LHC diphoton Higgs signal and top quark forward-backward asymmetry in quasi-inert Higgs doublet model
A bstractIn the quasi-inert Higgs doublet model, we study the LHC diphoton rate for a standard model-like Higgs boson and the top quark forward-backward asymmetry at Tevatron. Taking into account the constraints from the vacuum stability, unitarity, electroweak precision tests, flavor physics and the related experimental data of top quark, we find that compared with the standard model prediction, the diphoton rate of Higgs boson at LHC can be enhanced due to the light charged Higgs contributions, while the measurement of the top quark forward-backward asymmetry at Tevatron can be explained to within 1σ due to the non-standard model neutral Higgs bosons contributions. Finally, the correlations between the two observables are discussed.

title: Higgs boson production in photon-photon collision at ILC: a comparative study in different little Higgs models
abstract: We study the process $ \gamma \gamma \to h \to b\bar b $ at ILC as a probe of different little Higgs models, including the simplest little Higgs model (SLH), the littlest Higgs model (LH), and two types of littlest Higgs models with T-parity (LHT-I, LHT-II). Compared with the Standard Model (SM) prediction, the production rate is found to be sizably altered in these little Higgs models and, more interestingly, different models give different predictions. We find that the production rate can be possibly enhanced only in the LHT-II for some part of the parameter space, while in all other cases the rate is suppressed. The suppression can be 10% in the LH and as much as 60% in both the SLH and the LHT-I/LHT-II. The severe suppression in the SLH happens for a large tan β and a small mh, in which the new decay mode h → ηη (η is a light pseudo-scalar) is dominant; while for the LHT-I/LHT-II the large suppression occurs when f and mh are both small so that the new decay mode h → AHAH is dominant. Therefore, the precision measurement of such a production process at the ILC will allow for a test of these models and even distinguish between different scenarios.

title: Top quark forward-backward asymmetry and charge asymmetry in the left-right twin Higgs model
abstract: In order to explain the Tevatron anomaly of the top quark forward-backward asymmetry A(FB)(t) in the left-right twin Higgs model, we choose to give up the lightest neutral particle of (h) over cap field as a stable dark matter candidate. Then a new Yukawa interaction for (h) over cap is allowed, which can be free from the constraint of same-sign top pair production and contribute sizably to A(FB)(t). Considering the constraints from the production rates of the top pair (t (t) over bar), the top decay rates, and t (t) over bar invariant mass distribution, we find that this model with such new Yukawa interaction can explain A(FB)(t) measured at the Tevatron while satisfying the charge asymmetry A(C)(t) measured at the LHC. Moreover, this model predicts a strong correlation between A(C)(t) at the LHC and A(FB)(t) at the Tevatron, i.e., A(C)(t) increases as A(FB)(t) increases.

title: Dark matter and Higgs phenomenology predicted by left-right twin Higgs model in light of CDMS II results
abstract: The left-right twin Higgs model predicts a light stable scalar Ŝ, which is a candidate for WIMP dark matter. We study its scattering on nucleon and find that the cross section is below the CDMS II upper bound but can reach the SuperCDMS sensitivity. Then we study the Higgs phenomenology by paying special attention to the decay h → ŜŜ which is strongly correlated with the dark matter scattering on nucleon. We find that such an invisible decay can be sizable, which can severely suppress the conventional decay modes like h → VV (V = W, Z) and $ h \to b\bar b $. On the other hand, compared to the SM prediction, the rates of Higgs boson productions at the LHC via gluon-gluon fusion, weak boson fusion or in association with top quark pairs are all reduced significantly, e.g., the gluon-gluon fusion channel can be suppressed by about 30%.

title: Two Higgs bidoublet model with spontaneous P and CP violation and decoupling limit to the two Higgs doublet model
abstract: The two Higgs bidoublet left-right symmetric model (2HBDM) as a simple extension of the minimal left-right symmetric model with a single Higgs bidoublet is motivated to realize both spontaneous parity (P) violation and charge conjugation and parity (CP) violation while consistent with the low-energy phenomenology without significant fine-tuning. By carefully investigating the Higgs potential of the model, we find that sizable CP-violating phases are allowed after the spontaneous symmetry breaking. The mass spectra of the extra scalars in the 2HBDM are significantly different from the ones in the minimal left-right symmetric model. In particular, we demonstrate in the decoupling limit when the right-handed gauge-symmetry-breaking scale is much higher than the electroweak scale, the 2HBDM decouples into the general two Higgs doublet model with spontaneous CP violation and has rich induced sources of CP violation. We show that in the decoupling limit, it contains extra light Higgs bosons with masses around electroweak scale, which can be directly searched at the ongoing LHC and future International Linear Collider experiments.

title: The BES upgrade
abstract: The Beijing Spectrometer (BES) detector is a general purpose solenoid detector at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC) in Beijing, China, that has collected large numbers of J/ψ, ψ′, D s , D and τ events. In this paper, we describe the recent upgrade of the initial BES detector (BESI) to the improved BESII detector.

title: Amplitude Analysis of the $D^+ \to K^0_S \pi^+ \pi^0$ Dalitz Plot
abstract: We perform an analysis of the $D^+ \to K^0_S \pi^+ \pi^0$ Dalitz plot using a data set of 2.92 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collisions at the $\psi(3770)$ mass accumulated by the BESIII Experiment, in which 166694 candidate events are selected with a background of 15.1%. The Dalitz plot is found to be well-represented by a combination of six quasi-two-body decay channels ($K^0_S\rho^+$, $K^0_S\rho(1450)^+$, $\overline{K}^{*0}\pi^+$, $\overline{K}_0(1430)^0\pi^+$, $\overline{K}(1680)^0\pi^+$, $\overline{\kappa}^0\pi^+$) plus a small non-resonant component. Using the fit fractions from this analysis, partial branching ratios are updated with higher precision than previous measurements.

title: Neutralino Dark Matter in Gauge Mediation After Run I of LHC and LUX
abstract: Neutralino can be the dark matter candidate in the gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking models if the conformal sequestered mechanism is assumed in the hidden sector. In this paper, we study this mechanism by using the current experimental results after the run I of LHC and LUX. By adding new Yukawa couplings between the messenger fields and Higgs fields, we find that this mechanism can predict a neutralino dark matter with correct relic density and a Higgs boson with mass around 125 GeV. All our survived points have some common features. First, the Higgs sector falls into the decoupling limit. So the properties of the light Higgs boson are similar to the predictions of the Standard Model one. Second, the correct EWSB hints a relatively small μ -term, which makes the lightest neutralino lighter than the lightest stau. So a bino–higgsino dark matter with correct relic density can be achieved. And the relatively small μ -term results in a small fine-tuning. Finally, this bino–higgsino dark matter can pass all current bounds, including both spin-independent and spin-dependent direct searches. The spin-independent cross section of our points can be examined by further experiments.
