Muon (g − 2) and thermal WIMP DM in U 1 L μ − L τ $$ \textrm{U}{(1)}_{L_{\mu }-{L}_{\tau }} $$ models by Seungwon Baek, Jongkuk Kim, P. Ko

“…In this work, we show that this tight relationship between M Z ′ $$ {M}_{Z^{\prime }} $$ and M DM can be evaded or nullified both for scalar and spin-1/2 DM by considering the contributions from the dark Higgs boson (H 1). The dark Higgs boson plays an important role, not only because it gives mass to the dark photon but also because it introduces additional DM annihilation channels, including new final states such as H 1 H 1, Z′Z′, and Z′H 1. …”

A 125 GeV Higgs and Its Diphoton Signal in Different SUSY Models: A Mini Review by Zhaoxia Heng

“…Our conclusion is as follows (i) in the allowed parameter space the SM-like Higgs boson can easily be 125 GeV in the MSSM, NMSSM, and nMSSM, while it is hard to realize in the constrained MSSM; (ii) the diphoton Higgs signal rate in the nMSSM and constrained MSSM is suppressed relative to the prediction of the SM, while the signal rate can be enhanced in the MSSM and NMSSM; (iii) the NMSSM may allow for a lighter top squark than the MSSM, which can thus ameliorate the fine-tuning problem.…”

Higgs alignment from multicritical-point principle in two Higgs doublet models by Hikaru Kawai, Kiyoharu Kawana, Kin-ya Oda, Kei Yagyu

“…Abstract In models with non-minimal Higgs sectors, enforcing (near) Higgs alignment, necessary to prevent significant deviations in the Higgs boson coupling from the standard model prediction, causes a serious fine-tuning problem. …”

Classifying the CP properties of the ggH coupling in H + 2j production by Henning Bahl, Elina Fuchs, Marc Hannig, Marco Menen

“…We also discuss the most relevant observables and how $\mathcal{CP}$ violation in the Higgs–gluon interaction can be disentangled from $\mathcal{CP}$ violation in the interaction between the Higgs boson and massive vector bosons. Assuming the absence of $\mathcal{CP}$-violating Higgs interactions with coloured beyond-the-Standard-Model states, our projected limits on a $\mathcal{CP}$-violating top-Yukawa coupling are competitive with more direct probes like top-associated Higgs production and limits from a global fit.…”

Sources of Charged Higgs Pair through Double or Triple Higgs Production at Linear Colliders by Ijaz Ahmed

Higgs Information and NMSSM at the Large Hadron Collider by Surabhi Gupta, Sudhir Kumar Gupta

“…Information theory has proven to be a worthwhile tool for investigating the implications of the Higgs sector in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) using Higgs information at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) assessed through the entropy constructed by means of the branching ratios of decay channels of the Higgs boson. The present article focuses on the parameter space of supersymmetric extension with an extra term of singlet in light of various experimental constraints. …”

The Physics Case for an Electron-Muon Collider by Meng Lu, Andrew Michael Levin, Congqiao Li, Antonios Agapitos, Qiang Li, Fanqiang Meng, Sitian Qian, Jie Xiao, Tianyi Yang

“…., 20–200 GeV, 50–1000 GeV, and 100–3000 GeV, would be able to probe charged lepton flavor violation and measure Higgs boson properties precisely. The collision of an electron and muon beam leads to less physics background compared with either an electron-electron or a muon-muon collider, since electron-muon interactions proceed mostly through higher-order vector boson fusion and vector boson scattering processes. …”
