We investigate the discovery prospects of a charged Higgs boson ($H^\pm$) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) via the process $cg\to bH^\pm \to bc\bar{b}$ within the framework of a general two Higgs doublet model (G2HDM). In most two Higgs…
A search is performed for a vector-like heavy T quark that is produced in pairs and that decays to a top quark and a Higgs boson. The data analysed correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns collected with the CMS…
Higgs production in association with a $W$ boson and two energetic tag jets at the LHC is studied for $M_H = 120$ \GeV, with the Higgs decaying to $b\bar{b}$ and the $W$ to $\ell\nu$ ($\ell = e, \mu$), guaranteeing high trigger efficiency.…
Characterizing the 125 GeV Higgs is a critical component of the physics program at the LHC Run II. In this Letter, we consider $t\bar{t}H$ associated production in the dileptonic mode. We demonstrate that the difference in azimuthal angle…
Heavy charged Higgs bosons ($H^\pm$) of a Type II 2-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) can be detected at future electron-positron Linear Colliders (LCs) even when their mass is larger than half the collider energy. The single Higgs mode $e^+e^-\to…
We study the possibility of detecting the Higgs boson in the intermediate mass range via its two jet channel. We consider only Higgs bosons produced in association with a $t \bar{t}$ pair. Both $t$ and $\bar{t}$ are required to decay…

We study the process gg -> b bbar H+ H- at large tan(beta), where it represents the dominant production mode of charged Higgs boson pairs in a Type II 2-Higgs Doublet Model, including the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. The ability…
Charged Higgs bosons $H^\pm$ are predicted by some non-minimal Higgs scenarios, such as models containing Higgs triplets and two-Higgs-doublet models, so that the experimental observation of these bosons would indicate physics beyond the…
In this work we explore the sensitivity to the Higgs self-coupling $\lambda$ in the production of two Higgs bosons via vector boson scattering at the LHC. Although these production channels, concretely $W^+W^- \to HH$ and $ ZZ \to HH$, have…
We show that the Template Overlap Method can improve the signal to background ratio of boosted $H\to b \bar b$ events produced in association with a leptonically decaying $W$. We introduce several improvements on the previous formulations…
At the LHC, tagging boosted heavy particle resonances which decay hadronically, such as top quarks and Higgs bosons, can play an essential role in new physics searches. In events with high multiplicity, however, the standard approach to tag…
We demonstrate that the classification of boosted, hadronically-decaying weak gauge bosons can be significantly improved over traditional cut-based and BDT-based methods using deep learning and the jet charge variable. We construct binary…
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…
