Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recent experimental results, particularly those of the LHC, have completely transformed the status of particle physics and form the basis of future research directions. Believing that the Higgs boson discovery has completed our understanding of particle physics is too simplistic. On the contrary, much remains to be understood. In fact, a new era, in which we have direct experimental information regarding the physics behind the breaking of electroweak (EW) symmetry, recently begun. This breaking plays a fundamental role in our understanding of particle physics and sits at the high-energy frontier, beyond which we expect to explore uncharted territories that raise deep conceptual concerns theoretically.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

A light charged Higgs boson has been searched for at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) via top (anti)quark decay, i.e.,

t \to b H^{+}

, if kinematically allowed. In this contribution, we propose new channels for light charged Higgs boson searches via the pair productions

p p \to H^{\pm} h / A

and

p p \to H^{+} H^{-}

at the LHC in the context of the Two-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) Type-I. By focusing on a case where the heavy H state is the Standard Model (SM)-like one already observed, we investigate the production of the aforementioned charged Higgs bosons and their bosonic decay channels, namely,

H^{\pm} \to W^{\pm} h

and/or

H^{\pm} \to W^{\pm} A

. We demonstrate that such production and decay channels can yield substantial alternative discovery channels for

H^{\pm}

bosons at the LHC. Finally, we propose eight benchmark points (BPs) to motivate the search for such signatures. Full article

Using C++ to Calculate SO(10) Tensor Couplings

by Azadan Bhagwagar and Raza M. Syed

Abstract

Model building in

SO (10)

Model building in

SO (10)

, which is the leading grand unification framework, often involves large Higgs representations and their couplings. Explicit calculations of such couplings is a multi-step process that involves laborious calculations that are time consuming and error prone, an issue which only grows as the complexity of the coupling increases. Therefore, there exists an opportunity to leverage the abilities of computer software in order to algorithmically perform these calculations on demand. This paper outlines the details of such software, implemented in C++ using in-built libraries. The software is capable of accepting invariant couplings involving an arbitrary number of

SO (10)

Higgs tensors, each having up to five indices. The output is then produced in LaTeX, so that it is universally readable and sufficiently expressive. Through the use of this software,

SO (10)

coupling analysis can be performed in a way that minimizes calculation time, eliminates errors, and allows for experimentation with couplings that have not been computed before in the literature. Furthermore, this software can be expanded in the future to account for similar Higgs–Spinor coupling analysis, or extended to include further

SO (N)

invariant couplings. Full article
