We review and update the current phenomenological constraints on minimal type I seesaw extensions of the Standard Model in which New Physics content can be probed at the electroweak scale. In this class of models, the flavour structure of…
The observation of Higgs decays into heavy neutrinos would be strong evidence for new physics associated to neutrino masses. In this work we propose a search for such decays within the Type I seesaw model in the few-GeV mass range via…
Neutrino mass generation through the Higgs mechanism not only suggests the need to reconsider the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking from a new perspective, but also provides a new theoretically consistent and experimentally viable…
One of the cleanest signatures of a heavy Higgs boson in models with vectorlike leptons is $H\to e_4^\pm \ell^\mp \to h\ell^+\ell^-$ which, in two Higgs doublet model type-II, can even be the dominant decay mode of heavy Higgses. Among the…
In the {\sl type II seesaw} model, if spontaneous violation of the lepton number conservation prevails over that of explicit violation, a rich Higgs sector phenomenology is expected to arise with light scalar states having mixed…
In seesaw models with more than one generation of light and heavy neutrinos, nu and N, respectively, it is possible to have sizable mixing between them for heavy-neutrino masses of order 100 GeV or less. We explore this possibility further,…
In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, neutralinos lighter than 50 GeV are compatible with all accelerator, precision, and cosmological bounds. Such neutralinos might constitute a relevant decay channel for the Higgs boson, modifying…
The Higgs boson may have decay channels that are not predicted by the Standard Model. We discuss the prospects of probing exotic Higgs decays at the LHC using the 4-lepton final state. We study two specific scenarios, with new particles…
The seesaw scale is a priori unknown. If the seesaw scale is low, one may directly look for the new particles predicted by seesaw models. If the seesaw scale is high, such an approach is unfeasible. We show that in some supersymmetric…
Among the possible decay modes of Higgs particles into supersymmetric states, neutralino and chargino decays play a prominent r\^ole. The experimental opportunities of observing such decay modes at LEP2 and at future e+e- linear colliders…
We study the decay of a heavy CP-even neutral Higgs into an on-shell Standard Model-like Higgs boson and two photons, $H\to h\gamma\gamma$, in the two-Higgs doublet model. We argue that the decay channel $H\to h\gamma\gamma$, followed by…
Little Higgs models are formulated as effective theories with a cut-off of up to 100 times the electroweak scale. Neutrino masses are then a puzzle, since the usual see-saw mechanism involves a much higher scale that would introduce…
The charged Higgs decay in the channel H^- ->tau_L^- nu in models with a singlet neutrino can provide a test of large extra dimensions models with TeV scale quantum gravity since in the standard two Higgs doublet model type II, H^- ->…
Using the most recent results of CMS and ATLAS, we study the Higgs decays to $\gamma\gamma$ and $Z\gamma$ in the scenario where the two CP even Higgs predicted by the type II seesaw model (HTM) are close to mass degenerate with a mass near…
If the Higgs boson were the only particle within the LHC accessible range, precision measurement of the Higgs's properties would play a unique role in studying electroweak symmetry breaking as well as possible new physics. We try to use low…
In light of current atmospheric neutrino oscillation data, we revisit the invisible decay of the standard model Higgs boson and other pseudoscalar mesons which can be enhanced because of large number of KK modes in models with right handed…
We consider the version of the Zee model where both Higgs doublets couple to leptons. Within this framework we study charged Higgs decays. We focus on a model with minimal number of parameters consistent with experimental neutrino data.…
We explore modifications to the loop-induced Higgs couplings h\gamma\gamma\ and h\gamma Z from light charginos in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. When the lightest chargino mass is above the naive LEP bound of order 100 GeV the…
In this paper we consider a Higgs boson with mass and other properties compatible with those of the recently discovered Higgs particle at the LHC, and explore the possibility of new Higgs leptonic decays, beyond the standard model, with the…
To ascertain the new boson with mass near 125 {GeV} observed recently by ATLAS and CMS Collaborations to be the Standard Model Higgs, and to determine its intrinsic properties, more measurements on its various decay channels are still…
