The nature of the electroweak phase transition in two-Higgs-doublet models is revisited in light of the recent LHC results. A scan over an extensive region of their parameter space is performed, showing that a strongly first-order phase…
The scalar singlet model extends the Standard Model with the addition of a new gauge singlet scalar. We re-examine the limits on the new scalar from oblique parameter fits and from a global fit to precision electroweak observables and…
It is well-known that type II two Higgs doublet models (2HDMs) can struggle to facilitate a strong first-order electroweak phase transition in the early universe whilst remaining theoretically appealing scenarios for many reasons. We…
It is well known that the electroweak phase transition (EWPhT) in extensions of the Standard Model with one real scalar singlet can be first-order for realistic values of the Higgs mass. We revisit this scenario with the most general…
The Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) provides a robust framework for probing deviations in the couplings of Standard Model particles from their theoretical predictions. This framework relies on an expansion in…
By adding the dimension-six operator for the Higgs potential (denoted $\mathcal{O}_6$) in Standard Model, we have a first-order electroweak phase transition (EWPT) whose strength is larger than unity. The cutoff parameter of the…
We have considered an effective field theory framework in which the Standard Model is extended by a non-renormalizable dimension six operator ($\frac{1}{\Lambda^2}(H^{\dagger}H)^3$) respecting the symmetries of the Standard Model. Such an…
We calculate the strength of the electroweak phase transition in a supersymmetric model with four chiral generations. The additional chiral fermions (and scalar partners) lower the critical temperature and thus strengthen the first-order…
We study the next-to-leading order electroweak corrections to Higgs processes from dimension-six top-quark operators in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory approach. We consider the major production channels, including $WH$, $ZH$, and…
We derive an effective dimensionally reduced theory for the Standard Model augmented by a real singlet scalar. We treat the singlet as a superheavy field and integrate it out, leaving an effective theory involving only the Higgs and…
The Higgs potential of the standard model with an additional real Higgs singlet is studied in order to examine if it may allow the strongly first order electroweak phase transition. It is found that there are parameter values for which this…
It is widely believed that the existence of singlet scalars in some Standard Model extensions can easily make the electroweak phase transition strongly first order, which is needed for the electroweak baryogenesis scenario. In this paper,…
This work investigates a simple, representative extension of the Standard Model with a real scalar singlet and spontaneous $Z_2$ breaking, which allows for a strongly first-order phase transition, as required by electroweak baryogenesis. We…
In this thesis, various extensions of the scalar sector have been considered comprising of different ${SU(2)_L}$ multiplets. If the extended scalar sector participates in the electroweak symmetry breaking then these extra scalars need to…
The extension of the standard model by a real gauge singlet scalar is the simplest but the most studied model with sometimes controversial ideas on the ability of the model to address the dark matter and the electroweak phase transition…
In this paper, a collider signature of a heavy Higgs boson at $14$ TeV HL-LHC is studied, where the heavy Higgs boson decays into a pair of standard model Higgs boson, which further decays to $bbZZ$ state and subsequently to $bb\ell^{+}…
In this work we revisit the existence of a strong first order electroweak phase transition (SFOEWPT) and recent $m_W$ precision measurement in the Type-I and Type-II 2HDMs. The O(100) GeV new scalars in 2HDMs are favored by SFOEWPT, which…
This article considers three non-zero hypercharge triplets as an extension of the Standard Model Higgs doublet. Under extra $U(1)_{L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}}$ symmetry, the triplets are charged. We examine the stability of the electroweak vacuum at…
For successful electroweak baryogenesis to take place through the sphaleron process the universe needs to undergo a strong first order cosmological phase transition. While it does not occur in the Standard Model it becomes possible in the…
We study the electroweak phase transition in the minimal extension of the Standard Model: an extra complex singlet with zero vacuum expectation value. The first-order phase transition is strengthened by the cubic term triggered in the…
