The global picture of the Higgs potential in the bottom-up approach is still unknown. A large deviation as big as O(1) fluctuations of the Higgs self couplings is still a viable option for the New Physics. An interesting New Physics…
We investigate if the recent mass resonance excesses seen around 95 GeV at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can be reconciled with a first-order electroweak phase transition. Performing the first large-scale parameter scan of the Type I Two…
In this paper we consider an extension of the Standard Model(SM) with additional gauge singlets which exhibits a strong first order phase transition. Due to this first order phase transition in the early universe gravitational waves are…
Singlet extensions of the Standard Model (SM) allow for a strongly first order electroweak phase transition, because of trilinear terms in the tree-level potential. We present a systematic procedure to study the parameter space of the…
We study the strong first order electroweak phase transition (SFOEWPT) with the $SO(6)/SO(5)$ composite Higgs model, whose scalar sector contains one Higgs doublet and one real singlet. Six benchmark models are built with fermion embeddings…
In the $U(1)_X$ extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model, there are three Higgs singlets and the corresponding trilinear terms in the Higgs effective potential. These new terms can allow a strongly first order electroweak…

We investigate the prospects for resonant di-Higgs and heavy Higgs production searches at the 14 TeV HL-LHC in the combination of $bb\gamma\gamma$ and $4l$ channels, as a probe of a possible first order electroweak phase transition in real…
High precision measurements of electroweak observables at $e^\pm$ colliders indicate the existence of a light Higgs boson below the $W^\pm$ threshold. If such a fundamental scalar should be found in the near future it is important to fully…
In the general Higgs portal like models, the extra neutral scalar, $S$, can mix with the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson, $H$. We perform an exploratory study focusing on the direct search for such a light singlet $S$ at the Large Hadron…
Future high energy linear electron positron colliders with centre-of-mass enegies between 90 and 1000 GeV offer a unique opportunity to study precisely the Standard Model and phenomena from new physics. Most important, the mechanism of…
A broad class of models in which electroweak symmetry breaking originates from dynamics in a singlet dark sector, and is transferred to the Standard Model via the Higgs portal, predicts in general strongly suppressed Higgs boson mixing with…
We consider the Higgs portal through which light scalars contribute both to the Higgs production and decay and Higgs effective potential at finite temperature via quantum loops. The positive Higgs portal coupling required by a strongly…
We study the scenarios where a strongly first-order electroweak phase transition (EWPT) is triggered by a light singlet scalar, which has feeble interactions to the Higgs. Since the singlet scalar is light and has weak couplings, it can…
The possibility of a scalar messenger that can couple the Standard Model (SM) to a hidden sector has been discussed in a variety of contexts in the literature in recent years. We consider the case that a new scalar singlet charged under an…
Electroweak precision data has been extensively used to constrain models containing physics beyond that of the Standard Model. When the model contains Higgs scalars in representations other than SU(2) singlets or doublets, and hence rho not…
We discuss a possibility that the parameter space of the two Higgs doublet model is significantly narrowed down by considering the synergy between direct searches for additional Higgs bosons at the LHC and its luminosity upgraded operation…
