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.

In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), the bottom Yukawa coupling of the Higgs boson can considerably deviate from its Standard Model prediction due to nondecoupling effects. We point out that the ratio of the Higgs boson decay branching fraction to a bottom quark pair and that to a W-boson pair from the same production channel is particularly sensitive to large additional MSSM Higgs boson mass regions at future electron–positron colliders. Based on this precision measurement, we explicitly show the indirect discovery reach of the additional Higgs bosons according to planned programs of the International Linear Collider.

The Impact

We analyse the impact of explicit CP-violation in the Higgs sector of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) on its consistency with the Higgs boson data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Through detailed scans of the parameter space of the complex NMSSM for certain fixed values of one of its CP-violating (CPV) phases, we obtain a large number of points corresponding to five phenomenologically relevant scenarios containing ∼125 GeV Higgs boson(s). We focus, in particular, on the scenarios where the visible peaks in the experimental samples can actually be explained by two nearly mass-degenerate neutral Higgs boson states. We find that some points corresponding to these scenarios give an overall slightly improved fit to the data, more so for nonzero values of the CPV phase, compared to the scenarios containing a single Higgs boson near 125 GeV.

Higgs Scalar

The new particle recently discovered at the Large Hadron Collider has properties compatible with those expected for the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson. However, this does not exclude the possibility that the discovered state is of non-standard origin, as part of an elementary Higgs sector in an extended model, or not at all a fundamental Higgs scalar. We review briefly the motivations for Higgs boson scenarios beyond the SM, discuss the phenomenology of several examples, and summarize the prospects and methods for studying interesting models with non-standard Higgs sectors using current and future data.

Minimal Supersymmetric Model

While the existence of a Higgs boson with a mass near 125 GeV has been clearly established, the detailed structure of the entire Higgs sector is yet unclear. Besides the Standard Model interpretation, various possibilities for extended Higgs sectors are being considered. The minimal supersymmetric extension (MSSM) features two Higgs doublets resulting in five physical Higgs bosons, which are subject to direct searches. Alternatively, more generic Two-Higgs Doublet models (2HDM) are used for the interpretation of results. The Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Model (NMSSM) has a more complex Higgs sector with seven physical states. Also exotic Higgs bosons decaying to invisible final states are considered. This article summarizes recent findings based on results from collider experiments.

AbstractWe study the correlation between the constraints on general two Higgs doublet model from Higgs inflation and from collider experiments. The parameter space receives meaningful constraints from direct searches at the large hadron collider and from flavor physics if $$m_H$$ m H , $$m_A$$ m A , and $$m_{H^\pm }$$ m H ± are in the sub-TeV range, where H, A, and $$H^\pm $$ H ± are the CP even, CP odd, and charged Higgs bosons, respectively. We find that in the parameter region favored by the Higgs inflation, H, A, and $$H^\pm $$ H ± are nearly degenerate in mass. We show that such near degeneracy can be probed directly in the upcoming runs of the Large Hadron Collider, while the future lepton colliders such as the International Linear Collider and the future circular collider would provide complementary probes.

The Standard Model

In the context of particle physics, within the ATLAS and CMS experiments at large hadron collider (LHC), this work presents the discussion of the discovery of a particle compatible with the Higgs boson by the combination of several decay channels, with a mass of the order of 125.5 GeV. With increased statistics, that is the full set of data collected by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at LHC ( s1/2 = 7GeV and s1/2 = 8GeV ), the particle is also discovered individually in the channel h-->γγ with an observed significance of 5.2σ and 4.7σ, respectively. The analysis dedicated to the measurement of the mass mh and signal strength μ which is defined as the ratio of σ(pp --> h) X Br(h-->X) normalized to its Standard Model where X = WW*; ZZ*; γγ ; gg; ff. The combined results in h-->γγ channel gave the measurements: mh = 125:36 ± 0:37Gev, (μ = 1:17 ± 0:3) and the constraint on the width Γ(h) of the Higgs decay of 4.07 MeV at 95%CL. The spin study rejects the hypothesis of spin 2 at 99 %CL. The odd parity (spin parity 0- state) is excluded at more than 98%CL. Within the theoretical and experimental uncertainties accessible at the time of the analysis, all results: channels showing the excess with respect to the background-only hypothesis, measured mass and signal strength, couplings, quantum numbers (JPC), production modes, total and differential cross-sections, are compatible with the Standard Model Higgs boson at 95%CL. Although the Standard Model is one of the theories that have experienced the greatest number of successes to date, it is imperfect. The inability of this model to describe certain phenomena seems to suggest that it is only an approximation of a more general theory. Models beyond the Standard Model, such as 2HDM, MSSM or NMSSM, can compensate some of its limitations and postulate the existence of additional Higgs bosons.

The High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) is a major upgrade of the LHC, expected to deliver an integrated luminosity of up to 3000/fb over one decade. The very high instantaneous luminosity will lead to about 200 proton-proton collisions per bunch crossing (pileup) superimposed to each event of interest, therefore providing extremely challenging experimental conditions. The scientific goals of the HL-LHC physics program include precise measurement of the properties of the recently discovered standard model Higgs boson and searches for beyond the standard model physics (heavy vector bosons, SUSY, dark matter and exotic long-lived signatures, to name a few). In this contribution we will present the strategy of the CMS experiment to investigate the feasibility of such search and quantify the increase of sensitivity in the HL-LHC scenario.

No significant excess is observed above the expected background, and the cross section limits for the Higgs bosons are calculated. It is noticed that the standard model Higgs boson in the mass range 163 – 166 GeV/c2 is excluded at the 95% C.L.

A major focus at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be on Higgs boson studies and it would be an interesting prospect to simultaneously probe for physics beyond the Standard Model in the Higgs signals. In this work we show as to what extent, the effects of universal extra dimension (UED) can be isolated at the LHC through the Higgs signals. By doing a detailed study of the different uncertainties involved in the measurement of the rates for the process pp →h →γγ, we estimate the extent to which these uncertainties can mask the effects of the contributions coming from UED.
