Resonant production of the fourth family slepton at the LHC

The resonant production of the fourth family slepton ~l_4 via R-parity violating interactions of supersymmetry at the Large Hadron Collider has been investigated. We study the decay mode of ~l_4 into the fourth family neutrino nu_4 and W boson. The signal will be a like-sign dimuon and dijet if the fourth family neutrino has Majorana nature. We discuss the constraints on the R-parity violating couplings lambda and lambda' of the fourth family charged slepton at the LHC with the center of mass energies of 7, 10 and 14 TeV.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, 4 table

Anomalous resonant production of the fourth family up type quarks at the LHC

Considering the present limits on the masses of fourth family quarks from the Tevatron experiments, the fourth family quarks are expected to have mass larger than the top quark. Due to their expected large mass they could have different dynamics than the quarks of three families of the Standard Model. The resonant production of the fourth family up type quark t' has been studied via anomalous production subprocess gq_i-->t' (where q_i=u,c) at the LHC with the center of mass energy 10 TeV and 14 TeV. The signatures of such process are discussed within the SM decay modes. The sensitivity to anomalous coupling \kappa/\Lambda=0.1 TeV^(-1) can be reached at \sqrt{s}=10 TeV and L_int=100 pb^(-1).Comment: 14 pages, 13 figures, 7 table

Probing Charged Higgs Boson Couplings at the FCC-hh Collider

Many of the new physics models predicts a light Higgs boson similar to the Higgs boson of the Standard Model (SM) and also extra scalar bosons. Beyond the search channels for a SM Higgs boson, the future collider experiments will explore additional channels that are specific to extended Higgs sectors. We study the charged Higgs boson production within the framework of two Higgs doublet models (THDM) in the proton-proton collisions at the FCC-hh collider. With an integrated luminosity of 500 fb$^{-1}$ at very high energy frontier, we obtain a significant coverage of the parameter space and distinguish the charged Higgs-top-bottom interaction within the THDM or other new physics models with charged Higgs boson mass up to 1 TeV.Comment: 22 pages, 26 figures, 6 table

Top quark FCNC couplings at future circular hadron electron colliders

A study of single top quark production via flavor changing neutral current interactions at $tq\gamma$ vertices is performed at future circular hadron electron collider. The signal cross sections for the processes $e^{-}p\to e^{-}W^{\pm}q+X$ and $e^{-}p\to e^{-}W^{\pm}bq+X$ in the collision of electron beam with energy $E_e=$ 60 GeV and proton beam with energy $E_p=$ 50 TeV are calculated. In the analysis, the invariant mass distributions of three jets reconstructing top quark mass, requiring one b-tagged jet and other two jets reconstructing the $W$ mass are used to count signal and background events after all selection cuts. The upper limits on the anomalous flavor changing neutral current $tq\gamma$ couplings are found to be $\lambda_q <$ 0.01 at future circular hadron electron collider for $L_{int}=100$ fb$^{-1}$ with the fast simulation of detector effects. Signal significance depending on the couplings $\lambda_q$ is analyzed and an enhanced sensitivity is found to the branching ratio BR($t\to q\gamma$) at the future circular hadron electron collider when compared to the current experimental results.Comment: 11 pages, 4 Figures, 4 Tables, to appear in Phys.

Anisotropic exciton Stark shift in black phosphorus

We calculate the excitonic spectrum of few-layer black phosphorus by direct diagonalization of the effective mass Hamiltonian in the presence of an applied in-plane electric field. The strong attractive interaction between electrons and holes in this system allows one to investigate the Stark effect up to very high ionizing fields, including also the excited states. Our results show that the band anisotropy in black phosphorus becomes evident in the direction dependent field induced polarizability of the exciton

Measurements of Metastable Staus at Linear Colliders

We consider scenarios in which the lightest sparticle (LSP) is the gravitino and the next-to-lightest sparticle (NLSP) is a metastable stau. We examine the production of stau pairs in e^{+}e^{-} annihilation at ILC and CLIC energies. In addition to three minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) benchmark scenarios proposed previously, we consider a new high-mass scenario in which effects catalyzed by stau bound states yield abundances of {6,7}Li that fit the astrophysical data better than standard Big-Bang nucleosynthesis. This scenario could be probed only at CLIC energies. In each scenario, we show how the stau mixing angle may be determined from measurements of the total stau pair-production cross sections with polarized beams, and of the tau polarization in stau decays. Using realistic ILC and CLIC luminosity spectra, we find for each scenario the centre-of-mass energy that maximizes the number of staus with \beta \gamma < 0.4, that may be trapped in a generic detector. The dominant sources of such slow-moving staus are generically the pair production and cascade decays of heavier sparticles with higher thresholds, and the optimal centre-of-mass energy is typically considerably beyond 2 m_{\tilde\tau_1}
