Search for the standard model Higgs boson in tau final states
2009
We present a search for the standard model Higgs boson using hadronically decaying tau leptons, in 1 inverse femtobarn of data collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron ppbar collider. We select two final states: tau plus missing transverse energy and b jets, and tau+ tau- plus jets. These final states are sensitive to a combination of associated W/Z boson plus Higgs boson, vector boson fusion and gluon-gluon fusion production processes. The observed ratio of the combined limit on the Higgs production cross section at the 95% C.L. to the standard model expectation is 29 for a Higgs boson mass of 115 GeV.
Search for a Fermiophobic and Standard Model Higgs Boson in Diphoton Final States
2011
Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-29T01:13:49Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2011-10-05 National Science Foundation We present a search for the standard model Higgs boson and a fermiophobic Higgs boson in the diphoton final states based on 8.2fb-1 of pp̄ collisions at √s=1.96TeV collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. No excess of data above background predictions is observed and upper limits at the 95% C.L. on the cross section multiplied by the branching fraction are set which are the most restrictive to date. A fermiophobic Higgs boson with a mass below 112.9 GeV is excluded at the 95% C.L. © 2011 American Physical Society. Universidad de Bu…

Perturbative unitarity constraints on gauge portals
2017
Abstract Dark matter that was once in thermal equilibrium with the Standard Model is generally prohibited from obtaining all of its mass from the electroweak phase transition. This implies a new scale of physics and mediator particles to facilitate dark matter annihilation. In this work, we focus on dark matter that annihilates through a generic gauge boson portal. We show how partial wave unitarity places upper bounds on the dark gauge boson, dark Higgs and dark matter masses. Outside of well-defined fine-tuned regions, we find an upper bound of 9 TeV for the dark matter mass when the dark Higgs and dark gauge bosons both facilitate the dark matter annihilations. In this scenario, the uppe…
Search for the Higgs Boson in theH→WW→lνjjDecay Channel inppCollisions ats=7 TeVwith the ATLAS Detector
2011
A search for a Higgs boson has been performed in the H -> WW -> l nu jj channel in 1.04 fb(-1) of pp collision data at root s = 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No significant excess of events is observed over the expected background and limits on the Higgs boson production cross section are derived for a Higgs boson mass in the range 240 GeV WW production is 3.1 pb, or 2.7 times the standard model prediction.
SU(6) Grand Unification of 3-3-1 Model
2018
We discuss a sequential variant of the \(\mathrm { SU(3)_c \times SU(3)_L \times U(1)_X}\) model which fits within a minimal SU(6) grand unification. Interestingly, this minimal SU(6) embedding can allow a \(\mathrm { SU(3)_c \times SU(3)_L \times U(1)_X}\) symmetry breaking scale within the reach of LHC and with seesaw-type neutrino masses.
Search for a Standard Model Higgs Boson inWH→ℓvbb¯inpp¯Collisions ats=1.96 TeV
2009
We present a search for a standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a W boson using 2.7 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity of pp collision data taken at square root s = 1.96 TeV. Limits on the Higgs boson production rate are obtained for masses between 100 and 150 GeV/c(2). Through the use of multivariate techniques, the analysis achieves an observed (expected) 95% confidence level upper limit of 5.6 (4.8) times the theoretically expected production cross section for a standard model Higgs boson with a mass of 115 GeV/c(2).
Flavor Physics in SUSY Grand Unified Theories
2007
Within Supersymmetric Grand Unified theories with soft breaking terms arising at the Planck scale, it is generally possible to link Flavor Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) and CP violating processes occurring in the leptonic and hadronic sectors. So, a correlated analysis of low-energy observables in the leptonic and hadronic sectors, can provide indications of the existence of a Grand Unified theory at high energies. We show how bounds on leptonic FCNC involving the third generation translate into constraints on FCNC B decays. Moreover, we show that, besides FCNC transitions, also lepton-flavor (LF) universality tests in M l 2 decays (with M = π , K , B ), offer a unique opportunity to stud…
