A search for exotic decays of the Higgs boson (H) with a mass of 125 GeV to a pair of light pseudoscalars $\mathrm{a}_1$ is performed in final states where one pseudoscalar decays to two b quarks and the other to a pair of muons or $\tau$…
A search for the Standard Model Higgs decaying to W$^+$W$^-$ and ZZ in pp collisions from LHC at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV using up to 1.7 fb$^{-1}$ of data recorded by the CMS detector is presented. This search covers a mass range from 110…
Among the possible decay modes of Higgs particles into supersymmetric states, neutralino and chargino decays play a prominent r\^ole. The experimental opportunities of observing such decay modes at LEP2 and at future e+e- linear colliders…
This work examines the $h\to Z\gamma$ and $h\to\gamma\gamma$ decays in the flavor-gauged two Higgs doublet model (FG2HDM), which augments the Standard Model (SM) with an additional scalar doublet, a singlet, and a $U(1)'$ flavor gauge…
We present results on the determination of the observable ratio R=BR(H^+ -> \tau \nu)/BR(H^+ -> t b-bar) of charged Higgs boson decay rates as a discriminant quantity between Supersymmetric and non-Supersymmetric models. Simulation of…
The decays D(s)+- -> mu+- nu and D(s)+- -> tau+- nu have traditionally been used to measure the D(s)+- meson decay constant f_D(s). Recent measurements at CLEO-c and the B factories suggest a branching ratio for both decays somewhat higher…
We update the allowed parameter space of the CP-violating 2HDM with Type II Yukawa couplings, that survives the current experimental and theoretical constraints on the model. For a representative set of allowed parameter points, we study…
In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, neutralinos lighter than 50 GeV are compatible with all accelerator, precision, and cosmological bounds. Such neutralinos might constitute a relevant decay channel for the Higgs boson, modifying…
Recent results reported by the ATLAS and CMS experiments on the search for a SM-like Higgs boson both show an excess for a Higgs mass near 125 GeV, which is mainly driven by the \gamma\gamma\ and ZZ^* decay channels, but also receives some…
A multitude of searches have already been performed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the LHC to probe the heavy Higgses of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) through their decay to the Standard Model particles. In this…
The Higgs decay $h\to 4\ell$ has played an important role in discovering the Higgs and measuring its mass thanks to low background and excellent resolution. Current cuts in this channel have been optimized for Higgs discovery via the…
The charged Higgs boson plays an essential role in distinguishing between a wide variety of standard model extensions with multiple Higgs doublets, and has been searched for in various collider experiments. This paper expands our previous…
We present a search for charged Higgs bosons in decays of top quarks, in the mass range $80 < m_{H^{\pm} < 155$ GeV, assuming the subsequent decay $H^{+} \to \tau^{+} \nu_\tau$ (and its charge conjugate). Using 0.9 fb$^{-1}$ of lepton+jets…
A search for neutral Higgs bosons decaying to tau pairs at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV is performed using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 inverse femtobarns recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The…
The decay $A\to ZH$ is a characteristic signal of two-Higgs-doublet models (2HDMs), where $A$ and $H$ lie primarily within the same $SU(2)_L$ multiplet, leading to a coupling of order $g_2$ to the $Z$ boson. The subsequent decay $H\to…
Motivated by the possible 95 GeV diphoton excess, we investigate the capability of the Type-I Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM-I) to explain this signal under current theoretical and experimental constraints. Using full Monte Carlo (MC)…
Results are presented on the discovery potential for MSSM neutral Higgs bosons in the Mh-{max}scenario. The region of large tan beta, between 15 and 50, and mass between ~ 95 and 130 GeV is considered in the framework of the ATLAS…
The couplings of the low scale type I see-saw model are severely constrained by the requirement of reproducing the correct neutrino mass and mixing parameters, by the non-observation of lepton number and charged lepton flavour violating…
Determining if the SM-like Higgs is part of an extended Higgs sector is the most important question to be asked after discovery. A light charged Higgs boson with mass smaller than the sum of top and bottom quarks is naturally allowed in…
We investigate the phenomenology of the Standard Model extended by a real gauge-singlet scalar field, focusing on exotic Higgs decay channels. For a light scalar mass in the range \(0 < m_{\phi} < 40\) GeV, the Higgs boson can decay to both…
