We perform a preliminary study of the ability of the Higgs decay to four leptons to shed light on the top quark Yukawa couplings. In particular we examine whether the $h\to 4\ell$ `golden channel' is sensitive to the $CP$ properties of the…
Since decays to four leptons is widely considered a promising way to search for the Higgs particle, we show how the same final state can also be used to search for signals of CP nonconservation. Energy asymmetries and triple correlations…

We study the prospect of determining the CP violating phase in $\tau$-lepton Yukawa coupling at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). While the current run is already exploring the production of a pair of the third generation $\tau$ leptons from…
The determination of the CP nature of the top quark Yukawa coupling is addressed in this phenomenological work, using $t\bar{t}h$ events at the $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV LHC, with $h\rightarrow b\bar b$ and through the dilepton decay channel of…
I review new developments in Higgs physics, with a focus on Yukawa couplings in and beyond the standard model. In particular, I discuss different methods of measuring the light Yukawas, new sources of CP violation in the Higgs sector, and…
A search for the production of a Higgs boson in association with a single top quark (tH) is performed using the decay $\text{H} \to \text{b}\bar{\text{b}}$. This Higgs boson production mode is sensitive to the coupling modifiers of the…
We study a supersymmetric extension of the vector-like lepton scenario, such that the vacuum instability induced by large lepton Yukawa couplings is lifted by the presence of superpartners at or below the TeV scale. In order to preserve the…

In many extensions of the standard model, there exist a few extra Higgs bosons. Suppose a heavy neutral Higgs boson H is discovered at the LHC, one could then investigate CP and CPT~ properties of its couplings to a pair of $Z$ bosons…
