Impact of extra particles on indirect Z' limits
We study the possibility of relaxing the indirect limits on extra neutral
vector bosons by their interplay with additional new particles. They can be
systematically weakened, even below present direct bounds at colliders, by the
addition of more vector bosons and/or scalars designed for this purpose.
Otherwise, they appear to be robust.Comment: Latex 23 pages, 8 eps figures. Minor changes, version published in

Electroweak Limits on General New Vector Bosons
We study extensions of the Standard Model with general new vector bosons. The
full Standard Model gauge symmetry is used to classify the extra vectors and
constrain their couplings. We derive the corresponding effective Lagrangian,
valid at energies lower than the mass of the extra vectors, and use it to
extract limits from electroweak precision observables, including LEP 2 data. We
consider both universal and nonuniversal couplings to fermions. We study the
interplay of several extra vectors, which can have the effect of opening new
regions in parameter space. In particular, it allows to explain the anomaly in
the bottom forward-backward asymmetry with perturbative couplings. Finally, we
analyze quantitatively the implications for the Higgs mass.Comment: Latex 50 pages, 12 eps figures. Typos fixed, comments and references

Looking for signals beyond the neutrino Standard Model
Any new neutrino physics at the TeV scale must include a suppression
mechanism to keep its contribution to light neutrino masses small enough. We
review some seesaw model examples with weakly broken lepton number, and comment
on the expected effects at large colliders and in neutrino oscillations.Comment: LaTeX 10 pages, 9 PS figures. Contribution to the Proceedings of the

Evidence for right-handed neutrinos at a neutrino factory
We emphasize that a muon based neutrino factory could show the existence of
light right-handed neutrinos, if a deficit in the number of detected events is
observed at a near detector. This could be as large as ~10% if the size of the
new interactions saturates the present limits from electroweak precision data,
what is not excluded by the oscillation experiments performed up to now. A
simple model realizing such a scenario can be obtained adding right-handed
neutrinos to the minimal Standard Model, together with an extra scalar doublet
and a triplet of hypercharge 1. In this case, however, the possible deficit is
reduced by a factor of ~3, and the Yukawa couplings must be adequately chosen.
This is also generically required if lepton flavour violation must be below
present bounds.Comment: Latex 18 pages, 2 eps figure
Model-Independent Searches for New Quarks at the LHC
New vector-like quarks can have sizable couplings to first generation quarks
without conflicting with current experimental constraints. The coupling with
valence quarks and unique kinematics make single production the optimal
discovery process. We perform a model-independent analysis of the discovery
reach at the Large Hadron Collider for new vector-like quarks considering
single production and subsequent decays via electroweak interactions. An early
LHC run with 7 TeV center of mass energy and 1 fb-1 of integrated luminosity
can probe heavy quark masses up to 1 TeV and can be competitive with the
Tevatron reach of 10 fb-1. The LHC with 14 TeV center of mass energy and 100
fb-1 of integrated luminosity can probe heavy quark masses up to 3.7 TeV for
order one couplings.Comment: 37 pages, 11 figures, 7 table
Modified spontaneous symmetry breaking pattern by brane-bulk interaction terms
We show how translational invariance can be broken by the vacuum that drives
the spontaneous symmetry breaking of extra-dimensional extensions of the
Standard Model, when delta-like interactions between brane and bulk scalar
fields are present. We explicitly build some examples of vacuum configurations,
which induce the spontaneous symmetry breaking, and have non trivial profile in
the extra coordinate.Comment: 13 pages, two figure
