We discuss scenarios with wrong-sign (WS) Yukawa couplings for the discovered Higgs boson in the Yukawa-aligned two Higgs doublet model. In the WS scenario, Yukawa couplings for down-type quarks and/or charged leptons have an opposite sign…
We investigate the production of Higgs bosons $A/h$ via the Yukawa process $Z\ra f\bar{f} \ra f\bar{f} A/h $ taking into account QCD corrections and fermion mass effects. We estimate the discovery reach of this process and/or bounds on the…
The electroweak Higgs doublets are identified as components of a vector multiplet in a higher dimensional supersymmetric field theory. We construct a minimal model in 6D where the electroweak $SU(2) \otimes U(1)$ gauge group is extended to…
We study the discovery prospects for a charged Higgs boson via the $b g\to c H^- \to c \bar t b$ process at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Focusing on the general Two Higgs Doublet Model (G2HDM) that possesses extra Yukawa couplings, the…
We consider composite two-Higgs doublet models based on gauge-Yukawa theories with strongly interacting fermions generating the top-bottom mass hierarchy. The model features a single "universal" Higgs-Yukawa coupling, $ g $, which is…
We characterize models where electroweak symmetry breaking is driven by two light Higgs doublets arising as pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons of new dynamics above the weak scale. They represent the simplest natural two Higgs doublet…
We {works done in collaboration with C.S.Kim, Yonsei Univ., Seoul, Korea} present some properties of the SM with two Higgs doublets. Unlike the minimal SM, the Yukawa couplings (in the usual ``type II'' model) converge with the increasing…
The alignment phenomenon, that the 125 GeV $h^0$ boson so resembles the Standard Model Higgs boson, can be understood in a two Higgs doublet model without discrete symmetry. New Yukawa couplings $\rho_{tt}$ and $\rho_{tc}$ offer new avenues…
After the discovery of a 126 GeV state at the LHC it is imperative to establish whether this particle really is the Higgs boson of the standard model. The early measurements have not yet pinpointed any of the Higgs couplings to fermions,…
We consider general fermi-phobic scenarios in which excess events in diphoton or WW/ZZ resonances may be seen at LHC. These Higgs like signals do not necessarily suggest that the new resonance is a particle with Yukawa couplings nor do we…
We explore the possibility that, while the Higgs mechanism provides masses to the weak-gauge bosons at the electroweak scale as in the standard model, fermion masses are generated by an unknown mechanism at a higher energy scale. At low…
In the Standard Model, there is the single Higgs field, $\phi$, which gives rise to constituent quark and lepton masses. The Yukawa coupling is a highly complex set of $3 \times 3$ matrices, resulting in many textures of quark and lepton…
We study Higgs boson production associated with single top or anti-top via $t$-channel weak boson exchange at the LHC. The process is an ideal probe of the top quark Yukawa coupling, because we can measure the relative phase of $htt$ and…
We extend heavy Higgs searches at the Large Hadron Collider for $H \to \tau \mu$ by CMS, and $H \to \tau\tau$ by ATLAS and CMS, to study discovery prospects of extra Higgs states in $pp \to H,A \to \tau \mu, \tau\tau$ with $e\mu + E_T$ and…
We consider the renormalisation group flow of Higgs and Yukawa couplings within the simplest non--supersymmetric two Higgs doublet extension of the Standard Model (SM). In this model the couplings are adjusted so that the multiple point…
The recent discovery of a Standard Model-like boson with mass of about 126 GeV seems to be the first direct information on the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism. Using the available experimental data from the LHC and Tevatron we study…
One of the puzzles of the SM is the large hierarchy between the Yukawa couplings of different flavours. Yukawa couplings of the first and the second generation are constrained only very weakly so far. However, one can obtain large…
We consider a scenario in which the dominant quartic coupling for the Higgs doublets arises from the F-term potential, rather than the conventional SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y D-term potential, in supersymmetric theories. The quartic coupling arises…
We calculate one-loop corrected Yukawa coupling constants $hf\bar{f}$ for the standard model like Higgs boson $h$ in two Higgs doublet models. We focus on the models with the softly-broken $Z_2$ symmetry, which is imposed to avoid the…
Extra vector-like matter with both electroweak-singlet masses and large Yukawa couplings can significantly raise the lightest Higgs boson mass in supersymmetry through radiative corrections. I consider models of this type that involve a…
