The Composite 2-Higgs-Doublet Model (C2HDM) is a composite Higgs Model where two Higgs doublets arise as pseudo Nambu-Goldstone bosons in order to retrieve the well known 2HDM but with couplings already predetermined by the composite nature of the model. Fermion masses are generated through partial compositeness entailing new heavy fermions. In this talk we present Higgs Pair production in...

In practical applications for effective field theories, it is often necessary to obtain a complete set of independent operators, but constructing such an operator basis is remarkably challenging. In this talk, I will report on our implementation of a recently proposed group-theoretical algorithm that systematically accounts for the redundancies arising from equations of motion and...

In this talk I discuss peculiarities that arise in the computation of real-emission contributions to observables that contain Heaviside functions. Specifically I will discuss the calculation of the zero-jettiness soft function in SCET at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD. The Heaviside functions prevent a direct use of multi-loop methods based on reverse unitarity. I...

After reducing the Feynman integrals in the amplitudes to master integrals, these were computed by solving differential equations. By constructing expansions around regular as well as singular points and numerical matching, we obtain sufficient precision over the whole kinematic range. -

NRQCD is a non-relativistic effective theory used, for example, to describe QCD bound states such as the $\Upsilon$(1S) meson. The matching of the effective theory NRQCD to the full theory QCD requires the calculation of matching coefficients. One of these matching coefficients, the matching coefficient of the vector current, plays an important role in the calculation of the decay width of the...

Ultra-relativistic particles can be produced by the decay of weak-scale LLPs and act as dark radiation. The cosmologically interesting range $\Delta N_\text{eff} \sim 0.01–0.1$ corresponds to LLP decay lengths at the mm scale. These decay lengths lie at the boundary between prompt and displaced signatures at the LHC. We consider a scenario where the LLP decays into a lepton and a (nearly)...

I will discuss a flavoured dark matter (DM) model set up in the so called Dark Minimal Flavour Violation (DMFV) framework. The model extends the Standard Model by a DM flavour triplet and a scalar mediator, through which the new dark fermions couple to right-handed up-type quarks. This interaction is governed by a new coupling matrix which is assumed to constitute the only new source of...

The LHC experiments are entering a precision era, where the sensitivity to indirect effects of new physics, i.e. discrepancies between data and SM predictions, will increase substantially. Searches for these signals are most conveniently performed within the framework of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), that allows to implement a very ambitious program: a systematic search...

In this talk we estimate the potential size of the weak annihilation amplitudes in QCD factorization as allowed by experimental data by establishing a connection between the amplitudes in the QCD factorization and the so-called topological and SU(3)-invariant descriptions. Our approach is based purely on the analysis of the tensor structure of the decay amplitudes. By focusing on the decay...

We present analytical results for higher order corrections to the decay spectrum of inclusive semileptonic heavy hadron weak decays using the heavy quark expansion (HQE). We describe the analytical computation of the spectrum of the leptonic invariant mass for $B\rightarrow X_c \ell \bar{\nu}$ up to terms of order $1/m_b^3$ within the HQE at next-to-leading order (NLO) in $\alpha_s$.

We report on the calculation of the Higgs production and decay in association with top quarks in the di-leptonic channel at NLO QCD. All resonant, non-resonant Feynman diagrams and off-shell effects are included for the top quark and $W$ boson. We examine the size of these off-shell effects by a comparison to the narrow-width approximation. Higgs boson decays are included in the narrow-width...

In the Standard Model, the Higgs boson is predicted to be a scalar particle. However, a possible admixture of a $\cal{CP}$-odd component has yet to be excluded experimentally.

The Higgs boson production channel $t\bar{t}H(H\rightarrow b\bar{b})$ is a crucial ingredient to study the top-Yukawa coupling but suffers of a huge background. The direct $ t\bar{t}b\bar{b}$ production represents one of the main backgrounds to this process and, therefore, needs to be described properly. In this talk I will present the latest theoretical results obtained in the dileptonic...

The detailed study of the Higgs boson is one of the main tasks of contemporary particle physics. Gluon fusion, the main production channel of Higgs bosons at the LHC, has been successfully tackled up to $\text{N}^3\text{LO}$ in QCD. To fully exploit this unprecedented theoretical effort, sub-leading contributions, such as electroweak corrections, must be investigated. I will present the...

By extending the 2-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) by scalar dimension-6 effective field theory (EFT) operators we investigate to which extent the addition of these higher-dimensional operators can promote the electroweak phase transition to a strong first-order electroweak phase transition (SFOEWPT). We analyze the interplay between the choice of Wilson coefficients inducing an SFOEWPT and the...
