Following arXiv:1506.00612, an effective field theory approach has been introduced for two additional real scalars, $H$ and $\chi$, to study the associated Higgs boson ($h$) production with top quarks at the Large Hadron Collider with…
The associated production of a single top quark together with a Higgs boson at the LHC can be used to lift the degeneracy regarding the sign of the top quark Yukawa coupling. Therefore, t-channel and tW-channel production where the Higgs…

We consider the effects in the production via gluon fusion in LHC collisions of one or two spin-zero new resonant particles $\Phi$ that decay into a top quark pair. We revisit previous analyses of the interferences between the heavy-fermion…
According to the helicity conservation (HCns) theorem, the sum of the helicities should be conserved, in any 2-to-2 processes in MSSM with R-parity conservation, at high energies; i.e. all amplitudes violating this rule, must vanish…
In the context of the Standard Model effective field theory (SMEFT) we examine the constraints on the trilinear Higgs coupling that originate from off-shell Higgs production in proton-proton collisions. Our calculation of the $gg \to h^\ast…
After the Higgs boson discovery, a main focus at the CERN LHC has been the measurement of its properties. Observing the Higgs boson associated production with a top quark-antiquark pair ($\mathrm{t\bar{t}H}$) is particularly interesting…
We discuss associated production of a Higgs boson with a pair of $t {\bar t}$ quarks at a future high energy $e^+e^-$ collider. The process $e^+e^-\to t {\bar t}h$ is particularly sensitive to the presence of new physics and we consider the…
Top-quark decays are sensitive probes of light charged Higgs bosons ($H^\pm$) due to the sizable $t\bar t$ production cross section at the LHC in conjunction with their distinct experimental signatures. While dedicated ATLAS and CMS…
We perform a detailed study of the exclusive Higgs decays $h\to MZ$ and $h\to MW$, where $M$ is a pseudoscalar or vector meson, using the QCD factorization approach. We allow for the presence of new-physics effects in the form of modified…
We study the five chirality-flipping interactions that appear in the top-Higgs sector at leading order in the standard model effective field theory. We consider constraints from collider observables, flavor physics, and…
We study the Higgs boson decays and production via gluon fusion at the LHC as a probe of two typical littlest Higgs models which introduce a top quark partner with different (even and odd) T-parity to cancel the Higgs mass quadratic…
If the soft Supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking masses and couplings are complex, then the associated CP-violating phases can in principle modify the known phenomenological pattern of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We…
