We investigate the constraints that the LHC can set on a 126 GeV Higgs boson that is an admixture of CP eigenstates. Traditional analyses rely on Higgs couplings to massive vector bosons, which are suppressed for CP-odd couplings, so that…

The possibility of producing a measurable long-lived dark $Z$ boson, that is assumed to be produced either via its kinetic mixing with the hypercharge gauge boson or via mixing of the observed 125-GeV Higgs boson with the dark Higgs boson,…
A recent HyperCP observation of three events in the decay Sigma^+ -> p mu^+ mu^- is suggestive of a new particle with mass 214.3 MeV. In order to confront models that contain a light Higgs boson with this observation, it is necessary to…

The hint of a new particle around 125 GeV at the LHC through the decay modes of diphoton and a number of others may point to quite a number of possibilities. While at the LHC the dominant production mechanism for the Higgs boson of the…
