Title Higgs Lepton Flavor Violating Decays in Two Higgs Doublet Models Type Journal Article
Year 2019 Publication Frontiers in Physics Abbreviated Journal Front. Physics
Volume 7 Issue Pages 174 - 13pp
Keywords Higgs boson; lepton flavor violating decays; beyond the standard model; two Higgs doublet models; effective field theory
Abstract The discovery of a non-zero rate for a lepton flavor violating decay mode of the Higgs boson would definitely be an indication of New Physics. We review the prospects for such signal in Two Higgs Doublet Models, in particular for Higgs boson decays into tau μfinal states. We will show that this scenario contains all the necessary ingredients to provide large flavor violating rates and still be compatible with the stringent limits from direct searches and low-energy flavor experiments.

Title From the Trees to the Forest: A Review of Radiative Neutrino Mass Models Type Journal Article
Year 2017 Publication Frontiers in Physics Abbreviated Journal Front. Physics
Volume 5 Issue Pages 63 - 56pp
Keywords neutrino masses; lepton flavor violation; lepton number violation; beyond the standard model; effective field theory; model building; LHC; dark matter
Abstract A plausible explanation for the lightness of neutrino masses is that neutrinos are massless at tree level, with their mass (typically Majorana) being generated radiatively at one or more loops. The new couplings, together with the suppression coming from the loop factors, imply that the new degrees of freedom cannot be too heavy (they are typically at the TeV scale). Therefore, in these models there are no large mass hierarchies and they can be tested using different searches, making their detailed phenomenological study very appealing. In particular, the new particles can be searched for at colliders and generically induce signals in lepton-flavor and lepton-number violating processes (in the case of Majorana neutrinos), which are not independent from reproducing correctly the neutrino masses and mixings. The main focus of the review is on Majorana neutrinos. We order the allowed theory space from three different perspectives: (i) using an effective operator approach to lepton number violation, (ii) by the number of loops at which the Weinberg operator is generated, (iii) within a given loop order, by the possible irreducible topologies. We also discuss in more detail some popular radiative models which involve qualitatively different features, revisiting their most important phenomenological implications. Finally, we list some promising avenues to pursue.

Title A facility to search for hidden particles at the CERN SPS: the SHiP physics case Type Journal Article
Year 2016 Publication Reports on Progress in Physics Abbreviated Journal Rep. Prog. Phys.
Volume 79 Issue 12 Pages 124201 - 137pp
Keywords beyond the standard model physics; intensity frontier experiment; hidden sectors; heavy neutral leptons; dark photons
Abstract This paper describes the physics case for a new fixed target facility at CERN SPS. The SHiP (search for hidden particles) experiment is intended to hunt for new physics in the largely unexplored domain of very weakly interacting particles with masses below the Fermi scale, inaccessible to the LHC experiments, and to study tau neutrino physics. The same proton beam setup can be used later to look for decays of tau-leptons with lepton flavour number non-conservation, tau -> 3 μand to search for weakly-interacting sub-GeV dark matter candidates. We discuss the evidence for physics beyond the standard model and describe interactions between new particles and four different portals-scalars, vectors, fermions or axion-like particles. We discuss motivations for different models, manifesting themselves via these interactions, and how they can be probed with the SHiP experiment and present several case studies. The prospects to search for relatively light SUSY and composite particles at SHiP are also discussed. We demonstrate that the SHiP experiment has a unique potential to discover new physics and can directly probe a number of solutions of beyond the standard model puzzles, such as neutrino masses, baryon asymmetry of the Universe, dark matter, and inflation.

Title Direct CP violation in K-0 -> pi pi : Standard Model Status Type Journal Article
Year 2018 Publication Reports on Progress in Physics Abbreviated Journal Rep. Prog. Phys.
Volume 81 Issue 7 Pages 076201 - 22pp
Keywords Kaon decays; CP violation; Standard Model
Abstract In 1988 the NA31 experiment presented the first evidence of direct CP violation in the K-0 -> pi pi decay amplitudes. A clear signal with a 7.2 sigma statistical significance was later established with the full data samples from the NA31, E731, NA48 and KTeV experiments, confirming that CP violation is associated with a Delta S = 1 quark transition, as predicted by the Standard Model. However, the theoretical prediction for the measured ratio epsilon'/epsilon has been a subject of strong controversy along the years. Although the underlying physics was already clarified in 2001, the recent release of improved lattice data has revived again the theoretical debate. We review the current status, discussing in detail the different ingredients that enter into the calculation of this observable and the reasons why seemingly contradictory predictions were obtained in the past by several groups. An update of the Standard Model prediction is presented and the prospects for future improvements are analysed. Taking into account all known short-distance and long-distance contributions, one obtains Re (epsilon' / epsilon) = (15 +/- 7) . 10(-4), in good agreement with the experimental measurement.

Title Novel theoretical constraints for color-octet scalar models Type Journal Article
Year 2019 Publication Chinese Physics C Abbreviated Journal Chin. Phys. C
Volume 43 Issue 9 Pages 093101 - 11pp
Keywords beyond the Standard Model; extension of Higgs sector; EW symmetry breaking
Abstract We study the theoretical constraints on a model whose scalar sector contains one color octet and one or two color singlet SU(2)(L) doublets. To ensure unitarity of the theory, we constrain the parameters of the scalar potential for the first time at the next-to-leading order in perturbation theory. Moreover, we derive new conditions guaranteeing the stability of the potential. We employ the HEPfit package to extract viable parameter regions at the electroweak scale and test the stability of the renormalization group evolution up to the multi-TeV region. Furthermore, we set upper limits on the scalar mass splittings. All results are given for both cases with and without a second scalar color singlet.
