N(N)LO event files: applications and prospects (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Maître, D., Heinrich, G., & Johnson, M. (2016). N(N)LO event files: applications and prospects. . https://doi.org/10.22323/1.260.0016

In this contribution we comment on the use of NLO n-Tuples and consider their extension to NNLO. As an application of n-Tuples we present preliminary results of a strong coupling extraction from a measurement of the production of Z +2,3,4 jets at the...

Creating the Baryon Asymmetry from Lepto-Bubbles (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pascoli, S., Turner, J., Zhou, Y., Lodovico, F. D., Pascoli, S., & Ballett, P. (2017). Creating the Baryon Asymmetry from Lepto-Bubbles. In Proceedings, Prospects in Neutrino Physics (NuPhys2016) : London, UK, December 12-14, 2016

We propose a new mechanism of baryogenesis which proceeds via a CP-violating phase transition. During this phase transition, the coupling of the Weinberg operator is dynamically realised and subsequently a lepton asymmetry is generated via the non-ze...

Flavour symmetric connections with CLFV (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Flavons are crucial for understanding lepton mixing in models with non-Abelian discrete symmetries. They also result in charged lepton flavour violation (CLFV) via the couplings with leptons. I emphasise that the flavon-triggered CLFV succeeds strong... Read More about Flavour symmetric connections with CLFV.

Matter, as we know it, makes up less than 5% of the Universe. Various astrophysical observations have confirmed that one quarter of the Universe and most of the matter content in the Universe is made up of Dark Matter. The nature of Dark Matter is ye...
