We revisit four generations within the context of supersymmetry. We
compute the perturbativity limits for the fourth generation Yukawa
couplings and show that if the masses of the fourth generation lie
within reasonable limits of their present experimental lower bounds,
it is possible to have perturbativity only up to scales around 1000
TeV. Such low scales are ideally suited to...

We discuss the results of searches for various new physics phenomena in the pp collisions at 7 TeV delivered by LHC and collected with the CMS detector in 2010. While the sensitivity of these early searches varies, in many cases they set the most stringent limits on these new physics phenomena. These results demonstrate good understanding of the detector and backgrounds in a variety of...

We present the first results of searches for New Physics with the ATLAS detector using the 2010 LHC pp-collision data at sqrt{s} = 7 TeV. After a few months of operations, these searches already go beyond the reach of previous experiments, and start to explore new territories.

The ATLAS and CMS experiments have started their quest for
Supersymmetry (SUSY). We employ a global fit, using the code
Fittino, to existing precision measurements sensitive to SUSY and
combine it with the expected exclusion potential of the LHC
experiments in the 2011/2012 run assuming between 35pb-1 and 7fb-1 of
data. This potential is estimated through realistic procedure
using fast...

Extra-dimensional models with a fundamental Planck scale as low as the electro-weak scale offer an excellent opportunity to test the quantization of gravity at colliders. If gravity becomes asymptotically safe, its high-energy behaviour is governed by a fixed point of the renormalisation group. I discuss the asymptotic safety scenario for gravity and experimental signatures at colliders for...
