We examine an extension of the Two-Higgs Doublet Model with a real gauge-singlet scalar Dark Matter candidate. This is the minimal Standard Model extension that allows for both Dark Matter and additional CP violation in the scalar sector. We have studied constraints on this model from the most recent LHC data together with Planck and direct Dark Matter searches (XENON/LUX/CRESST/CDMS). Invisible d ... More

The ATLAS experiment at the LHC has achieved the precision level for the measurement of the Standard Model processes and has observed the Higgs boson in different production and decay channels. This is an excellent basis to probe the data for possible extensions of the Higgs sector of the Standard Model. In this talk, an overview of the recent searches for Higgs bosons beyond the Standard Model b ... More

In July 2012 the discovery of a new particle has been announced. While it is clear that the particle is a Higgs boson it is not clear if it is the Standard Model Higgs boson. Measurements of the new particle have been performed and are ongoing to extract the properties of the boson. Finding additional Higgs bosons would exclude the Standard Model in its current shape. Many theories beyond the ... More

We consider the two-Higgs-doublet model as a framework in which to evaluate the viability of scenarios in which the sign of the Hbb coupling is opposite to that of the Standard Model (SM), while at the same time all other tree-level couplings are close to their SM values. Whereas such a scenario is consistent with current LHC observations, both future running at the LHC and the ILC could determin ... More

We analyze the bounds on the CP-odd Higgs boson coming from precision measurements of the properties of the recently discovered Higgs boson. We discussed the dependence on these bounds on the soft supersymmetry breaking parameters and compared these bounds with the ones obtained from direct searches for non-standard Higgs bosons. We show that there is an interesting complementarity between the bo ... More

We present the full anatomy of various D-term extensions of the MSSM's Higgs sector, which lift the Higgs mass at tree level and for a range of tan beta. We then explore the LHC & ILC's capability to determine their effect through their enhancement of Higgs branching ratios with respect to the Standard Model. A given D-term enhancement of the Higgs sector allows one to further set a lower boun ... More

I will present the computation of the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to electroweak Higgs plus three jet production (EW H+3jets) within the Matchbox NLO framework of the Herwig++ event generator. Both vector boson fusion (VBF) and Higgs-strahlung type contributions are included along with all interferences. I will discuss features of our Matchbox implementation and show the impact o ... More

We argue that the current experimental data in conjunction with perturbative unitarity considerations exclude the possibility that the LHC 125-126 GeV resonance is a generic massive spin-2 particle of either parity. We demonstrate that perturbative unitarity breaks down at energies Λ~600 GeV in tree-level Z-spin-2 elastic scattering. We further show that W-,Z-spin-2 interactions contribute to the ... More

We study future prospects of the stau which contributes to the Higgs coupling to di-photon. The coupling is sensitive to new physics and planned to be measured at percent levels in future colliders. We show that, if the excess of the coupling is measured to be larger than 4 %, the lightest stau is predicted to be lighter than about 200 GeV by taking vacuum meta-stability conditions into account. S ... More

We discuss the properties of the Standard Model-like Higgs boson in the pMSSM, a 19/20 – dimensional parameter space that captures most of the relevant phenomenology of the general MSSM. Within this framework, we characterize the range of possible deviations in the Higgs couplings to standard model particles and examine the possibility of invisible Higgs decays. We show that precision Higgs coup ... More

We introduce a framework, based on an effective field theory approach, that allows one to perform characterisation studies of the boson recently discovered at the LHC, for all the relevant channels and in a consistent, systematic and accurate way.

