Probing the type-II seesaw mechanism through the production of Higgs bosons at a lepton collider (2018)
Journal Article

We investigate the production and decays of doubly-charged Higgs bosons for the Type-II seesaw mechanism at an eþe− collider with two center of mass energies, ffiffiffi s p ¼ 380 GeV and 3 TeV, and analyze the fully hadronic final states in detail.

Top quark FCNCs in extended Higgs sectors (2018)
Journal Article

The large number of top quarks produced at the LHC and possible future hadron colliders allows to study rare decays of this particle. In many well motivated models of new physics, for example in non-minimal compositeHiggs models, the existence of sca... Read More about Top quark FCNCs in extended Higgs sectors.

Low-mass dark matter search with CDMSlite (2018)
Journal Article

The SuperCDMS experiment is designed to directly detect weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) that may constitute the dark matter in our Galaxy. During its operation at the Soudan Underground Laboratory, germanium detectors were run in the CDM... Read More about Low-mass dark matter search with CDMSlite.

On neutrino mixing in matter and CP and T violation effects in neutrino oscillations (2018)
Journal Article

Aspects of 3-neutrino mixing and oscillations in vacuum and in matter with constant density are investigated working with a real form of the neutrino Hamiltonian. We find the (approximate) equalities θm23= θ23and δm=δ, θ23(θm23) and δ (δm) being respe... Read More about On neutrino mixing in matter and CP and T violation effects in neutrino oscillations.

Monojet signatures from heavy colored particles: future collider sensitivities and theoretical uncertainties (2018)
Journal Article

In models with colored particle Q that can decay into a dark matter candidate X, the relevant collider process pp → QQ¯ → X X¯ + jets gives rise to events with significant transverse momentum imbalance. When the masses of Q and X are very close, the... Read More about Monojet signatures from heavy colored particles: future collider sensitivities and theoretical uncertainties.

Z's in neutrino scattering at DUNE (2019)
Journal Article

Novel leptophilic neutral currents can be tested at upcoming neutrino oscillation experiments using two complementary processes, neutrino trident production and neutrino-electron (ν − e) elastic scattering. Considering generic anomaly-free Uð1Þ exten... Read More about Z's in neutrino scattering at DUNE.

Complexity and typical microstates (2019)
Journal Article

Typical black hole microstates in AdS=CFT were recently conjectured to have a geometrical dual with a smooth horizon and a portion of a second asymptotic region. I consider the application of the holographic complexity conjectures to this geometry. T... Read More about Complexity and typical microstates.

Surrogate models for direct dark matter detection (2018)
Journal Article

In this work we introduce RAPIDD, a surrogate model that speeds up the computation of the expected spectrum of dark matter particles in direct detection experiments. RAPIDD replaces the exact calculation of the dark matter differential rate (which in... Read More about Surrogate models for direct dark matter detection.

Associated production of a Higgs boson at NNLO (2016)
Journal Article

In this paper we present a Next-to-Next-to Leading Order (NNLO) calculation of the production of a Higgs boson in association with a massive vector boson. We include the decays of the unstable Higgs and vector bosons, resulting in a fully flexible pa... Read More about Associated production of a Higgs boson at NNLO.

Interference effects for Higgs boson mediatedZ-pair plus jet production (2014)
Journal Article

We study interference effects in the production channel Z Z + jet , in particular focusing on the role of the Higgs boson. This production channel receives contributions both from Higgs boson mediated diagrams via the decay H → Z Z (signal diagrams),...

Journal Article

Motivated by TeV-scale neutrino mass models, we propose a systematic treatment of heavy neutrino (N) production at hadron colliders.

A Monte Carlo approach to the 4D scattering equations (2018)
Journal Article

The scattering equation formalism is a general framework for calculation of amplitudes in theories of massless particles. We provide a detailed introduction to the 4D scattering equation framework accessible to non-experts, outline current difficulti...

Effective alignments as building blocks of flavor models (2018)
Journal Article

Flavor models typically rely on flavons—scalars that break the family symmetry by acquiring vacuum expectation values in specific directions. We develop the idea of effective alignments, i.e., cases where the contractions of multiple flavons give ris... Read More about Effective alignments as building blocks of flavor models.

All-in-one relaxion: A unified solution to five particle-physics puzzles (2019)
Journal Article

We present a unified relaxion solution to the five major outstanding issues in particle physics: Higgs mass naturalness, dark matter, matter-antimatter asymmetry, neutrino masses and the strong CP problem. The only additional field content in our con... Read More about All-in-one relaxion: A unified solution to five particle-physics puzzles.

Vortices and Vermas (2018)
Journal Article

In three-dimensional gauge theories, monopole operators create and destroy vortices. We explore this idea in the context of 3d N=4 gauge theories in the presence of an Ω-background. In this case, monopole operators generate a non-commutative algebra... Read More about Vortices and Vermas.

Twisted Hilbert spaces of 3d supersymmetric gauge theories (2018)
Journal Article

We study aspects of 3d N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories on the product of a line and a Riemann surface. Performing a topological twist along the Riemann surface leads to an effective supersymmetric quantum mechanics on the line. We propose a constru...

Elastic and diffractive scattering at the LHC (2018)
Journal Article

Inspired by the new TOTEM data on elastic pp scattering at 13 TeV, we study the possibility to describe all the diffractive collider data (, , ) in a wide interval of energy (0.0625 to 13 TeV) in the framework of a two-channel eikonal model. We show... Read More about Elastic and diffractive scattering at the LHC.

Journal Article

Future direct searches for low-mass dark matter particles with germanium detectors, such as SuperCDMS SNOLAB, are expected to be limited by backgrounds from radioactive isotopes activated by cosmogenic radiation inside the germanium.

Behavior of composite resonances breaking lepton flavor universality (2018)
Journal Article

Within the context of composite Higgs models, recent hints on lepton flavor nonuniversality in B decays can be explained by a vector resonance V with sizeable couplings to the Standard Model leptons ( ℓ ). We argue that, in such a case, spin- 1 / 2 l... Read More about Behavior of composite resonances breaking lepton flavor universality.
