We consider the production of a single top quark in association with a Higgs boson at the LHC. In particular, we compute the cross sections for the processes $ p p \to t h j$, $t h b$, $t h W$, $t h j j$, $t h j b$, $t h W j$, $t h W b$ in…
In the light of the 125 GeV Higgs ($h$) discovery at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), one of the primary goals of the LHC and possible future colliders is to understand its interactions more precisely. Here we have studied the $h$-$b$-$\bar…
The $P_5'$ anomaly uncovered by the LHCb experiment in $B \to K^*\mu\mu$ angular observables has motivated a possible $Z'$ boson that couples to left-handed $b \to s$ transitions, where a model would be gauged $L_\mu - L_\tau$ symmetry, but…
