Abstract: For models with extended Higgs sectors, minimizing the one-loop effective potential and calculating tunneling times between different minima can provide a competitive phenomenological constraint.
Gr@v master student Raul Costa has been granted a place in the prestigious CERN summer student programme 2015 edition. Raul will be spending two months at CERN in a historical and exciting moment when the first data from the high energy runs of the LHC will start being produced. Watch out for the new particles Raul! And congratulations!
Gr@v Ph.D. student Flávio Coelho successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis with title "Radiadion from a D-dimensional collision of gravitational shock waves" on February 20th 2015. Congratulations Flávio!
Abstract: In this seminar I will start by generalising concepts used in the Standard Model (of Particle Physics). My first goal is to show how symmetries acting non-trivially on the generations (by relating e.g.
Abstract: I present the minimal QCD-like composite Higgs boson scenario based upon a phenomenologically consistent 3-flavor Dirac ultraviolet completion and confined SU(2) dynamics.
Abstract: We discuss the current status of theoretical and experimental constraints on the real Higgs singlet extension of the Standard Model. For the second neutral (non-standard) Higgs boson we consider the full mass range from 30 GeV to 1 TeV, which is accessable to past and present collider experiments.
