Abstract A search for a heavy Higgs boson H decaying into the observed Higgs boson h with a mass of 125 GeV and another Higgs boson hS is presented. The h and hS bosons are required to decay into a pair of tau leptons and a pair of b quarks, respectively. The search uses a sample of proton-proton collisions collected with the CMS detector at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb−1. Mass ranges of 240–3000 GeV for mH and 60–2800 GeV for $$ {m}_{{\mathrm{h}}_{\mathrm{S}}} $$ m h S are explored in the search. No signal has been observed. Model independent 95% confidence level upper limits on the product of the production cross section and the branching fractions of the signal process are set with a sensitivity ranging from 125 fb (for mH = 240 GeV) to 2.7 fb (for mH = 1000 GeV). These limits are compared to maximally allowed products of the production cross section and the branching fractions of the signal process in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model.

AbstractIn this work, we study the potential of searching for triply charged Higgs boson originating from a complex Higgs quadruplet in the final state with at least three same-sign leptons. A detailed collider analysis of the SM backgrounds and signals is performed at a 100 TeV pp collider for the triply charged Higgs boson mass below 1 TeV and the Higgs quadruplet vacuum expectation value $$v_\Delta $$ v Δ ranging from $$1.5\times 10^{-9}~\text {GeV}$$ 1.5 × 10 - 9 GeV to $$1.3~\text {GeV}$$ 1.3 GeV and the mass splitting $$\Delta m$$ Δ m between the nearby states of the Higgs quadruplet satisfying $$|\Delta m|\lesssim 30~\text {GeV}$$ | Δ m | ≲ 30 GeV . About $$100~\text {fb}^{-1}$$ 100 fb - 1 of data are required at most for $$5\sigma $$ 5 σ discovery. We also revisit the sensitivity at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and find that $$5\sigma $$ 5 σ discovery of the triply charged Higgs boson below 1 TeV can be reached for a relatively small $$v_\Delta $$ v Δ . For example, if $$v_\Delta =10^{-6}~\text {GeV}$$ v Δ = 10 - 6 GeV and $$\Delta m=0$$ Δ m = 0 , the integrated luminosity of $$330~\text {fb}^{-1}$$ 330 fb - 1 is needed. But for a relatively large $$v_\Delta $$ v Δ , i.e., $$v_\Delta \gtrsim 10^{-3}~\text {GeV}$$ v Δ ≳ 10 - 3 GeV , the triply charged Higgs boson above about 800 GeV cannot be discovered even in the high-luminosity LHC era. For $$\Delta m>0$$ Δ m > 0 , the cascade decays are open and the sensitivity can be improved depending on the value of $$v_\Delta $$ v Δ .

The CMS collaboration reported an intriguing [Formula: see text] (local) excess at 96 GeV in the light Higgs-boson search in the diphoton decay mode. This mass coincides with a [Formula: see text] (local) excess in the [Formula: see text] final state at LEP. We briefly review the proposed combined interpretations for the two excesses. In more detail, we review the interpretation of this possible signal as the lightest Higgs boson in the 2 Higgs Doublet Model with an additional real Higgs singlet (N2HDM). We show which channels have the best prospects for the discovery of additional Higgs bosons at the upcoming Run 3 of the LHC.

We present the implementation in the MadAnalysis 5 framework of the CMS-HIG-18-011 search for exotic decays of the Standard Model Higgs boson, in which the Higgs boson is assumed to decay into a pair of light pseudoscalar [Formula: see text], that then further decay into a di-muon and di-[Formula: see text]-jet final state. This analysis considers proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and data collected by the CMS experiment in 2016, with an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb[Formula: see text]. We present a selection of recast predictions, obtained with MadAnalysis 5 and Delphes 3, that include a few differential distributions, yields, and efficiencies. We show that they agree at a level of a few percent with public CMS results.
