Beyond the Standard Model (SM) extensions usually include extended Higgs sectors. Models with singlet or doublet fields are the simplest ones that are compatible with the $\rho$ parameter constraint. The discovery of new non-SM Higgs bosons…
We present the cross section for $e^{+}e^{-}\to hZ$ with arbitrary sets of electron and $Z$ boson polarizations at the full next-to-leading order in various extended Higgs models, such as the Higgs singlet model (HSM), the inert doublet…
The idea of reduction of couplings provides a systematic procedure to search for relations among seemingly unrelated parameters of a renormalizable theory. As a consequence, such reduced theories exhibit more constrained parameter spaces.…
We consider the Higgs sector in an extension of the MSSM with extra SM singlets, involving an extra $U(1)^\prime$ gauge symmetry, in which the domain-wall problem is avoided and the effective $\mu$ parameter is decoupled from the new gauge…
The Higgs factory is designed for precise measurement of Higgs characters and search for new physics. In this paper we propose that $e^+e^- \to \gamma h$ process could be a useful channel for new physics, which is normally expressed model…
The Bestest Little Higgs Model (BLHM) has attracted increasing attention in recent years, mainly because it can explain the hierarchy problem without fine-tuning by introducing one-loop corrections to the Higgs boson mass through heavy top…
The shape of the Higgs potential is modified by the presence of additional scalar fields, as predicted in many Beyond-Standard-Model (BSM) scenarios. In such cases, deviations in the Higgs self-interactions, in particular the trilinear…
The Higgs decay $h\to 4\ell$ has played an important role in discovering the Higgs and measuring its mass thanks to low background and excellent resolution. Current cuts in this channel have been optimized for Higgs discovery via the…
The trilinear Higgs self-coupling provides a unique probe of the structure of the Higgs potential and of the nature of the electroweak phase transition, and constitutes a key target for future collider experiments. Recent studies have shown…

The combined LEP/SLD data on the b\bar b forward-backward asymmetry from the Z-pole measurements may imply the presence of new physics in the $Zb\bar b$ couplings. In general, the effect of new physics can be parameterized by $SU_C(3)\times…
There are many indirect and direct experimental indications that the new particle H discovered by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations has spin zero and (mostly) positive parity, and that its couplings to other particles are correlated with…
In the framework of warped extra dimension models addressing the gauge hierarchy problem, we consider the Randall-Sundrum (RS) scenario under the usual hypothesis of a bulk custodial symmetry. It is shown in detail that there can exist…
The program HiggsSignals confronts the predictions of models with arbitrary Higgs sectors with the available Higgs signal rate and mass measurements, resulting in a likelihood estimate. A new version of the program, HiggsSignals-2, is…
Motivated by a small but intriguing excess observed in the decay mode $ H\rightarrow \ell^+\ell^- \gamma$ reported by both the ATLAS and CMS collaborations, we explore the possibility that new physics contributes directly to the effective $…
Supersymmetric extensions of the standard model contain additional heavy neutral Higgs bosons that are coupled to heavy scalar top quarks (stops). This system exhibits interesting field theoretic phenomena when the Higgs mass is close to…
We examine brane-world scenarios in which all the observed Standard Model particles reside on a brane but the Higgs is an elementary extra-dimensional scalar in the bulk. We show that, for codimension 2 branes, often-neglected interactions…
Higher-order corrections to the MSSM Higgs-boson masses are desirable for accurate predictions currently testable at the LHC. By comparing the prediction with the measured value of the discovered Higgs signal, viable parameter regions can…
We investigate the phenomenology of the Higgs sector of the minimal $B-L$ extension of the Standard Model at a future $e^+e^-$ Linear Collider. We consider the discovery potential of both a sub-TeV and a multi-TeV machine. We show that,…
