The ATLAS and CMS collaborations have observed independently at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) a new Higgs-like particle with a mass $M_h \sim$ 125 GeV and properties similar to that predicted by the Standard Model (SM). Although the…
This report summarizes the final results from the OPAL collaboration on searches for neutral Higgs bosons predicted by the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). CP-conserving and for the first time at LEP CP-violating scenarios are…
The study of LFV decays of the Higgs boson, $h\to \ell_i \ell_j$, has become an active research subject both from the experimental and theoretical points of view. Such decays vanish within the SM and are highly suppressed in several…
It has been proposed that the observed diphoton excess at 750 GeV could be explained within the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model via resonantly produced stop bound states. We reanalyze this scenario critically and extend…
In the decoupling limit, $M^2_{A^0} \gg M^2_Z$, the heavy CP-even, CP-odd and charged Higgs boson masses are nearly degenerate, $\sin(\beta-\alpha)$ approaches 1, and the lightest CP-even Higgs boson almost displays the same properties as…
In 2018, the CMS collaboration reported a di-photon excess around 95.3 GeV with a local significance of 2.8 $\sigma$. Interestingly, the CMS collaboration also reported a di-tau excess recently at 95 $\sim$ 100 GeV with a local significance…
R-parity violation modifies the phenomenology of supersymmetric models considerably. We study a version of NMSSM, which contains right-handed neutrinos and in which spontaneous R-parity violation is possible. We study the ensuing effects of…
The ATLAS and CMS collaborations have announced discovery of a ~125 GeV Higgs boson, after a combined analysis of the di-photon and ZZ search channels. This observation has significant impact on low-energy supersymmetry. First, some…
We study the flavor changing neutral current decays of the MSSM Higgs bosons into strange and bottom quarks. We focus on a scenario of minimum flavor violation here, namely only that induced by the CKM matrix. Taking into account constraint…
A helicity asymmetry for top quarks originating from Higgs boson decays is investigated within the 2-Higgs Doublet Model. The asymmetry is sensitive to CP violation in the scalar sector of the model, whereas it vanishes in the Standard…
We explore the possibility that physics at the TeV scale possesses approximate $N = 2$ supersymmetry, which is reduced to the $N=1$ minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) at the electroweak scale. This doubling of…
Electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG) in the MSSM can account for the cosmological baryon asymmetry, but only within a restricted region of the parameter space. In particular, MSSM EWBG requires a mostly right-handed stop that is lighter than the…
We perform a systematic study of the production of a third-generation fermion-pair, $\mu^+\mu^-\to f\bar{f}$ for $f=\tau^-,b$, and t in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) with explicit CP violation, which is induced…
We consider the two-Higgs-doublet model with explicit CP-violation, where the effective Higgs potential is not CP-invariant at the tree-level. Three neutral Higgs bosons of the model are the mixtures of CP-even and CP-odd bosons which exist…
We consider supersymmetric extensions of the standard model with two pairs of Higgs doublets. We study the possibility of spontaneous $CP$ violation in these scenarios and present a model where the origin of $CP$ violation is soft, with all…
We calculate the Higgs-boson mass spectrum and the corresponding mixing of the Higgs states in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We assume a mass-hierarchy with heavy SUSY particles and light Higgs bosons. To investigate…
The observation that the $b \rightarrow s\gamma $ decay rate is close to the Standard Model value implies a large mass for the charged-Higgs boson in the Minimum Supersymmetric Standard Model, that nearly closes the $t \rightarrow b H^+$…
We make an updated review and a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the decays of Higgs bosons in the Standard Model (SM) and its three well-defined prototype extensions such as the complex singlet extension of the SM (cxSM), the four…
In the context of the $B-L$ Supersymmetric Standard Model (BLSSM), we investigate the consistency of a light Higgs boson, with mass around $90-95$ GeV, with the results of a search performed by the CMS collaboration in the di-photon channel…
With a bottom-up approach, we consider naturalness in the MSSM and NMSSM. Assuming the light stops, the LHC gluino search implies that the degree of fine tuning in both models is less than 2.5%. Taking the LHC hints for the SM-like Higgs…
