Session 2
- Nuno Castro (LIP and University of Minho)
In this talk, I will discuss non-minimal predictions from the composite Higgs framework and the corresponding phenomenology. I will focus on collider signals of heavy leptons and novel top decays via a FCNC interaction.
The measurements of the Higgs signal strengths are turning out to be very SM-like at LHC experiments. As the precision increases, the parameter space of several BSM models is starting to shrink considerably. This is puzzling, as there is evidence that the SM cannot be the whole story: the massiveness of neutrinos, the strong hypothesis of Dark Matter, the small amount of CP-violation for...
The study of the top quark properties provides not only an important test of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics but also an excellent way of probing physics beyond it. In the SM the top quark decays via Flavour Changing Neutral Currents (FCNC) have extremely small branching ratios but some extensions predict a significant enhancement of the probability for such decays. The PhD thesis...
