The twisted Gaussian Schell Model describes a family of partially coherent beams that present several interesting characteristics, and as such have attracted attention in classical and quantum optics. Recent techniques have been…
In this paper, we discuss the signal of composite spin-1 resonances at the LHC. Motivated by the possible observation of a diboson resonance in the 8 TeV LHC data, we demonstrate that vector resonances from composite Higgs models are able…
In July 2012, the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations at the CERN Large Hadron Collider announced the observation of a Higgs boson at a mass of around 125 GeV. Ten years later, and with the data corresponding to the production of 30 times larger…
We consider a generic composite Higgs model based on the coset SO(5)/SO(4) and study its phenomenology beyond the leading low-energy effective lagrangian approximation. Our basic goal is to introduce in a controllable and simple way the…
Precise measurement of the Higgs boson properties are important issues for the International Linear Collider (ILC) project to understand the particles mass generation mechanism which strongly related to the coupling with the Higgs boson.…
After some recollection of the implications that top quark and Higgs boson properties determination have had on each other, we discuss recent and future expected progress in the study of the top-Higgs sector. In particular we discuss some…
We study the possibility to detect heavy physics effects in the interactions of Higgs bosons and the top quark at future colliders using the effective Lagrangian approach. The modification of the interactions may enhance the production of…
A light Higgs boson is preferred by $M_W$ and $m_t$ measurements. A complex scalar singlet addition to the Standard Model allows a better fit to these measurements through a new light singlet dominated state. It then predicts a light Dark…
After the discovery of the 126 GeV resonance at the LHC, the determination of its features, including its spin, is a very important ongoing task. In order to distinguish the two most likely spin hypotheses, spin-0 or spin-2, we study the…
The composite Higgs scenario, in which the Higgs emerges as a composite pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson, is extensively reviewed in these Notes. The material is presented in a pedagogical fashion, with great emphasis on the conceptual and…
Motivated by the recent result reported from LHC on the di-photon search for a Standard Model (SM) Higgs-like boson. We discuss the implications of this possible signal in the framework of the Inert Higgs Doublet Model (IHDM), taking into…
The prospects for the determination of the properties of a hypothetical boson discovered at the Large Hadron Collider using measurements to be performed with the ATLAS and CMS detectors are summarized. The properties that are discussed are…
Topological interactions will generally occur in composite Higgs or Little Higgs theories, extra-dimensional gauge theories in which A_5 plays the role of a Higgs boson, and amongst the pNGB's of technicolor. This phenomena arises from the…
The process mu+ mu- --> H gamma, though small compared to the resonance process, could be observable at proposed muon colliders, given expected integrated luminosities. The apparently leading diagrams occur at tree-level, and are…
We study the modifications of the $\gamma\gamma\to ZH$ amplitudes and cross sections generated by Higgs and top quark compositeness in particular within the CSM concept. We insist on the particular interest of polarized photon-photon…
We introduce a 4-dimensional cutoff in the scenario of gauge-Higgs unification to control the ultraviolet behavior. A one-loop effective potential for a Higgs field and the Higgs mass are obtained with the cutoff. We find an {\it…
Composite Higgs Models explore the possibility that the Higgs boson is an excitation of a new strongly interacting sector giving rise to electro-weak symmetry breaking. After describing how this new sector can be embedded into the Standard…
A heavy Higgs resonance is described in a representation-independent way which is valid for the whole energy range of 2 -> 2 scattering processes, including the asymptotic behavior at low and high energies. The low-energy theorems which…

The production of a Higgs boson in association with a single top quark is one of a few channels which are sensitive for not yet excluded anomalous couplings of the Higgs boson to fermions. Multivariate analysis tools are used for the…
