We compute the fully differential rate for the Higgs-boson decay $h\to Z\ell^+\ell^-$, with $Z\to\ell^{'+}\ell^{'-}$. For these processes we assume the most general matrix elements within an effective Lagrangian framework. The electroweak…
The idea of reduction of couplings provides a systematic procedure to search for relations among seemingly unrelated parameters of a renormalizable theory. As a consequence, such reduced theories exhibit more constrained parameter spaces.…
To properly discover a charged Higgs Boson ($H^\pm$) requires its spin and couplings to be determined. We investigate how to utilize $\ttbar$ spin correlations to analyze the $H^\pm$ couplings in the decay $t\to bH^+\to b\tau^+\nu_\tau$.…
We address momentum entanglement in Higgs decays to weak boson pairs, $H \to WW,ZZ$, by discretising momentum space. The momenta of the two weak bosons are entangled, as well as the degrees of freedom in momentum and spin spaces. For $H \to…
