Models with extra gauge bosons often require an extended Higgs sector, which contains a rich spectrum of Higgs bosons with properties that deviate from the Standard Model (SM). Such Higgs bosons could be searched using standard mechanisms…
We analyse the prospects to detect at the LHC the neutral Higgs particles of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, when the masses of the two CP-even $h,H$ and of the CP-odd $A$ boson are close to one another, and the value of $\tb$ is…
We investigate the possibility to discover the charged Higgs via $pp\to W^{\pm}H^{\mp}\to l+\met+b\bar{b}jj$ process at LHC, which suffers from large QCD backgrounds. We optimize the kinematic cuts to suppress the backgrounds, so that the…
Inclusive Standard Model Higgs boson pair production and subsequent decay to same-sign dileptons via weak gauge W bosons at the CERN Large Hadron Collider has the capability to determine the Higgs boson self-coupling, lambda. The large top…
We study the $Za_1$ decay mode of a heavy CP-even Higgs boson of the NMSSM, $h_2$, where $a_1$ is the lightest CP-odd Higgs state of this scenario, the former produced in association with a bottom-antibottom pair, and find that, despite…
A brief pedagogical overview of the phenomenology of Z' gauge bosons is presented. Such particles can arise in various electroweak extensions of the Standard Model (SM). We provide a quick survey of a number of Z' models, review the current…
The reconstruction of the Higgs potential in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) requires the measurement of the trilinear Higgs self-couplings. The `double Higgs production' subgroup has been investigating the possibility of…
We discuss the simplest model that predicts a tree level modification of the $\rho$ parameter from a shift in the $W$-mass without changing the prediction for the $Z$ mass. This model predicts a new neutral Higgs and two charged Higgses,…
Nonstandard on-shell decays of $W^\pm$ and $Z$ bosons are possible within the framework of extended supersymmetric models, i.e., with singlet states and/or new couplings compared to the minimal supersymmetric standard model. These modes are…
As the most important discovery channel for a light Higgs boson at the LHC, the di-photon signal $gg->h->\gamma\gamma$ is sensitive to underlying physics. In this work we investigate such a signal in a comparative way by considering three…
In this work, we present a detailed collider phenomenology study of the charged Higgs boson within a Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) framework featuring an extended gauge and scalar sector. The charged Higgs can decay via conventional…
Studies of the spin, parity and tensor couplings of the Higgs boson in the $H\rightarrow ZZ^*\rightarrow 4\ell$, $H\rightarrow WW^* \rightarrow e\nu\mu\nu$ and $H\rightarrow \gamma \gamma$ decay processes at the LHC are presented. The…
We consider the four-site Higgsless model, which predicts the existence of four charged and two neutral extra gauge bosons, $W_{1,2}^\pm$ and $Z_{1,2}$. In contrast to other Higgsless models, characterized by fermiophobic extra gauge…
We consider general fermi-phobic scenarios in which excess events in diphoton or WW/ZZ resonances may be seen at LHC. These Higgs like signals do not necessarily suggest that the new resonance is a particle with Yukawa couplings nor do we…
The prospects of detecting the CP-odd Higgs pseudoscalar ($A$) in the minimal supersymmetric model via its decay into a $Z$ boson and the lighter CP-even Higgs scalar ($h$) at the CERN Large Hadron Collider are investigated. The final state…
While approaching the start of the data taking at the LHC, ATLAS and CMS perform studies involving the Higgs boson within non-minimal models besides Supersymmetric models. Highlights from both experiments are summarized; all results refer…
Processes where $W$ and $Z$ bosons scatter into pairs of electroweak bosons $W$, $Z$, and Higgs, are sensitive probes of new physics in the electroweak sector. We study simplified models that describe typical scenarios of new physics and…
We present the phenomenology of the charged Higgs boson $H^\pm$ appearing in a fermionic dark matter model mediated by an additional scalar doublet. In order to couple the dark matter fermion to the scalar doublet, we introduce a U(1)$_X$…
