Very recently, the CMS collaboration has reported a search for the production for a Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson in association with a top quark pair ($t bar{t} H$) at the LHC Run-2 and a best fit $t bar{t} H$ yield of $1.5 pm 0.5$ times…
The ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC have reported an excess of diphoton events with invariant mass around 750 GeV, with local significance of about $3.6 \sigma$ and $2.6 \sigma$, respectively. We entertain the possibility that this…
Following recent ATLAS and CMS publications we interpret the results of their Higgs searches in terms of Standard Model operators. For a Higgs mass of 125 GeV we determine several Higgs couplings from 2011 data and extrapolate the results…
We study Higgs + jet production at hadron colliders in order to look for new physics residual effects possibly described by the $dim=6$ operators ${\O}_{GG}$ and ${\widetilde\O}_{GG}$ which induce anomalous $Hgg$ and $Hggg$ couplings. Two…
We explore the sensitivity to new physics for the coupling of the Higgs boson ($h$) and top quark ($t$) at high energy scales with the process $pp\to t\bar{t}h$ at the high-luminosity LHC. This process probes the coupling in both the…
This paper presents the first search for a cH signal sensitive to the coupling of the charm quark (c) to the Higgs boson (H) in the associated production of at least one charm quark with a Higgs boson decaying to two photons. The results…
We show that supersymmetric "new physics" beyond the MSSM can naturally accommodate a Higgs mass near 126 GeV and enhance the signal rate in the Higgs to diphoton channel, while the signal rates in all the other Higgs decay channels…
Characterizing the 125 GeV Higgs is a critical component of the physics program at the LHC Run II. In this Letter, we consider $t\bar{t}H$ associated production in the dileptonic mode. We demonstrate that the difference in azimuthal angle…
The Standard Model of particle physics contains about two dozen parameters - such as particle masses - whose origins are still unknown and cannot be predicted, but whose values are constrained through their interactions. In particular, the…
Higgs production in association with a photon at hadron colliders is a rare process, not yet observed at the LHC. We show that this process is sensitive to significant deviations of Higgs couplings to first and second generation SM quarks…
In this Analysis we investigated the possibility of the measurement of Higgs self-coupling at ILC through the process $e^++e^-\rightarrow ZHH$ using fast simulation data. So far two combinations of decay modes: $Z\rightarrow q \bar…
ATLAS and CMS recently show the first results from run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. A resonant bump at a mass of around 750 GeV in the diphoton invariant mass spectrum is indicated and the corresponding…
We present a detailed analysis of the rare exclusive Higgs-boson decays into a single vector meson and a photon and investigate the possibility of using these processes to probe the light-quark Yukawa couplings. We work with an effective…
It is well know that the precise measurement of $H\to\gamma\gamma$ can generate two degenerate parameter spaces of $H\gamma\gamma$ anomalous coupling. We propose to utilize the exclusive Higgs rare decays $H\to\Upsilon(ns)+\gamma$ to break…
Recent searches by the CMS collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the `diphoton plus $b\bar{b}$ final state' have revealed an excess near 650 GeV, which might indicate the presence of a (broad) heavy resonance decaying into a…
We study the implications of the LHC Higgs signals on the Higgs mixing in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model (NMSSM). The Higgs couplings can depart from their values in the standard model (SM) due to mixing effects. However…
We combine the NNLO QCD description of Higgs boson production in association with an electroweak vector boson $V = W~{\rm or}~Z$ with a similarly-precise description of Higgs boson decays into a pair of massive $b$ quarks and with the…
A direct search for the Standard Model Higgs boson decaying to a pair of charm quarks is presented. Associated production of the Higgs and $Z$ bosons, in the decay mode $ZH\rightarrow \ell^+ \ell^- c \bar{c}$ is studied. A dataset with an…
The one-loop supersymmetric QCD quantum effects on the width of the unconventional top quark decay mode $t\rightarrow H^{+}\, b$ are evaluated within the MSSM. The study of this process is useful to hint at the supersymmetric nature of the…
We conjecture that a 125 GeV resonance $\zeta^0$ with $J^{PC}=0^{-+}$ composed of a quark-antiquark state may have been observed at the LHC. The decay modes of this pseudoscalar particle are determined using the non-relativistic quark…
