We propose to utilize angularity distributions in Higgs boson decay to probe light quark Yukawa couplings at $e^+e^-$ colliders. Angularities $\tau_a$ are a class of 2-jet event shapes with variable and tunable sensitivity to the…
In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, one of the scalar top quarks can be relatively light and its couplings to Higgs bosons strongly enhanced. I will discuss two consequences of this feature: 1) the effects of scalar top loops on…
The top quark and its properties within and beyond the Standard Model will be extensively studied at the incoming Large Hadron Collider. Nonetheless the top quark will play the role of the main background for most of the Higgs and new…
Associated production of the Higgs boson with a single top quark proceeds through Feynman diagrams, which are either proportional to the hWW, top-Yukawa, or the bottom-Yukawa couplings. It was shown in literature that the interference…
