The LHC experiments ATLAS and CMS have reported an excess in the diphoton spectrum at \sim 750 GeV. At the same time the motivation for Supersymmetry (SUSY) remains unbowed. Consequently, we review briefly the proposals to explain this…
We consider models for the di-photon resonance observed at ATLAS (with 3.6 fb^{-1}) and CMS (with 2.6 fb^{-1}). We find there is no conflict between the signal reported at 13 TeV, and the constraints from both experiments at 8 TeV with 20.3…
Searching for new Higgs particle beyond the observed light Higgs boson h(125GeV) will unambiguously point to new physics beyond the standard model. We study the resonant production of a CP-even heavy Higgs state $H^0$ in the di-Higgs…
We explore the possibility of a beyond the standard model scalar ($\phi$) as a possible explanation of the diphoton resonance at 750~GeV invariant mass reported by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the large hadron collider (LHC). We…
The recent observation of a 125 GeV neutral Higgs boson ($H_{\rm obs}$) provides additional input for charged Higgs boson searches in the $H^\pm \to W^\pm H_{\rm obs}$ decay channel at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We reassess the…
While the recent discovery of a Higgs-like boson at the LHC is an extremely important and encouraging step towards the discovery of the {\it complete} standard model(SM), the current information on this state does not rule out possibility…
The resonance $S$ at $\sim 750$ GeV in the diphoton channel observed by ATLAS and CMS, if it holds up, is almost certainly the ($S$)cion of a larger dynasty in a UV completion that may very well be connected to the hierarchy problem. At…
Recent CMS analyses report an excess in the diphoton-plus-$b \bar{b}$ channel, indicative of a heavy resonance around 650 GeV decaying into a Standard Model (SM)-like Higgs boson and a lighter scalar near 95 GeV. The case for a 95 GeV state…
We confront the discovery of a boson decaying to two photons}, as reported recently by ATLAS and CMS, with the corresponding predictions in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard…
We discuss two novel possibilities in Higgs physics. The first is that, by adding a real Higgs triplet to the Standard Model, it is possible for the lightest Higgs boson to be as heavy as 500 GeV without any fine tuning. The second,…
The ATLAS and CMS collaborations recently presented evidence of a resonance decaying to pairs of photons around 750 GeV. In addition, the BaBar, Belle, and LHCb collaborations have evidence of lepton non-universality in the semileptonic…
Motivated by the possible 95 GeV diphoton excess, we investigate the capability of the Type-I Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM-I) to explain this signal under current theoretical and experimental constraints. Using full Monte Carlo (MC)…
A search for charged Higgs may yield clear and direct signs of new physics outside the realm of the Standard Model (SM). In the Two-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM), we investigate two of the main single charged Higgs production channels at the…
We investigate the Higgs boson production through gluon fusion and its decay into two photons at the LHC in the context of the minimal 3-3-1 model and its alternative version with exotic leptons. The diphoton Higgs decay channel presents an…
The implications of the discovery of a scalar Higgs boson at the LHC with a mass of approximately 125 GeV are summarised in the context of the Standard Model of particle physics with its unique scalar boson and of its most celebrated new…
We discuss a possible explanation of the recently observed diphoton excess at around 750 GeV as seen by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider. We calculate the cross section of the diphoton signature in 2-Higgs Doublet…
A new Higgs-like boson with mass around 126 GeV has recently been discovered at the LHC. The available data on this new particle is analyzed within the context of two-Higgs doublet models without tree-level flavour-changing neutral…
Within 2HDM, sizable deviations of the triple Higgs coupling and the two-photon Higgs width from their SM values can have a common origin. If SM-like scenario for the observed Higgs boson is realized, mentioned deviations can be either…
We explore the detection possibility of light pseudoscalar Higgs boson in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric Standard Model(NMSSM) at the LHC with the center of mass energy, $\sqrt{S}=13$ TeV. We focus on the parameter space which provides…
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…
