The Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM), the singlet extension of the MSSM which fixes many of the MSSM's shortcomings, is shown to be within reach of the upcoming runs of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A systematic…
We consider a supersymmetric realization of the MSSM Higgs sector, where the soft terms are promoted to supersymmetric operators and a minimal weakly coupled hidden sector is included. The model exhibits long-lived meta-stable vacua in…
In some extensions of the standard model with extended Higgs sectors, events from new particle production may pass the selection criteria for Higgs search in different channels at the LHC - 14 TeV and mimic Higgs signals. This intriguing…
Within the $\nu$MSSM, a Minimal Supersymmetric neutrino See-saw Model, Lepton Flavour Violating Higgs couplings are strongly enhanced at large $\tan\beta$ ($\gsim30$), which can lead to BR$(H^0/A^0 \to \tau\mu) \simeq O(10^{-4})$, for…

We review that the heavy CP-even MSSM Higgs boson is still a viable candidate to explain the Higgs signal at 125 GeV. This is possible in a highly constrained parameter region, that will be probed by LHC searches for the CP-odd Higgs boson…
We extend heavy Higgs searches at the Large Hadron Collider for $H \to \tau \mu$ by CMS, and $H \to \tau\tau$ by ATLAS and CMS, to study discovery prospects of extra Higgs states in $pp \to H,A \to \tau \mu, \tau\tau$ with $e\mu + E_T$ and…

Search for the Higgs Boson is one of the prime goals of the LHC. Higgs bosons lighter than 130 GeV decay mainly to a b-quark pair. While the detection of a directly produced Higgs boson in the bb channel is impossible because of the huge…
