We demonstrate that Higgs discovery at the LHC is possible in the context of the NMSSM even for those scenarios such that the only strongly produced Higgs boson is a very SM-like CP-even scalar which decays almost entirely to a pair of…
Prospective searches about Higgs physics and beyond the Standard Model are presented for the CMS and ATLAS experiments. Possible excesses of events in real data could be an indication of the existence of new particles, even with few hundred…
We consider the decays $h\to\gamma\gamma,\gamma Z$ in the context of an extension of the standard model with two inert doublets and an additional $S_3$ symmetry. This model has contributions for these processes through new charged…
Searches for light charged Higgs bosons (H^\pm) in the decay of top quarks, t -> H^\pm b, are being carried out at the LHC and at the Tevatron. It is assumed that the dominant decay channels for such an H^\pm state are either H^\pm ->…
The search for the Higgs boson is one of the main physics goals of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its two multi-purpose experiments, ATLAS and CMS. Vector boson fusion is the second largest production process for a standard model Higgs…
Due to the absence of tantalising hints for new physics during the LHC's run 1, the extension of the Higgs sector by dimension six operators will provide the new phenomenological standard for searches of non-resonant extensions of the…
The exotic decay modes of non-Standard Model (SM) Higgses in models with extended Higgs sectors have the potential to serve as powerful search channels to explore the space of Two-Higgs Doublet Models (2HDMs) that cannot be studied…
Using the most recent results of CMS and ATLAS, we study the Higgs decays to $\gamma\gamma$ and $Z\gamma$ in the scenario where the two CP even Higgs predicted by the type II seesaw model (HTM) are close to mass degenerate with a mass near…
This Letter presents a search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in the decay channel H->ZZ(*)->l+l-l'+l'-, where l,l'=e or mu, using proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector and corresponding to an…
We present the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) discovery potential in the $Z'$ sector of a $U(1)_{B-L}$ enlarged Standard Model (that also includes three heavy Majorana neutrinos and an additional Higgs boson) for $\sqrt{s}=7$, 10 and 14 TeV…
A review of the searches for the SM Higgs boson produced in association with a pair of top quarks, ${t\bar{t}H}$, using up to 13.3 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC is…
A study of searching for doubly charged Higgs $(\delta^{\pm \pm})$ is performed in two-Higgs-doublet extension of the conventional type-II seesaw model. We find that a fantastic mixing effect between singly charged Higgs of Higgs doublet…
In the standard model (SM), pair production rate of Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is quite low. One usually think that it is extremely important for the measurement of triple Higgs coupling at the high luminosity LHC. In…
We study the discovery potential for a light Higgs boson via $gg \to H_{\text{SM-like}} \to hh \to b\bar{b}\gamma\gamma$ process at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Focusing on the 2-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) Type-I, which can accommodate…
This review article starts with a brief introduction to the charged Higgs boson (H^\pm) in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). It then discusses the prospects of a relatively light H^\pm boson search via top quark decay at…
We demonstrate that detection of the heavier minimal supersymmetric model CP-even Higgs boson $H^0$ will be possible at the LHC via its $H^0\to h^0h^0\to 4b$ and/or $H^0\to A^0A^0\to 4b$ decay channels for significant portions of the $(…
We discuss the search for the heavy charged Higgs bosons H^\pm, implicitly of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, in the tau-nu decay mode at the LHC. Compared to the dominant decay mode H^\pm\to bt, the channel suffers from…
This work summarises the present understanding of the expected MSSM SUSY Higgs reach for CMS. Many of the studies presented here result from detailed detector simulations incorporating final CMS detector design and response. With 30 fb-1…
Recent preliminary results obtained by the CDF and D0 collaborations on searches for the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson in p bar{p} collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron are discussed. The data, corresponding to…
A data-driven method for simultaneously extracting a potential Higgs to ZZ to 4e, 4mu, 2e2mu signal and its dominant backgrounds, is presented. The method relies on a combined fit of the 2-lepton, Z*, and 4-lepton invariant masses. The fit…
