RECENT NEWS
March 7, 2023: My presentation to Physics 205 can be found
in Section
V of this website.
February 28, 2023: Today, my paper in collaboration with Joseph (Zippy) Connel and Pedro Ferreira, entitled Accommodating Hints of New Heavy Scalars in the Framework of the Flavor-Aligned Two-Higgs-Doublet Model, was posted today on the arXiv. A link to this paper can be found in Section II of this website.
Searches for new neutral Higgs bosons of an extended Higgs sector at the LHC can be interpreted in the framework of the two-Higgs doublet model. By employing generic flavor-aligned Higgs–fermion Yukawa couplings, we propose an analysis that uses experimental data to determine whether flavor alignment is a consequence of a symmetry that is either exact or at most softly broken. We illustrate our proposal in two different scenarios based on a few 3 sigma (local) excesses observed by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations in their searches for heavy scalars at Run 2 of the LHC.
January 2, 2023: The 2023 Particle Physics conference schedule has been posted to Section VIII of this website. Although not intended to be comprehensive, it covers many conferences that overlap with my research interests.
December 18, 2022: Today I posted a short note to Section VI of this website entitled Exponentiating the Lie algebra of the Lorentz group. In one method, the 4x4 Lorentz transformation matrix (for arbitrary boost and rotation parameters) is obtained by an explict computation of the exponential of the corresponding element of the SO(1,3) Lie algebra. In a second method, the four-vector nature of the spinor product with a free spacetime index is used to to obtain the matrix Λ, which only requires the exponentiation of 2x2 matrices. The two methods are shown to yield the same expression for Λ.
December 1, 2022: Cambridge University Press has announced the availability of a new textbook, entitled From Spinors to Supersymmetry, co-authored by Herbi K. Dreiner, Howard E. Haber and Stephen P.

June 29, 2022:
My talk entitled The anapole moment of a charged lepton in softly-broken Supersymmetric QED, given at the SUSY-2022
conference held at the University of Ioannina in Ioannina, Greece, has been posted to Section VII
of this website.
The talk introduces the properties of the anapole moment of a pointlike charged particle. A one-loop computation of the static anapole moment of the electron (or muon) in softly-broken supersymmetric QED is presented. Some subtelties encountered in extending this result to the full MSSM are discussed.
June 22, 2022: Today, my paper in collaboration with Venus Keus and Rui Santos, entitled P-even, CP-violating Signals in Scalar-Mediated Processes, was posted today on the arXiv. A link to this paper can be found in Section II of this website.
New sources of neutral scalar-mediated CP violation that arise in extended Higgs sectors can originate in the Yukawa sector or in the structure of the scalar potential. Most treatments in the literature focus on CP-violating Yukawa interactions of neutral scalars, which is an example of P-odd CP violation since it derives from the mixing of two C-even operators of opposite sign P. In contrast, CP-violation arising from the scalar potential is P-even CP-violation, which can be observed by detecting three bosonic processes (suitably chosen) that are incompatible with the presence of a CP-symmetric scalar potential and/or vacuum. The discovery potential of such signals at various future multi-TeV lepton (and γγ) colliders is assessed. The potential for detecting loop-induced P-even, CP-violating phenomena is also considered.
June 13, 2022: Today, Physical Review D posted an erratum to my paper in collaboration with João P. Silva, entitled Exceptional regions of the 2HDM parameter space that appeared a year ago in Physical Review D 103, 115012 (2021). A link to this paper and the erratum can be found in Section II of this website.
May 25, 2022: The review entitled Two-component spinor techniques and Feynman rules for quantum field theory and supersymmetry that was published in Physics Reports in 2010 has now been superseded by a new (slightly enhanced) version, which corrects all errors in the published review that have come to the attention of the three authors. This new version is now available on the arXiv, where it appears as version 6 of arXiv:0812.1594 [hep-ph]. Further details can be found in Section III of this website.
May 16, 2022: The writeup of my talk, entitled A natural mechanism for a SM-like Higgs boson in the 2HDM without decoupling, which was given at the DISCRETE 2020-2021 conference held in Bergen, Norway on December 3, 2021 has now appeared on the arXiv. [PDF]

