Electroweak symmetry breaking is explored in a two Higgs doublet model based on a six dimensional $SU(4)$ gauge-Higgs unification compactified on an orbifold $T^2/Z_2$. The remarkable property of this model is a prediction of realistic weak…

Electroweak precision observables, being highly sensitive to loop contributions of new physics, provide a powerful tool to test the theory and to discriminate between different models of the underlying physics. In that context, the $W$…
The Gildener-Weinberg two-Higgs doublet model (GW-2HDM) provides a naturally light and aligned Higgs boson, $H = H(125)$. It has been studied in the one-loop approximation of its effective potential, $V_1$. An important consequence is that…
In 2022, the CDF Collaboration reported the $W$-boson mass, $M_W=80.4335\pm0.0094~\mathrm{GeV}$, which deviates from the Standard Model (SM) prediction, $M_W^{\rm SM}=80.357\pm0.006~\mathrm{GeV}$, by about $7\sigma$. By contrast, the CMS…
The Standard Model fit prefers values of the Higgs boson mass that are below the 114 GeV direct lower limit from LEP II. The discrepancy is acute if the 3.2 sigma disagreement for the effective weak interaction mixing angle from the two…
