A search for the $b\bar b$ decay of the Standard Model Higgs boson produced through vector-boson fusion is presented. Three mutually exclusive channels are considered: two all-hadronic channels and a photon-associated channel. Results are…
In many models with extended Higgs sectors, $e.g.$ 2HDM, NMSSM, there exists a light scalar $h$, lighter than the Standard Model (SM) like Higgs, and the coupling of $hZZ$ can be very small, as expected from the likeness of the 125 GeV…
We investigate inclusive Standard Model Higgs boson pair production at lepton and hadron colliders for Higgs boson masses in the range 120 GeV < m_H < 200 GeV. For m_H < 140 GeV we find that hadron colliders have a very limited capability…
