A very plausible explanation for the recently observed diphoton excess at the 13 TeV LHC is a (pseudo)scalar with mass around 750 GeV, which couples to a gluon pair and to a photon pair through loops involving vector-like quarks (VLQs). To…
An electroweak singlet scalar can couple to pairs of vector bosons through loop-induced dimension five operators. Compared to a Standard Model Higgs boson, the singlet decay widths in the diphotons and Z gamma channels are generically…
With the Higgs search program already quite mature, there is the exciting possibility of discovering a new particle with rates near that of the SM Higgs. We consider models with a signal in $\gamma \gamma$ below the SM Higgs mass, taking…
The CMS collaboration has recently reported the results of a low-mass Higgs-boson search in the di-photon final state based on the full Run 2 data set with refined analysis techniques. The new results show an excess of events at a mass of…
Doubly charged Higgs bosons are predicted in many new physics models with an extended Higgs sector that contains a Higgs triplet field. Current experimental searches have been focusing mainly on the scenario in which the same-sign dilepton…
The isospin doublet scalar field with hypercharge 3/2 is introduced in some new physics models such as tiny neutrino masses. Detecting the doubly charged scalar bosons from the doublet field can be a good probe of such models. However,…
We show that a 750 GeV di-photon excess as reported by the ATLAS and CMS experiments can be reproduced by the Minimal Dirac Gaugino Supersymmetric Standard Model (MDGSSM) without the need of any ad-hoc addition of new states. The scalar…
In many extensions of the Standard Model the Higgs boson can decay into two light scalars each of which then subsequently decay into two photons. The underlying event is h $\to$ 4$\gamma$, but the kinematics from boosted light scalar decays…
There are several excesses of events in current LHC data, yet not exceeding the level of significance which would make them to be considered as firm. They point to the possibility of the presence of a new Higgs particle in the spectrum, in…
The lighter mass eigenstate ($\widetilde{t}_1$) of the two top squarks, the scalar superpartners of the top quark, is extremely difficult to discover if it is almost degenerate with the lightest neutralino ($\widetilde{\chi}_1^0$), the…
One of the most exciting explanations advanced for the recent diphoton excess found by ATLAS and CMS is in terms of sgoldstino decays: a signal of low-energy supersymmetry-breaking scenarios. The sgoldstino, a scalar, couples directly to…
Physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) may manifest itself as small deviations from the SM predictions for Higgs signal strengths at 125 GeV. Then, a plausible and interesting possibility is that the Higgs sector is extended and at the weak…
In the general Higgs portal like models, the extra neutral scalar, $S$, can mix with the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson, $H$. We perform an exploratory study focusing on the direct search for such a light singlet $S$ at the Large Hadron…
Recently, an excess of events in diphoton channel with invariant mass of about 750 GeV has been reported by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations. Considering it as a tantalizing hint for new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM), we propose a…
We propose an economic extension of minimal supersymmetric standard model with a SU(2) singlet and Y=0 triplet, which can explain (i) the 125 GeV Higgs boson without fine tuning, (ii) the 130 GeV $\gamma$-ray line seen at Fermi-LAT, (as…
The newly discovered resonance at 125 GeV has properties consistent with the Standard Model (SM) Higgs particle, although some production and/or decay channels currently exhibit O(1) deviations. We consider scenarios with a new scalar…
Motivated by the possible 95 GeV diphoton excess, we investigate the capability of the Type-I Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM-I) to explain this signal under current theoretical and experimental constraints. Using full Monte Carlo (MC)…
Moriond 2013 ALTAS data at 125 GeV state appears to exhibit a substantial excess in the di-photon final state and in the ZZ decaying to four lepton channel, whereas which are more or less SM-like rate observed by CMS MVA analysis. We…
We consider the collider signals arising from kinetic mixing between the hypercharge gauge boson of the Standard Model and its twin counterpart in the Mirror Twin Higgs model, in the framework in which the twin photon is massive. Through…
It is possible to ameliorate the Higgs vacuum stability problem by switching over to two Higgs doublet models (2HDM), ensuring a stable electroweak vacuum up to the Planck scale, even though the top quark mass may be on the high side.…
