The LHC has provided an unprecedented amount of proton–proton collision data, bringing
forth exciting opportunities to address fundamental open questions in particle physics …

We review the theoretical underpinning of the Higgs mechanism of electroweak symmetry
breaking and the experimental status of Higgs measurements from a pedagogical …

Half a century after its formulation, the Standard Model (SM) is by now the established theory
of Electro-Weak (EW) and Strong interactions, the discovery of the Higgs boson being the …

A bstract We introduce a model-independent strategy to study narrow resonances which we
apply to a heavy vector triplet of the Standard Model (SM) group for illustration. The method …

We obtain constraints on the mixing of vectorlike quarks coupling predominantly to the third
generation. We consider all (seven) relevant types of vectorlike quarks, individually. The …

For the closing article in this volume on supersymmetry, we consider the alternative options
to SUSY theories: we present an overview of composite Higgs models in light of the …

A bstract A search is presented for pair production of heavy vector-like T and B quarks in
proton-proton collisions at\(\sqrt {s}= 13\) TeV. The data sample corresponds to an integrated …

A bstract A search is presented for vector-like T and B quark-antiquark pairs produced in
proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Data were collected by the …

A bstract Run 2 LHC data show hints of a new resonance in the diphoton distribution at an
invariant mass of 750 GeV. We analyse the data in terms of a new boson, extracting …

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 …
