-channel) messenger fields: scalar, pseudoscalar, vector or axial-vector. Our analysis extends and updates the previously available results for the LHC at 8 and 14 TeV to 100 TeV for models with all four messenger types. We revisit and improve the an...

We investigate simplified models of dark matter with scalar mediators at hadron colliders using the final state topology with two jets and missing energy. These models can arise in a wide variety of BSM scenarios including the possibility of the medi... Read More about Spectroscopy of scalar mediators to dark matter at the LHC and at 100 TeV.

This document a outlines a set of simplified models for dark matter and its interactions with Standard Model particles. It is intended to summarize the main characteristics that these simplified models have when applied to dark matter searches at the...

Diagrammatic computation of multi-Higgs processes at very high energies: scaling logσn with MadGraph (2015)
Journal Article
Khoze, V. V. (2015). Diagrammatic computation of multi-Higgs processes at very high energies: scaling logσn with MadGraph. Physical Review D, 92(1), Article 014021. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.92.014021

At very high energies scattering amplitudes in a spontaneously broken gauge theory into multiparticle final states are known to grow factorially with the number of particles produced. Using simple scalar field theory models with and without the vacuu... Read More about Diagrammatic computation of multi-Higgs processes at very high energies: scaling logσn with MadGraph.

Upper limit on the scale of new physics phenomena from rising cross sections in high multiplicity Higgs and vector boson events (2015)
Journal Article
Jaeckel, J., & Khoze, V. V. (2015). Upper limit on the scale of new physics phenomena from rising cross sections in high multiplicity Higgs and vector boson events. Physical Review D, 91, Article 093007. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.91.093007

In very high energy scattering events, production of multiple Higgs and electroweak gauge bosons becomes possible. Indeed the perturbative cross section for these processes grows with increasing energy, eventually violating perturbative unitarity. In...

Using the classical recursion relations we compute scattering amplitudes in a spontaneously broken Gauge-Higgs theory into final states involving high multiplicities of massive vector bosons and Higgs bosons. These amplitudes are computed in the kine... Read More about Perturbative growth of high-multiplicity W, Z and Higgs production processes at high energies.

In a secluded dark sector which is coupled to the Standard Model via a Higgs portal interaction we arrange for the existence of ’t Hooft-Polyakov magnetic monopoles and study their implications for cosmology.
