We present lower bounds on the Higgs boson mass in the Standard Model with three and four fermion generations, SM (3,4), as well as upper bounds on the lightest Higgs boson mass in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the SM with three and four generations, MSSM (3,4). Our analysis utilizes the SM (3,4) renormalization-group-improved one-loop effective potential of the Higgs boson to find the upper bounds on the Higgs mass in the MSSM (3,4), while the lower bounds in the SM (3,4) are derived from considerations of vacuum stability. All the bounds increase as the degenerate fourth generation mass increases, providing more room in theory space that respects the increasing experimental lower limit of the Higgs mass.

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.
