We update the indirect constraints on the Georgi-Machacek model from $B$-physics and electroweak precision observables, including new constraints from $b \to s \gamma$ and $B^0_s \to \mu^+ \mu^-$. We illustrate the effect of these…
Following various LHC indications for new scalars, an interpretation of these is given in terms of the Georgi-Machacek (GM) model. On top of the confirmed SM Higgs boson, there are indications for a light Higgs at 96 GeV, for a CP-odd boson…
The Georgi-Machacek model adds scalar triplets to the Standard Model Higgs sector in such a way as to preserve custodial SU(2) symmetry in the scalar potential. This allows the triplets to have a non-negligible vacuum expectation value…

We study the prospects for charged Higgs boson searches in the $W \gamma$ decay channel. This loop-induced decay channel can be important if the charged Higgs is fermiophobic, particularly when its mass is below the $WZ$ threshold. We…

We investigate the phenomenology of the Standard Model extended by a real gauge-singlet scalar field, focusing on exotic Higgs decay channels. For a light scalar mass in the range \(0 < m_{\phi} < 40\) GeV, the Higgs boson can decay to both…
Vector-boson fusion production of new Higgs bosons decaying into pairs of electroweak gauge bosons ($W^\pm W^\pm$, $WZ$ and $ZZ$) is a smoking-gun signature of the Georgi-Machacek (GM) Model. Notably, ATLAS has observed a $3.3\sigma$ excess…
We present a novel extension of the Standard Model which fulfills the multiple-point principle without contradicting the Higgs particle mass measurement. In the model, the scalar potential has two minima where the scalar field has vacuum…
We derive the most general sets of viable mass spectra of the exotic Higgs bosons in the Georgi-Machacek model that are consistent with the theoretical constraints of vacuum stability and perturbative unitarity and the experimental…
The Georgi Machacek (GM) model is a triplet extension of the scalar sector of the Standard Model (SM) containing charged and neutral scalars and pseudoscalars with alluring phenomenology. The CMS and ATLAS collaborations of the LHC at…
In general, there can be mass differences among scalar bosons of the Higgs triplet field with the hypercharge of Y=1. In the Higgs triplet model, when the vacuum expectation value $v_\Delta$ of the triplet field is much smaller than that…
We analyze the excesses at 95 GeV in the light Higgs-boson searches in the di-photon decay channel reported by CMS and ATLAS, which combined are at the level of three standard deviations and are compatible with the excess in the $b\bar{b}$…
CMS and ATLAS have reported small excesses in the search for low-mass Higgs bosons in the di-photon decay channel at exactly the same mass, $95.4~$GeV. These searches rely on improved analysis techniques, enhancing in particular the…

With the assumption of classical scale invariance at the Planck scale, the DFSZ axion model can generate the Higgs mass terms of the appropriate size through technically natural parameters and may be valid up to the Planck scale. We discuss…
We propose a classically scale-invariant extension of the Georgi--Machacek model by augmenting its custodial \(SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R\)-symmetric Higgs sector -- originally composed of a doublet and two triplets -- with a gauge-singlet…
