HiggsBounds: Confronting arbitrary Higgs sectors with exclusion bounds from LEP and the Tevatron

TLDR
HiggsBounds is a computer code that tests theoretical predictions of models with arbitrary Higgs sectors against the exclusion bounds obtained from the Higgs searches at LEP and the Tevatron, and investigates whether the considered parameter point is excluded at the 95% C.L. on topological cross sections.

Parton distributions for the LHC

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented an updated leading-order, next-to-leading order and next-next-ordering order parton distribution function (MSTW 2008) determined from global analysis of hard-scattering data within the standard framework of leading-twist fixed-order collinear factorisation in the $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$¯¯$¯¯¯¯¯

SARAH 4 : A tool for (not only SUSY) model builders

TL;DR: The new version of the Mathematica package SARAH is presented which provides the same features for a non-supersymmetric model as previous versions for supersymmetric models, including an easy and straightforward definition of the model, the calculation of all vertices, mass matrices, tadpole equations, and self-energies.

SPheno 3.1: extensions including flavour, CP-phases and models beyond the MSSM☆

TL;DR: All masses of supersymmetric particles are calculated including the complete flavour structure and all possible CP-phases at the 1-loop level in case of flavour mixing in SPheno.

N. Moretti, +151 more
TL;DR: In 2012 and the first half of 2013, the LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group as mentioned in this paper presented the state of the art of Higgs physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), integrating all new results that have appeared in the last few years.

HiggsSignals: Confronting arbitrary Higgs sectors with measurements at the Tevatron and the LHC

TL;DR: HiggsSignals as mentioned in this paper is a Fortran90 computer code that allows to test the compatibility of Higgs sector predictions against Higgs rates and masses measured at the LHC or the Tevatron.

Large Mass Hierarchy from a Small Extra Dimension

TL;DR: In this paper, the weak scale is generated from the Planck scale through an exponential hierarchy, but this exponential arises not from gauge interactions but from the background metric, which is a slice of spacetime.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Hierarchy problem and new dimensions at a millimeter

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a new framework for solving the hierarchy problem which does not rely on either supersymmetry or technicolor, and they take as the only fundamental short distance scale in nature.

Partial Symmetries of Weak Interactions

TL;DR: In this paper, the weak and electromagnetic interactions of leptons are examined under the hypothesis that the weak interactions are mediated by vector bosons, and it is shown that the simplest partially-symmetric model reproducing the observed electromagnetic and weak interactions requires the existence of at least four vector-boson fields (including the photon).
Journal ArticleDOI

Broken Symmetry and the Mass of Gauge Vector Mesons

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that in certain cases vector mesons do indeed acquire mass when the vacuum is degenerate with respect to a compact Lie group, and that strong interaction physics originates from massive gauge fields related to a system of conserved currents.
