Parallel session on Electroweak Interacsions and Higgs physics
LHCb has made a series of searches sensitive to Higgs-like bosons and their decays. These analyses include searches for long-lived particles produced in the decays of such resonances, with these particles decaying to various final states probed in different analyses, and a search for Higgs-like bosons that produce lepton-flavour-violating decays, producing a tau mu final state. The unique...
The latest results on production of Higgs boson pairs at 13 TeV by the ATLAS experiment are reported, including a combination of six different decay modes. Results include bbtautau, bbbb, bbgamgam, bbWW, WWWW and WWgamgam final states, and they are interpreted both in terms of sensitivity to the SM and as limits on kappa_lambda, a scaling of the triple-Higgs interaction strength.
Testing the couplings of the Higgs boson to quarks is important to understand the origin of quark masses. The talk presents cross section measurements in Higgs boson decays to two b quarks, as well as a search for Higgs boson decays to two c quarks. It also presents measurements of Higgs boson production in association with a ttbar pair using Higgs boson decays to bbbar pairs, to two Z bosons,...
Our work deals with a left-right symmetric leptogenesis framework in which light neutrino masses and the generation of a baryon asymmetry in the universe (BAU) are dominated by a type-II seesaw contribution. With an additional SO(10)-inspired relation between neutrino Dirac mass and up-quark mass matrix the model's parameter space can be reduced to a few variables that separate nicely into...
The most precise measurements of Higgs boson cross sections, using the framework of simplified template cross sections, are obtained from a combination of measurements performed in the different Higgs boson decay channels. This talk presents the combined measurements, as well as their interpretation, which also takes into account results of searches for H->invisible decays as well as off-shell...
Despite the absence of experimental evidence, weak scale supersymmetry remains one of the best motivated and studied Standard Model extensions. This talk summarizes recent ATLAS results on searches for supersymmetric squarks and gluinos, including third generation squarks produced directly or via decay of gluinos. The searches involve final states containing jets (possibly identified as coming...
The $SU(2)\bigotimes U(1) $ gauge model unifying
the electromagnetic and weak interactions, which is initially free of the auxiliary self-interaction scalar field, is developed. We narrow the initial symmetry up to $SU_L(2)\bigotimes U_R(1) $ by eliminating the right neutrinos current from the Lagrangian by means of the bosonization of this current into the $SU(2)$ current of the charged...
With Higgs measurement prospects reaching the per-mille level at future lepton colliders, the interplay between the Higgs and electroweak sectors of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory is expected to become relevant. We investigate the impact of electroweak uncertainties in Higgs coupling determination and examine what electroweak measurements are needed to achieve the full potential of...
The features of the NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS – high-intensity setup, trigger-system flexibility, high-frequency tracking of beam particles, redundant particle identification, and ultra-high-efficiency photon vetoes – make NA62 particularly suitable to search for long-lived, weakly-coupled particles within Beyond the Standard Model physics.
Searches for Heavy Neutral Lepton (HNL)...
Highlights of latest measurements of Higgs boson properties at CMS will be presented
Higlights from recent searches for additional Higgs bosons at CMS will be presented.
Many supersymmetry models feature gauginos and sleptons with masses less than a few hundred GeV. These can give rise to direct pair production rates at the LHC that can be observed in the data sample recorded by the ATLAS detector. R-parity violation introduces many viable signatures to the search for supersymmetry at the LHC. Supersymmetric particles may decay into many leptons or jets with...
Results from LHCb on top production in the forward region are presented. LHCb provides unique coverage at forward rapidities at the LHC, and measurements at LHCb probe a unique kinematic range, providing novel constraints on parton distribution functions. The potential for future measurements at LHCb, following major upgrades that will enable the collection of integrated luminosities of at...
