I review new developments in Higgs physics, with a focus on Yukawa couplings in and beyond the standard model. In particular, I discuss different methods of measuring the light Yukawas, new sources of CP violation in the Higgs sector, and…
In this letter I quantify the effects of varying the top Yukawa coupling in the process of production of three Higgs bosons at the LHC. Modifications of the coupling within experimentally observed ranges have a sizeable impact on the total…
We systematically construct two kinds of models with canonical gauge coupling unification and universal high-scale supersymmetry breaking. In the first we introduce standard vector-like particles while in the second we also include…
We discuss ways to probe t-b-tau Yukawa coupling unification condition at the Energy and Intensity frontiers. We consider non-universal soft supersymmetry breaking mass terms for gauginos related by the SO(10) grand unified theory (GUT). We…
A $Z_2$ symmetry that extends the weak interaction, $SU(2)_L \rightarrow SU(2)_L \times SU(2)'$, and the Higgs sector, $H(2) \rightarrow H(2,1) + H'(1,2)$, yields a Standard Model quartic coupling that vanishes at scale $v' = <H'>~\gg~<H>$.…
The CMS experiment at the LHC has performed the first measurement of the CP structure of the Yukawa coupling between the Higgs boson and tau leptons. The measurement is based on data collected in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$…
The strength of the Yukawa coupling of the leptons and quarks with the Higgs boson is uniquely determined by the Higgs mechanism for generating masses in the Standard Model. The top-Higgs coupling can be measured directly in the process…
Measuring the fermion Yukawa coupling constants is important for understanding the origin of the fermion masses and its relationship to the spontaneously electroweak symmetry breaking. On the other hand, some new physics models will change…
We study a supersymmetric extension of the vector-like lepton scenario, such that the vacuum instability induced by large lepton Yukawa couplings is lifted by the presence of superpartners at or below the TeV scale. In order to preserve the…
The ATLAS and CMS collaborations recently announced the observation of the associated production of the Higgs boson with a top quark pair ($t\bar tH$) at the LHC. This process depends directly on the the top quark Yukawa coupling and…
Measuring the Higgs trilinear self-coupling $\lambda_{hhh}$ is experimentally demanding but fundamental for understanding the shape of the Higgs potential. We present a comprehensive analysis strategy for the HL-LHC using di-Higgs events in…
A natural model of realizing the effective supersymmetry is presented. Two sets of the Standard Model-like gauge group $G_1\times G_2$ are introduced, where $G_i=SU(3)_i\times SU(2)_i\times U(1)_i$, which break diagonally to the Standard…
The LHC sensitivity to an anomalous Higgs coupling to the top quark in the Higgs-top associated production is analyzed. Thanks to the strong destructive interference in the t-channel for standard model couplings, this process can be very…
In the framework of the little higgs scenario, coupling constants of several interactions are related to each other to guarantee the stability of the higgs boson mass at one-loop level. This relation is called the little higgs mechanism. We…
We consider the scenario where all the couplings in the theory are strong at the cut-off scale, in the context of higher dimensional grand unified field theories where the unified gauge symmetry is broken by an orbifold compactification. In…
In simple SO(10) SUSY GUTs the top, bottom and tau Yukawa couplings unify at the GUT scale. A naive renormalization group analysis, neglecting weak scale threshold corrections, leads to moderate agreement with the low energy data. However…
We perform global fits of the Higgs boson couplings to all the 7 TeV, 8 TeV, and 13 TeV data available up to the Summer 2018. New measurements at 13 TeV extend to include the Higgs signal strengths exclusively measured in associated Higgs…
Is the weak scale natural? This ever pending question makes the search for new particle production a highly motivated primary goal of the next LHC phase. These searches may or may not be successful. While waiting for a needed higher energy…
We present new data on our ongoing project on the investigation of the phase structure of the Higgs-Yukawa model at large bare Yukawa couplings. The data presented last year are extended in terms of statistics, the number of bare Yukawa…
We study the implications of non-standard Higgs Yukawa couplings to light quarks on Higgs-portal dark matter phenomenology. Saturating the present experimental bounds on up-quark, down-quark, or strange-quark Yukawa couplings, the predicted…
