Within the Standard Model the Higgs couplings to fermions and gauge bosons, as function of the particle mass, are predicted to lay on a single line. However, new patterns appear in multi-Higgs models that employ the Froggart-Nielsen…
Searching for top squark (stop) is a crucial task of the LHC. When the flavor conserving two body decays of the stop are kinematically forbidden, the stops produced near the threshold will live long enough to form bound states which…
Exotic decays of top partners in new bosons are the norm in realistic models of a composite Higgs. We focus on the custodial charge-$5/3$ partner, which normally decays exclusively into $tW^+$. The new channels include a colour-sextet,…
