The Type-II Seesaw Model provides an attractive scenario to account for Majorana-neutrino masses. Its extended Higgs sector, if sufficiently light, can have a rich and distinctive phenomenology at the LHC while yielding automatically an…
The searches for charged Higgs bosons can be used to probe new physics at the LHC. In the current study, we concentrate on the associated production of the charged Higgs boson with the bottom quark and the jet in Two-Higgs Doublet Model…
The phenomenology of a charged Higgs present in a model with two Higgs SU(2) doublets and a $Z_3$ flavor symmetry is analyzed. It is shown that it is possible to generate an enhancement of its flavor changing coupling to c and b quarks and…
Charged Higgs bosons are common predictions in most extensions of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs sector. Therefore, their observation would elucidate the nature of the Higgs sector. Motivated by the ATLAS collaboration's latest analysis…
We elaborate on an earlier proposal by Ernest Ma of a type II seesaw mechanism for suppressing the vacuum expectation values of some Higgs doublets. We emphasize that, by nesting this form of seesaw mechanism into various other seesaw…
We explore the production and possible detection of a charged scalar Higgs pair $H^-H^+$ decaying into the final state $\mu\nu_{\mu}cb$ in proton-proton collisions at the LHC and its next step, the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). The charged…
With the Higgs search program already quite mature, there is the exciting possibility of discovering a new particle with rates near that of the SM Higgs. We consider models with a signal in $\gamma \gamma$ below the SM Higgs mass, taking…
Dark Matter (DM), arising from an Inert Higgs Doublet, may either be light, below the $W$ mass, or heavy, above about 525 GeV. While the light region may soon be excluded, the heavy region is known to be very difficult to probe with either…
The excess in $t\to b\overline{b}c$ observed by ATLAS points towards a charged Higgs boson with a mass around 130$\,$GeV, consistent with the expectations from the $B$ anomalies, i.e.$~R_{D^{(*)}}$ and $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ data. As a…
We construct a new realization of type-II seesaw for neutrino masses and baryon asymmetry by extending the standard model with one light and two heavy singlet scalars besides one Higgs triplet. The heavy singlets pick up small vacuum…
We study the effect of a light charged Higgs appearing in supersymmetric models containing two Higgs doublets on the measurement of leptonic branching ratios of the W boson at LEP. We show that the $2.8 \sigma$ excess of the branching ratio…
The possibility of a light charged Higgs boson $H^\pm$ that decays predominantly to $cb$ and with a mass in the range 80 GeV $\le M_{H^\pm} \le 90$ GeV is studied in the context of a 3-Higgs Doublet Model (3HDM). Searches for this decay at…
We suggest an explanation for and explore the consequences of the excess around 95 GeV in the di-photon and di-tau invariant mass distributions recently reported by the CMS collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), together with the…
The latest LHC data confirmed the existence of a Higgs-like particle and made interesting measurements on its decays into $\gamma \gamma$, $Z Z^\ast$, $W W^\ast$, $\tau^+ \tau^-$, and $b \bar{b}$. It is expected that a decay into $Z \gamma$…
The Large Hadron Collider is shown to have great scope for a light charged Higgs discovery, in the context of the CP-violating type-I two Higgs doublet model. This scenario with similar masses of $H^\pm$ and W was suggested by the puzzling…
Search for light (within the mass range 84-200 GeV) doubly-charged Higgs bosons decaying into a pair of W-bosons has been deemed challenging using the conventional LHC searches with leptons, jets and missing transverse momentum in the final…
A search for doubly charged Higgs bosons with pairs of prompt, isolated, highly energetic leptons with the same electric charge is presented. The search uses a proton-proton collision data sample at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV…
Imposing the theoretical constraints from vacuum stability, unitarity and perturbativity as well as the experimental constraints from the electroweak precision data, flavor observables and the non-observation of additional Higgs at…
We study the discovery limits for doubly charged Higgs bosons, Delta^{--}, obtainable at the LEP e^+e^- collider. We expect that the LEP2 collaborations can rule out the existence of a doubly charged Higgs boson of mass below about 190 GeV…
We perform in the type II seesaw setting, a detailed study of the dynamical features of the corresponding general renormalizable doublet/triplet Higgs potential that depends on five dimensionless couplings and two mass parameters after…
