The production of the Higgs boson in association with a single top quark is sensitive to the relative sign of the coupling parameters describing its interaction with fermions and gauge bosons. The tHq production mode therefore provides an…
We demonstrate that multiple-Higgs production at the LHC is the most sensitive probe of first and second-generation quark flavor in the Higgs sector. In models where new scalars couple to light quarks, gigantic di-Higgs and even sizable…
