It was shown recently that, in two Higgs doublet models without $Z_2$ symmetry, extra Yukawa couplings such as $\rho_{tc}$, $\rho_{tt}$ can fuel enough $CP$ violation for electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG). We revisit an old proposal where a…
The origin of the baryon asymmetry of the universe remains one of the most pressing open questions in particle physics and cosmology. Electroweak baryogenesis offers an experimentally testable explanation, requiring new sources of CP…
We study the cosmological evolution of asymmetries in the two-Higgs doublet extension of the Standard Model, prior to the electroweak phase transition. If Higgs flavour-exchanging interactions are sufficiently slow, then a relative…
We demonstrate a new type of cancellation of contributions to the electron and neutron electric dipole moments (EDMs) that occurs in three Higgs doublet models (3HDMs) when CP violation appears in the charged Higgs sector. The cancellation…
We calculate one-loop corrected Yukawa coupling constants $hf\bar{f}$ for the standard model like Higgs boson $h$ in two Higgs doublet models. We focus on the models with the softly-broken $Z_2$ symmetry, which is imposed to avoid the…
We present a search for new particles in an extension to the standard model that includes a heavy Higgs boson ($H^0$), a lighter charged Higgs boson ($H^\pm$), and an even-lighter Higgs boson $h^0$, with decays leading to a $W$-boson pair…
We study the simplest generic extension of the Standard Model which allows for conventional electroweak baryogenesis, through the addition of dimension six operators in the Higgs sector. At least one such operator is required to be CP-odd,…
We discuss the constraints on the Higgs sector coming from the requirement of the generation of the matter-antimatter asymmetry at the electroweak phase transition. These relate to both a strongly first order first transition, necessary for…
In the search for a light Higgs boson, the ATLAS and CMS experiments have observed excesses in both the diphoton ($\gamma\gamma$) and di-tau-pair ($\tau^+\tau^-$) decay channels at about $95$ GeV. The LEP collaboration has also previously…
The present upper bound on $\kappa_e$, the ratio between the electron Yukawa coupling and its Standard Model value, is of ${\cal O}(600)$. We ask what would be the implications in case that $\kappa_e$ is close to this upper bound. The…
CP-violating interaction of quarks and W-bosons with the scalar field background is studied in the Kobayashi-Maskawa with with Standard Model content of flavors and with additional heavy generation of fermions. The corresponding two-loop…
The viable window to electroweak baryogenesis in a supersymmetric $U(1)'$ model is studied in light of the 126 GeV Higgs boson. To investigate the decoupling of the sphaleron process in the broken phase, we evaluate the sphaleron rate and…
SUSY models with a gauge singlet easily allow for a strong first order electroweak phase transition (EWPT) if the vevs of the singlet and Higgs fields are of comparable size. We discuss the profile of the stationary expanding bubble wall…
Recently, the ATLAS and CMS detectors have discovered a bosonic particle which, to a reasonable degree of statistical uncertainty, fits the profile of the Standard Model Higgs. One obvious implication is that models which predict a…
We investigate the parameter space supporting large CP violation (CPV) in the complex two-Higgs-doublet model with softly broken $Z_{2}$ symmetry, where the 125~GeV Higgs boson is identified as the lightest neutral Higgs boson $H_1$.…
The realisation that the electroweak anomaly can induce significant baryon number violation at high temperature and that the standard models of particle physics and cosmology contain all the ingredients needed for baryogenesis has led to…
The $\mathcal{CP}$ structure of the Higgs boson in its coupling to the particles of the Standard Model is amongst the most important Higgs boson properties which have not yet been constrained with high precision. In this study, all relevant…
The ATLAS and CMS collaborations reported a diphoton excess in the invariant mass distribution around the 95.4 GeV with a local significance of $3.1\sigma$. Moreover, there is another $2.3\sigma$ local excess in the $b\bar{b}$ final state…
Electroweak Baryogenesis, given a first order phase transition, does not work in the standard model because the quark Yukawa matrices are too hierarchical. On the other hand, the neutrino mass matrix is apparently not hierarchical. In…
We explore lepton-flavored electroweak baryogenesis, driven by CP-violation in leptonic Yukawa sector, using the $\tau-\mu$ system in the two Higgs doublet model as an example. This setup generically yields, together with the…
