Multi-Higgs boson interactions with massive gauge bosons are known to be tell-tale probes of the vacuum manifold of electroweak symmetry breaking. Phenomenologically, a precise determination of these parameters is hampered through…
Associated production of a Higgs boson with a heavy, i.e. top or bottom, quark-anti-quark pair provide observation channels for Higgs bosons at the LHC which can be used to measure the respective Yukawa couplings. For the light…
The process e+e- -> Htt can be exploited at future Linear Colliders to measure the Higgs-top Yukawa coupling. In this note, we estimate the size of the irreducible backgrounds in the channel Htt -> bbbb WW -> bbbb ln qq, for the case of a…
We propose a method to probe the coupling of the Higgs to strange quarks by tagging strange jets at future lepton colliders. For this purpose we describe a jet-flavor observable, $J_F$, that is correlated with the flavor of the quark…
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…
In the standard model, the Higgs boson $h$ couples to the quarks and charged leptons according to the well-known formula $(m_\psi/v) h \bar{\psi}\psi$, where $\psi$ = quark (q) or lepton (l) and $v$ = 246 GeV is its vacuum expectation…
