-pair Production in the Littlest Higgs Model with T parity in next-to-leading order QCD at LHC
In the framework of the littlest Higgs model with parity, we study the
-pair production at the CERN Large Hadron Collider up to the QCD
next-to-leading order (NLO). The kinematic distributions of final decay
products and the theoretical dependence of the cross section on the
factorization/renormalization scale are analyzed. We adopt the PROSPINO scheme
in the QCD NLO calculations to avoid double counting and keep the convergence
of the perturbative QCD description. Our numerical results show that the QCD
NLO corrections significantly reduce the scale uncertainty, and enhance the
leading order integrated cross section with a -factor in the range of
() with the symmetry breaking scale varying from
() to () at the LHC.
We find that it is possible to select the signal events of the -pair
production from the
background with high ratio of signature over background by taking proper lower
limits on transverse momenta, invariant mass of the final charged leptons and
the missing transverse momentum.Comment: 34 pages, 14 figures, 4 table
Higgs Phenomenology of Minimal Universal Extra Dimensions
The minimal model of Universal Extra Dimensions (MUED) is briefly reviewed.
We explain how the cross-sections for Higgs production via gluon fusion and
decay into two photons are modified, relative the the Standard Model (SM)
values, by KK particles running in loops, leading to an enhancement of the gg
to h to two photons and gg to h to W+W- cross-sections. ATLAS and CMS searches
for the SM Higgs in these channels are reinterpreted in the context of MUED and
used to place new limits on the MUED parameter space. Only a small region of
between 1 and 3 GeV around mh = 125 GeV for 500 GeV < 1/R < 1600 GeV remains
open at the 95 % confidence level.Comment: Presented at the 2011 Hadron Collider Physics symposium (HCP-2011),

Tree Level Unitarity Bounds for the Minimal B-L Model
We have derived the unitarity bounds in the high energy limit for the minimal
B-L extension of the Standard Model by analysing the full class of Higgs and
would-be Goldstone boson two-to-two scatterings at tree level. Moreover, we
have investigated how these limits could vary at some lower critical value of
the energy.Comment: 20 pages, 4 figures, 2 tables; 1d figure modified, typos corrected,

The Z' boson of the minimal B-L model at future Linear Colliders in e+e- --> mu+mu-
We study the capabilities of future electron-positron Linear Colliders, with
centre-of-mass energy at the TeV scale, in accessing the parameter space of a
boson within the minimal model. We carry out a detailed comparison
between the discovery regions mapped over a two-dimensional configuration space
( mass and coupling) at the Large Hadron Collider and possible future
Linear Colliders for the case of di-muon production. As known in the literature
for other models, we confirm that leptonic machines, as compared to the
CERN hadronic accelerator, display an additional potential in discovering a
boson as well as in allowing one to study its properties at a level of
precision well beyond that of any of the existing colliders.Comment: 5 pages, proceeding of LC09 (Perugia), published by the Italian

Generalized Density Matrix Revisited: Microscopic Approach to Collective Dynamics in Soft Spherical Nuclei
The generalized density matrix (GDM) method is used to calculate
microscopically the parameters of the collective Hamiltonian. Higher order
anharmonicities are obtained consistently with the lowest order results, the
mean field [Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) equation] and the harmonic potential
[quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA)]. The method is applied to
soft spherical nuclei, where the anharmonicities are essential for restoring
the stability of the system, as the harmonic potential becomes small or
negative. The approach is tested in three models of increasing complexity: the
Lipkin model, model with factorizable forces, and the quadrupole plus pairing
model.Comment: submitted to Physical Review C on 08 May, 201

Production of Z' and W' via Drell-Yan processes in the 4D Composite Higgs Model at the LHC
We present an analysis of both the Neutral Current (NC) and Charged Current
(CC) Drell-Yan processes at the LHC within a 4 Dimensional realization of a
Composite Higgs model studying the cross sections and taking into account the
possible impact of the extra fermions present in the spectrum.Comment: Conference proceeding, XII IFAE Edition, 3-5 April 2013, Cagliari. 2

Nuclear Schiff moment in nuclei with soft octupole and quadrupole vibrations
Nuclear forces violating parity and time reversal invariance (-odd) produce -odd nuclear moments, for example, the
nuclear Schiff moment. In turn, this moment can induce the electric dipole
moment in the atom. The nuclear Schiff moment is predicted to be enhanced in
nuclei with static quadrupole and octupole deformation. The analogous
suggestion of the enhanced contribution to the Schiff moment from the soft
collective quadrupole and octupole vibrations in spherical nuclei is tested in
this article in the framework of the quasiparticle random phase approximation
with separable quadrupole and octupole forces applied to the odd Ra
and Rn isotopes. We confirm the existence of the enhancement effect
due to the soft modes. However, in the standard approximation the enhancement
is strongly reduced by a small weight of the corresponding "particle + phonon"
component in a complicated wave function of a soft nucleus. The perspectives of
a better description of the structure of heavy soft nuclei are discussed.Comment: 27 pages, 3 figures, minor corrections in references adde
