| Abstract: | We present searches for new physics at the CDF detector at the Tevatron. Recently observed anomalous forward-backward asymmetry at CDF is still at odds with the Standard Model, we present a search for a new particle resonance that may explain such an asymmetry. We also present a search for a new vector boson, a chromophilic Z', that decays exclusively to colored particles. Finally, we present possible new physics extensions to the recently discovered Higgs boson-like particle at the LHC. We present a search for a new physics scenario with two Higgs doublets at CDF. |
