In LHC searches for BSM physics in extreme final states, finding ways to pin background predictions to control samples in data is critical for establishing robust and credible analyses. The variable MJ, the sum of masses of large radius jets, has recently been applied to searches for supersymmetric particles to design data-driven estimates for difficult Standard Model backgrounds that arise...

Recent calculations have pointed to a 2.8 $\sigma$ tension between data on $\epsilon'$ and the SM prediction. Several new physics (NP) models can explain this discrepancy. It is known that such NP models are likely to predict deviations of the kaon rare decay branching ratios from the SM predictions, especially $B(K\to \pi \nu \bar{\nu})$ which can be probed well precisely in near future. We...

We investigate the Sommerfeld enhancement (SE) in the generalized scotogenic model with large electroweak multiplets. We focus on scalar dark matter (DM) candidate of the model and compare DM annihilation cross sections to WW, ZZ, $\gamma\gamma$ and $\gamma Z$ at present day in the galactic halo for scalar doublet and its immediate generalization, the quartet in their respective viable regions...

Even though the LHC searches so far did not unveil the new physics particles, the B-physics experiments at LHCb, BaBar and Belle hint towards deviations from Lepton Flavor Universality in both the tree-level and loop-induced B meson semileptonic decays. I will briefly review the leptoquark models that can address these puzzles, propose one new model and discuss the main predictions that can be...

MicroBooNE is a liquid-argon-based neutrino experiment, which began collecting data in Fermilab’s Booster neutrino beam in October 2015.
Physics goals of the experiment include probing the source of the anomalous excess of electron-like events in MiniBooNE. In addition to this, MicroBooNE is carrying out an extensive cross section physics program that will help to probe current theories on...
