Full textFollowing the discovery of the Higgs boson in June 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider, the particle collider located beneath the France-Switzerland border, interest in the study of the scalar sector in elementary particle physics significantly increased. In particular, as the Higgs boson plays a very special role in the Standard Model of particle physics, experimentalists study its properties with great care.The goal of the Standard Model is to describe the interactions between elementary particles. However the theory is not quite complete. Indeed, in addition to some purely theoretical problems, a number of experimental observations cannot be explained by the Standard Model. Theorists are therefore looking for a more comprehensive theory able to fully explain the observations.This thesis is based on the study of the scalar sector of two different extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. I have worked on the Two-Higgs Doublet Model – this model is purely effective but can be included in more comprehensive theories – as well as on a model based on a combination of Technicolor and Composite Higgs theories in the framework of the SU (4) ? Sp(4) symmetry breaking pattern. I studied the latter via an effective approach but the full theory is able to get rid of some of the pitfalls of the Standard Model.These two models include a scalar sector that is richer than the one found in the Standard Model and contain at least one particle which can be assimilated to the Higgs boson discovered at the LHC.I performed a phenomenological study for these two models and tested them against both theoretical and experimental constraints. In particular I used the latest studies on the 125 GeV Higgs boson and on possible additional scalars performed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations. The application of all these constraints drastically reduced the available parameter space of the two models. In particular it narrowed the possible mass range of the additional scalars, allowing to know more accurately where to search them experimentally in order to prove or rule out their possible existence.As of today the two theories I worked on are still not excluded by the latest experimentaldata

Full textWith the discovery of a new particle in July 2012 by the CMS and ATLAS experiments, with properties resembling those of a boson predicted about 50 years earlier by theorists, the search for physics outside of the standard model of particle physics (SM) has made a big step. Indeed, the existence of this piece of the electroweak symmetry breaking proved wrong many theories, while giving more credit to the SM. However, because of some observations it fails to match, we know the SM cannot be the final word, and it is hoped that the study of this new particle will be a path to new sectors of physics. After a brief description of the SM and of the statistics of particle physics, we will present a way to parametrise the couplings measured at CERN, in order to constrain, through these couplings, more fundamental models describing physics beyond the standard model. This parametrisation, focusing on loop-induced couplings, would allow to lift a correlation existing between parameters currently used by experimentalists. We will then study the feasibility of a search for another scalar, lighter than the one discovered and which would have escaped previous searches, through the use of the same parametrisation. In two models, the 2HDM and the NSSSM, values of parameters yet unconstrained are shown.Finally, we will see that this scalar can also influence the joint production of two weak gauge bosons. We will show that the analysis of this process can be used in a coherent manner with on-shell Higgs measurements to constrain its couplings through our parametrisation. We will then end with a brief look at some limitation of this approach, before suggesting ways to overcome them

Full textAlmost two decades ago, the paradigm of extra-dimensional models addressing the gauge hierarchy problem attracted much attention through the elegant proposals of large, flat extra dimensions (EDs) - the Arkani-Hamed-Dimopoulos-Dvali or ADD model - and warped EDs - the Randall-Sundrum or RS model. In this thesis, we discuss several models inspired from such extra-dimensional scenarios. We start by introducing some key elements of field theory in five space-time dimensions and showing how such scenarios provide a solution to the hierarchy problem. Afterwards, in a first part of this work, we adopt a bottom-up approach and study several models containing Vector-Like Fermions (VLFs), which are typically predicted in ED frameworks. We show how adding Vector-Like Quarks (VLQs) to the Standard Model (SM) allows one to simultaneously explain the anomalies in the (i) b-quark forward-backward asymmetry measured at the Large Electron-Positron collider (LEP) and (ii) the tth production cross section measured at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Using the so-called Higgs decay ratios, we also estimate the sensitivity of the upgraded LHC, the High-Luminosity LHC, to the presence of VLQs. Then, we consider a Two-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) extended with Vector-Like Leptons (VLLs) in order to fit the mysterious 750 GeV excess observed at LHC in late 2015. Within a similar model, we also explain the Dark Matter (DM) abundance in the Universe, our DM candidate being a neutral VLL, which is rendered stable by a suitable Z2 symmetry. Later on, in a second part of the thesis, we focus on the more concrete warped ED scenario endowed with a bulk custodial symmetry, which protects the model from large electroweak (EW) corrections. In this framework, we first interpret the 2 TeV diboson bump observed at LHC in 2015 as a superposition of Kaluza-Klein (KK) gauge bosons produced in the s-channel. Afterwards, we study the phenomenology of the mixed Higgs-radion scalar sector of the aforementioned model. In particular, we estimate the sensitivity of the LHC and of a future electron-positron collider (the International Linear Collider - ILC) to the existence of a radion via its production in association with a Z boson

