Abstract A discrepancy between the measured anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (g − 2)μ and computed Standard Model value now stands at a combined 4.2σ following experiments at Brookhaven National Lab (BNL) and the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL). A solution to the disagreement is uncovered in flipped SU(5) with additional TeV-Scale vector-like 10 + $$ \overline{\mathbf{10}} $$ 10 ¯ multiplets and charged singlet derived from local F-Theory, collectively referred to as $$ \mathcal{F} $$ F –SU(5). Here we engage general No-Scale supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking in $$ \mathcal{F} $$ F –SU(5) D-brane model building to alleviate the (g −2)μ tension between the Standard Model and observations. A robust ∆aμ(SUSY) is realized via mixing of M5 and M1X at the secondary SU(5) × U(1)X unification scale in $$ \mathcal{F} $$ F –SU(5) emanating from SU(5) breaking and U(1)X flux effects. Calculations unveil ∆aμ(SUSY) = 19.0–22.3 × 10−10 for gluino masses of M($$ \overset{\sim }{g} $$ g ~ )= 2.25–2.56 TeV and higgsino dark matter, aptly residing within the BNL+FNAL 1σ mean. This (g − 2)μ favorable region of the model space also generates the correct light Higgs boson mass and branching ratios of companion rare decay processes, and is further consistent with all LHC Run 2 constraints. Finally, we also examine the heavy SUSY Higgs boson in light of recent LHC searches for an extended Higgs sector.

AbstractThe prediction of additional Higgs bosons is one of the key features of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) that gives rise to an extended Higgs sector. We assess the sensitivity of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the high luminosity (HL) run alone and in combination with a possible future International Linear Collider (ILC) to probe heavy neutral Higgs bosons. We employ the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) as a framework and assume the light $$\mathcal {CP}$$ CP -even MSSM Higgs boson to be the Higgs boson observed at $$125\,\mathrm{GeV}$$ 125 GeV . We discuss the constraints on the MSSM parameter space arising from the precision measurements of the rates of the detected signal at $$125\,\mathrm{GeV}$$ 125 GeV and from direct searches for new heavy Higgs bosons in the $$\tau ^+\tau ^-$$ τ + τ - , $$b\bar{b}$$ b b ¯ and di-Higgs (hh) final states. A new benchmark scenario for heavy Higgs searches in the $$b\bar{b}$$ b b ¯ channel is proposed in this context. For the future Higgs rate measurements at the HL-LHC and ILC two different scenarios are investigated, namely the case where the future rate measurements agree with the SM prediction and the case where the rates agree with the predictions of possible realizations of the MSSM Higgs sector in nature.

AbstractThe particle discovered in the Higgs boson searches at the LHC with a mass of about 125 GeV is compatible within the present uncertainties with the Higgs boson predicted in the Standard Model (SM), but it could also be identified with one of the neutral Higgs bosons in a variety of beyond the SM (BSM) theories with an extended Higgs sector. The possibility that an additional Higgs boson (or even more than one) could be lighter than the state that has been detected at 125 GeV occurs generically in many BSM models and has some support from slight excesses that were observed above the background expectations in Higgs searches at LEP and at the LHC. The couplings between additional Higgs fields and the electroweak gauge bosons in BSM theories could be probed by model-independent Higgs searches at lepton colliders. We present a generator-level extrapolation of the limits obtained at LEP to the case of a future $$e^+e^-$$ e + e - collider, both for the search where the light Higgs boson decays into a pair of bottom quarks and for the decay-mode-independent search utilising the recoil method. We find that at the ILC with a centre-of-mass energy of 250 GeV, an integrated luminosity of 500 fb$$^{-1}$$ - 1 and polarised beams, the sensitivity to a light Higgs boson with reduced couplings to gauge bosons is improved by more than an order of magnitude compared to the LEP limits and goes much beyond the projected indirect sensitivity of the HL-LHC with 3000 fb$$^{-1}$$ - 1 from the rate measurements of the detected state at 125 GeV.

We examine the Higgs sector of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model. The requirement of perturbative unification combined with the recent LEP data on Higgs boson searches, excludes substantial regions of parameter space. We find that only 0.42 ≤ tan β≲0.76 and tan β≳1.30 are the allowed values for tan β=υ2/υ1. We also determine the absolute lower bound on the lightest Higgs mass to be ≈8 GeV. We conclude that improved lower bounds on the top quark mass and/or the standard model Higgs boson mass will impose yet more stringent constraints on the model. These results clearly favor tan β>1, in agreement with N=1 supergravity or superstring-inspired models.

We study the question of distinguishability of the Higgs sector between the standard model with four generations (SM4) and the minimal supersymmetric standard model with four generations (MSSM4). We find that a gap exists between the SM4 and MSSM4 Higgs boson masses for a range of fourth generation fermion mass considered in the analysis at a fixed top quark mass. We also compare the Higgs boson mass bounds in these models with those in the standard and the minimal supersymmetric standard models.

Abstract A search is presented for a Higgs boson that is produced via vector boson fusion and that decays to an undetected particle and an isolated photon. The search is performed by the CMS collaboration at the LHC, using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 130 fb−1, recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in 2016–2018. No significant excess of events above the expectation from the standard model background is found. The results are interpreted in the context of a theoretical model in which the undetected particle is a massless dark photon. An upper limit is set on the product of the cross section for production via vector boson fusion and the branching fraction for such a Higgs boson decay, as a function of the Higgs boson mass. For a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV, assuming the standard model production rates, the observed (expected) 95% confidence level upper limit on the branching fraction is 3.5 (2.8)%. This is the first search for such decays in the vector boson fusion channel. Combination with a previous search for Higgs bosons produced in association with a Z boson results in an observed (expected) upper limit on the branching fraction of 2.9 (2.1)% at 95% confidence level.

Finite Unified Theories (FUTs) are N = 1 supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) which can be made finite to all-loop orders, based on the principle of reduction of couplings, and therefore are provided with a large predictive power. We confront the predictions of an SU(5) FUT with the top and bottom quark masses and other low-energy experimental constraints, resulting in a relatively heavy SUSY spectrum, naturally consistent with the nonobservation of those particles at the LHC. The light Higgs boson mass is automatically predicted in the range compatible with the Higgs discovery at the LHC. Requiring a light Higgs boson mass in the precise range of Mh= 125.6 ±2.1 GeV favors the lower part of the allowed spectrum, resulting in clear predictions for the discovery potential at current and future pp, as well as future e+e-colliders.

The 2H model that resembles the Higgs sector of the minimal N=1 SUSY version of the standard model is considered and the contribution of the charged Higgs boson to the rate of the b→sl+l− transition is studied as a function of the free parameters MH, Mt and the squared two Higgs doublet v.e.v. ratio r. It is shown that this process can be suppressed by the charged Higgs boson contribution and that in general it is not very sensitive to its presence unless (SUSY-forbidden) values of r>1 are assumed.

The observation of [Formula: see text] at present experiments would be a clear sign of new physics. In this paper, we calculate this process in an extended Higgs sector framework where the decay is mediated by the exchange of spin zero particle with flavor changing neutral current couplings. If we identify the scalar with the newly discovered state at LHC with a mass ~125 GeV then we find that, after imposing all experimental constraints, the [Formula: see text] can be as high as ~10-6 and [Formula: see text] can be as high as ~10-7. We also calculate this process in the minimal supersymmetric standard model and find the [Formula: see text] is typically of the order ~10-8.
