Title Generalized Ashtekar variables for Palatini f(R) models Type Journal Article
Year 2021 Publication Nuclear Physics B Abbreviated Journal Nucl. Phys. B
Volume 963 Issue Pages (down) 115281 - 21pp
Keywords
Abstract We consider special classes of Palatini f(R) theories, featured by additional Loop Quantum Gravity inspired terms, with the aim of identifying a set of modified Ashtekar canonical variables, which still preserve the SU(2) gauge structure of the standard theory. In particular, we allow for affine connection to be endowed with torsion, which turns out to depend on the additional scalar degree affecting Palatini f( R) gravity, and in this respect we successfully construct a novel Gauss constraint. We analyze the role of the additional scalar field, outlining as it acquires a dynamical character by virtue of a non vanishing Immirzi parameter, and we describe some possible effects on the area operator stemming from such a revised theoretical framework. Finally, we compare our results with earlier studies in literature, discussing differences between metric and Palatini approaches. It is worth noting how the Hamiltonian turns out to be different in the two cases. The results can be reconciled when the analysis is performed in the Einstein frame.

Title LHC bounds on colored scalars Type Journal Article
Year 2019 Publication Physical Review D Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. D
Volume 100 Issue 11 Pages (down) 115042 - 11pp
Keywords
Abstract We analyze the constraints on colored scalar bosons imposed by the current LHC data at root s = 13 TeV. Specifically, we consider an additional electroweak doublet of color-octet scalars, satisfying the principle of minimal flavor violation in order to fulfill the stringent experimental limits on flavor-changing neutral currents. We demonstrate that colored scalars with masses below 800 GeV are already excluded, provided they are not fermiophobic.

Title Correlations and degeneracies among the NSI parameters with tunable beams at DUNE Type Journal Article
Year 2019 Publication Physical Review D Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. D
Volume 99 Issue 11 Pages (down) 115032 - 19pp
Keywords
Abstract The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a leading experiment in neutrino physics which is presently under construction. DUNE aims to measure the yet unknown parameters in the three flavor oscillation scenario which includes discovery of leptonic CP violation, determination of the mass hierarchy and determination of the octant of theta(23). Additionally, the ancillary goals of DUNE include probing the subdominant effects induced by new physics. A widely studied new physics scenario is that of nonstandard neutrino interactions (NSI) in propagation which impacts the oscillations of neutrinos. We consider some of the essential NSI parameters impacting the oscillation signals at DUNE and explore the space of NSI parameters as well as study their correlations among themselves and with the yet unknown CP violating phase, delta appearing in the standard paradigm. The experiment utilizes a wide band beam and provides us with a unique opportunity to utilize different beam tunes at DUNE. We demonstrate that combining information from different beam tunes (low energy and medium energy) available at DUNE impacts the ability to probe some of these parameters and leads to altering the allowed regions in two-dimensional space of parameters considered.

Title Consistency of the dynamical high-scale type-I seesaw mechanism Type Journal Article
Year 2020 Publication Physical Review D Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. D
Volume 101 Issue 11 Pages (down) 115030 - 15pp
Keywords
Abstract We analyze the consistency of electroweak breaking within the simplest high-scale SU(3)(c) circle times SU(2)(L) circle times U(1)(Y) type-I seesaw mechanism. We derive the full two-loop renormalization group equations of the relevant parameters, including the quartic Higgs self-coupling of the Standard Model. For the simplest case of bare “right-handed” neutrino mass terms we find that, with large Yukawa couplings, the Higgs quartic self-coupling becomes negative much below the seesaw scale, so that the model may be inconsistent even as an effective theory. We show, however, that the “dynamical” type-I high-scale seesaw with spontaneous lepton number violation has better stability properties.

Title Probing the minimal U(1)(X) model at future electron positron colliders via fermion pair-production channels Type Journal Article
Year 2022 Publication Physical Review D Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. D
Volume 105 Issue 11 Pages (down) 115030 - 28pp
Keywords
Abstract The minimal U(1)(X) extension of the Standard Model (SM) is a well-motivated new physics scenario, where anomaly cancellation dictates new neutral gauge boson (Z') couplings with the SM fermions in terms of the U(1)(X) charges of the new scalar fields. We investigate the SM charged fermion pair-production process for different values of these U(1)(X) charges at future e(-)e(+) colliders: e(+)e(-) -> f (f) over bar Apart from the standard gamma and Z-mediated processes, this model features additional s-channel (or both s and t-channel when f = e(-)) Z' exchange which interferes with the SM processes. We first estimate the bounds on the U(1)(X) coupling (g') and the Z' mass (M-Z') considering the latest dilepton and dijet constraints from the heavy resonance searches at the LHC. Then using the allowed values of g', we study the angular distributions, forward-backward (A(FB)), left-right (A(LB)), and left-right forward-backward (A(LR-FB)) asymmetries of the final states. We fmd that these observables can show substantial deviations from the SM results in the U(1)(X) model, thus providing a powerful probe of the multi-TeV Z' bosons at future e(+)e(-) colliders.
