With a second Higgs doublet, extra Yukawa couplings $\rho_{ij}$ generally exist. Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe (BAU) can be accounted for by $\rho_{tt} \sim {\cal O}(1)$, with first order electroweak phase transition (EWPT) arising from…
Higgs production from gluon fusion is sensitive to the properties of heavy colored fermions and to the Yukawa couplings, (Y_F M_F)/v, of these particles to the Higgs boson. We compute the two--loop, ${\cal O}((Y_F M_F)^3/v^3)$ contributions…
We implement a comprehensive and detailed study of the alignment of Yukawa couplings in the so-called Higgs basis taking the framework of general two Higgs doublet models (2HDMs). We clarify the model input parameters and derive the Yukawa…

The unification of gauge and top Yukawa couplings is an attractive feature of gauge-Higgs unification models in extra-dimensions. This feature is usually considered difficult to obtain based on simple group theory analyses. We reconsider a…
The processes e+e- -> t tbar/b bbar + Higgs allow to measure the Yukawa couplings between Higgs bosons and heavy quarks in supersymmetric theories. The complete set of next-to-leading order SUSY-QCD corrections to the cross sections of…
The Standard Model (SM), when extended with a leptoquark (LQ) and right-handed neutrinos, can have interesting new implications for Higgs physics. We show that sterile neutrinos can induce a boost to the down-type quark Yukawa interactions…

The LHC experiments have analyzed the 7 and 8 TeV LHC data in the main Higgs production and decay modes. Current analyses only loosely constrain an anomalous top-Higgs coupling in a direct way. In order to strongly constrain this coupling,…
To measure the Yukawa couplings of the up and down quarks, Y_{u,d}, seems to be far beyond the capabilities of current and (near) future experiments in particle physics. By performing a general analysis of the potential misalignment between…
In the standard model, the Higgs boson $h$ couples to the quarks and charged leptons according to the well-known formula $(m_\psi/v) h \bar{\psi}\psi$, where $\psi$ = quark (q) or lepton (l) and $v$ = 246 GeV is its vacuum expectation…
Yukawa couplings between Higgs bosons and quarks in the Standard Model (SM) and supersymmetric theories can be measured in the processes e+e- -> Q\bar{Q} + Higgs. The cross sections and Higgs energy distributions of these processes in the…
In this paper we propose a new reconstruction method to explore the low mass region in the associated production of top-quark pairs ($t\bar{t}$) with a generic scalar boson ($\phi$) at the LHC. The new method of mass reconstruction shows an…
We perform global fits of the Higgs boson couplings to the full Higgs datasets collected at the LHC with the integrated luminosities per experiment of approximately 5/fb at 7 TeV, 20/fb at 8 TeV, and up to 139/fb at 13 TeV. Our combined…
With the deeper study of Higgs particle, Higgs precision measurements can be served to probe new physics indirectly. In many new physics models, vector-like quarks $T_L,~T_R$ occur naturally. It is important to probe their couplings with…
Higgs production in weak boson fusion with subsequent decay H to tau tau to e mu p_T_miss provides a means to measure Higgs Yukawa couplings and Higgs interactions to weak bosons. The potential precision of cross section measurements at a…

The present upper bound on $\kappa_e$, the ratio between the electron Yukawa coupling and its Standard Model value, is of ${\cal O}(600)$. We ask what would be the implications in case that $\kappa_e$ is close to this upper bound. The…
A search is presented for the production of a Higgs boson in association with a single top quark, based on data collected in 2016 by the CMS experiment at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, which corresponds to an integrated…
We show that the rate for di-Higgs production at the LHC can be enhanced by a factor as large as 25 compared to the Standard Model value in the two Higgs doublet model while being consistent with the known properties of the observed Higgs…
