We consider a two-Higgs doublet model extended with a broken Abelian gauge symmetry under which all Standard Model (SM) quarks, fourth generation fermions and a new SM-singlet scalar boson are charged. Such a setup is shown to be able to…
We perform global fits of the Higgs boson couplings to all the 7 TeV, 8 TeV, and 13 TeV data available up to the Summer 2018. New measurements at 13 TeV extend to include the Higgs signal strengths exclusively measured in associated Higgs…
The magnitudes of the couplings of the scalar resonance at 125 GeV with the SM particles are found to be consistent with those of the SM Higgs boson. However, the signs are not experimentally determined in most of the cases, a prime example…
We calculate both the cubic and the quartic self-couplings of the lighter scalar Higgs boson without assuming the decoupling limit in the two-Higgs-doublet model (THDM). In some regions of parameter space of the THDM where the electroweak…
We discuss the reaction of associated production of a top quark pair and a Higgs boson at the future e+e- linear collider that can be used to determine the top-Higgs Yukawa coupling. Taking into account decays of the top quarks and the…
The Standard Model provides an excellent description of the observables measured at high energy lepton and hadron colliders. However, measurements of the forward-backward asymmetry of the bottom quark at LEP suggest that the effective…
The extension of the Standard Model (SM) with two complex $SU(2)_{L}$ scalar triplets enables one to have the Type II seesaw mechanism operative consistently with texture-zero neutrino mass matrices. This framework predicts additional…
The recently discovered 125 GeV boson appears very similar to a Standard Model Higgs, but with data favoring an enhanced h to gamma gamma rate. A number of groups have found that fits would allow (or, less so after the latest updates,…
This paper employs the $H+b+\text{jets}$ signature in proton-proton collisions to explore the structure of the $Hb\bar{b}$ couplings.The focus of the analysis lies in the decay of the Higgs boson into a photon pair, taking into account both…
A study of two-Higgs-doublet models (2HDM) in the decoupling limit reveals the existence of parameter configurations with a large triple-Higgs self-coupling as the only low-energy trace of the departure from a Standard Model (SM) Higgs…
With the deeper study of Higgs particle, Higgs precision measurements can be served to probe new physics indirectly. In many new physics models, vector-like quarks $T_L,~T_R$ occur naturally. It is important to probe their couplings with…
Measuring the Higgs trilinear self-coupling $\lambda_{hhh}$ is experimentally demanding but fundamental for understanding the shape of the Higgs potential. We present a comprehensive analysis strategy for the HL-LHC using di-Higgs events in…
We present a calculation of all relevant contributions to associated production of a Higgs boson with a weak gauge boson in the 2-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) at the LHC, $pp \rightarrow V\phi$, with $\phi\in\{h,H^0,A\}$ and $V\in\{W,Z\}$.…
The strength of the Yukawa coupling of the leptons and quarks with the Higgs boson is uniquely determined by the Higgs mechanism for generating masses in the Standard Model. The top-Higgs coupling can be measured directly in the process…
We discuss two Higgs doublet models with a softly-broken discrete $\mathbb{S}_3$ symmery, where the mass matrix for charged-leptons is predicted as the diagonal form in the weak eigenbasis of lepton fields. Similar to an introduction of…
In certain new physics scenarios, a singly charged Higgs boson can couple to both fermions and $W^\pm Z$ at tree level. We develop new strategies beyond current experimental searches using $pp\to jjH^\pm$, $H^\pm \to tb $ at the Large…
Higgs bosons with very suppressed couplings to fermions ("Fermiophobic Higgs bosons", h_f) can decay to two photons (\gamma\gamma) with a branching ratio significantly larger than that expected for the Standard Model Higgs boson for…
The most general Two Higgs Doublet Model potential without explicit CP violation depends on 10 real independent parameters. Excluding spontaneous CP violation results in two 7 parameter models. Although both models give rise to 5 scalar…
We consider the NMSSM extended to include one vector-like family of quarks and leptons. If (some of) these vector-like matter particles, as the Higgs doublets, have Yukawa couplings to the singlet S that exceed unity at about the same scale…
We study the production and decay of a heavy charged Higgs boson in the $bg\to tH^-$ and $H^-\to b\bar t$ processes at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We show that the chiral structure of the $H^-t\bar b$ vertex entering both stages is…
