The SO(5) x U(1) gauge-Higgs unification in the Randall-Sundrum warped space with the Higgs boson mass m_H=126 GeV is constructed. An universal relation is found between the Kaluza-Klein (KK) mass scale $m_{KK}$ and the Aharonov-Bohm (AB)…
We show that both flavor-conserving and flavor-violating Yukawa couplings of the Higgs boson to first- and second-generation quarks can be probed by measuring rare decays of the form h->MV, where M denotes a vector meson and V indicates…
We have performed a one-loop calculation of the width of the rare decay H -> Z Z \gamma in the standard model for Higgs boson masses 190 GeV \leq m_H \leq 250 GeV. We find that the most dominant helicity combinations for the Z bosons and…
Both Atlas and CMS have reported a discovery of a Standard Model-like Higgs boson $H$ of mass around 125 GeV. Consistency with the Standard Model implies the non-observation of non-SM like decay modes of the newly discovered particle.…
We calculate the two body Higgs boson decays in the framework of the littlest Higgs model. The decay $H \to \gamma Z$ is computed at one loop level and, using previous results, we evaluate the branching fractions in the framework of the…
We calculate decays of a Standard Model Higgs boson to a virtual massive particle and discuss how this depends on the massive particle total width. If the partial width of Higgs to a virtual massive particle can be measured this gives a…

The decay rate of the Higgs decay $H \to Z \gamma$ is evaluated at the one-loop level in the $SO(5)\times U(1)$ gauge-Higgs unification. Although an infinite number of loops with Kaluza-Klein states contribute to the decay amplitude, there…
We calculate the next-to-leading order (NLO) electroweak (EW) corrections to decay rates of charged Higgs bosons for various decay modes in the four types of two Higgs doublet models (THDMs) with the softly broken discrete Z_2 symmetry.…
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…
A search for exotic decays of the Higgs boson (H) with a mass of 125 GeV to a pair of light pseudoscalars $\mathrm{a}_1$ is performed in final states where one pseudoscalar decays to two b quarks and the other to a pair of muons or $\tau$…
In the scenario of gauge-Higgs unification, the origin of the Higgs boson is higher dimensional gauge boson. Reflecting its origin, very characteristic predictions are made of the Higgs boson interactions in this scenario. Especially, a…
Loop-induced decay of a neutral Higgs boson into a pair of gluons or photons has great implications for the Higgs discovery at the LHC. If the Higgs boson is heavy with mass above $\sim 500\gev$, however, these radiative branching ratios…
In this paper we assume the Higgs is an elementary scalar, and study how new physics could affect its couplings to electroweak gauge bosons. Adding LHC data to LEP data provides new, more stringent limits, particularly when the Higgs to two…
For a heavy Higgs boson above the $t\bar t$ threshold we consider three decay modes that could compete with decay to $t\bar t$, even in the alignment limit of a 2-Higgs doublet model. The decays $H\to AZ$, $ Z'Z'$ and $\tau'\tau'$ show that…
Precise measurements of various coupling constants of the 125 GeV Higgs boson $h$ are one of the most important and solid methods to determine the structure of the Higgs sector. If we find deviations in the $h$ coupling constants from the…
Higgs decays to Z boson pairs may be exploited to determine spin and parity of the Higgs boson, a method complementary to spin-parity measurements in Higgs-strahlung. For a Higgs mass above the on-shell ZZ decay threshold, a…
We study the deviation of yukawa coupling in the gauge-Higgs unification scenario from the Standard Model one. Applying the obtained results to the tau and bottom yukawa couplings, we numerically calculate the signal strength of $gg \to H…
In the standard model (SM), the coupling of the Higgs boson to electrons is real and very small, proportional to the electron mass. New physics could significantly modify both real and imaginary parts of this coupling. We discuss…
We have calculated the width of the rare decay $H\to\gamma\gamma Z$ at one-loop level in the standard model for Higgs boson masses in the range $115 {\rm GeV} \leq m_H \leq 160 {\rm GeV}$ . For this range of Higgs boson masses we find that…
