In contrast to mechanisms based on hidden scalars where a complete cancellation cannot be achieved, stabilization here is complete in that the hidden vector and the accompanying Stueckelberg scalar are both free from quadratic divergences at one-loop. This stability, deriving from hidden exact gauge invariance, can have important implications for modeling dark phenomena like dark matter, dark energy, dark photon and neutrino masses. The hidden fields can be produced at the LHC.Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 26Curvature-Restored Gauge Invariance and Ultraviolet Naturalness(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2016) Demir, Durmuş AliIt is shown that (aΛ2+b|H|2)R in a spacetime of curvature R is a natural ultraviolet (UV) completion of (aΛ4+bΛ2|H|2) in the flat-spacetime Standard Model (SM) with Higgs field H, UV scale Λ, and loop factors a and b. This curvature completion rests on the fact that Λ-mass gauge theory in flat spacetime turns, on the cut view R=4Λ2, into a massless gauge theory in curved spacetime. It provides a symmetry reason for curved spacetime, wherein gravity and matter are both low-energy effective phenomena. Gravity arises correctly if new physics exists with at least 63 more bosons than fermions, with no need to interact with the SM and with dark matter as a natural harbinger. It can source various cosmological, astrophysical, and collider phenomena depending on its spectrum and couplings to the SM.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 16Effects of Curvature-Higgs Coupling on Electroweak Fine-Tuning(Elsevier Ltd., 2014) Demir, Durmuş AliIt is shown that nonminimal coupling between the Standard Model (SM) Higgs field and spacetime curvature, present already at the renormalizable level, can be fine-tuned to stabilize the electroweak scale against power-law ultraviolet divergences. The nonminimal coupling acts as an extrinsic stabilizer with no effect on the loop structure of the SM, if gravity is classical. This novel fine-tuning scheme, which could also be interpreted within Sakharov's induced gravity approach, works neatly in extensions of the SM involving additional Higgs fields or singlet scalars.Conference Object Introduction To Higgs Sector: Theory and Phenomenology(Springer Verlag, 2008) Demir, Durmuş AliThis review is based on lectures delivered at International Summer School on High Energy Physics, in Akyaka, Mugla, Turkey, September 2006. The goal of the review is to introduce junior graduate students, having a some knowledge of field theory, to the problem of mass generation and its physical consequences. The review starts with the statements and a toy model of mass generation in Sect. 2. In Sect. 3 a model of weak interactions is constructed and its predictions are compared with experimental results obtained so far. Given in Sect. 4 is search strategies for Higgs boson, the only remnant of the mechanism that gives mass to matter, by referring to model predictions and experimental facilities. Finally, in Sect. 5, given are a summary of results plus reasons for and expectations from models which rehabilitate the minimal model constructed in Sect. 3.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 15Cern Lep Indications for Two Light Higgs Bosons and the U(1)' Model(American Physical Society, 2006) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Solmaz, Levent; Solmaz, SaimeReanalyses of LEP data have shown preference to two light CP-even Higgs bosons. We discuss implications of such a Higgs boson spectrum for the minimal supersymmetric model extended by a standard model singlet chiral superfield and an additional Abelian gauge invariance [the U(1)′ model]. We, in particular, determine parameter regions that lead to two light CP-even Higgs bosons while satisfying existing bounds on the mass and mixings of the extra vector boson. In these parameter regions, the pseudoscalar Higgs is found to be nearly degenerate in mass with either the lightest or next-to-lightest Higgs boson. Certain parameters of the U(1)′ model such as the effective μ parameter are found to be significantly bounded by the LEP two light Higgs signal.Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 24Signals of Doubly-Charged Higgsinos at the Cern Large Hadron Collider(American Physical Society, 2008) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Frank, Mariana; Huitu, Katri; Rai, Santosh Kumar; Turan, İsmailSeveral supersymmetric models with extended gauge structures, motivated by either grand unification or by neutrino mass generation, predict light doubly-charged Higgsinos. In this work we study productions and decays of doubly-charged Higgsinos present in left-right supersymmetric models, and show that they invariably lead to novel collider signals not found in the minimal supersymmetric model or in any of its extensions motivated by the μ problem or even in extra dimensional theories. We investigate their distinctive signatures at the Large Hadron Collider in both pair- and single-production modes, and show that they are powerful tools in determining the underlying model via the measurements at the Large Hadron Collider experiments. © 2008 The American Physical SocietyArticle Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Electric Dipole Moments in U(1)' Models(American Physical Society, 2008) Hayreter, Alper; Sabancı, Aslı; Solmaz, Levent; Solmaz, SaimeWe study electric dipole moments of electrons and protons in E(6)-inspired supersymmetric models with an extra U(1) invariance. Compared to the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, in addition to offering a natural solution to the μ problem and predicting a larger mass for the lightest Higgs boson, these models are found to yield suppressed electric dipole moments. © 2008 The American Physical Society.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 7Higgs Field as the Gauge Field Corresponding To Parity in the Usual Space-Time(World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd, 1998) Erdem, RecaiWe find that the local character of field theory requires the parity degree of freedom of the fields to be considered as an additional discrete fifth dimension which is an artifact emerging due to the local description of space-time. Higgs field can be interpreted as the gauge field corresponding to this discrete dimension. Hence the noncommutative geometric derivation of the standard model follows as a manifestation of the local description of the usual space-time.
