Standard-Model Higgs bosons are dominantly produced via the gluon-fusion mechanism $gg \to H$ at the LHC, i.e. in a loop-mediated process with top loops providing the dominant contribution. For the measured Higgs boson mass of $\sim 125$…

We propose a new method to determine the spin of Higgs bosons at the LHC by using the decay products of black holes. Black holes may be produced if TeV-scale gravity theories are correct, and black holes decay into several particles. This…
