This work considers an extension of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs sector by a real, scalar singlet field, including applicability to a dark matter (DM) model with the addition of a Yukawa coupling to a Dirac fermion. The collider signatures…
I briefly discuss the search for low mass scalars at Higgs factories as well as available models that render such scalars feasible, where I focus on new developments since the review presented in arXiv:2205.09687 (see also arXiv:2504.11969…
We extend the coverage of resonant di-Higgs searches in the $b \bar{b} b \bar{b}$ final state to the process $p p \to H_1 \to H_2 H_2 \to b \bar{b} b \bar{b}$, where both $H_{1,2}$ are spin-$0$ states beyond the Standard Model. Such a…

Contrary to conventional expectations, we identify a class of extended scalar-sector scenarios in which final states with two, three, or four Higgs bosons constitute the leading discovery channels for new physics at the LHC. In these…
The goal of this report is to summarize the current situation and discuss possible search strategies for charged scalars, in non-supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model at the LHC. Such scalars appear in Multi-Higgs-Doublet models…
