We consider the viability of new heavy gauge singlet scalar particles at colliders such as the LHC. Our original motivation for this study came from the possibility of a new heavy particle of mass ~ TeV decaying significantly into two…
The isospin doublet scalar field with hypercharge 3/2 is introduced in some new physics models such as tiny neutrino masses. Detecting the doubly charged scalar bosons from the doublet field can be a good probe of such models. However,…
In the general Higgs portal like models, the extra neutral scalar, $S$, can mix with the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson, $H$. We perform an exploratory study focusing on the direct search for such a light singlet $S$ at the Large Hadron…
In this article, we study the associated production of a singly-charged ($\Delta^+$) scalar along with a $W^+$ boson in the newly proposed $\mu^+\mu^+$ collider (also known as $\mu$TRISTAN) at $\sqrt{s} = 2~$ TeV. Such a singly-charged…
We consider a class of BSM models where a generic scalar electroweak multiplet obtains a significant fraction of its mass from a coupling to the Higgs. Such models are non-decoupling: their new states are necessarily at the TeV scale or…
Doubly charged scalars frequently emerge in many well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model, particularly in frameworks that aim to explain the origin of neutrino masses. Their distinct electric charge and clean leptonic signatures…
The Type-II seesaw model predicts doubly and singly charged scalars along with neutral Higgs states originating from an $SU(2)$ triplet. Current LHC searches by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations constrain these particles mainly under the…
We analyse supersymmetric models augmented by an extra $U(1)$ gauge group. To avoid anomalies in these models without introducing exotics, we allow for family-dependent $U(1)^\prime$ charges, and choose a simple form for these, dependent on…
We study the connection between collider and dark matter phenomenology in the singlet extension of the Georgi-Machacek model. In this framework, the singlet scalar serves as a suitable thermal dark matter (DM) candidate. Our focus lies on…
The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) was proposed as the next energy-frontier infrastructure at CERN, to study e$^+$e$^-$ collisions at three centre-of-mass energy stages: 380 GeV, 1.5 TeV and 3 TeV. The main goal of its high-energy stages is…
The simple 3-3-1 model that contains the minimal lepton and minimal scalar contents is detailedly studied. The impact of the inert scalars (i.e., the extra fundamental fields that provide realistic dark matter candidates) on the model is…
Motivated by the null results of LHC searches, which together with the Higgs mass, severely constrain minimal supersymmetric extensions of the standard model, we adopt a model-independent approach to study charged slepton flavor. We examine…
We consider a dark matter model with a singlet scalar, $\chi$, as our dark matter (DM) candidate which is secluded from the Standard Model (SM) and annihilates to the singlet scalar, $\phi$, via a contact interaction. The singlet scalar,…
Tiny neutrino masses can be explained by the type-II seesaw mechanism, where a triplet scalar under $SU(2)_{L}$ is predicted. Collider searches for this exotic scalar have been extensively conducted, especially for its doubly charged…
One of the simplest models of dark matter is that where a scalar singlet field S comprises some or all of the dark matter, and interacts with the standard model through an HHSS coupling to the Higgs boson. We update the present limits on…
The spin-charge-family theory, proposed by the author as a possible new way to explain the assumptions of the standard model, predicts at the low energy regime two decoupled groups of four families of quarks and leptons. In two successive…
We present a search for new scalar bosons predicted by the Inert Doublet Model at an $e^+e^-$ machine with centre-of-mass energies of 240 and 365 GeV. Within this model, four additional scalar bosons ($H,\, A,\, H^+$ and $H^-$) are…
The exotic singlet fermions $\chi$, with a mass $m_\chi\lesssim 50$ MeV, could be produced at the coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE$\nu$NS) experiments through the $\nu {\mathcal N} \rightarrow \chi {\mathcal N}$ process. Due…
In this papar, we study the production and decay of a charged Higgs boson, a pseudoscalar Higgs boson, and a $Z'$ boson at the LHC within the flavor-dependent model (FDM), at the LHC. Considering the constraints from perturbative unitarity…
The dark matter puzzle is one of the most important fundamental physics questions in 21 century. There is no doubt that solving the puzzle will be a new milestone for human beings in the way of deeper understanding the mother nature. Here…
