Extensions of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with additional singlet scalar fields solve the important mu-parameter fine tuning problem of the MSSM. We compute and compare the neutral Higgs boson mass spectra, including…
The scalar potential of the two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) may have more than one local minimum and the usually considered vacuum could be located at one of them that could decay to another. This paper studies the condition that the usually…
There could be another scalar in nature quasi-degenerate with the observed one (h125). This is possible in models such as the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM). The scenario(s) with a single Higgs boson can be compared…
Two-Higgs-Doublet-Models (THDMs) are among the simplest extensions of the standard model and are intensively studied in the literature. Using on-shell parameters such as the masses of the additional scalars as input, corresponds often to…
We determine the allowed parameter space of the CP-conserving two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) of type II with a softly broken Z_2 symmetry. Our analysis includes theoretical constraints from vacuum stability and perturbativity as well as…
Two Higgs doublet models (2HDM) provide the low energy effective field theory (EFT) description in many well motivated extensions of the Standard Model. It is therefore relevant to study their properties, as well as the theoretical…
We discuss the connections between the recently observed Higgs-like particle and rare B decays in the context of two Higgs doublet models (2HDMs). The measured decays of the Higgs boson to fermions and gauge bosons, along with the…
The search for evidence of extended electroweak symmetry breaking has entered a new phase with the discovery of a Standard Model (SM)-like Higgs at the LHC. The measurement of Higgs couplings and direct searches for additional scalars…
The scenario of two mass-degenerate Higgs bosons within the general two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) is revisited. We focus on the global picture when two $CP$-even Higgs bosons of $h$ and $H$ are nearly mass-degenerate. A global fit to the…
We present a fit to the 2012 LHC Higgs data in different supersymmetric frameworks using naturalness as a guiding principle. We consider the MSSM and its D-term and F-term extensions that can raise the tree-level Higgs mass. When adding an…
We perform a detailed study of the fine-tuning of the two-site, 4D, Next-to-Minimal Composite Higgs Model (NMCHM), based on the global symmetry breaking pattern $SO(6)\rightarrow SO(5)$. Using our previously-defined fine-tuning measure that…
The confirmation of the Higgs boson in Run I data at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the excesses in recent Run II data suggest scenarios beyond the Standard Model (SM). We pursue a study in a minimal model which is an extension of a…
In this thesis, we investigate the implications of the LHC Higgs data on different BSM scenarios. Since the data seem to agree with the SM expectations, any nonstandard couplings will be strongly constrained. First we investigate, in a…
We discuss phenomenological consequences of requiring the cancellation of one-loop quadratic divergences in corrections to scalar masses within Two-Higgs-Doublet Models (2HDM). It is shown that the Inert Doublet Model (IDM) can not…
The LHC is now studying in detail the couplings of the Higgs boson in order to determine if there is new physics. Many recent studies have examined the available fits to Higgs couplings from the perspective of constraining two Higgs doublet…
The Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) offers a rich framework embedding physics beyond the Standard Model as well as consistent interpretations of the results about the Higgs signal detected at the LHC. We investigate…
We study the vacuum behavior at one loop level in extended Higgs sectors with two doublets (2HDM), where $U(1)$ and $Z_{2}$ symmetries are considered to protect the $CP$ symmetry in the Higgs potential and to avoid Flavor Changing Neutral…
We investigate the reduction of a general TeV-scale supersymmetric extra U(1) model to a 2HDM below the TeV- scale through the tree level non-decoupling. Portions of the parameter space of the extra U(1) model appropriate for obtaining a…
We confront the most common CP-conserving 2HDM with the LHC data analysed so far while taking into account all previously available experimental data. A special allowed corner of the parameter space is analysed - the so-called wrong-sign…
We study the non-minimal composite Higgs model with global symmetry $\text{SO}(7)$ broken to $\text{SO}(5)\times \text{SO}(2)$. The model results in a composite Two-Higgs doublet model (2HDM) equipped with two extra singlets, the lightest…
