In the littlest Higgs model with T-parity, the production cross section of the T-odd heavy gauge boson pair $Z_H W_H$ is quite sizable at the LHC. In addition, both the $W_H$ and $Z_H$ bosons have almost exclusively one decay channel into…
CMS reports on the recently updated, preliminary results with the full datasets of 2011 and 2012 in the analysis of the Higgs-like Boson at 125 GeV. Utilizing 5.1$fb^{-1}$ of 7 TeV data and 19.6$fb^{-1}$ of 8 TeV data, a signal strength of…

We consider the possibility that after operations at the LHC and e^+e^- Linear Colliders a Higgs boson will be discovered, but no signal of New Physics will be found (Standard-Model-like scenario). This can occur in the Standard Model (SM)…
With no conclusive signal till date of the minimal supersymmetric and extra dimensional models at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the issue of fine-tuning of the Higgs mass still calls for some attention. It could be very possible that the…
