Interpreting LHC data requires a few assumptions, even from an Effective Field Theory approach. I will put a question mark on a few on them and study their effects: considering triple Higgs coupling in single Higgs observables gives a complementarity between single and double Higgs; adding anomalous fermion-vector boson couplings in diboson data ends up...

In this seminar, I’ll discuss recent results from lattice simulation of a candidate model of physics beyond the Standard Model. In systems of interest, the Higgs arises as a Goldstone boson of a new strongly coupled sector in the UV, while the top quark obtains its large mass through the mechanism of partial compositeness. This... More »

We study simplified models of flavoured dark matter in the framework of Dark Minimal Flavour Violation. In this setup the coupling of the dark matter flavour triplet to SM quark triplets constitutes the only new source of flavour and CP violation. The parameter space of the model is restricted by LHC searches with missing energy... More »

The LHC has put the naturalness paradigm under pressure since one generally expects new colored resonances at the TeV scale to address the hierarchy problem. There exists another possibility, however. New dynamics responsible for furnishing a pseudo-goldstone composite Higgs may have a gapped continuum of colored excitations, in which case the top partners and vector... More »
