Updated status of the global electroweak fit and constraints on new physics

Gfitter Group, M Baak, M Goebel, J Haller… - The European Physical …, 2012 - Springer
We present an update of the Standard Model fit to electroweak precision data. We include
newest experimental results on the top-quark mass, the W mass and width, and the Higgs …

Extra vectorlike matter and the lightest Higgs scalar boson mass in low-energy supersymmetry

SP Martin - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2010 - APS
The lightest Higgs scalar boson mass in supersymmetry can be raised significantly by extra
vectorlike quark and lepton supermultiplets with large Yukawa couplings but dominantly …

Light composite Higgs boson from higher representations versus electroweak precision measurements: predictions for CERN LHC

DD Dietrich, F Sannino, K Tuominen - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2005 - APS
We investigate theories in which the technifermions in higher dimensional representations of
the technicolor gauge group dynamically break the electroweak symmetry of the standard …

Four generations and Higgs physics

GD Kribs, T Plehn, M Spannowsky, TMP Tait - Physical Review D—Particles …, 2007 - APS
In the light of the LHC, we revisit the implications of a fourth generation of chiral matter. We
identify a specific ensemble of particle masses and mixings that are in agreement with all …

Collider aspects of flavor physics at high Q

T Lari, L Pape, W Porod, JA Aguilar-Saavedra… - The European Physical …, 2008 - Springer
This chapter of the “Flavor in the era of LHC” workshop report discusses flavor-related
issues in the production and decays of heavy states at the LHC at high momentum transfer …

Is Vtb≃1?

J Alwall, R Frederix, JM Gerard, A Giammanco… - The European Physical …, 2007 - Springer
The strongest constraint on V tb presently comes from the 3× 3 unitarity of the CKM matrix,
which fixes V tb to be very close to one. If unitarity is relaxed, current information from top …

Constraints on a fourth generation of fermions from Higgs Boson searches

A Lenz - Advances in High Energy Physics, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
We review the past and current status of the extension of the standard model (SM) by a
fourth generation of fermions. In particular the new results for Higgs boson searches at the …

Strong interactive massive particles from a strong coupled theory

MY Khlopov, C Kouvaris - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation …, 2008 - APS
Minimal walking technicolor models can provide a nontrivial solution for cosmological dark
matter, if the lightest technibaryon is doubly charged. Technibaryon asymmetry generated in …

Composite dark matter from the fourth generation

MY Khlopov - JETP letters, 2006 - Springer
The hypothesis of a heavy stable quark of the fourth family can provide a nontrivial solution
for cosmological dark matter if baryon asymmetry in the fourth family has a negative sign and …

Less space for a new family of fermions

O Eberhardt, A Lenz, J Rohrwild - … Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2010 - APS
We investigate the experimentally allowed parameter space of an extension of the standard
model (SM3) by one additional family of fermions. Therefore we extend our previous study of …
