Article Abstract

We propose a method for probing CP-violation in the heavy (pseudo)scalar sector of an extended Higgs model, in which we make simultaneous use of the ( ) and interactions of a heavy Higgs state . The CP-even component of can be probed through the tree-level interaction, while the CP-odd component of can be probed if the final pair can be tested to form a state. We can then confirm CP-violation if both CP-even and CP-odd components of are discovered. This is possible at the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) by exploiting production from vector-boson fusion (VBF) and decay to pairs. We analyze the distribution of the azimuthal angle between the leptons coming from top and antitop quarks, which allows one to disentangle the CP nature of such a heavy Higgs state. We also show its implications for the two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) with CP-violation.

A precise evaluation of the electroweak contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon requires control over all aspects of the standard model, ranging from Higgs physics, over multiloop computations for bosonic and (heavy-)fermion diagrams, to nonperturbative effects in the presence of light quarks. Currently, the dominant uncertainties arise from such hadronic effects in the vector-vector-axial-vector three-point function, an improved understanding of which has recently emerged in the context of hadronic light-by-light scattering. Profiting from these developments as well as new perturbative and nonperturbative input for the charm contribution, we obtain a_{μ}^{EW}=154.

We present a search for long-lived particles (LLPs), produced in kaon decays, that decay to two muons inside the ICARUS neutrino detector. This channel would be a signal of hidden sector models that can address outstanding issues in particle physics such as the strong CP problem and the microphysical origin of dark matter. The search is performed with data collected in the Neutrinos at the Main Injector (NuMI) beam at Fermilab corresponding to 2.

I review possible signals at hadron colliders of bileptons, namely doubly charged vectors or scalars with lepton number L=±2, as predicted by a 331 model, based on a SU(3)c×SU(3)L×U(1)X symmetry. In particular, I account for a version of the 331 model wherein the embedding of the hypercharge is obtained with the addition of three exotic quarks and vector bileptons. Furthermore, a sextet of SU(3)L, necessary to provide masses to leptons, yields an extra scalar sector, including a doubly charged Higgs, i.

The Tevatron collider led the World energy frontier program in particle physics during the late 20th and early 21st centuries. During this exciting period the standard model of particle physics was in its final stages of development and the search for physics beyond the standard model became one of the main research topics. In this review article we summarize the design and performance of the Tevatron collider and its two detectors, CDF and D0, as well as their evolution.
