We study a class of DFSZ-like models for the QCD axion that can address observed anomalies in stellar cooling. Stringent constraints from SN1987A and neutron stars are avoided by suppressed couplings to nucleons, while axion couplings to…
We study phenomenological constraints on a simple $3-3-1$ model with flavor violating Yukawa couplings. Both triplets Higgs couple to leptons and quarks, which generates flavor violating signals in both lepton and quark sectors. We have…
We review the decay properties and production mechanisms of the Standard-Model Higgs boson at a future e^+e^- linear collider with special emphasis on the influence of quantum corrections. We also discuss how its quantum numbers and…
We compute corrections to the decay of the Standard Model Higgs boson to hadrons, to the fourth order in the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$. We use an effective theory in which the Higgs boson couples directly to bottom quarks and to…
We point out that the stringent lower bounds on the masses of additional electrically neutral and charged Higgs bosons crucially depend on the flavour structure of their Yukawa interactions. We show that these bounds can easily be evaded by…
We derive stringent limits on neutrinophilic two-Higgs-doublet models from low-energy observables after the discovery of the Higgs boson and of the mixing angle $\theta_{13}$. These decays can constrain the plane spanned by $m_{H^\pm}$, the…
The present collider data put severe constraints on any type of new strongly-interacting particle coupling to the Higgs boson. We analyze the phenomenological limits on exotic quarks belonging to non-triplet SU(3)_C representations and…
The next generation of $e^{-}e^{+}$ colliders, particularly the CEPC and FCC-ee, will offer unprecedented precision to probe Higgs boson properties. In this work, we investigate the flavor-changing decay $h \rightarrow bs$ produced via…
We study CP violation in fermion pair decays of Higgs boson. We idenfy some CP odd observables related to the tree level decay amplitude. We find that a few thousand Higgs boson decay events can already provide important information about…
With no evidence of any exotic particle detected so far beyond the Standard Model, the new physics may lie above the presently accessible energies at colliders and, at low-energies, can be accounted for via an effective description. The…
After the discovery of the Higgs boson, several future experiments have been proposed to study the Higgs boson properties, including two circular lepton colliders, the CEPC and the FCC-ee, and one linear lepton collider, the ILC. We…
We define a set of pseudo-observables characterizing the properties of Higgs decays in generic extensions of the Standard Model with no new particles below the Higgs mass. The pseudo-observables can be determined from experimental data,…
ATLAS and CMS have reported an excess in the flavor violating decay of the Higgs boson, $h \rightarrow \mu \tau$. We show that this result can be accommodated through a mixing of the Higgs with a flavon, the field responsible for generating…
We discuss an alternative version of the electroweak standard model, in which only the heavy t quark, not the light fermions, couples to the Higgs boson with a strength given by the standard model. The Higgs particle decays dominantly into…
We predict the branching ratios of Z -> e^{\pm} \mu^{\pm}, Z -> e^{\pm} \tau^{\pm} and Z -> \mu^{\pm} \tau^{\pm} decays in the model III version of the two Higgs doublet model, with the inclusion of one and two spatial non-universal extra…
We study the possibility of explaining the recently found anomalies in B-meson decays within scenarios with a composite Higgs boson. This class of models provides a natural way to fit the experimental results, interpreting the anomalies as…
We consider the tentative indication of flavor-violating Higgs boson decay $h\to\mu\tau$ recently reported in the CMS experiment within the framework of minimal flavor violation. Specifically, we adopt the standard model extended with the…
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 predict the branching ratios of Z-> e^{\pm} \mu^{\pm}, Z-> e^{\pm} \tau^{\pm} and Z-> \mu^{\pm} \tau^{\pm} decays in the framework of the 2HDM with the inclusion of one and two extra dimensions, by considering that the new Higgs doublet…
Supersymmetric models with an additional singlet field offer the Higgs boson the possibility to decay to two pseudoscalars, a. If the mass of these pseudoscalars is above the b bbar threshold, a -> b bbar is generically the dominant decay…
