In the context of two Higgs doublet models, we study the conditions required in order to have stable quasi-alignment in flavour space. We show that stability under the RGE imposes strong constraints on the flavour structure of the Yukawa…
Extension of the SM with one extra Higgs doublet may give rise to flavor-changing-scalar coupling of a neutral Higgs to a pair of top-charm quarks. This coupling gives rise to a large tree-level effective W^+W^-;ZZ - Higgs - t bar-c…
Motivated by the principle of natural flavour conservation, searches for signatures of a second scalar doublet at the LHC are usually limited to models with a very restricted Yukawa structure. Strong correlations between the scalar…
It is widely believed that existing electroweak data requires a Standard Model Higgs to be light while electroweak and flavour physics constraints require other scalars charged under the Standard Model gauge couplings to be heavy. We…
The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics fails to explain the observed hierarchy in fermion masses or the origin of fermion-flavor structure. We construct a model to explain these observations in the quark sector. We introduce a spectrum…
Flavor violating Higgs signals, such as the top FCNC decay $t\to ch^0$ and the LFV Higgs decay $h^0\to \tau\mu$, have been studied at the LHC. These signals can arise within the general Two-Higgs doublet model (THDM), where each Higgs…
In the context of a warped extra-dimension with Standard Model fields in the bulk, we obtain the general flavor structure of the Higgs couplings to fermions. These couplings will be generically misaligned with respect to the fermion mass…
We systematically study model-independent constraints on the three generic charged Higgs couplings to $b$-quarks and up-type quarks. While existing LHC searches have focussed on the $tb$ coupling, we emphasize that the LHC plays a crucial…
The aim of the thesis is to study models of the electroweak symmetry breaking caused by dynamically generated masses of quarks and leptons. (1) We perform the basic analysis whether the main underlying idea, that the masses of only known…
We analyze the advantages of a linear-collider program for testing a recent theoretical proposal where the Higgs-boson Yukawa couplings are radiatively generated, keeping unchanged the standard-model mechanism for electroweak-gauge-symmetry…
We study quark flavor violating interactions mediated by the Higgs boson $h$. We consider observables involving a third generation quark, of both the up and the down quark sectors, like $h\rightarrow bs$ and $t\rightarrow ch$. Using an…
We suggest a novel approach towards resolving the fermion mass hierarchy problem within the framework of the Standard Model. It is shown that the observed masses and mixings can be explained with order one couplings using successive higher…
We analyse the production of a light charged Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) via the quark-fusion mechanism $c \bar{b} \to H^- $ considering the decay channel $H^- \to \tau \bar \nu_\tau$ in the final state. We study this…
A scenario is presented where the $s$, $c$, and $b$ quark fusion Higgs production cross sections are enhanced with respect to those of the Standard Model. In particular the $c$ quark fusion production is very important and can account for a…
With the assumptions that dark matter consists of an electroweak triplet and that the gauge couplings unify at a high scale, we identify robust phenomenological trends of possible matter contents at the TeV scale. In particular, we expect…
We study flavor changing neutral current decays of the top quark in the context of general warped extra dimensions, where the five dimensional metric is slightly modified from 5D anti-de-Sitter (AdS$_5$). These models address the…
We assume that weak bases of flavors (u, c)_{L,R}, (d,s)_{L,R}, (e, \mu) _{L,R}, (\nu_e, \nu_\mu)_{L,R} are the S_3 doublet and t_{L,R}, b_{L,R}, \tau_{L,R}, {\nu_\tau}_{L,R} are the S_3 singlet and further there are S_3 doublet Higgs…
One of the main motivations to look beyond the SM is the discrepancy between the theoretical prediction and observation of anomalous magnetic moment of muon. Alleviating this tension between theory and experiment and satisfying the bounds…
Soft supersymmetry-breaking terms provide a wealth of new potential sources of flavour violation, which are tightly constrained by precision experiments. This has posed a challenge to construct flavour models which both explain the…
Flavour- and CP-violating electromagnetic or chromomagnetic dipole operators in the quark sector are generated in a large class of new physics models and are strongly constrained by measurements of the neutron electric dipole moment and…
