We study vector-boson scattering of the physical, gauge-invariant states in a reduced standard-model setup on the lattice for various parameter sets. To this end, the phase shift in the scalar channel is determined using a L\"uscher-type…
In a spontaneously broken gauge theory we consider (sub)-processes in which one virtual intermediate state (it can be a Higgs or a gauge field) produces many on-shell Higgses and massive vector bosons. In the kinematic regime where all…
In models where an additional SU(2)-doublet that does not have couplings to fermions participates in electroweak symmetry breaking, the properties of the Higgs boson are changed. At tree level, in the neighborhood of the SM-like range of…

WW scattering is dominated at high energies by their longitudinal components, which are the most sensitive to the nature of the electroweak symmetry breaking. Prior to the discovery at the LHC of a Higgs-like particle, unitarization tools…
We compute the energy scales of perturbative unitarity violation in $V_L V_L \to V_L V_L h$ processes and compare them to $V_L V_L \to hhh$ process, where $V_L$ refers to a longitudinal mode of $Z$ or $W$ boson, and $h$ the Higgs boson.…
A study of the Standard Model (SM) three electroweak boson production, $WV\gamma$ where V = W or Z gauge boson, is presented concerning events with a leptonically decaying W boson accompanied by a photon and two or more jets. We are using…
We discuss first-order electroweak phase transition in models with extended Higgs sectors for the case with relatively heavy additional scalar bosons. We first show that, by the combination of the sphaleron decoupling condition,…
Vector-boson scattering into two Z bosons at the LHC is a key channel for the exploration of the electroweak sector of the Standard Model. It allows for the full reconstruction of the scattering process but at the price of a huge…

A search is presented for the decay of the 125 GeV Higgs boson (H) to a pair of new light pseudoscalar bosons (a), followed by the prompt decay of each a boson to a bottom quark-antiquark pair, H $\to$ aa $\to$ $\mathrm{b\bar{b}b\bar{b}}$.…
A search for anomalous electroweak production of WW, WZ, and ZZ boson pairs in association with two jets in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV at the LHC is reported. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of…
In absence of the Standard Model Higgs boson the interaction among the gauge bosons becomes strong at high energies and influences the couplings between them. Each trilinear and quartic gauge boson vertex is characterised by a set of…
We investigate the collider phenomenology of a left-right symmetric Randall-Sundrum model with fermions and gauge bosons in the bulk. We find that the model is allowed by precision electroweak data as long as the ratio of the (unwarped)…

ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is designed and optimized to study ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions at the LHC, in which a hot and dense, strongly-interacting medium is created. Vector bosons (W and Z) are produced in hard…
We study the Higgs boson decays $h \to Z\gamma$ and $h \to m_VZ$ in a model with vectorlike fermions and $U(1)_X$ symmetry ($U(1)_X$VLFM), where $m_V$ is a vector meson ($\rho,\ \omega,\ \phi,\ J/\psi,\ \Upsilon$). The exotic Yukawa…
In the standard model of electroweak interactions the Higgs doublet is replaced by a doublet of vector bosons and the gauge symmetry is broken dynamically. This generates masses for the gauge bosons and fermions, as well as it fixes the…
