We consider the fully constrained version of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model (cNMSSM) in which a singlet Higgs superfield is added to the two doublets that are present in the minimal extension (MSSM).…
We apply the unitarity bounds and the bounded-from-below (BFB) bounds to the most general scalar potential of the two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM). We do this in the Higgs basis, i.e. in the basis for the scalar doublets where only one…
We discuss a model in which the Standard Model (SM) Higgs sector has been extended by additional real and complex triplets. The $\rho\approx 1$ constraint is satisfied by restricting the potential to have an enlarged $\hisym $ global…
This article reviews the theoretical constraints on the scalar potential of a general extension of the Standard Model that encompasses a $SU(3)_c\times SU(3)_L\times U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry. In this respect, the boundedness-from-below is…
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…
In this article we examine the prospect of first order phase transition with a Y=0 real $SU(2)$ triplet extension of the Standard Model, which remains odd under $Z_2$, considering the observed Higgs boson mass, perturbative unitarity, dark…
The discovery of Standard-Model like Higgs at 125 GeV may raise more questions than the answers it provides. In particular, the hierarchy problem remains unsolved, and the Standard Model Higgs quartic self-coupling becomes negative below…
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.…
We use a functional approach based on the background-field formalism and the expansion by regions to integrate out the heavy Higgs field (associated with the mass eigenstate H) in a singlet extension of the Standard Model (SM) at the…
We study the minimal set of Higgs scalars, for models based on the local gauge group $SU(3)_c \otimes SU(3)_L \otimes U(1)_X$ which do not contain particles with exotic electric charges. We show that only two Higgs $SU(3)_L$ triplets are…
In the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), the $SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y$ symmetry of the Standard Model is linearly realized. However, it is possible that more general effective field theories, such as the Higgs Effective Field…
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…
A realistic SU(3)_C x SU(3)_W unified theory is constructed with a TeV sized extra dimension compactified on the orbifold S_1/Z_2, leaving only the standard model gauge group SU(3)_C x SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y unbroken in the low energy 4D theory.…
The minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) is extended by including an additional pair of constrained Higgs doublet superfields through which the electroweak symmetry is nonlinearly realized. The superpotential couplings of this…
We perform a thorough scan of the parameter space of a general singlet scalar extension of the Standard Model to identify the regions which can lead to a strong first-order phase transition, as required by the electroweak baryogenesis…
We consider the extension of the Standard Model by a complex scalar triplet field, which occurs naturally in several models of leptogenesis and see-saw mechanism for neutrino mass generation, in the context of ameliorating the fine-tuning…
We investigate the effect of extra singlets on the electroweak phase transition (EWPT) strength and the spectrum of the corresponding gravitational waves (GWs). We consider here the standard model (SM) extended with a singlet scalar with…
Since the discovery of a Higgs particle the effective Higgs potential of the Standard Model or extensions and the stability of the ground state corresponding to its minimum at the electroweak scale have been subject to a lot of…
We analyze the scalar sector properties of a general class of two-Higgs-doublet models which has a global U(1) symmetry in the quartic terms. We find constraints on the parameters of the potential from the considerations of unitarity of…
We consider a simple extension of the Standard Model by the addition of N real scalar gauge singlets $\vp$ that are candidates for Dark Matter. By collecting theoretical and experimental constraints we determine the space of allowed…
