We explore the phenomenology of a fermiophobic Higgs: a Higgs whose couplings to fermions are suppressed. We calculate the branching ratios of a Higgs decaying to $\gamma\gamma$, $W^*W^*$, $Z^*Z^*$, $Zb\bar b$, $Z\gamma$, $\gamma b\bar b$,…

A search is presented for the decay of the 125 GeV Higgs boson (H) to a pair of new light pseudoscalar bosons (a), followed by the prompt decay of each a boson to a bottom quark-antiquark pair, H $\to$ aa $\to$ $\mathrm{b\bar{b}b\bar{b}}$.…

We study the dominant decays of the lightest Higgs boson in models with 2 and 3 Higgs doublets, for the case when its couplings to fermions are absent at tree-level. It is found that the branching ratio for the decay $H\to \gamma\gamma$ is…

If the fourth generation fermions exist, the new quarks could influence the branching ratios of the decays of $B\to X_s \gamma$ and $B\to X_sl^+l^-$. We obtain two solutions of the fourth generation CKM factor $V^{*}_{t^{'}s}V_{t^{'}b}$…
If the fourth generation fermions exist, the new quarks could influence the branching ratio of the rare $B\to K^{*}\nu\bar{\nu}$ decay. Two possible solutions of the fourth generation CKM factor $(V^{*}_{\acute{t}s}V_{\acute{t}b})^(\pm)$…
