We combine searches for scalar resonances at the electroweak scale performed by the Large Hadron Collider experiments ATLAS and CMS where persisted excesses have been observed in recent years. Using both the side-bands of Standard Model…
A new heavy $Z'$ vector boson provides a possible explanation for the neutral current B anomalies and points to the scale where we expect the solution to the hierarchy problem to appear. In this paper, we explore a modified Top Seesaw model…
A search is reported for a light pseudoscalar Higgs boson decaying to a pair of tau leptons, produced in association with a b b-bar pair, in the context of two-Higgs-doublet models. The results are based on pp collision data at a…
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…
The discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has a great impact on the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM). In the context of the constrained MSSM (CMSSM) and its extension with non-universal…
We expand the previous analyses of the conformal barrier on the walking technirho for the 2 TeV diboson excesses reported by the ATLAS collaboration, with a special emphasis on the hidden local symmetry (HLS) constraints. We first show that…
Composite Higgs models based on SU(5)/SO(5) are characterised by the presence of custodial triplets, like the Georgi-Machacek model. We classify all the operators giving rise to the top mass and Higgs potential in presence of fermion…
The search for the effects of heavy fermions in the extension of the Standard Model with a fourth generation is part of the experimental program of the Tevatron and LHC experiments. Besides being directly produced, these states affect…
In view of the recent diboson resonant excesses reported by both ATLAS and CMS Collaborations, we suggest that a new weak singlet pseudo-scalar particle, $\eta_W$, may decay into two weak bosons while being produced in gluon fusion at the…
Excesses in di-photon, $Z\gamma$, and $WW$ spectra indicate the existence of a new Higgs boson with mass $152 \pm 1$ GeV. However, no excess is observed in the $ZZ$ channel. This pattern aligns with a Real Higgs Triplet model with…
In this work, we explore how the 2-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) Type-I, extended by an inert doublet, can provide an explanation for the recently observed excesses at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the $\gamma\gamma$ and $\tau^+ \tau^- $…
We combine results from CDF and D0 on direct searches for a standard model (SM) Higgs boson (H) in ppbar collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV. Compared to the previous Tevatron Higgs search combination more data have been…
A search for the standard model (SM) Higgs boson ($\mathrm{H}$) decaying to $\mathrm{b}\overline{\mathrm{b}}$ when produced in association with an electroweak vector boson is reported for the following processes:…

The actual realization of the electroweak symmetry breaking in the context of a natural extension of the Standard Model (SM) and the nature of Dark Matter (DM) are two of the most compelling questions in high-energy particle physics.…

Composite Higgs models, together with partial compositeness, predict the existence of new scalars and vector-like quarks (partners) at and above the TeV scale. Generically, the presence of these additional scalars opens up new decay…
Composite Higgs models can trivially satisfy precision-electroweak and flavour constraints by simply having a large spontaneous symmetry breaking scale, f > 10 TeV. This produces a 'split' spectrum, where the strong sector resonances have…
Recently the ATLAS and CMS collaborations presented preliminary results of Standard Model Higgs searches and reported excesses of events for a Higgs boson at 124-126 GeV. Such a Higgs mass can be naturally realized, simultaneously…
