    We present an updated study of the invariant mass and other kinematic distributions of jet pairs produced in association with a $W$ boson using data collected with the CDF detector utilizing an integrated luminosity of $\sim$ 7~fb$^{-1}$.

    The last decade of particle physics beyond the Standard Model has seen extensive developments on an alternative to supersymmetry: the scenarios with warped extra dimensions. Those constitute a new paradigm in the sense that they are dual, through the AdS/CFT correspondence, to composite Higgs models. These scenarios predict strong deviations from the Standard Model mainly in the bottom and top...

    Various channels were explored to look for physics beyond the standard model. A search for first generation leptoquarks as a unique signal for new physics was augmented by searches for unnaturally large number of events in channels where the number of events predicted in the SM is small. Such a channel is the production of single top. Another such channel is the production of tau...

    We introduce a jet shape observable, N-subjettiness, that helps to discriminate the fat jet from a highly boosted color singlet particle decaying to N partons and the QCD jet. As an illustration, a toy scheme for the light Standard Model Higgs search via fully hadronic decay channels from `pp -> H W/Z' is suggested. Issues regarding the subjet definition as required by the N-subjettiness are...

    Higgs strahlung off W/Z bosons at Tevatron and the LHC, ppbar/pp -> WH/ZH, is an important process class for discovering a light Higgs boson.

    Adding trilinear R-parity violating terms to a supersymmetric scenario, has large implications for collider phenomenology.
