The Higgs boson production cross-sections and decay rates depend, within the Standard Model (SM), on a single unknown parameter, the Higgs mass. In composite Higgs models where the Higgs boson emerges as a pseudo-Goldstone boson from a…

If the Higgs boson has a composite nature, it might be the 4-dimensional hologram of a gauge field living in a warped extra dimension. In this talk I discuss a minimal, calculable model that passes all electroweak precision tests, included…
We study the double Higgs boson production processes $e^+e^- \to hh f\bar{f}$ ($f\neq t$) with $h$ being the 125 GeV Higgs boson in the two-Higgs-doublet model with a softly-broken $Z_2$ symmetry. The cross section can be significantly…
