We perform an in-depth analysis of the Higgs sector in the Minimal Left-Right Symmetric Model and compute the scalar mass spectrum and associated mixings, offering simple physical and symmetry arguments in support of our findings. We…
We analyze the electroweak interactions in the framework of the Higgs effective field theory using the available Higgs and electroweak diboson production results from LHC run 2 as well as the electroweak precision data. Assuming…
In this review, we discuss methods of parsing direct and indirect information from collider experiments regarding the Higgs boson and describe simple ways in which experimental likelihoods can be consistently reconstructed and interfaced…
I briefly review the crucial role an $\emem$ linear collider could play in unravelling the nature of a non-minimal Higgs sector and/or strongly-interacting $WW$ sector.
If the mass of the Higgs boson is put to zero, the classical Lagrangian of the Standard Model (SM) becomes conformally invariant (CI). Taking into account quantum non-perturbative QCD effects violating CI leads to electroweak symmetry…
We consider first the standard model Lagrangian with $\mu_h^2$ Higgs potential term set to zero. We point out that this clasically scale invariant theory potentially exhibits radiative electroweak/scale symmetry breaking with very high…
The level of sensitivity of the processes $\gamma\gamma \to ZZ$, $\gamma\gamma \to W^+W^-$ and $\gamma\gamma \to t\bar t$ to the Higgs sector of the Standard Model Lagrangian in the energy region between 200 GeV and 1 TeV is examined. The…
The Higgs discovery and the lack of any other hint for new physics favor a description of non-standard Higgs physics in terms of an effective field theory. We present an implementation of a general Higgs effective Lagrangian containing…
It is shown that gravitation naturally emerges from the standard model of particle physics if local scale invariance is imposed in the context of a single conformal (Weyl-symmetric) theory. Gravitation is then conformally-related to the…
We study possible phenomenological consequences of the recently proposed new approach to the Weinberg-Salam model. The electroweak theory is considered as a gravity and the Higgs particle is interpreted in it as a dilaton, without the usual…
We present a field redefinition that simplifies the Higgs Effective Field Theory Lagrangian for the Electroweak Symmetry Breaking Sector. This simplification produces the same on-shell scattering amplitudes while greatly reducing the number…
We show that in Composite Higgs models, the coupling of the Higgs resonance to a pair of $W$ bosons is weaker than the corresponding Standard Model coupling, provided the Higgs arises from electroweak doublets only. This is partly due to…
In gauge theories, observable quantities have to be gauge-invariant. In general, this requires composite operators, which usually have substantially different properties, e.g. masses, than the elementary particles. Theories with a Higgs…
Deviations from the standard Higgs sector generated by some new physics at an energy scale $\Lambda$ could be described by an effective $SU(3)_c \times SU(2)_L \times U(1)$ invariant non-renormalizable Lagrangian terms of dimension six. A…
We investigate the possibilities of New Physics affecting the Standard Model (SM) Higgs sector. An effective Lagrangian with dimension-six operators is used to capture the effect of New Physics. We carry out a global Bayesian inference…
The lattice regularization of the Higgs sector of the standard model is summarized. The triviality bound and vacuum instability bound are described. The question of chiral gauge theories is discussed. Some aspects of the numerical…
We develop a phenomenological formalism for mixing effects between the Standard Model and hidden-sector fields, motivated by dark matter in the Universe as well as string theories. The scheme includes multiple Higgs-portal interactions in…
The study of charge asymmetry of W bosons in the process \egam\to eWW can be a tool for discovery of strong interaction in Higgs sector at energies that are lower than it is necessary for observation of resonances caused by this strong…
I give a brief overview of the motivations for and experimental probes of extended Higgs sectors containing more than the single Higgs doublet field of the Standard Model.
We study the sensitivities of future precision Higgs measurements and electroweak observables in probing physics beyond the Standard Model. Using effective field theory--appropriate since precision measurements are indirect probes of new…
