Effects of triplet Higgs bosons in long baseline neutrino experiments
2018
The triplet scalars $(\Delta=\Delta^{++},\Delta^{+},\Delta^{0})$, utilized in the so-called Type-II seesaw model to explain the lightness of neutrinos, would generate nonstandard interactions (NSI) for neutrino propagating in matter. We investigate the prospects to probe these interactions in long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. We analyze the upper bounds that the proposed DUNE experiment might set on the nonstandard parameters and numerically derive upper bounds, as function of the lightest neutrino mass, on the ratio the mass $M_\Delta$ of the triplet scalars and strength $|\lambda_\phi|$ of the coupling $\phi\phi\Delta$ of the triplet $\Delta$ and conventional Higgs doublet $…
Search for anomalous production of prompt like-sign muon pairs and constraints on physics beyond the Standard Model with the ATLAS detector
2012
An inclusive search for anomalous production of two prompt, isolated muons with the same electric charge is presented. The search is performed in a data sample corresponding to 1.6 fb−1 of integrated luminosity collected in 2011 at √s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Muon pairs are selected by requiring two isolated muons of the same electric charge with pT>20 GeV and |η|<2.5. Minimal requirements are placed on the rest of the event activity. The distribution of the invariant mass of the muon pair m(μμ) is found to agree well with the background expectation. Upper limits on the cross section for anomalous production of two muons with the same electric charge are placed as a func…
Bounds on neutral and charged Higgs from the LHC
2014
After the discovery of a Standard Model-like boson with mass of about 125 GeV the possibility of an enlarged scalar sector arises naturally. Here we present the current status of the phenomenology of the two-Higgs-doublet models with a special focus on the charged Higgs sector. If one considers a fermiophobic charged Higgs (it does not couple to fermions at tree level), all present experimental bounds are evaded trivially, therefore one needs to consider other decay and production channels. In this work we also present some of the interesting features of this specific scenario.
The Higgs Era
2016
Después del descubrimiento de un bosón escalar con masa alrededor de 125, el Modelo Estándar parece funcionar perfectamente, pero todavía hay mucho espacio (y necesidad) para nueva física. A pesar de su enorme éxito, el Modelo Estándar deja muchas preguntas sin responder y muchas cuestiones abiertas. A falta del conocimiento de una simetría fundamental de la Naturaleza que nos indique el camino, hemos de analizar fenomenologicamente cualquier extensión del Modelo que pueda responder al menos a alguna de estas preguntas. En este trabajo estudiamos dos tipos de extensiones del Modelo Estándar, las dos relacionadas con el sector escalar. En la primera parte de la tesis estudiamos la posible ex…
