliders. These projects will target fundamental physics questions in modern particle physics. This document presents the status of the proposals presented in the framework of the Beyond Standard Model physics working group, and explore their physics reach and the impact that CERN could have in the next 10–20 years on the international landscape.
