The Higgs sector of models beyond the standard model requires special attention and study, since through them, a natural explanation can be offered to current questions such as the big differences in the values of the masses of the quarks…
The knowledge of the Higgs potential is crucial for understanding the origin of mass and the thermal history of our Universe. We show how collider measurements and observations of stochastic gravitational wave signals can complement each…
We construct two anomaly-free supersymmetric $U(1)'$ models with a secluded $U(1)'$-breaking sector. For the one with $E_6$ embedding we show that there exists a strong enough first order electroweak phase transition for electroweak…
The construction of an effective 3D theory at high temperatures for the MSSM as a model of electroweak baryogenesis is discussed. The analysis for a single light scalar field shows, that given the experimental constraints, there is no value…
We argue that, within a broad class of extensions of the Standard Model, there is a tight corellation between the dynamics of the electroweak phase transition and the cubic self-coupling of the Higgs boson: Models which exhibit a strong…
A cosmological first order electroweak phase transition could explain the origin of the cosmic matter-antimatter asymmetry. While it does not occur in the Standard Model, it becomes possible in the presence of a second Higgs doublet. In…
The general real singlet extension of the Standard Model (SM), the RxSM, is one of the simplest theories Beyond-the-Standard Model (BSM) that can accommodate a strong first-order electroweak phase transition (SFOEWPT). We investigate the…
Beyond the Standard Model physics is required to explain both dark matter and the baryon asymmetry of the universe, the latter possibly generated during a strong first-order electroweak phase transition. While many proposed models tackle…
A 125 GeV Higgs-like particle discovered at the LHC in 2012 has properties expected for it in the Standard Model (SM), with a possible enhancement in the two-photon channel. Such SM-like Higgs scenario can be realized within the Inert…
Next-to-MSSM is a viable model which is equipped with two features suited for electroweak baryogensis (EWBG): first-order phase transition not restricted by the Higgs spectrum and tree-level CP violation in the Higgs sector free from the…
The extension of the standard model's minimal Higgs sector with an inert $SU(2)_L$ scalar doublet can provide light dark matter candidate and simultaneously induce a strong phase transition for explaining Baryogenesis. There is however no…
In spite of the vast literature on the subject of first order Electroweak Phase Transitions (EWPTs), which can provide the necessary conditions for generating the Baryon Asymmetry in the Universe, fermion-induced EWPTs still remain a rather…
The Two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) is one of the most studied extensions of the Standard Model. Like the other popular "New Physics" models, it gets more and more constrained by recent experimental progress, especially by the LHC data. For…
Motivated by the possibility to explain dark matter abundance and strong electroweak phase transition, we consider simple extensions of the Standard Model containing singlet fields coupled with the Standard Model via a scalar portal.…
In this proceeding, I discuss several models that extend the scalar sector of the Standard Model by additional matter states. I here focus on results for models with singlet extensions, which have been obtained recently and update some of…
We show that the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) constrained by the two-loop-order requirement of cancellation of quadratic divergences is consistent with the existing experimental constraints. The model allows to ameliorate the little…
Models with two scalar doublets are among the simplest extensions of the Standard Model which fulfill the relation $\rho = 1$ at lowest order for the $\rho$ parameter as favored by experimental data for electroweak observables allowing only…
A two Higgs doublet model with special Yukawa interactions for the top quark and a softly broken discrete symmetry in the Higgs potential is proposed. In this model, the top quark is much heavier than the other quarks and leptons because it…
The Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) stands as a promising framework for exploring physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). Within this context, we explore the possibility that the two Higgs doublets may serve as a window into CP-violating…
Motivated by the notion that the mathematics of gravity can be reproduced from a statistical requirement of maximal entropy, we study the consequence of introducing an entropic source term in the Einstein-Hilbert action. For a spatially…
