Recently the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC have found a Higgs-like boson h with a mass around 125 GeV from several decay modes. The decay mode h →γγ is one of the most important modes in studying whether h is actually the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson. Current data indicate that h→γγ has a branching ratio larger than the SM prediction for h being identified as the SM Higgs boson. To decide whether the h discovered at the LHC is the SM Higgs boson, more data are needed. We study how γγ collider can help to provide some of the most important information about the Higgs boson properties. We show that a γγ collider can easily verify whether the enhanced h →γγ observed at the LHC hold. Different models can be tested by studying Higgs boson decay to γZ. Studying angular distribution of the γγ through on-shell production of h and its subsequent decays into a γγ pair can decide whether the Higgs-like boson h at the LHC is a spin-0 or a spin-2 boson.

We review the techniques and results of the searches for the Higgs boson performed by the two Tevatron collaborations, CDF and DØ. The Higgs boson predicted by the Standard Model was sought in the mass range 90 GeV < mH < 200 GeV in all main production modes at the Tevatron: gluon–gluon fusion, WH and ZH associated production, vector boson fusion, and [Formula: see text] production, and in five main decay modes: [Formula: see text], H→τ+τ-, H→WW(*), H→ZZ(*) and H→γγ. An excess of events was seen in the [Formula: see text] searches consistent with a Standard Model Higgs boson with a mass in the range 115 GeV < mH < 135 GeV . Assuming a Higgs boson mass of mH = 125 GeV , studies of Higgs boson properties were performed, including measurements of the product of the cross section times the branching ratio in various production and decay modes, constraints on Higgs boson couplings to fermions and vector bosons, and tests of spin and parity. We also summarize the results of searches for supersymmetric Higgs bosons, and Higgs bosons in other extensions of the Standard Model.

Abstract The NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS reports a study of a sample of 4 × 109 tagged π0 mesons from K+ → π+π0(γ), searching for the decay of the π0 to invisible particles. No signal is observed in excess of the expected background fluctuations. An upper limit of 4.4 × 10−9 is set on the branching ratio at 90% confidence level, improving on previous results by a factor of 60. This result can also be interpreted as a model- independent upper limit on the branching ratio for the decay K+ → π+X, where X is a particle escaping detection with mass in the range 0.110–0.155 GeV/c2 and rest lifetime greater than 100 ps. Model-dependent upper limits are obtained assuming X to be an axion-like particle with dominant fermion couplings or a dark scalar mixing with the Standard Model Higgs boson.

Abstract The $$ \mathcal{CP} $$ CP structure of the Higgs boson in its coupling to the particles of the Standard Model is amongst the most important Higgs boson properties which have not yet been constrained with high precision. In this study, all relevant inclusive and differential Higgs boson measurements from the ATLAS and CMS experiments are used to constrain the $$ \mathcal{CP} $$ CP -nature of the top-Yukawa interaction. The model dependence of the constraints is studied by successively allowing for new physics contributions to the couplings of the Higgs boson to massive vector bosons, to photons, and to gluons. In the most general case, we find that the current data still permits a significant $$ \mathcal{CP} $$ CP -odd component in the top-Yukawa coupling. Furthermore, we explore the prospects to further constrain the $$ \mathcal{CP} $$ CP properties of this coupling with future LHC data by determining tH production rates independently from possible accompanying variations of the $$ t\overline{t}H $$ t t ¯ H rate. This is achieved via a careful selection of discriminating observables. At the HL-LHC, we find that evidence for tH production at the Standard Model rate can be achieved in the Higgs to diphoton decay channel alone.

AbstractHiggs boson properties are studied in the four-lepton decay channel (where lepton = e, $$\mu $$ μ ) using 139 $$\hbox {fb}^{-1}$$ fb - 1 of proton–proton collision data recorded at $$\sqrt{s}=$$ s = 13 TeV by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The inclusive cross-section times branching ratio for $$H\rightarrow ZZ^*$$ H → Z Z ∗ decay is measured to be $$1.34 \pm 0.12$$ 1.34 ± 0.12  pb for a Higgs boson with absolute rapidity below 2.5, in good agreement with the Standard Model prediction of $$1.33 \pm 0.08$$ 1.33 ± 0.08  pb. Cross-sections times branching ratio are measured for the main Higgs boson production modes in several exclusive phase-space regions. The measurements are interpreted in terms of coupling modifiers and of the tensor structure of Higgs boson interactions using an effective field theory approach. Exclusion limits are set on the CP-even and CP-odd ‘beyond the Standard Model’ couplings of the Higgs boson to vector bosons, gluons and top quarks.

We review the effects of new effective interactions on Higgs-boson phenomenology. New physics in the electroweak bosonic sector is expected to induce additional interactions between the Higgs doublet field and the electroweak gauge bosons, leading to anomalous Higgs couplings as well as anomalous gauge-boson self-interactions. Using a linearly realized SU (2)L× U (1)Y invariant effective Lagrangian to describe the bosonic sector of the Standard Model, we review the effects of the new effective interactions on the Higgs-boson production rates and decay modes. We summarize the results from searches for the new Higgs signatures induced by the anomalous interactions in order to constrain the scale of new physics, in particular at CERN LEP and Fermilab Tevatron colliders.
