Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Type-3/2 Seesaw Mechanism(American Physical Society, 2021) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Sargın, Ozan; Sargın, Ozan; 04.05. Department of Pyhsics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe type-I seesaw mechanism provides a natural explanation for tiny neutrino masses. The right-handed neutrino masses it requires are, however, too large to keep the Higgs boson mass at its measured value. We show that vector spinors, singlet leptons that are like right-handed neutrinos, generate tiny neutrino masses naturally through the exchange of spin-1/2 and spin-3/2 components. This one-step seesaw mechanism, which we call the type-3/2 seesaw, keeps the Higgs boson mass unchanged at one loop and gives cause therefore to no fine-tuning problem. If the on-shell vector spinor is a pure spin-3/2 particle, then it becomes a potential candidate for hidden dark matter which gets diluted due only to the expansion of the Universe. The type-3/2 seesaw provides a natural framework for the neutrino, Higgs boson, and dark matter sectors, with overall agreement with current experiments and observations.Article Citation - WoS: 187Citation - Scopus: 313Observation of Higgs Boson Decay To Bottom Quarks(American Physical Society, 2018) CMS Collaboration; Karapınar, Güler; Karapınar, Güler; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe observation of the standard model (SM) Higgs boson decay to a pair of bottom quarks is presented. The main contribution to this result is from processes in which Higgs bosons are produced in association with a W or Z boson (VH), and are searched for in final states including 0, 1, or 2 charged leptons and two identified bottom quark jets. The results from the measurement of these processes in a data sample recorded by the CMS experiment in 2017, comprising 41.3 fb-1 of proton-proton collisions at s=13 TeV, are described. When combined with previous VH measurements using data collected at s=7, 8, and 13 TeV, an excess of events is observed at mH=125 GeV with a significance of 4.8 standard deviations, where the expectation for the SM Higgs boson is 4.9. The corresponding measured signal strength is 1.01±0.22. The combination of this result with searches by the CMS experiment for H→bb in other production processes yields an observed (expected) significance of 5.6 (5.5) standard deviations and a signal strength of 1.04±0.20.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 23Search for Physics Beyond the Standard Model in Events With High-Momentum Higgs Bosons and Missing Transverse Momentum in Proton-Proton Collisions at 13 Tev(American Physical Society, 2018) CMS Collaboration; Karapınar, Güler; Karapınar, Güler; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyA search for physics beyond the standard model in events with one or more high-momentum Higgs bosons, H, decaying to pairs of b quarks in association with missing transverse momentum is presented. The data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb-1, were collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at the center-of-mass energy s=13 TeV. The analysis utilizes a new b quark tagging technique based on jet substructure to identify jets from H→bb. Events are categorized by the multiplicity of H-tagged jets, jet mass, and the missing transverse momentum. No significant deviation from standard model expectations is observed. In the context of supersymmetry (SUSY), limits on the cross sections of pair-produced gluinos are set, assuming that gluinos decay to quark pairs, H (or Z), and the lightest SUSY particle, LSP, through an intermediate next-to-lightest SUSY particle, NLSP. With large mass splitting between the NLSP and LSP, and 100% NLSP branching fraction to H, the lower limit on the gluino mass is found to be 2010 GeV.Article Citation - WoS: 182Citation - Scopus: 288Observation of T¯th Production(American Physical Society, 2018) CMS Collaboration; Karapınar, Güler; Karapınar, Güler; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe observation of Higgs boson production in association with a top quark-antiquark pair is reported, based on a combined analysis of proton-proton collision data at center-of-mass energies of s=7, 8, and 13 TeV, corresponding to integrated luminosities of up to 5.1, 19.7, and 35.9 fb-1, respectively. The data were collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The results of statistically independent searches for Higgs bosons produced in conjunction with a top quark-antiquark pair and decaying to pairs of W bosons, Z bosons, photons, τ leptons, or bottom quark jets are combined to maximize sensitivity. An excess of events is observed, with a significance of 5.2 standard deviations, over the expectation from the background-only hypothesis. The corresponding expected significance from the standard model for a Higgs boson mass of 125.09 GeV is 4.2 standard deviations. The combined best fit signal strength normalized to the standard model prediction is 1.26-0.26+0.31.Article Citation - WoS: 134Citation - Scopus: 161Search for New Physics in Final States With an Energetic Jet or a Hadronically Decaying W or Z Boson and Transverse Momentum Imbalance at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 Tev(American Physical Society, 2018) CMS Collaboration; Karapınar, Güler; Karapınar, Güler; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyA search for new physics using events containing an imbalance in transverse momentum and one or more energetic jets arising from initial-state radiation or the hadronic decay of W or Z bosons is presented. A data sample of proton-proton collisions at s=13 TeV, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb-1, is used. The observed data are found to be in agreement with the expectation from standard model processes. The results are interpreted as limits on the dark matter production cross section in simplified models with vector, axial-vector, scalar, and pseudoscalar mediators. Interpretations in the context of fermion portal and nonthermal dark matter models are also provided. In addition, the results are interpreted in terms of invisible decays of the Higgs boson and set stringent limits on the fundamental Planck scale in the Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, and Dvali model with large extra spatial dimensions.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 16Stop on Top: Susy Parameter Regions and Fine-Tuning Constraints(American Physical Society, 2014) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Demir, Durmuş Ali; 04.05. Department of Pyhsics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyWe analyze minimal supersymmetric models in order to determine in what parameter regions with what amount of fine-tuning they are capable of accommodating the LHC-allowed top-stop degeneracy window. The stops must be light enough to enable Higgs naturalness yet heavy enough to induce a 125 GeV Higgs boson mass. These two constraints imply a large mass splitting. By an elaborate scan of the parameter space, we show that the stop-on-top scenario requires at least ΔCMSSM≃O(104) fine-tuning in the constrained minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (CMSSM). By relaxing the CMSSM parameter space with nonuniversal Higgs masses, we find that ΔNUHM1≃O(104). The CMSSM with a gravitino lightest supersymmetric particle works slightly better than the nonuniversal Higgs mass model. Compared to all these, the CMSSM with μ<0 and nonuniversal gauginos yields a much smaller fine-tuning Δμ,g≃O(100). Our results show that the gaugino sector can pave the road toward a more natural stop-on-top scenario.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Search for Gauge Extensions of the Mssm at the Lhc(American Physical Society, 2009) Ahmed, Ali; Demir, Durmuş Ali; Frank, Mariana; Turan, İsmail; 04.05. Department of Pyhsics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe extensions of the minimal supersymmetric model (MSSM), driving mainly from the need to solve the μ problem, involve novel matter species and gauge groups. These extended MSSM models can be searched for at the LHC via the effects of the gauge and Higgs bosons or their fermionic partners. Traditionally, the focus has been on the study of the extra forces induced by the new gauge and Higgs bosons present in such models. An alternative way of studying such effects is through the superpartners of matter species and the gauge forces. We thus consider a U(1)′ gauge extension of the MSSM, and perform an extensive study of the signatures of the model through the production and decays of the scalar quarks and gluino, which are expected to be produced copiously at the LHC. After a detailed study of the distinctive features of such models with regard to the signatures at the LHC, we carry out a detailed Monte-Carlo analysis of the signals from the process pp→nleptons+mjets+E T, and compare the resulting distributions with those predicted by the MSSM. Our results show that the searches for the extra gauge interactions in the supersymmetric framework can proceed not only through the forces mediated by the gauge and Higgs bosons but also through the superpartner forces mediated by the gauge and Higgs fermions. Analysis of the events induced by the squark/gluino decays presented here is complementary to the direct Z′ searches at the LHC.
