We present a fit to the 2012 LHC Higgs data in different supersymmetric frameworks using naturalness as a guiding principle. We consider the MSSM and its D-term and F-term extensions that can raise the tree-level Higgs mass. When adding an…
Null results from searches for new physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) tend to enforce the belief that new particles must be much heavier than the weak scale. We undertake a systematic study of the interplay between Higgs alignment…
We present the results obtained by performing global fits of two-Higgs-doublet models (2HDMs) using the full Run 1 and Run 2 Higgs datasets collected at the LHC. Avoiding unwanted tree-level flavor-changing neutral currents and including…
In the context of two Higgs doublet models, we study the conditions required in order to have stable quasi-alignment in flavour space. We show that stability under the RGE imposes strong constraints on the flavour structure of the Yukawa…
The most commonly used parameterizations of the Yukawa couplings in the two Higgs doublet model are revisited. Their similitudes and differences are emphasized and relations between the different notations used in the literature are…
We study CP violation in a multi-Higgs doublet model based on a $S_3 \times Z_3$ horizontal symmetry. We consider two mechanisms for CP violation in this model: a) CP violation due to complex Yukawa couplings; and b) CP violation due to…
Type-X two Higgs doublet model is known to explain the muon $g-2$ anomaly with a relatively light charged Higgs boson at large $\tan\beta$. The light charged Higgs boson has been searched in the main $\tau \nu$ mode at the colliders.…
We construct realistic theories in which the Higgs fields arise from extra dimensional components of higher dimensional gauge fields. In particular, we present a minimal 5D SU(3)_C x SU(3)_W model and a unified 5D SU(6) model. In both cases…
We study the simplest Two-Higgs-Doublet Model that allows for CP nonconservation, where it can be parametrized by only one parameter in the Higgs potential. Different concepts of maximal CP-nonconservation in the gauge-Higgs and the…
We write down the renormalization-group equations for the Yukawa-coupling matrices in a general multi-Higgs-doublet model. We then assume that the matrices of the Yukawa couplings of the various Higgs doublets to right-handed fermions of…
The Twin Higgs model seeks to address the little hierarchy problem by making the Higgs a pseudo-Goldstone of a global $SU(4)$ symmetry that is spontaneously broken to $SU(3)$. Gauge and Yukawa couplings, which explicitly break $SU(4)$,…
We study the Higgs-boson mass spectrum of the minimal supersymmetric standard model, in which the tree-level CP invariance of the Higgs potential is broken explicitly by loop effects of soft-CP-violating Yukawa interactions related to…
With no conclusive signal till date of the minimal supersymmetric and extra dimensional models at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the issue of fine-tuning of the Higgs mass still calls for some attention. It could be very possible that the…
We discuss the classification of symmetries and the corresponding symmetry groups in the two-Higgs-doublet model (THDM). We give an easily useable method how to determine the symmetry class and corresponding symmetry group of a given THDM…
One of the main motivations to look beyond the SM is the discrepancy between the theoretical prediction and observation of anomalous magnetic moment of muon. Alleviating this tension between theory and experiment and satisfying the bounds…
After the recent discovery of the Higgs boson, the next important goal is to measure its properties. Probing the Yukawa coupling of the Higgs boson to top quarks is a particularly important test of physics beyond the standard model. This…
One of the puzzles of the SM is the large hierarchy between the Yukawa couplings of different flavours. Yukawa couplings of the first and the second generation are constrained only very weakly so far. However, one can obtain large…
The electroweak Higgs doublets are identified as components of a vector multiplet in a higher dimensional supersymmetric field theory. We construct a minimal model in 6D where the electroweak $SU(2) \otimes U(1)$ gauge group is extended to…
In a two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM), at the vicinity of the alignment limit, the extra contributions to the couplings of the SM-like Higgs with other particles can be subdominant to the same coming from the six dimensional operators. In…
The electroweak radiative correction, which turned out to be marginal within the standard electroweak model having the minimal Higgs sector in view of the present experimental information, fits well the experiment when the Higgs sector is…
