Abstract

This study introduces a beyond the Standard Model framework by adding a charged scalar particle, H_c, analogous to the charged Higgs in the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM), but analyzed without the restrictive constraints typically applied in 2HDM scenarios. To assess the impact of H_c on single top quark production, two approaches are taken. First, variations in the production cross-section via the s- and t-channels are examined under different values of the model parameters, compared to the SM predictions. Second, spin correlations are analyzed, focusing on differences in the spin of the mediated particle between the new model and SM in the single top quark production via the s-channel. Within the framework of the simplified phenomenological model considered here, a significant fraction of the parameter space can be constrained by combining the two approaches.

Unusual portals to new exotics, the $W$-gluon portal

We explore models where new light exotic (LEX) states interact with the Standard Model (SM) through the $W$-gluon portal, an asymmetric di-boson portal. The complete set of effective operators up to dimension six which couple a single LEX state to at least one $W$ boson and one gluon is considered. Other Standard Model particles may also be present in the interactions. We show that the $W$-gluon portal allows us to access a large array of exotic states in non-trivial representations of SU(3)$_\text{c}$ and SU(2)$_\text{L}$. New single production collider modes and phenomenological signatures for these light exotic states at the LHC and $ep$ colliders are discussed.

Unification of Gravity and Standard Model: Weyl-Dirac-Born-Infeld action

We construct a unified (quantum) description, by the gauge principle, of gravity and Standard Model (SM), that generalises the Dirac-Born-Infeld action to the SM and Weyl geometry, hereafter called Weyl-Dirac-Born-Infeld action (WDBI). The theory is formulated in $d =4-2ε$ dimensions. The WDBI action is a general gauge theory of SM and Weyl group (of dilatations and Poincaré symmetry), in the Weyl gauge covariant (metric!) formulation of Weyl geometry. The theory is SM and Weyl gauge invariant in $d=4-2ε$ dimensions and there is no Weyl anomaly. The WDBI action has the unique elegant feature, not present in other gauge theories or even in string theory, that it is mathematically well-defined in $d=4-2ε$ dimensions with no need to introduce in the action a UV regulator scale or field. This action actually {\it predicts} that gravity, through (Weyl covariant) space-time curvature $\hat R$, acts as UV regulator of both SM and gravity in $d=4$. A series expansion of the WDBI action (in dimensionless couplings) recovers in the leading order a Weyl gauge invariant version of SM and the Weyl (gauge theory of) quadratic gravity. The SM and Einstein-Hilbert gravity are recovered in the Stueckelberg broken phase of Weyl gauge symmetry, which restores Riemannian geometry below Planck scale. Sub-leading orders are suppressed by powers of (dimensionless) gravitational coupling ($ξ$) of Weyl quadratic gravity.
