In light of the discovery of a Standard Model (SM)-like Higgs boson ($h$) at the LHC, we investigate the top quark to Higgs boson transition $t\rightarrow W^{*}bh$, which is the leading $t\to h$ decay mode in the SM. We find the decay…
We investigate the muonic decay of a light Higgs boson, produced in weak boson fusion at future hadron colliders. We find that this decay mode would be observable at the CERN LHC only with an unreasonably large amount of data, while at a…
Higgs bosons which decay principally to top quarks, such as in the minimal supersymmetric model, produce a peak-dip structure in the $gg\to t\bar t$ invariant-mass spectrum. This structure is potentially observable at the CERN Large Hadron…
The charged Higgs boson plays an essential role in distinguishing between a wide variety of standard model extensions with multiple Higgs doublets, and has been searched for in various collider experiments. This paper expands our previous…
We present strategies to search for heavy neutral Higgs bosons decaying to top quark pairs, as often occurs at low $\tan \beta$ in type II two Higgs doublet models such as the Higgs sector of the MSSM. The resonant production channel is…
The prospect of future electron-positron colliders operating as "Higgs factories" in a clean experimental environment presents one of the most promising avenues for Higgs precision measurements. In order to capitalise on this, we need to…
Searches for light $H^\pm$s via $t\to H^\pm b$ are being carried out at the LHC. Herein, it is normally assumed that the dominant decay channels are $H^\pm\to \tau\nu$ and $H^\pm\to cs$ and separate data analyses are performed with…
We analyse the signature of a light Higgs boson pair in the 2-Higgs Doublet Model(2HDM) Type-X (or lepton specific) over the parameter spaces allowed by theoretical self-consistency requirements as well as the latest experimental…
For a heavy Higgs boson above the $t\bar t$ threshold we consider three decay modes that could compete with decay to $t\bar t$, even in the alignment limit of a 2-Higgs doublet model. The decays $H\to AZ$, $ Z'Z'$ and $\tau'\tau'$ show that…
The dominant decay mode of standard model Higgs at 126 GeV $b\bar{b}$ suffers from severe SM background at the LHC even in associated productions $Wh_{\rm SM}$ or $Z h_{\rm SM}$. The precision measurement of BR($\phi\to b\bar{b})$ requires…
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…
Most of the current experimental searches for charged Higgs bosons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) concentrate upon the $tb$ and $\tau\nu$ decay channels. In the present study, we analyze instead the feasibility of the bosonic decay…
The possibility of a light charged Higgs boson $H^\pm$ that decays predominantly to $cb$ and with a mass in the range 80 GeV $\le M_{H^\pm} \le 90$ GeV is studied in the context of a 3-Higgs Doublet Model (3HDM). Searches for this decay at…
We discus the muonic decay of light charged Higgs boson for $m_{H^\pm}\le m_t-m_b$ in the context of the generic two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) type-III. We show that for both alignment limit scenarios, the $H^\pm\to\mu\nu$ signal could be…
The discovery of the Higgs boson has led to new possible signatures for heavy resonance searches at the LHC. Since then, search channels including at least one Higgs boson plus another particle have formed an important part of the program…
I discuss the decay modes of the neutral and charged Higgs bosons in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. Special emphasis will be put on the the QCD corrections to the hadronic decay modes, the below threshold -three…
A search for heavy resonances with masses above 1 TeV, decaying to final states containing a vector boson and a Higgs boson, is presented. The search considers hadronic decays of the vector boson, and Higgs boson decays to b quarks. The…
We study the six classical event-shape observables in hadronic Higgs decays at next-to-leading order in QCD. To this end, we consider the decay of on-shell Higgs bosons to three partons, taking into account both the Yukawa-induced decay to…
The results of the searches for a Higgs boson decaying to down-type fermions are presented using the proton-proton collision data collected by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC, at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 and 8 TeV. The results…
The LHC potential for a measurement of the Higgs boson coupling to the b quark in the standard model is not well established yet. We show that requiring a large transverse momentum photon in the light Higgs boson production via vector-boson…
