Central instanton production (2022)
Journal Article
Khoze, V., Khoze, V., Milne, D., & Ryskin, M. (2022). Central instanton production. Physical Review D, 105(3), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.105.036008

We study the central production of QCD instantons at hadron colliders in events with two large rapidity gaps. These gaps in rapidity are formed by either Pomeron or photon exchanges or a combination of the two. The kT-factorization formalism is used... Read More about Central instanton production.

Hunting for QCD instantons at the LHC in events with large rapidity gaps (2021)
Journal Article
Khoze, V., Khoze, V., Milne, D., & Ryskin, M. (2021). Hunting for QCD instantons at the LHC in events with large rapidity gaps. Physical Review D, 104(5), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.104.054013

We outline a strategy of how to search for QCD instantons of invariant mass 20–60 GeVin diffractive events in low-luminosity runs at the LHC. We show that, by imposing appropriate selection criteria on the final states, one can select the kinematic r...

Photo-production of a 750 GeV di-photon resonance mediated by Kaluza-Klein leptons in the loop (2016)
Journal Article
Abel, S., & Khoze, V. V. (2016). Photo-production of a 750 GeV di-photon resonance mediated by Kaluza-Klein leptons in the loop. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016(5), Article 063. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep05%282016%29063

We consider the phenomenology of a 750 GeV resonance X which can be produced at the LHC by only photon fusion and subsequently decay into di-photons. We propose that the spin-zero state X is coupled to a heavy lepton that lives in the bulk of a highe...

Dynamical breaking of U(1)_{R} and supersymmetry in a metastable vacuum (2008)
Journal Article
Abel, S., Durnford, C., Jaeckel, J., & Khoze, V. (2008). Dynamical breaking of U(1)_{R} and supersymmetry in a metastable vacuum. Physics Letters B, 661(2-3), 201-209. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2008.01.065

We consider the metastable N=1 QCD model of Intriligator, Seiberg and Shih (ISS), deformed by adding a baryon term to the superpotential. This simple deformation causes the spontaneous breaking of the approximate R-symmetry of the metastable vacuum....

Direct Mediation, Duality and Unification (2008)
Journal Article
Abel, S., & Khoze, V. (2008). Direct Mediation, Duality and Unification. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2008(11), https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2008/11/024

It is well-known that in scenarios with direct gauge mediation of supersymmetry breaking the messenger fields significantly affect the running of Standard Model couplings and introduce Landau poles which are difficult to avoid. This appears to remove... Read More about Direct Mediation, Duality and Unification.

Illuminating the hidden sector of string theory by shining light through a magnetic field. (2008)
Journal Article
Abel, S., Jaeckel, J., Khoze, V., & Ringwald, A. (2008). Illuminating the hidden sector of string theory by shining light through a magnetic field. Physics Letters B, 666(1), 66-70. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2008.03.076

Many models of physics beyond the Standard Model predict minicharged particles to which current and near future low-energy experiments are highly sensitive. Such minicharges arise generically from kinetic mixing in theories containing at least two U(...

SUSY breaking by a metastable ground state: Why the early universe preferred the non-supersymmetric vacuum (2007)
Journal Article
Abel, S. A., Chu, C., Jaeckel, J., & Khoze, V. V. (2007). SUSY breaking by a metastable ground state: Why the early universe preferred the non-supersymmetric vacuum. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2007(01), https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2007/01/089

Supersymmetry breaking in a metastable vacuum is re-examined in a cosmological context. It is shown that thermal effects generically drive the Universe to the metastable minimum even if it begins in the supersymmetry-preserving one. This is a generic...

A note on string interaction on the pp-wave background (2004)
Journal Article
Chu, C., Khoze, V., Petrini, M., Russo, R., & Tanzini, A. (2004). A note on string interaction on the pp-wave background. Classical and Quantum Gravity, 21(8), 1999-2009. https://doi.org/10.1088/0264-9381/21/8/006

We consider type IIB string interaction on the maximally supersymmetric pp-wave background and discuss how the bosonic symmetries of the background are realized. This analysis shows that there are some interesting differences with respect to the flat... Read More about A note on string interaction on the pp-wave background.

Correspondence between the 3-point BMN correlators and the 3-string vertex on the pp-wave (2003)
Journal Article

The PP-wave/SYM proposal in its original form emphasizes a duality relation between the masses of the string states and the anomalous dimensions of the corresponding BMN operators in gauge theory, the mass-dimension type duality. In this paper, we gi... Read More about Correspondence between the 3-point BMN correlators and the 3-string vertex on the pp-wave.
