The most recent results about the Beyond Standard Model Higgs searches with the CMS experiment at the LHC will be presented. The talk would include material from SM Higgs, Exotica and SUSY analyses for the Higgs sector. Eventual new results for the Higgs searches with the Run 2 data will be detailed, if any.

We search for the pseudoscalar Higgs boson A of 2HDMs in the decay modes A-> tautau and A->Zh. In the latter case, h is the lightest neutral scalar Higgs boson and is assumed to be the newly discovered 125 GeV particle. The results are interpreted in the context of 2HDMs and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM).

It is possible that the electroweak scale is low in part due to selection effects, i.e., fine-tuning of the microscopic parameters. The experimental discovery of new light fundamental scalars other than the Standard Model Higgs boson would cast doubt on this theory, since generically such states imply parametrically worse fine-tuning with no compelling connection to selection effects. ...

The combined measurements of the properties of the Higgs boson using the ATLAS detector and up to 25 fb-1 of 7 TeV and 8 TeV pp collision data collected in 2011 and 2012, are discussed. The results are obtained combining all channels measured at run 1. They include strengths of production and decay modes, couplings to fermions and bosons, spin and CP properties.

We study the correlation between the Higgs trilinear coupling and the nature of Electroweak Phase Transition. We use two examples to illustrate this correlations -- a simplified model where we include higher order terms in the effective potential, and the NMSSM. We find a large deviation in the trilinear coupling from its Standard Model value in a theory that exhibits a strong first order...

In this talk, I will discuss scenarios of induced electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB), where the Higgs vacuum expectation value is induced by another EWSB source. These additional sources can be due to another Higgs vev or technicolor sector and can mitigate constraints on beyond the Standard Model theories (e.g. raising the Higgs mass in supersymmetric models). I will discuss the collider...

We study left-right symmetric supersymmetry and the constraints on its Higgs sector from LHC data. The model has a light doubly charged Higgs, whose mass comes from radiative corrections. The LHC bounds on the doubly charged Higgs mass reduce the parameter space significantly. We look at Higgs branching ratios and low energy constraints. We find that the Higgs decay width to bottom quarks can...

The discovery of the Higgs boson allows us to test the standard model at a new level. Ongoing and near future experiments on precision Higgs and EW observables requires a theory for SM deviations. While the kappa framework has been successful as a first attempt, a more consistent theory is required as one moves beyond leading order. In this talk I will summarize recent progress in the Higgs...

The discovery of the Higgs boson opens many perspectives to explore physics beyond the Standard Model. This talk describes constraints of new physics in a number of models using the combined measurements of the coupling strength of the 125 GeV Higgs particle using the entire ATLAS run-I data. The various models presented include an additional real electroweak singlet, two Higgs doublet models,...

After the discovery of a 125 GeV Higgs boson with properties close to those predicted in the Standard Model (SM), it is crucial to assess the existence of an extended Higgs sector. The framework of the two Higgs doublet models (2HDM) is particularly simple and well suited for such considerations. The alignment limit, realized either through decoupling of the additional Higgs states or the...

Effective field theory provides an excellent way to organize deviations from the Standard Model Higgs properties, in the case of an extended Higgs sector.
In this talk, we present the low energy theories of the Higgs sector for some of the most popular beyond the standard model UV completions. For brevity, we only consider the Higgs sector extended with a real singlet (xSM) and with a...

Since the discovery of a Higgs boson by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC, the emphasis has shifted towards measurements of its properties and the search for less sensitive channels in order to determine whether the new particle is the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson. Of particular importance is the direct observation of the coupling of the Higgs boson to top quarks. In this talk a...

In this work, the analysis of the Higgs sector in the context of the minimal $S(3)$-invariant extension of the Standard Model ($S(3)$SM) is performed. Three Higgs fields, which are SU(2) doublets, and CP invariant, are considered to compute the exact and analytical physical Higgs boson masses. Furthermore, within this model an explicit form of the trilinear self-couplings $\lambda_{ijk}$ are...

While current ATLAS and CMS measurements exclude a light charged Higgs ($m_{H^\pm}<160$ GeV) for most of the parameter region in the context of the MSSM scenarios, these bounds are significantly weakened in the Type II 2HDM once the exotic decay channel into a lighter neutral Higgs, $H^\pm \to AW/HW$, is open. In this study, we examine the possibility of a light charged Higgs produced in...

Searches in final states with two leptons plus missing transverse energy, targeting supersymmetric particles or invisible decays of the Higgs boson, were performed during Run 1 of the LHC. Recasting the results of these analyses in the context of the Inert Doublet Model (IDM) using MadAnalysis 5, we show that they provide constraints on inert scalars that significantly extend previous limits...

We present a detailed analysis of the rare exclusive Higgs-boson decays into a single vector meson and a photon and investigate the possibility of using these processes to probe the light-quark Yukawa couplings. We work with an effective Lagrangian with modified Higgs couplings to account for possible new-physics effects in a model-independent way. The $h\to V\gamma$ decay rate is governed by...

Searches for additional Higgs-like bosons are reported for Higgs boson masses between 145 GeV and 1 TeV. The search is based on proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to 5.1 inverse fb at the centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV and up to 19.3 inverse fb at 8 TeV, recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC. Several final states of the WW, ZZ, gammagamma, and...

Searching for Higgs bosons beyond the Standard Model (BSM) is one of the most important missions for hadron colliders. As a landmark of BSM physics, the MSSM Higgs sector at the LHC is expected to be tested up to the scale of the decoupling limit of O(1) TeV, except for a wedge region centered around tan ฮฒ ~ 3โ10, which has been known to be difficult to probe. In this talk, we present a...

Recent results on searches for charged Higgs bosons at the LHC by the CMS collaboration are presented. Charged Higgs bosons have bean searched for in top quark decays for lower mass and directly produced for higher masses. Charged Higgs boson decays into tau nu, cs and tb have been exploited. Results are based on approximately 20 fb-1 of data collected at sqrt(s) 8 TeV at the LHC.

The presence of extra scalar singlets is a feature of several motivated extensions of the Standard Model, and the mixing of such a singlet with the Higgs boson is allowed to be quite large by current experiments.

Double Higgs production is a unique collider process, enabling the determination of the Higgs self-coupling. However, it is exceedingly rare in the Standard Model, due to the cancellation between the standard triangle and box contributions to the amplitude. I will demonstrate an analytic understanding of this cancellation, and its implications for the impact of new physics on Higgs pair...

But we...

A new boson of mass 125 GeV has been discovered at the LHC. Within the present experimental uncertainties the properties of the new boson are in good agreement with the expectation for a standard model (SM) Higgs boson. The discovered SM-like Higgs boson may however be just one of several Higgs bosons, predicted by theories beyond the SM. Searches for additional neutral Higgs bosons beyond the...
