We study Little Higgs models based on a SU(3)_1 x SU(3)_2 global symmetry and with two scales (the two vacuum expectation values f_{1,2}) substantially different. We show that all the extra vector boson fields present in these models may be…
The custodial Two-Higgs-Doublet-Model with SU(2) gauge fields is studied on the lattice. This model has the same global symmetry structure as the Standard Model but the additional Higgs field enlarges the scalar spectrum and opens the…
The production of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson (H) in association with a jet is compared with that of the lightest scalar Higgs boson (h^0) and the pseudoscalar Higgs boson (A^0) of the Minimal Supersymmetric Model (MSSM) at both the…
We have investigated some phenomenological aspects of an $SU(2)\times U(1)$ scenario where scalars belonging to arbitrary representations of $SU(2)$ are involved in electroweak symmetry breaking. The resulting interaction terms are derived.…
Charged Higgs bosons are predicted in variety of theoretically well-motivated new physics models with extended Higgs sectors. In this study, we focus on a type-II two Higgs doublet model (2HDM-II) and consider a heavy charged Higgs with its…
Three extensions of the scalar sector of the Standard Model are considered: one extra isosinglet, one extra isotriplet, two extra isotriplets (the Georgi-Machacek model). Double Higgs boson production cross section is calculated in all…
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…
We consider supersymmetric extensions of the standard model with a vector-like doublet $(T \, B)$ of quarks with charge $2/3$ and $-1/3$, respectively. Compared to non-supersymmetric models, there is a variety of new decay modes for the…
We review the role of the Higgs boson in preserving unitarity of the scattering amplitudes in the Standard Model (SM). We will look at the processes $\nu_e + \bar{\nu}_e \rightarrow W^-_L +W^+_L $, $ W^-_L + W^+_L \rightarrow W^-_L +W^+_L $…
We present Higgs boson mass bounds in a lattice regularization allowing thus for non-perturbative investigations. In particular, we employ a lattice modified chiral invariant Higgs-Yukawa model using the overlap operator. We show results…
Most models of new physics contain extended Higgs sectors with multiple Higgs bosons. The observation of an additional Higgs boson, besides the $\sim 125$ GeV `$h_{\rm obs}$', will thus serve as an irrefutable evidence of physics beyond the…
Longitudinal vector boson scattering provides an important probe of electroweak symmetry breaking, bringing sensitivity to physics beyond the Standard Model as well as constraining properties of the Higgs boson. It is a difficult process to…
We explore the phenomenology of charged Higgs bosons ($H^\pm$) and Vector-Like Quarks (VLQs), specifically the top-like $T$, within the Two Higgs Doublet Model Type-II (2HDM-II). We consider both a singlet VLQ $(T)$ and a doublet $(TB)$…
Using asymptotic helicity amplitudes for Vector-Vector, Vector-Higgs and Higgs-Higgs scattering, we establish the unitarity constraints on the $SU(2)_c$ conserving and $W_\mu$ depending interactions, which at sufficiently high energies may…
In this study we consider an extension of the Standard Model with a complex hypercharge zero triplet scalar. In this scenario one of the charged Higgs bosons remains purely triplet and does not couple to the fermions, making it elusive at…
Supersymmetric models with a strongly interacting superconformal hidden sector (HS) may drive soft SUSY breaking scalar masses, bilinear soft term B\mu and Higgs combinations m_{H_{u,d}}^2+\mu^2 to small values at some intermediate scale,…
Some vectorlike quarks are added to the Higgs triplet model with the motivation of fitting the recent Higgs boson data released by LHC and Tevatron collaborations. These vectorlike quarks can suppress the cross section of $gg\to h$ sizably,…
Current CERN Large Hadron Collider data on the 126 GeV standard model-like Higgs boson suggest the possibility of larger Higgs boson couplings with the weak gauge bosons, $g_{hVV}$, than those in the standard model. We use the…
The scalar sector of the Standard Model is extended to include an arbitrary assortment of scalars. In the case where this assignment does not preserve $\rho=1$ at the tree-level, the departure from unity itself puts the most stringent…
This review is based on the talk presented at the SUSY 2012 (Beijing). The new particle around 125 GeV observed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is almost consistent with the standard model Higgs boson, except that the diphoton decay mode…