Full textO modelo padrão de física de partículas fornece uma teoria bem-sucedida para entender os resultados experimentais das interações eletrofracas e fortes. No entanto, não tem uma explicação satisfatória para o problema de hierarquia. Muitas extensões do Modelo Padrão que resolvem o problema hierarquia resultam em novas partículas. Estudaremos a fenomenologia de férmions vetoriais resultando em teorias onde o bóson de Higgs é tipicamente um bóson pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone. Nessas teorias, estudaremos o caso em que um férmion pesado será mais pesado do que um glúon pesado, e então o canal de um férmion pesado decaindo em um octeto de cor é considerado. Estudamos esta fenomenologia em colisores de alta energia, tanto para o LHC quanto as futuras máquinas.

Full textThe discovery of a particle similar to the Higgs boson predicted by the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics has been confirmed by the experiments CMS and ATLAS of the Large Hadron Collider at the CERN. However, it is not yet clear that the properties of this particle are those predicted by the SM. This, in addition with several other observations (Dark Matter,...), is a motivation for analysing supersymmetric extensions of the SM, as the NMSSM. We study in this thesis the solution of the Hierarchy problem in the NMSSM, linked with the quadratic divergences in the Higgs sector, and also the phenomenology of the NMSSM with gauge mediation supersymmetry breaking in the light of the latest data from the LHC. Finally, we present the developments made in the codes of the package NMSSMTools, featuring Monte Carlo Markov Chain methods, Fine Tuning calculus, the calculus of supersymmetric particle's cascade decays and the implementation of the general NMSSM

Full textLn the framework of warped extra dimension models addressing the gauge hierarchy problem, we consider the Randall-Sundrum scenario under the usual hypothesis of a bulk custodial symmetry protecting the model from large ElectroWeak corrections together with a Higgs field localized on the so-called TeV-brane. After reviewing the basics of field theory in extra dimensions, we introduce the RS framework, and show in details the construction of our phenomenological model as well as the effects of EW symmetry breaking. We determine the several minimal quark representations allowing to address the anomalies in the forward-backward b-quark asymmetry. It is then shown in details that there can exist large corrections to the Higgs boson Vacuum Expectation Value induced by mixings of the gauge bosons with their KK excitations. The connection with EW precision tests is developed. We find possibly substantial RS corrections to the various Higgs couplings able to affect its phenomenology. The end of this thesis is dedicated to SuperSymmetric extension of warped models, the Higgs field still being confined on the TeV-brane

Full textIt has long been thought that the Standard Model (SM) is an incomplete description of our universe, yet experimental results thus far do not confirm anything beyond it. Minimal supersymmetry, embodied by the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), is a competitive extension of the SM and has been well investigated, especially in the context of simplified models, at colliders. However, current search techniques may not be making optimal use of the collider's ability to test the accessible parameter space. Instead of using a static veto on jet momentum to minimise undesirable background processes in signal searches, it can be shown that employing a dynamic jet veto constructed out of several measures of hadronic and leptonic activity can heighten the discovery potential of simplified MSSM scans. At the same time, it cannot be denied that the limits placed on simplified models are not a true representation of more complex scenarios - especially non-minimal supersymmetry models where decay signatures are altered by a more complex chargino and neutralino spectrum. Dirac gauginos (DG) are a well-motivated non-minimal extension that restore the naturalness being lost by the ever more stringent constraints on the MSSM. Here this work looks down two avenues: it (1) investigates how the enlarged particle content of DG models can lead to altered bounds on current gluino and squark mass limits from Run 2 of the LHC, and (2) makes an in depth study of the Higgs sector in such models, which is automatically aligned owing to extended supersymmetry that links the Yukawa couplings to the gauge couplings in the electroweak sector

Full textGeneral SU(2)x SU(2)x U(1) models represent a well-motivated intermediate step towards the unication of the Standard Model (SM) gauge groups. Extended gauge group sector, as compared to that of the SM, leads to additional neutral and charged gauge bosons. These so-called Z' and W' bosons are actively searched for at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Based on a recent global analysis of low-energy and LEP constraints of these models, we perform numerical scans of their various signals at the LHC at Leading Order accuracy. We show that total cross sections for lepton and third-generation quark pairs, while experimentally easily accessible, provide individually only partial information about the model realized in Nature. In contrast, correlations of these cross sections in the neutral and charged current channels may well lead to a unique identification. Subsequently we study the electroweak top-pair production at Next-to-leading Order (NLO) accuracy in the SM extensions with an additional Z' boson assuming general flavour-diagonal couplings. We calculate the virtual and real corrections at order O(alS*alW^2) and implement them in the POWHEG BOX framework which allows for consistent matching of NLO QCD calculations with parton showers. We find that the NLO corrections can be very important but the K-factors in the invariant mass region around the resonance mass are modest
