We consider the decay of the Higgs boson to W$^{+}$ W$^{-}$ at a proposed Large Hadron Electron Collider and determine the likelihood of detecting a signal for the Higgs mass from its decay product W jets by imposing cuts to select…
The hadronic tau decay channel offers by far the best signature for heavy charged Higgs boson search at the LHC in the large $\tan\beta$ region. By exploiting the distinct polarization of the tau and its large transverse mass, along with…
At LHC energies, the Drell--Yan ($Z/\gamma^{*}$) processes have a substantially large cross section. Their di-lepton ($\ell^+\ell^-$) final state contributes significantly to many resonant signal regions, making them one of the dominant…
Top polarization is an important probe of new physics that couples to the top sector, and which may be discovered at the 14 TeV LHC. Taking the example of the MSSM, we argue that top polarization measurements can put a constraint on the…
We point out that existing measurements of $pp \to ZZ$ cross-section at the LHC in a broad range of ZZ invariant masses allow one to derive a model-independent upper bound on the Higgs boson width, thanks to strongly enhanced off-shell…

We advocate a search for an extended scalar sector at the LHC via $hh$ production, where $h$ is the 125 GeV Higgs boson. A resonance feature in the $hh$ invariant mass is a smoking gun of an $s$-channel heavy Higgs resonance, $H$. With one…
This paper reports on a search for an extended scalar sector of the standard model, where a new CP-even (odd) boson decays to a Z boson and a lighter CP-odd (even) boson, and the latter further decays to a b quark pair. The Z boson is…
