We study the deviation of Higgs production through the gluon fusion process and the decay of Higgs boson to the bottom quark and the tau lepton in gauge-Higgs unification from the Standard Model prediction. We find that the signal strength…
The present experimental status of searches for lepton flavor violating decays of the $\tau$ lepton to a lighter mass lepton and a photon or a pseudoscalar meson is presented. The results obtained are from $e^+e^-$ annihilation data…
We search for pair production of doubly charged Higgs particles followed by decays into electron-tau and muon-tau pairs using data (350 inverse picobarns) collected from proton-antiproton collisions at 1.96 TeV by the CDF II experiment. We…
The measurement of quantum entanglement can provide a new and most sensitive probe to physics beyond the Standard Model. We use the concurrence of the top-quark pair spin states produced at colliders to constrain the magnetic dipole term in…
We explore new physics scenarios which are optimally probed through precision Higgs measurements rather than direct collider searches. Such theories consist of additional electroweak charged or singlet states which couple directly to or mix…
We explore Two Higgs Doublet Models with non-standard flavor structures. In analogy to the four, well studied, models with natural flavor conservation (type 1, type 2, lepton-specific, flipped), we identify four models that preserve an…
The possibility of detecting double flavor violating top quark transitions at future colliders is explored in a model-independent manner using the effective Lagrangian approach through the $t \to u_i\tau \mu$ ($u_i=u,c$) decays. A Yukawa…
The rather precise knowledge of the mass of the Higgs boson and of its couplings has important consequences for the physical phenomena taking place at the Fermi scale. We analyze some of these implications in the most motivated frameworks…
The Belle II experiment recently observed the decay $B^+ \to K^+ \nu \nu$ for the first time, with a measured value for the branching ratio of $ (2.3 \pm 0.7) \times 10^{-5}$. This result exhibits a $\sim 3\sigma$ deviation from the…
We explore the parameter space of lepton flavor violating (LFV) neutral Higgs Yukawa couplings with the muon and tau leptons that can be probed at the high-luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) via the vector boson fusion~(VBF) Higgs…
The triplet Higgs model, which is an extension of the standard model with a weak-scale triplet Higgs boson, is capable of generating small neutrino masses naturally. We investigate lepton flavor violation mediated by the triplet Higgs…
In a general two Higgs doublet model (2HDM), the anomaly of muon anomalous magnetic moment (muon g-2) can be explained by $\mu-\tau$ flavor violating Yukawa couplings, motivated by the recent CMS excess in Higgs boson decay $h\rightarrow…
We explore the discovery potential for lepton flavor-violating Higgs boson decays, $h \to \ell_i \ell_j$ ($\ell_i \neq \ell_j$; $\ell = e, \mu, \tau$), in proton-proton collisions. The analysis is performed within a Froggatt-Nielsen…
Various precision determinations of the Fermi constant are compared. Included are muon and (leptonic) tau decays as well as indirect prescriptions employing $\alpha, m_Z, m_W, \ssthwmzms, \Gamma(Z\to\ell^+\ell^-)$, and $\Gamma(Z \to \nu\bar…
The quartic scalar coupling $\lambda_5$ term, which violates the lepton-number by two units in the Ma-model, is phenomenologically small when the model is applied to the lepton-flavor violation (LFV) processes. In order to dynamically…
The existence of charged Higgs boson(s) is inevitable in models with two (or more) Higgs doublets. Hence, their discovery would constitute unambiguous evidence for new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). Taking into account all relevant…
We show that new physics explanations of the muon $g-2$ anomaly by the contributions of new leptons mediated by the standard model Higgs boson necessarily lead to large rates for $\mu^+ \mu^- \to hh$ and $\mu^+ \mu^- \to hhh$ irrespectively…
In several searches for additional Higgs bosons at the LHC, in particular in a CMS search exploring decays to pairs of top quarks, $t \bar t$, and in an ATLAS search studying tau leptons, $\tau^+\tau^-$, local excesses of about $3\,\sigma$…
