Direct and indirect searches of the Higgs boson suggest that 113 GeV $\lesssim m_H \lesssim$ 170 GeV is likely. With the LEP era over and the Tevatron Run II search via $p\bar p \to WH+X$ arduous, we revisit a case where $WH$ or $ZH +$ jets…

We propose a search for Higgs decays with as many as eight leptons in the final state. This signal can arise in a simple model with a hidden vector ($A_d$) that gets mass via a hidden scalar ($h_d$) vacuum expectation value. The 125 GeV…
Weak boson fusion is a copious source of intermediate mass Higgs bosons at the LHC. The additional very energetic forward jets in these events are powerful background suppression tools. I analyze the decays H -> gamma gamma and H ->…