While there is little doubt that the particle discovered in July 2012 by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations is a Higgs boson, the question of its SM nature is tackled through the measurement of its properties: spin, parity, and couplings. The study of its fermion decay modes is an important part of this research programme, as evidenced by a number of analyses performed on the LHC Run 1 data by ... More

I will present predictions for the SM-Higgs-pair production channels at the LHC. Results, shown in arXiv:1401.7340, are at the NLO accuracy in QCD, and matched to parton showers by means of the MC@NLO method; hence, they are fully differential. I will show that for all channels in general, and for gluon-gluon fusion which is the dominant production channel, in particular, NLO corrections reduce th ... More

In the absence of direct discoveries, physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) can be parametrized by an effective field theory as an expansion in inverse powers of the New Physics scale. This expansion serves as a guide for precision searches. In fact, the leading term in this expansion coincides with the SM: its symmetries and relations are well known and are being tested at colliders. In this ... More

Investigation of the structure of the Standard Model effective potential at very large field strengths opens a window towards new phenomena and can reveal properties of the UV completion of the SM. The map of the lifetimes of the vacua of the SM enhanced by nonrenormalizable scalar couplings has been compiled to show how new interactions modify stability of the electroweak vacuum. Whereas it is po ... More

In this work, we use the results from Higgs searches in the $\gamma \gamma$ and $\tau \tau$ decay channels at LHC and indirect bounds as BR($B\toX_s\gamma$) to constrain the parameter space of a generic MSSM Higgs sector. In our analysis, we reduce to the minimum the model input and use only experimental information to restrict the scalar masses and mixings. In particular, we include the late ... More

After the discovery of the Higgs boson with mass around 126 GeV it has to be investigated if it is the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson or the Higgs boson of extensions beyond the SM (BSM). Among these, supersymmetry (SUSY) belongs to the most popular and most intensely studied BSM theories. The Higgs sector of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Extension (NMSSM) consists of seven Higgs b ... More

We discuss off-shell contributions in H->ZZ/WW and the signal-background interference in H->AA for the two main production mechanisms, Higgsstrahlung and vector boson fusion, at a linear collider. In case of extended Higgs sectors the correct description of the former effect is of importance for the observance of heavy Higgses in ZZ/WW final states.

The measurements of the properties of the recently discovered Higgs boson show good agreement with the predictions from the Standard Model. The currently large uncertainties on the Higgs couplings will be improved in the high-energy and high-luminosity phase of the LHC as well as at a future Higgs factory, so that small deviations in the Higgs couplings may manifest themselves. In this t ... More

Within the SM, the masses of the electroweak vector bosons arise by the spontaneous breaking of electroweak symmetry by the Higgs field. The ATLAS and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), have reported the discovery of a new boson with a mass of approximately 125 GeV with a significance of five or more standard deviations each. Both observations show consistency with the expected ... More

We introduce the public computer program HiggsSignals, which can be used to constrain arbitrary Higgs sectors from measurements of Higgs masses and rates at colliders. Using this code, we derive constraints on the parameters of Higgs sectors beyond the Standard Model from all currently available channels for the observed LHC signal. The results are presented both in a model-independent framework w ... More

We study the mass of the lightest CP-even Higgs boson in the deflected mirage mediation that is a quite general framework of the mediation of supersymmetry breaking, incorporating the case where all of the modulus-, the anomaly- and the gauge-mediated contributions to the soft supersymmetry breaking parameters become sizable. We evaluate the degree of tuning the so-called mu parameter required for ... More

The Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) is one of the simplest extensions of the Standard Model (SM). The discovery of the Higgs boson at the LHC, and the fact that its properties seem to follow what is expected within the SM, puts constrainst of the 2HDM. We will review those constraints and show that there is still a great deal of parameter space left where extra scalars may dwell.

I discuss the current 2HDM situation after including Higgs data from the completed Run 1 of the LHC. Prospects for discovering the additional 2HDM Higgs bosons (beyond the 125.5 GeV state) are reviewed as are implications should the next LHC Run show increasingly SM-like results for the 125.5 GeV state. The role of a non-decoupling charged Higgs boson loop contribution to the Higgs-photon-photon ... More

In a natural theory of electroweak symmetry breaking, the degrees of freedom that cure the hierarchy problem are expected to affect also the loop-induced couplings of the Higgs to gluons and photons. However, in the inclusive Higgs production rate measured so far at the LHC, the long-distance contribution of the top quark and the short-distance contribution of new physics cannot be disentangl ...