I. Research
The basic themes underlying my research program involve the study of: (i) the dynamics responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking; (ii) the theory and phenomenology of Higgs bosons; (iii) TeV-scale supersymmetry as a framework for incorporating a weakly-coupled Higgs sector; (iv) the phenomenology of signals for new physics beyond the Standard Model at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and future colliders; and (v) connections of low-energy phenomena with fundamental scales that lie beyond the TeV scale (e.g. lepton number violation and implications for neutrino masses).
The properties of the Higgs boson, which were discovered in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). have profound implications for the dynamics of electroweak symmetry breaking and the possible structure of new physics that may lie beyond the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. For example, most approaches to physics beyond the SM include extended Higgs sectors. Present Higgs data suggest that the properties of one of the scalars of the Higgs sector (identified with the observed Higgs boson) must have properties that closely approximate that of the SM Higgs boson. This constraint in turn imposes important constraints on any SM extension. The two-Higgs doublet model (2HDM) is a convenient theoretical laboratory for the study of extended Higgs sectors. Indeed, the two doublet extended Higgs sector is a key component of the simplest supersymmetric extension of the SM.
The theoretical structure and phenomenological profile of the 2HDM has attracted much attention in recent years. Staring with a seminal paper in collaboration with Sacha Davidson published in 2005, my work has advocated the importance of a basis-independent treatment of the 2HDM. During the past few years, I have focused on the relevance of the so-called decoupling and alignment limits of the 2HDM in which one of scalars closely resembles the SM Higgs boson. The basis-independent technology provides a very powerful and simple framework for studying and interpreting these limits.
If new physics beyond the SM emerges at the LHC, it will be essential
to develop techniques for measuring new particle interaction strengths at
high energy colliders. By detecting relations among various independent
couplings, one can ascertain underlying symmetries and distinguish
among different theoretical interpretations of the new physics. For example,
with sufficient precision, it will be possible to provide convincing
evidence for or against a supersymmetric interpretation of new
fundamental physics phenomena. A precision Higgs program at the LHC
and at a future collider (such as the proposed International Linear Collider)
can also provide important clues as to what may lie beyond the Standard Model.

Abstract and Postscript and PDF from arXiv.org; Journal Server - Phys.Rept.Webpage for Two-component spinor techniques and Feynman rules for quantum field theory and supersymmetry, maintained by Stephen P. Martin. Both the arXiv version and the Physics Reports version use the spacetime metric signature (+1,-1,-1,-1), as is found for example in the field theory textbooks by Ramond, and by Peskin and Schroeder . However, many people including one of the authors (S.P. Martin) prefer the metric signature (-1, +1, +1, +1), as is found for example in the textbooks by Weinberg, by Wess and Bagger, by Srednicki, and in Martin's Supersymmetry Primer. Here is a PDF file of v6 of our review with the (-1, +1, +1, +1) metric convention, which should be identical in content in every other respect: DHMspinors_v6.pdf.
Both the (+1,-1,-1,-1) and the (-1, +1, +1, +1) metric versions were made from the same source files available from the arXiv. The choice of metric signature is implemented by simply changing a single character in the main LaTeX source file, namely the argument of line 20, with \def\signofmetric{0} corresponding to the (+1,-1,-1,-1) metric and \def\signofmetric{1} to the (-1, +1, +1, +1) metric. Note that the pdf file is produced with pdflatex.
The list of known corrections to the Physics Reports version as of May 2022 is here: DHM_corr_PhysicsReports.pdf.
These corrections have all been implemented (along with some additional enhancements) and can be found in version 6 of arXiv:0812.1594 (313 pages, May 2022). Any subsequent corrections to version 6 of arXiv:0812.1594 will be posted on https://www.niu.edu/spmartin/spinors/.

IX. University Service
Faculty Perceptions of a UCSC Research Environment in Need of Restoration and Improvement, a report by Howard E. Haber and David M. Harrington, sponsored by the UCSC Committee on Research and contributed in May, 1998 to the Advisory Report of the Millennium Committee. [HTML]
University Committee on Research Policy (UCORP) 1995--1996 Public web page.
Should UC renew its contract with the Department of Energy (DOE) to manage the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Los Alamos National Laboratory? The following web page documents the 1996 UC systemwide campus debate on this question. A town meeting was held on the UCSC campus on March 7, 1996 to discuss these issues.
X. Extracurricular Activities
Some of the physics students and I play softball in the UCSC intramural coed softball league. The fall season runs from early October to early December, and the spring season runs from early April to early June.
Our team, called Re-Entry, is sponsored by the STARS organization on campus, which provides support and counseling for returning (or re-entry) students to campus. You can follow our season exploits on the Re-Entry Team Webpage.
