In a generic 'universal' theory of electroweak symmetry breaking, non fine-tuned heavy new physics affects the low-energy data through four parameters, which include and properly extend the generally insufficient S and T. Only by adding the LEP2 data to the global electroweak fit, can all these four form factors be determined and deviations from the SM be strongly constrained. Several of the recently proposed models (little Higgs, gauge bosons in extra dimensions or Higgsless models in 5D) are recognized to be 'universal' in a straightforward way after a proper definition of the effective vector boson fields. Among various applications, we show that proposed Higgsless models in 5D, when calculable, do not provide a viable description of electroweak symmetry breaking in their full range of parameters.

  1. General form of effective operators from hidden sectors

    hep-ph 2024-12 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Hidden sectors coupled through the Higgs, neutrino, or hypercharge portal always generate a fixed set of dimension-six SMEFT operators, with signs fixed by causality and unitarity when the UV scaling is mild.

  2. Singlet-Doublet fermion origin of dark matter, neutrino mass and inverse first-order electroweak phase transition

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    New singlet and doublet fermions, a scalar singlet, and right-handed neutrinos can simultaneously explain Dirac neutrino masses, dark matter, and a two-step inverse electroweak phase transition with observable gravita...

  3. Gauged Flavour for Asymmetric Dark Matter

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A gauged SO(3) flavour symmetry spontaneously broken at multiple scales links SM flavour hierarchies to asymmetric dark matter via leptogenesis and sphaleron redistribution, with DM as bound states of a confining SU(3).

  4. Tailored PDFs for New Physics searches

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using closure tests with W', Z', and coloron models, the paper shows that either excluding high-energy data or fitting PDFs jointly with SMEFT coefficients prevents new-physics signals from being absorbed into the pro...

  5. Constraints on Loryons in a Two Higgs Doublet Model

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a two-Higgs-doublet model, neutral singlet scalar Loryons remain viable up to about 700 GeV, while charged Loryon representations are strongly constrained by unitarity and Higgs-to-diphoton measurements.

  6. Phenomenology of Fractionally Charged Particles: Two Reps Are Better Than One

    hep-ph 2025-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Adding a second fractionally charged particle can weaken existing LHC bounds on the heavy partner by factors of a few while boosting production of the light partner by up to three orders of magnitude, motivating new i...

  7. A common origin of the Higgs boson and the flavor hierarchies

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A unified TeV-scale model produces the Higgs as a pseudo-Goldstone boson from the same gauge deconstruction that suppresses light-family Yukawa couplings and CKM mixing while leaving PMNS mixing anarchic.

  8. PDF effects in high-mass Drell-Yan SMEFT analyses across flavour space

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.5 of 10

    PDF profiling broadens high-mass Drell-Yan SMEFT limits most for first-generation quark operators and far less for heavier flavours, both with current CMS data and at the HL-LHC.

  9. Complementary Probes of Light Higgsinos: Electroweak Precision Measurements and Dark Matter Direct Detection

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Future electroweak precision measurements can probe light higgsinos up to 500 GeV even in compressed spectra below the neutrino fog, complementing direct detection which reaches the 1 TeV thermal relic mass.

  10. Accuracy complements energy: electroweak precision tests at Tera-Z

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Z-pole precision at a Tera-Z factory gives projected sensitivities to Higgs and gauge SMEFT operators that are competitive with, and complementary to, higher-energy runs such as WW and ZH.

  11. Improved BSM Sensitivity in Diboson Processes

    hep-ph 2019-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Polarization-resolved W+W- and Zh analyses at a 3 TeV e+e- collider can constrain the dimension-6 operators O3W and OW to roughly c3W ~ 1e-2 and cW ~ 3e-3, about an order of magnitude better than HL-LHC or ILC projections.

  12. Tests of the Standard Model at the International Linear Collider

    hep-ex 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The paper projects that a polarized e+e- collider at 250 GeV to 1 TeV would measure most Higgs couplings to sub-percent precision and improve many electroweak observables by an order of magnitude.
