The Higgs boson discovered at the LHC in 2012 has been observed coupling directly to $W$ and $Z$ bosons and to $\tau$ leptons, and indirectly to top quarks. In order to probe whether it is indeed the particle predicted by the Standard…

The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments, was a success achieved with only a percent of the entire dataset foreseen for the LHC. It opened a landscape of possibilities in the study of Higgs boson…
Suppose a heavy neutral Higgs or scalar boson $H$ is discovered at the LHC, it is important to investigate its couplings to the standard model particles as much as possible. Here in this work we attempt to probe the CP-even and CP-odd…

The Standard Model predicts several rare Higgs boson decay channels, among which are the decays to a Z boson and a photon, to a low-mass lepton pair and a photon, and to a meson and a photon. The observation of some of these decays could…
We assume that the Higgs boson or a possible resonance---playing its role in strongly interacting models of electroweak symmetry breaking---has been discovered at the LHC and propose a search strategy to determine its spin based on two…

Interpretations of searches for the Higgs boson are governed by model-dependent combinations of Higgs production cross sections and Higgs branching ratios. Mixing of the Higgs doublet with a hidden sector captures modifications from the…
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…
The study of WW Higgs boson decays is one of the key elements of the LHC physics program, as these decays are dominant close to the WW resonance. Recent results obtained using the full simulation of the detector are presented in the…
Interpretations of Higgs searches critically involve production cross sections and decay probabilities for different analysis channels. Mixing effects can reduce production rates, while invisible decays can reduce decay probabilities. Both…

The decay of the Standard Model Higgs boson into four leptons via a virtual W-boson or Z-boson pair is one of the most important decay modes in the Higgs-boson search at the LHC. We present the complete electroweak radiative corrections of…
We discuss the feasibility of seeing a Higgs boson which decays to four partons through a pair of (pseudo-)scalars at the LHC. We restrict our search to Higgs bosons produced in association with a W/Z boson at high transverse momentum. We…
The recent observation of a 125 GeV neutral Higgs boson ($H_{\rm obs}$) provides additional input for charged Higgs boson searches in the $H^\pm \to W^\pm H_{\rm obs}$ decay channel at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We reassess the…
