We calculate the two body Higgs boson decays in the framework of the littlest Higgs model. The decay $H \to \gamma Z$ is computed at one loop level and, using previous results, we evaluate the branching fractions in the framework of the…

In this paper, we present the branching ratios of the two lightest CP-even Higgses, $h_1$ and $h_2$, and of the lightest CP-odd Higgs, $a_1$, in the context of the Non-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM). We find that for some…
The minimal supersymmetric standard model leads to precise predictions of the properties of the light Higgs boson degrees of freedom that depend on only a few relevant supersymmetry breaking parameters. In particular, there is an upper…
This paper presents a search for Higgs bosons decaying to four leptons, either electrons or muons, via one or two light exotic gauge bosons $Z_d$, $H\to Z Z_d \to 4\ell$ or $H\to Z_d Z_d \to 4\ell$. The search was performed using $pp$…
Motivated by future collider proposals that aim to measure the Higgs properties precisely, we study the partial decay widths of the lightest Higgs boson in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with an emphasis on the parameter region…
The discovery of a light, singlet-like pseudoscalar Higgs boson, $A_1$, of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) could provide a hallmark signature of non-minimal supersymmetry. We review here the potential of the LHC to…
We explore models of new physics that can give rise to large (100% or more) enhancements to the rate of Higgs decay to $Z\gamma$ while still being consistent with other measurements. We show that this is impossible in simple models with one…
We have performed a one-loop calculation of the width of the rare decay H -> Z Z \gamma in the standard model for Higgs boson masses 190 GeV \leq m_H \leq 250 GeV. We find that the most dominant helicity combinations for the Z bosons and…
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…
We investigate the LHC discovery prospects for a heavy Higgs boson decaying into the Standard Model Higgs boson and additional weak bosons. We consider a generic model-independent new physics configuration where this decay proceeds via a…
The Next-to-Minimal 2-Higgs-Doublet Model (N2HDM) is an interesting benchmark model for a Higgs sector consisting of two complex doublet and one real singlet fields. Like the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric extension (NMSSM) it features…
Discovered in 2012, the Higgs boson has opened a new window on nature. The latest searches for its rare and non-Standard Model decays with the ATLAS detector at the LHC are presented. They represent a promising probe of the 1st and 2nd…
The decay t -> c V (V=\gamma, Z, g) process in the mirror twin Higgs models with the colorless top partners are studied in this paper. We found that the branching ratios of these decays can in some parameter spaces alter the standard model…
The Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) contains a singlet-like pseudoscalar Higgs boson in addition to the doublet-like pseudoscalar of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. This new pseudoscalar can have a very low…

The 3-3-1 model with neutral leptons contains four CP-even Higgs bosons when some constraints are imposed on the Higgs potential. Two Higgs bosons of this type are identified with the corresponding ones in the Two-Higgs-Doublet model…
The measurement of the $B\to X_s\gamma$ process gives important constraints on physics related to charged Higgs bosons ($H^\pm$). In 2-Higgs Doublet Models (2HDMs) with a softly-broken $Z_2$ symmetry, a light $H^\pm$ scenario, in which…
Motivated by the well known impact of rare decays of hadrons and leptons on the evolution of the Standard Model and on limits for new physics, as well as by the proposal for Giga-Z option at TESLA, we investigate the rare decay Z -> b s-bar…
Rare decay of the Higgs boson is a powerful tool to probe new physics beyond the standard model. The rare decays occur through quantum loops in which the standard model and new physics contributions might cancel each other out. We consider…
