Search for Gluinos in Events with Two Same-Sign Leptons, Jets, and Missing Transverse Momentum with the ATLAS Detector in Collisions at
2012
A search is presented for gluinos decaying via the supersymmetric partner of the top quark using events with two same-sign leptons, jets, and missing transverse momentum. The analysis is performed ...
Relating quarks and leptons without grand-unification
2011
In combination with supersymmetry, flavor symmetry may relate quarks with leptons, even in the absence of a grand-unification group. We propose an SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1) model where both supersymmetry and the assumed A4 flavor symmetries are softly broken, reproducing well the observed fermion mass hierarchies and predicting: (i) a relation between down-type quarks and charged lepton masses, and (ii) a correlation between the Cabibbo angle in the quark sector, and the reactor angle characterizing CP violation in neutrino oscillations.
Asymmetric tri-bi-maximal mixing and residual symmetries
2019
Asymmetric tri-bi-maximal mixing is a recently proposed, grand unified theory (GUT) based, flavor mixing scheme. In it, the charged lepton mixing is fixed by the GUT connection to down-type quarks and a $\mathcal{T}_{13}$ flavor symmetry, while neutrino mixing is assumed to be tri-bi-maximal (TBM) with one additional free phase. Here we show that this additional free phase can be fixed by the residual flavor and CP symmetries of the effective neutrino mass matrix. We discuss how those residual symmetries can be unified with $\mathcal{T}_{13}$ and identify the smallest possible unified flavor symmetries, namely $(\mathbb{Z}_{13}\times\mathbb{Z}_{13})\rtimes \mathrm{D}_{12}$ and $(\mathbb{Z}_…
Mixing induced CP asymmetries in b → sγ decay and spontaneous CP violation
1998
Abstract We analyze the mixing induced CP asymmetry in the decay b → sγ in the left-right symmetric model with spontaneous CP . This model possesses the useful property that all the CP -violating observables can be expressed in term of a single phase, a ratio of scalar vevs, quark masses and weak mixing angles but not on unconstrained quantities such as Yukawa coupling or additional phases. The calculated CP asymmetry can be much larger than in the Standard Model.
Search for single top quark production inpp¯collisions ats=1.96 TeVin the missing transverse energy plus jets topology
2010
We report a search for single top quark production with the CDF II detector using 2.1 fb{sup -1} of integrated luminosity of pp collisions at {radical}(s)=1.96 TeV. The data selected consist of events characterized by large energy imbalance in the transverse plane and hadronic jets, and no identified electrons and muons, so the sample is enriched in W{yields}{tau}{nu} decays. In order to suppress backgrounds, additional kinematic and topological requirements are imposed through a neural network, and at least one of the jets must be identified as a b quark jet. We measure an excess of signal-like events in agreement with the standard model prediction, but inconsistent with a model without si…
Search for a Heavy Toplike Quark inpp¯Collisions ats=1.96 TeV
2011
We present the results of a search for pair production of a heavy toplike (t') quark decaying to Wq final states using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.6 fb(-1) collected by the CDF II detector in pp collisions at √s=1.96 TeV. We perform parallel searches for t'→Wb and t'→Wq (where q is a generic down-type quark) in events containing a lepton and four or more jets. By performing a fit to the two-dimensional distribution of total transverse energy versus reconstructed t' quark mass, we set upper limits on the t't' production cross section and exclude a standard model fourth-generation t' quark decaying to Wb (Wq) with mass below 358 (340) GeV/c(2) at 95% C.L.
and the electroweak penguin contribution
2003
Abstract Our dispersive sum rule calculation of the electroweak penguin contribution to ϵ′ ϵ is reviewed. A more recent analysis based on the finite-energy sum rule approach is described. Finally, a new determination of the electroweak penguin contribution to ϵ′ ϵ is presented.
ε′/ε in the standard model
2001
We overview the detailed analysis of e ' /e within the Standard Model, pre- sented in ref. (1). When all sources of large logarithms are considered, both at short and long distances, it is possible to perform a reliable Standard Model estimate of e ' /e. The strong S-wave rescattering of the final pions has an important impact on this observ- able (1, 2). The Standard Model prediction is found to be (1) Re(e ' /e) = (1.7 ±0.9) � 10 −3 , in good agreement with the most recent experimental measurements. A better estimate of the strange quark mass would reduce the uncertainty to about 30%.

Monte Carlo simulation for jet fragmentation in SUSY QCD
2000
We present results from a new Monte Carlo simulation for jet fragmentation in QCD and SUSY QCD for large primary energies $\sqrt s$ up to $10^{16}$ GeV. In the case of SUSY QCD the simulation takes into account not only gluons and quarks as cascading particles, but also their supersymmetric partners. A new model-independent hadronization scheme is developed, in which the hadronization functions are found from LEP data. An interesting feature of SUSY QCD is the prediction of a sizeable flux of the lightest supersymmetric particles (LSPs), if R-parity is conserved. About 10% of the jet energy is transferred to LSPs which, owing to their harder spectra, constitute an important part of the spec…
