After the Higgs discovery, the question of whether particles beyond those of the Standard Model exist is more pressing than ever. In this context, the scalar sector is particularly promising, since it lies at the core of the internal…
ATLAS found that none of their Standard Model simulations can describe the measured differential lepton distributions in their $t \bar{t}$ analysis reasonably well. Therefore, we study the possibility that this measurement has a new physics…
The recent discovery of a new boson of mass roughly 125 GeV has been reported by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations. Although its signals in various decay modes resemble those of the standard model (SM) Higgs boson, observed are the…
We show that the recent discovery of a new boson at the LHC, which we assume to be a Higgs boson, and the observed enhancement in its diphoton decays compared to the SM prediction, can be explained by a new doublet of charged vector bosons…
Adding a scalar singlet provides one of the simplest extensions of the Standard Model. In this work we briefly review the latest constraints on the mass and mixing of the new Higgs boson and study its production and decay at the LHC. We…
Despite intensive searches at the LHC, no new fundamental particle has been discovered since the discovery of the 125 GeV Higgs boson. In general, a new physics discovery is challenging without a UV-complete model because different channels…
Statistically significant tensions between the Standard Model (SM) predictions and the measured lepton distributions in differential top cross-sections emerged in LHC Run~1 data and became even more pronounced in Run~2 analyses. Due to the…
In this article, we examine the Standard Model extended by a $Y=0$ real Higgs triplet, the $\Delta$SM. It contains a $CP$-even neutral Higgs ($\Delta^0$) and two charged Higgs bosons ($\Delta^\pm$), which are quasi-degenerate in mass. We…
We discuss the prediction of the $W$ boson mass in a simple extension of the Standard Model ($\Sigma {\rm SM}$) with a real scalar triplet. A shift in the $W$ mass as reported by the CDF II collaboration can naturally be accommodated by the…
We interpret the new particle at the Large Hadron Collider as a CP-even scalar and investigate its electroweak quantum number. Assuming an unbroken custodial invariance as suggested by precision electroweak measurements, only four…
Recent results on Higgs searches at the LHC point towards the existence of a Higgs boson with mass of about 126 GeV whose diphoton decay rate tends to be larger than in the Standard Model. These results are in tension with natural MSSM…
In the search for a light Higgs boson, the ATLAS and CMS experiments have observed excesses in both the diphoton ($\gamma\gamma$) and di-tau-pair ($\tau^+\tau^-$) decay channels at about $95$ GeV. The LEP collaboration has also previously…
CMS and ATLAS have reported small excesses in the search for low-mass Higgs bosons in the di-photon decay channel at exactly the same mass, $95.4~$GeV. These searches rely on improved analysis techniques, enhancing in particular the…
The significance of new physics appearing in the loop-induced decays of neutral Higgs bosons into pairs of dibosons $\gamma\gamma$ and $Z\gamma$ will be discussed in the framework of the 3-3-1 models based on a recent…
Higgs boson searches are commonly considered one of the main objectives of particle physics nowadays. The latest results obtained by the CDF and D0 collaborations are presented here when searching for Higgs boson decaying into a W-boson…
Using the most recent results of CMS and ATLAS, we study the Higgs decays to $\gamma\gamma$ and $Z\gamma$ in the scenario where the two CP even Higgs predicted by the type II seesaw model (HTM) are close to mass degenerate with a mass near…
An updated global analysis within the Standard Model (SM) of all relevant electroweak precision and Higgs boson search data is presented with special emphasis on the implications for the Higgs boson mass, M_H. Included are, in particular,…
We study the decay of a heavy CP-even neutral Higgs into an on-shell Standard Model-like Higgs boson and two photons, $H\to h\gamma\gamma$, in the two-Higgs doublet model. We argue that the decay channel $H\to h\gamma\gamma$, followed by…
We investigate the prospective reach of the 14 TeV HL-LHC for resonant production of a heavy Higgs boson that decays to two SM-like Higgs bosons in the $4b$ final state in the scalar singlet extended Standard Model. We focus on the reach…
Recently, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations have announced the discovery of a 125 GeV particle, commensurable with the Higgs boson. We analyze the 2011 and 2012 LHC and Tevatron Higgs data in the context of simplified new physics models,…
