To properly discover a charged Higgs Boson ($H^\pm$) requires its spin and couplings to be determined. We investigate how to utilize $\ttbar$ spin correlations to analyze the $H^\pm$ couplings in the decay $t\to bH^+\to b\tau^+\nu_\tau$.…
We consider two Higgs doublet models (THDMs) with both the Higgs potential and Yukawa interactions being aligned, which we call "double-aligned THDMs". In this scenario, coupling constants of the discovered Higgs boson to the Standard Model…
We propose a novel process where singly charged Higgs bosons are produced in a same-sign pair via vector boson fusion at hadron colliders in two Higgs doublet models. The process directly relates to the global symmetry structure of the…
LHC has reported tantalizing hints for a Higgs boson of mass 125 GeV decaying into two photons. We focus on two-Higgs-doublet Models, and study the interesting possibility that the heavier scalar (H) has been seen, with the lightest scalar…
The recent discovery of a Standard Model-like boson with mass of about 126 GeV seems to be the first direct information on the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism. Using the available experimental data from the LHC and Tevatron we study…
We discuss a possibility whether a model of grand gauge-Higgs unification incorporating family unification in higher dimensions can be constructed. We first extend a five dimensional $SU(6)$ grand gauge-Higgs unification model to a five…
In this article, we review gauge-Higgs unification models based on gauge theories defined on six-dimensional spacetime with $S^2/Z_2$ topology in the extra spatial dimensions. On the extra $S^2/Z_2$ space, non-trivial boundary conditions…
Reanalyses of LEP data have shown preference to two light CP-even Higgs bosons. We discuss implications of such a Higgs boson spectrum for the minimal supersymmetric model extended by a Standard Model singlet chiral superfield and an…
A search for the Standard Model Higgs boson decaying to two Z bosons with subsequent decay to a final state with two leptons and two quark-jets, H->ZZ->2l 2jets, where \ell = e, {\mu}, is discussed. It is based on an integrated luminosity…
We consider a minimal extension of the standard model where a real, gauge singlet scalar field is added to the standard spectrum. Introducing the Ansatz of universality of scalar couplings, we are led to a scenario which has a set of very…
We explore the Higgs couplings to gauge bosons in the minimal $SO(5)/SO(4)$ 4D composite Higgs model. The pions scatterings put unitary constraints on the couplings and therefore determine the branch ratios of various Higgs decays. Through…
As one of the key properties of the Higgs boson, the Higgs total width is sensitive to global profile of the Higgs boson couplings, and thus new physics would modify the Higgs width. We investigate the total width in various new physics…
We study the consistency of two Higgs doublet models in light of the new bosonic particle discovery at the LHC. We work within a general setup that we call the 2HDM-X, in which the quarks couple to both scalar doublets with aligned…
Testing the properties of the Higgs particle discovered at the LHC and searching for new physics signals, are some of the most important tasks of Particle Physics today. Current measurements of the Higgs couplings to fermions and gauge…
The decay $A\to ZH$ is a characteristic signal of two-Higgs-doublet models (2HDMs), where $A$ and $H$ lie primarily within the same $SU(2)_L$ multiplet, leading to a coupling of order $g_2$ to the $Z$ boson. The subsequent decay $H\to…
In the unified subquark model of all fundamental particles and forces, the mass of the Higgs boson in the standard model of electroweak interactions ($m_H$) is predicted to be about $2\sqrt{6}m_W/3$ (where $m_W$ is the mass of the charged…
We construct composite Higgs models admitting a weakly coupled Seiberg dual description. We focus on the possibility that only the up-type Higgs is an elementary field, while the down-type Higgs arises as a composite hadron. The model,…
Higgs bosons which decay principally to top quarks, such as in the minimal supersymmetric model, produce a peak-dip structure in the $gg\to t\bar t$ invariant-mass spectrum. This structure is potentially observable at the CERN Large Hadron…
We perform a detailed investigation of a Grand Unified Theory (GUT)-inspired theory of gauge-Higgs unification. Scanning the model's parameter space with adapted numerical techniques, we contrast the scenario's low energy limit with…
A new Higgs-like boson with mass around 126 GeV has recently been discovered at the LHC. The available data on this new particle is analyzed within the context of two-Higgs doublet models without tree-level flavour-changing neutral…
