We study the quantum properties of the Higgs-boson decays into four fermions via two vector bosons $(H\to VV^*\to 4f)$. In particular, we focus on the case of two different-flavour lepton pairs $(H\to ZZ^*\to \mu^+\mu^- e^+ e^-)$. We…
We consider the contributions to $g_\mu-2$ from fourth generation neutral and charged leptons, $N$ and $E$, at the one-loop level. Diagramatically, there are two types of contributions: boson-boson-$N$, and $E$-$E$-boson in the loop…
