We investigate predictions of the trilinear Higgs self-coupling with radiative corrections in the context of the Inert Doublet Model. The triple Higgs vertex is computed at the one-loop level based on the on-shell renormalization scheme. We…

The Higgs mechanism is essential for the success of the Standard Model (SM) and can be experimentally verified with the determination of the Higgs self-coupling. As the simplest model of a Higgs potential, the SM provides a clear prediction…

We investigate the implications of spontaneous CP-violation in the general two Higgs doublet model, which leads to a non-decoupling structure of the Higgs sector. All the masses of the Higgs bosons are purely determined by the vacuum…

A measurement of the Higgs trilinear self coupling $\lambda_{hhh}$ will test the Standard Model Higgs potential. But can it reveal information that cannot be learned otherwise? By analyzing several simple extensions of the Standard Model…
In this review, we discuss methods of parsing direct and indirect information from collider experiments regarding the Higgs boson and describe simple ways in which experimental likelihoods can be consistently reconstructed and interfaced…
We argue that extensions of the Standard Model (SM) with a strongly first-order electroweak phase transition generically predict significant deviations of the Higgs couplings to gluons, photons, and Z bosons from their SM values. Precise…
Motivated by future collider proposals that aim to measure the Higgs properties precisely, we study the partial decay widths of the lightest Higgs boson in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with an emphasis on the parameter region…
Extended Higgs sectors appear in many models for physics beyond the Standard Model. Current Higgs measurements at the LHC are starting to significantly constrain them. We study their Higgs coupling patterns at tree level as well as…
We calculate both the cubic and the quartic self-couplings of the lighter scalar Higgs boson without assuming the decoupling limit in the two-Higgs-doublet model (THDM). In some regions of parameter space of the THDM where the electroweak…
Following recent ATLAS and CMS publications we interpret the results of their Higgs searches in terms of Standard Model operators. For a Higgs mass of 125 GeV we determine several Higgs couplings from 2011 data and extrapolate the results…
In this paper, we put constraints on anomalous $\mathcal{CP}$-violating top-Higgs couplings using the currently available Higgs data and explore the prospect of measuring these couplings at 240 GeV TLEP. We find that the…
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…
Due to the absence of tantalising hints for new physics during the LHC's run 1, the extension of the Higgs sector by dimension six operators will provide the new phenomenological standard for searches of non-resonant extensions of the…
Probing the properties of the discovered Higgs boson may tell us whether or not it is the same particle as the one predicted by the Standard Model. To this aim we parametrize deviations of the Higgs couplings to matter from the Standard…
We consider modifications of the Higgs potential due to new physics at high energy scales. These upset delicate cancellations predicted by the Standard Model for processes involving Higgs bosons and longitudinal gauge bosons, and lead to a…
