We consider the addition of a condensing singlet scalar field to the Standard Model. Such a scenario may be motivated by any number of theoretical ideas, including the common result in string-inspired model building of singlet scalar fields…
We describe a simple extension of the standard model, containing a scalar singlet and a triplet fermion. The model can explain the possible enhancement in the decay $H \rightarrow \gamma \gamma$ at the LHC together with the excess found in…
Eleven years ago, the Higgs boson was discovered at the LHC. I briefly survey the status of Higgs boson physics today and explore some of the implications for future Higgs studies. Although current experimental measurements are consistent…
We consider extended scalar sectors of the Standard Model as ultraviolet-complete motivations for studying the effective Higgs self-interaction operators of the Standard Model effective field theory. We investigate all motivated heavy…
Electroweak scale active right-handed neutrinos such as those proposed in a recent model necessitate the enlargement of the SM Higgs sector to include Higgs triplets with doubly charged scalars. The search for and constraints on such Higgs…
The measurements of the properties of the Higgs boson still leave room for a non minimal scalar sector. Extensions of the Standard Model typically involve multiple neutral Higgs fields which can interfere among themselves. We show that…
Two-Higgs-doublet models (2HDM) are simple extensions of the Standard Model (SM) where the scalar sector is enlarged by adding a weak doublet. As a result, the Higgs potential depends in general on several free parameters which have to be…
The Higgs sector of the minimal 3 - 3 - 1 model with three triplets and one sextet is investigated in detail under the most general lepton--number conserving potential. The mass spectra and multiplet decompostion structure are explicitly…
We review the realization of the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism in the electroweak theory and describe the experimental and theoretical constraints on the mass of the single Higgs boson expected in the minimal Standard Model. We also discuss…
New scalars from an extended Higgs sector could have weak scale masses and still have escaped detection. In a Type I Two Higgs Doublet Model, for instance, even the charged Higgs can be lighter than the top quark. Because electroweak…
In this note we propose an overview on the current theoretical and experimental limits on a Higgs singlet extension of the Standard Model. We assume that the Boson which has recently been measured by the LHC experiments is the lightest…
In the post-Higgs discovery era, the primary goal of the Large Hadron collider is to discover new physics Beyond the Standard Model. One fundamental question is does new beyond the Standard Model composite dynamics provides the origin of…
We investigate the phenomenology of the Higgs sector of the minimal $B-L$ extension of the Standard Model. We present results for both the foreseen energy stages of the Large Hadron Collider ($\sqrt s=7$ and 14 TeV). We show that in such a…
In this talk, I discuss theoretical advances in understanding the properties of the Higgs boson and the implications for models of electroweak symmetry breaking. I begin by reviewing some of the recent progress in Standard Model…
The status and perspectives of Standard Model Higgs searches are discussed.
In non-minimal Higgs sectors, coupling constants of the discovered Higgs boson can deviate from the predictions in the Standard Model by effects of additional scalar bosons. The pattern of the deviations in various Higgs boson couplings…
The Higgs field is a central point of the Standard Model supplying masses to other fields through the symmetry breaking mechanism. However, it is associated with an elementary particle which is not yet discovered experimentally. In this…
We consider the phenomenological implications of charged scalar extensions of the SM Higgs sector in addition to EFT couplings of this new state to SM matter. We perform a detailed investigation of modifications of loop-induced decays of…
Three extensions of the scalar sector of the Standard Model are considered: one extra isosinglet, one extra isotriplet, two extra isotriplets (the Georgi-Machacek model). Double Higgs boson production cross section is calculated in all…
We explore the possibility that the Higgs boson of the standard model be actually a member of a larger family, by showing that a more elaborate internal structure naturally arises from geometrical arguments, in the context of a partly…
