We explain the current Large Hadron Collider (LHC) data pointing to the discovery of a neutral Higgs boson in the context of a 4-Dimensional Composite Higgs Model (4DCHM). The full particle spectrum of this scenario is derived without any…
In the standard model of electroweak interactions the Higgs doublet is replaced by a complex vector doublet and a real vector singlet. The gauge symmetry is broken dynamically by a mixed condensate of the doublet and singlet vector fields.…
Future lepton colliders will be precision machines whose physics program includes close study of the Higgs sector and searches for new physics via polarised beams. The luminosity requirements of such machines entail very intense lepton…
Composite Higgs models predict the existence of resonances. We study in detail the collider phenomenology of both the vector and fermionic resonances, including the possibility of both of them being light and within the reach of the LHC. We…
The measurement of Higgs couplings constitute an important part of present Standard Model precision tests at colliders. In this article, we show that modifications of Higgs couplings induce energy-growing effects in specific amplitudes…
Composite Higgs models feature new strong dynamics leading to the description of the Higgs boson as a bound state arising from the breaking of a global (flavour) symmetry. These models generally include light states generated by the same…
The effective Lagrangian including one loop corrections is deduced for the couplings of the charged Higgs with quarks and leptons, and with charginos and neutralinos. The effect of the one loop corrections is found to be quite significant…
``Weakly-coupled'' and ``strongly-coupled'' models of electroweak symmetry breaking are introduced by analogy with the Fermi theory of the weak interaction and the low-energy interaction of pions, respectively. The implications of these two…
The precise determination of the Higgs boson CP properties is among the most important goals for existing and future colliders. In this work, we evaluate existing constraints on the CP nature of the Higgs interaction with top quarks taking…
This paper studies the pair production of the doubly charged Higgs boson of the left-right symmetric models using multilepton final state in the vector boson fusion (VBF)-like processes. The study is performed in the framework consistent…
The inclusion of higher-dimensional gauge invariant operators induces new Lorentz structures in Higgs couplings with electroweak gauge boson pairs. This in principle affects the kinematics of Higgs production and decay, thereby modifying…
We study contributions of single scalar or vector leptoquark (LQ) to loop-induced Higgs processes, gluon fusion production ($g g \to h$) and $h \to \gamma \gamma$ decay, by analyzing the current Higgs data from the LHC Run I and II. Scalar…
We examine the constraints on the trilinear Higgs coupling $\lambda$ that originate from associated ($Vh$) and vector boson fusion (VBF) Higgs production in $pp$ collisions in the context of the Standard Model effective field theory. The…
We study models that interpolate between an elementary and a composite Higgs boson. Such models, arising in theories with new vector-like fermions with electro-weak quantum numbers and charged under a confining gauge interaction, are…
The next generation electron-positron colliders are designed for precision studies of the Standard Model and its extensions, in particular in the Higgs sector. We consider the potential for discovery of composite Higgs models in Higgs pair…
Experimentally probing the charm-Yukawa coupling in the LHC experiments is important, but very challenging due to an enormous QCD background. We study a new channel that can be used to search for the Higgs decay $H\to c\bar c$, using the…
The effect of new operators that only modify the bosonic couplings of the Higgs boson, without altering the WW\gamma or WWZ three-point functions, are examined in the e+e- -> ZZ\gamma and Z\gamma\gamma processes. We analyse the constraints…
Many compelling theories to address the Higgs hierarchy problem predict strong interactions between the top and a sector of New Physics. In minimal composite Higgs models (CHM), the top interactions with a BSM strongly-interacting sector…
Multi-Higgs boson interactions with massive gauge bosons are known to be tell-tale probes of the vacuum manifold of electroweak symmetry breaking. Phenomenologically, a precise determination of these parameters is hampered through…
At the LHC, an effective theory of the Higgs sector allows us to analyze kinematic distributions in addition to inclusive rates, although there is no clear hierarchy of scales. We systematically analyze how well dimension-6 operators…
