The Higgs-boson decay h -> gamma l+ l- for various lepton states l = (e, mu, tau) is analyzed. The differential decay width and forward-backward asymmetry are calculated as functions of the dilepton invariant mass in a model where the Higgs…
In this paper we explore the possibility that recent results by ATLAS and CMS searching for heavy resonances decaying into bosons could be a first hint of a new sector of pure-gauge confining physics, possibly linked to the origin of the…
In this talk, I will discuss possible new physics effects that modify the interaction of Higgs boson(s) with top and bottom quarks, and discuss how to detect such effects in current and future high energy colliders.
In this paper, the Higgs-like approach is used to analyze the quantum dynamics of a harmonic oscillator constrained on a circle. We obtain the Hamiltonian of this system as a function of the Cartesian coordinate of the tangent line through…
We discuss the lineshape of a heavy Higgs boson, and the behaviour well above resonance. Previous studies concluded that the energy-dependent Higgs width should be used in the resonance region, but must not be used well away from it. We…
Recent results of searches for Higgs bosons by the CMS collaboration are presented. These consist of searches for rare Higgs boson decays, searches for additional neutral Higgs bosons, and searches for charged Higgs bosons.
The impact a new neutral light particle of spin 0, 1/2, 1, or 3/2 could have on the tiny width of a light Higgs boson is systematically analyzed. To this end, we include all the relevant effective interactions, whether renormalizable or…

I review the idea of realizing the Higgs as a composite pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson of a new strongly-interacting sector and collect major constraints on the parameter space of minimal models. Besides limits from electroweak precision…
We present a short review of theories based on warped extra dimensions (motivated by the hierarchy problem of the Standard Model) which can accomodate a Higgs boson in the range suggested by the recent LHC results at 7 TeV. Using the…
In extended Higgs sectors, heavy Higgs bosons can decay via cascades to a light Higgs boson plus $W$ and $Z$ bosons. We study signals of such sectors at the Tevatron and LHC that result from resonant production of a heavy $H^0$ followed by…
I review, at a general non-technical level, the main properties of models in extra dimensions where the Higgs field is identified with some internal component of a gauge field.
We consider the associated production of a scalar resonance with the standard model Higgs boson. We demonstrate via a realistic phenomenological analysis that couplings of such a resonance to the Higgs boson can be constrained in a…

Extending the Higgs sector by an additional $SU(2)_L$ doublet Higgs boson implies the existence of a charged Higgs boson $H^+$. The LHC experiments search for such particle focusing on it decays into leptonic and quark decay final states,…
An overview of recent theoretical results on the Higgs boson and its discovery strategy at ATLAS and CMS will be presented, focusing on the main Higgs analysis effective with low integrated luminosity (less than 30 fb^-1).
The present status of theoretical calculations for signal and background processes relevant to the Higgs boson search at the LHC is reviewed, with special emphasis on recent developments. The issue of Higgs properties determination at the…
We describe a concrete, predictive incarnation of the general paradigm of a composite Higgs boson, which provides a valid alternative to the standard holographic models in five space-time dimensions. Differently from the latter, our model…
