We analyze corrections to the minimal supersymmetric Higgs self-couplings within the effective potential approach.

We explore the possibility of probing the scalar potential of the CP-conserving Two Higgs Doublet Model through the production of a light-heavy Higgs boson pair. The $hH$ process is complementary to $hh$ production in providing information about the triscalar couplings. Using multivariate analysis, we determine the LHC14 discovery reach in the $b\bar{b}\gamma \gamma$ and $h h\gamma \gamma...

Models of electroweak symmetry breaking, with an extended Higgs sector, are theoretically well motivated. In this study, we focus on the Two Higgs Doublet Model, with a low energy spectrum containing scalars $H$, a pseudoscalar $A$ and charged scalars $H^{\pm}$. We look at exotic decays of those extra Higgses into a light Higgs and a gauge boson: $A/H \rightarrow HZ/AZ$ and $H^{\pm}...

The next step in understanding the mechanism behind electroweak symmetry breaking is to look for signs of a second Higgs doublet which is required by some of the well motivated extensions of the Standard Model. In a general two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) there are flavor changing neutral currents at tree level. Experimental results limit the size of these off-diagonal Yukawa couplings but...
