Lepton flavor violation beyond the MSSM [PDF]
Most extensions of the Standard Model lepton sector predict large lepton flavor violating rates. Given the promising experimental perspectives for lepton flavor violation in the next few years, this generic expectation might offer a powerful indirect ...

A perspective on Quantum Gravity Phenomenology [PDF]
I give a brief overview of some Quantum-Gravity-Phenomenology research lines, focusing on studies of cosmic rays and gamma-ray bursts that concern the fate of Lorentz symmetry in quantum spacetime.

Vector unparticle enhanced black holes: exact solutions and thermodynamics [PDF]
Tensor and scalar unparticle couplings to matter have been shown to enhance gravitational interactions and provide corrections to the Schwarzschild metric and associated black hole structure.

Gravitational waves at aLIGO and vacuum stability with a scalar singlet extension of the Standard Model [PDF]
A new gauge singlet scalar field can undergo a strongly first-order phase transition (PT) leading to gravitational waves (GW) potentially observable at aLIGO and simultaneously stabilize the electroweak vacuum.

On a Missed Mechanism of Dielectron Production in Nucleon-Nucleon Collisions
We examine a new mechanism of $e^+e^-$ pair production in $NN$ collisions associated with the $NN$-decoupled dibaryon $d^\star_1$(1956) formation in the process $NN \to \gamma^\star d^\star_1$, where $\gamma^\star$ is the virtual photon which converts ...

There is a non-trivial four-derivative extension of the gravitational spectrum that is free of ghosts and phenomenologically viable. It is the so called $R^2$-gravity since it is defined by the only addition of a term proportional to the square of the ...

In the quantum-gravity literature there has been interest in the possibility that quantum properties of spacetime might affect the energy/momentum dispersion relation.

Phenomenology of TeV-scale scalar Leptoquarks in the EFT
We examine new aspects of leptoquark (LQ) phenomenology using effective field theory (EFT). We construct a complete set of leading effective operators involving SU(2) singlets scalar LQ and the SM fields up to dimension six.

This article discusses the status of string physics where the string tension is around the TeV scale. The article covers model building basics for perturbative strings, based on D-brane configurations. The effective low energy physics description of such

TASI 2009 Lectures: Searching for Unexpected Physics at the LHC [PDF]
These TASI lectures consider low mass hidden sectors from Hidden Valleys, Quirks and Unparticles. We show how each corresponds to a different limit of the same class of models: hidden sectors with non-abelian gauge groups with mass gaps well below a TeV ...
