This paper, written to mark the twentieth anniversary of the discovery of the top quark, offers
some insight into how the understanding of this heaviest known particle has developed from …

A bstract We present a phenomenological theory of scalar particles that transform as a sextet
and an octet of QCD interactions. These particles may arise as light bound states of a …

Natural supersymmetric theories of the weak scale are under growing pressure given
present LHC constraints, raising the question of whether untuned supersymmetric (SUSY) …

In this paper, we discuss the signal of composite spin-1 resonances at the LHC. Motivated
by the possible observation of a diboson resonance in the 8 TeV LHC data, we demonstrate …

A bstract We show that the recently reported excess in resonant diboson production can be
explained in the context of non-custodial composite Higgs models. Dibosons are generated …

The discovery of the Higgs boson brought us not only the anticipated answers about the
origin of particle masses but also raised the anticipated questions related to its small mass …

Many models of physics beyond the Standard Model predict new gauge bosons that decay
to a top quark pair or a top quark and a bottom quark. The most recent results from new …

We present a new technique for tagging heavy-flavor jets with p_T> 500 GeV called" mu_x
tagging." Current track-based methods of b-jet tagging lose efficiency and experience a …

The 7 and 8 TeV center-of-mass energy LHC run, even though unsuccessful in finding
physics beyond standard model (BSM), covered a large range of possible BSM signatures …

Many models beyond the Standard Model predict the existence of new massive gauge
bosons, including Z∨ and W∨, that preferentially couple to the third generation and in …
