Model-independent framework for searches of top partners

M Buchkremer, G Cacciapaglia, A Deandrea, L Panizzi - Nuclear Physics B, 2013 - Elsevier
We propose a model-independent and general framework to study the LHC phenomenology
of top partners, ie vector-like quarks including particles with different electromagnetic …

Research Proposal for an Experiment to Search for the Decay {\mu}-> eee

A Blondel, A Bravar, M Pohl, S Bachmann… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2013 - arxiv.org
We propose an experiment (Mu3e) to search for the lepton flavour violating decay mu+-> e+
e-e+. We aim for an ultimate sensitivity of one in 10^ 16 mu-decays, four orders of magnitude …

Charged fermions below 100 GeV

D Egana-Ugrinovic, M Low, JT Ruderman - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract How light can a fermion be if it has unit electric charge? We revisit the lore that LEP
robustly excludes charged fermions lighter than about 100 GeV. We review LEP chargino …

Super-razor and searches for sleptons and charginos at the LHC

MR Buckley, JD Lykken, C Rogan, M Spiropulu - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
Direct searches for electroweak pair production of new particles at the LHC are a difficult
proposition, due to the large background and low signal cross sections. We demonstrate …

F Cei, D Nicolò - Advances in High Energy Physics, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Lepton Flavour Violation in the charged lepton sector (CLFV) is forbidden in the Minimal
Standard model and strongly suppressed in extensions of the model to include finite …

Direct chargino–neutralino production at the LHC: interpreting the exclusion limits in the complex MSSM

A Bharucha, S Heinemeyer… - The European Physical …, 2013 - Springer
