With the increase in energy of the Large Hadron Collider to a centre-of-mass energy of 13
TeV TeV for Run 2, events with dense environments, such as in the cores of high-energy …

We critically review the role of cosmological moduli in determining the post-inflationary
history of the universe. Moduli are ubiquitous in string and M-theory constructions of beyond …

In this review, we consider a general theoretical framework for fermionic color-singlet states—
including a singlet, a doublet, and a triplet under the Standard Model SU (2) L gauge …

The purely electroweak (EW) cross section for the production of two jets in association with a
Z boson, in proton–proton collisions at\(\sqrt {s}= 8\,\text {TeV}\), is measured using data …

A search for new physics is performed based on all-hadronic events with large missing
transverse momentum produced in proton–proton collisions at s= 13 TeV. The data sample …

We perform a feasibility study to search for axionlike particles (ALPs) using vector boson
fusion (VBF) processes at the LHC. We work in an effective field theory framework with a …

A bstract A search for supersymmetric particles produced in the vector boson fusion topology
in proton-proton collisions is presented. The search targets final states with one or zero …

Leptoquarks with mass in the region of 550–650 GeV are a possible candidate for the recent
excess seen by CMS in the eejj and e ν jj channels. We discuss models where leptoquarks …

A bstract The Dimension-5 Seesaw Portal is a Type-I Seesaw model extended by d= 5
operators involving the sterile neutrino states, leading to new interactions between all …

The first search for supersymmetry in events with an experimental signature of one soft,
hadronically decaying τ lepton, one energetic jet from initial-state radiation, and large …
