152. The light charged Higgs and CP odd Higgs bosons at the LHC

Dr Seodong Shin (Seoul National University)

06/05/2013, 14:00

parallel talk

Analyzing the recent Higgs search result in the WW channel at the LHC, we probe the possible existence of light charged Higgs and CP odd Higgs bosons which are lighter than the top quark. The viable parameter region is shown in terms of the generic Higgs mixing parameters and the masses. We also check its contribution to the total WW production cross section at the LHC.

32. Constraining Type II 2HDM in Light of LHC Higgs Searches

Mr Felix Kling (University of Arizona)

parallel talk

We study the implication of the LHC Higgs search results on the Type II Two Higgs-Doublet Models. In particular, we explore the scenarios in which the observed 126 GeV Higgs signal is interpreted as either the light CP-even Higgs h or the heavy CP-even Higgs H. Imposing both the theoretical and experimental constraints, we analyze the surviving parameter regions in mh, mH, mA, mH±, tanβ and...

90. Exploring two Higgs doublet models through Higgs production

Chien-Yi Chen (Brookhaven National Laboratory)

06/05/2013, 14:30

parallel talk

I will discuss the connections between the recently observed Higgs-like particle and rare B decays in the context of two Higgs doublet models (2HDMs). The measured decays of the Higgs boson to fermions and gauge bosons, along with the observation of the decay B_s -> \mu+ \mu-, place stringent restrictions on the allowed parameter space of 2 Higgs doublet models. Future measurements of h0 ->...

86. Carving Out Parameter Space in Type-II Two Higgs Doublets Model

Patipan Uttayarat (University of Cincinnati)

06/05/2013, 14:45

parallel talk

We analyze the Type-II two Higgs doublets model in light of the newly discovered Higgs-like particle with mass 125 GeV. The observed 125 GeV particle is identified with the light CP-even Higgs boson in the two Higgs doublets model. We study the parameter space of the model consistent with the Higgs data, branching ratio of $\bar{B}\to X_s\gamma$ as well as precision...

95. Higgs doublet models in light of LHC data

Dr Gabe Shaughnessy Shaughnessy (University of Wisconsin)

06/05/2013, 15:00

parallel talk

There is strong evidence mounting that the new particle discovered by CMS and ATLAS at 125 GeV is a Higgs boson. I will review both traditional and general Higgs doublet models in light of recent data and discuss prospects for further probing them at the LHC.

35. Parasitic new physics associated with the SM Higgs

We-Fu Chang (National Tsing Hua University)

06/05/2013, 15:15

parallel talk

We study the new physics(NP) related to the recent discovered $125$ GeV Higgs by employing an important subset of the standard model(SM) gauge invariant dimension-six operators constructed by the the SM Higgs and gauge fields. Explicitly, we perform a model-independent study on the production and decays of the Higgs, the electric dipole moments(EDM) of the neutron and the electron, and we...

208. Spin Parity of the higgs boson: vector boson fusion(VBF) and VH production at the LHC

Prof. rohini godbole (CHEP, IISc, Bangalore)

06/05/2013, 15:30

I will discuss possibilities to probe the spin parity of the Higgs boson, as well as anomalous VVH vertex using kinematics of the tagging jets in the vector boson fusion production of the Higgs boson.I will also further discuss the use of VH production to probe the same.
