The recently proposed multi-phase criticality principle in Coleman-Weinberg models can provide a new explanation for the hierarchy between the electroweak and new physics scales. When applied to the Standard Model, a Higgs boson as light as…
We discuss some consistency tests that must be passed for a successful explanation of a diphoton excess at larger mass scales, generated by a scalar or pseudoscalar state, possibly of a composite nature, decaying to two photons. Scalar…
The effective field theory (EFT) framework is a precise approximation procedure when the inherent assumptions of a large-scale separation between the Standard Model (SM) and new interactions alongside perturbativity are realised.…
We consider the classically scale invariant Higgs-dilaton model of dynamical symmetry breaking extended with an extra scalar field that plays the role of dark matter. The Higgs boson is light near a critical boundary between different…
We propose a parametrization of anomalous Higgs-boson couplings that is both systematic and practical. It is based on the electroweak chiral Lagrangian, including a light Higgs boson, as the effective field theory (EFT) at the electroweak…
There are two canonical approaches to treating the Standard Model as an Effective Field Theory (EFT): Standard Model EFT (SMEFT), expressed in the electroweak symmetric phase utilizing the Higgs doublet, and Higgs EFT (HEFT), expressed in…
We consider a conformal complex singlet extension of the Standard Model with a Higgs portal interaction. The global $U(1)$ symmetry of the complex singlet can be either broken or unbroken and we study each scenario. In the unbroken case,…
Precise measurements of SM particles properties at the LHC allows to look for heavy New Physics in the context of an Effective Field Theory (EFT). These searches, however, often rely on kinematic regions where the validity of the EFT may be…
We propose a generalization of the Standard Model (SM) by adding two real gaugesinglets S1, S2. The field S1 will improve the strength of the electroweak phase transition (EWPT). Imposing a Z2 symmetry on the field S2 makes this field a…
Multi-step phase transition provides a paradigm in which a broken symmetry during phase transition can be restored, enriching the phenomena of both dark matter and baryon asymmetry. We study the dynamics of the multi-step phase transition…
We construct a composite two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) within the context of dilaton effective field theory. This EFT describes the particle spectrum observed in lattice simulations of a near-conformal $SU(3)$ gauge field theory. A second…
We study scalar singlet extensions of the Standard Model (SM), focusing on scenarios where dark matter (DM) is stabilized by a \(\mathbb{Z}_2\) symmetry. In the minimal single-scalar extension of the SM, only a narrow region near the Higgs…
Di-Higgs ($hh$) production is crucial for probing the Higgs boson self-interaction and understanding the electroweak phase transition. Deviations from Standard Model predictions in $hh$ gluon-gluon fusion (ggF) can be systematically…
This work considers an extension of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs sector by a real, scalar singlet field, including applicability to a dark matter (DM) model with the addition of a Yukawa coupling to a Dirac fermion. The collider signatures…
The Coleman-Weinberg mechanism can realise different phases of dynamical symmetry breaking. In each phase a combination of scalars, corresponding to the pseudo-Goldstone boson of scale invariance, has a loop-suppressed mass. We show that…
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…
Recent efforts, both theoretical and experimental, have increasingly focused on the scalar potential of the Standard Model, with a highlight on the trilinear Higgs coupling. This parameter has long been recognized for its potential to test…
We examine effective field theories (EFTs) with a continuum sector in the presence of gravity. We first explain, via arguments based on central charge and species scale, that an EFT with a free continuum cannot consistently couple to…
We consider the classically scale invariant Higgs-dilaton model of dynamical symmetry breaking extended with an extra scalar field that plays the role of dark matter. The Higgs boson is light near a critical boundary between different…
In a recently proposed scenario for primordial inflation, where the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson plays a role of the inflation field, an effective field theory (EFT) approach is the most convenient for working out the consequences of…
