Lecture “Physics beyond the Standard Model” at TUM
In the winter semester 2014/15, I will offer a special lecture on “Physics beyond the Standard Model” at TUM. The lecture will take place in the “Handbibliothek” (room 3343 in the Physics Department)...

New paper on $b\to s\nu\bar\nu$!
Today my collaborators Andrzej Buras, Jennifer Girrbach-Noe, Christoph Niehoff and I released our new paper on the decays $B\to K\nu\bar\nu$ and $B\to K^*\nu\bar\nu$. These two closely related decays...

The $B\to K^*\mu^+\mu^-$ anomaly persists
tl;dr The $B\to K^*\mu^+\mu^-$ anomaly is still there, global fit prefers new physics in $C_9$ over SM by $3.7\sigma$, interpretation as hadronic effect not excluded though. Two years ago the LHCb...

Relative vs. absolute $\chi^2$
On this week’s workshop on $B$ decays in Edinburgh, which unfortunately I was not able to attend, apparently there have been many interesting talks and lots of fruitful discussion. An interesting point...
View ArticleNew paper on composite Higgs
Today, a new paper entitled “Direct and indirect signals of natural composite Higgs models” by Christoph Niehoff, Peter Stangl and myself appeared on the preprint archive. Weighing 72 pages, it might...
View ArticleReducing the hassle with BibTeX
BibTeX is great for generating bibliographies, in particular combined with Inspire, but it also has its annoying aspects. This is a typical workflow to generate references for a paper: Find the texkey...
View ArticleNew blog series on public codes
Time to resuscitate the blog section of my web site! Recently, I’ve been involved in the development of a number of public codes for phenomenology. While they are mostly reasonably documented and...
View ArticleWCxf: the Wilson coefficient exchange format
Here is my first post in the new series on codes, even though WCxf is more about conventions than about code. First off, it’s true, WCxf is not a very catchy name. On the other hand, it’s definitely...
View ArticleWilson: the EFT toolkit
This is the second post in the series about public codes. Effective Field Theories (EFTs) are powerful tools to simplify the analysis of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). At energies well below...
