Long-lived particles at the energy frontier: the MATHUSLA physics case

D Curtin, M Drewes, M McCullough… - Reports on progress …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
We examine the theoretical motivations for long-lived particle (LLP) signals at the LHC in a
comprehensive survey of standard model (SM) extensions. LLPs are a common prediction of …

Discovering uncolored naturalness in exotic Higgs decays

D Curtin, CB Verhaaren - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2015 - Springer
A bstract Solutions to the hierarchy problem usually require top partners. In standard SUSY
or composite Higgs theories, the partners carry SM color and are becoming increasingly …

A quirky probe of neutral naturalness

Z Chacko, D Curtin, CB Verhaaren - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We consider the signals arising from top partner pair production at the LHC as a probe of
theories of neutral naturalness. We focus on scenarios in which top partners carry …

Resurrecting the fraternal twin WIMP miracle

D Curtin, S Gryba, J Setford, D Hooper, J Scholtz - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
In twin Higgs models that contain the minimal particle content required to address the little
hierarchy problem (ie, fraternal models), the twin tau has been identified as a promising …

Data-driven Model-independent Searches for Long-lived Particles at the LHC

A Coccaro, D Curtin, HJ Lubatti, H Russell, J Shelton - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
Neutral long-lived particles (LLPs) are highly motivated by many beyond the Standard
Model scenarios, such as theories of supersymmetry, baryogenesis, and neutral …

Quirky explanations for the diphoton excess

D Curtin, CB Verhaaren - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We propose two simple quirk models to explain the recently reported 750 GeV diphoton
excesses at ATLAS and CMS. It is already well known that a real singlet scalar ϕ with …

Discovering the twin Higgs boson with displaced decays

C Kilic, S Najjari, CB Verhaaren - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
The twin Higgs mechanism keeps the scalar sector of the Standard Model (SM) natural while
remaining consistent with the nonobservation of new colored particles at the Large Hadron …

Displaced vertices from hidden glue

G Burdman, G Lichtenstein - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract We consider the phenomenology of glueball production and decay in theories with
hidden glue. We focus on the case of folded supersymmetry (FSUSY), where there is an …

From Dark Matter to Leptoquarks: Phenomenology of Physics Beyond the Standard Model

SK Gryba - 2022 - search.proquest.com
Abstract The Standard Model of particle physics began as a simple “Model of Leptons” in
1967, but after more than five decades of theoretical development and experimental scrutiny …
