The problems of the Standard Model, as well as questions related to Higgs boson properties led to the need to model the ttH associated production and the Higgs boson decay to a top quark pair within the MSSM model. With the help of computer programs MadGraph, Pythia, and Delphes and using the latest kinematic cuts taken from experimental data obtained at the LHC, we have predicted the masses of MSSM Higgs bosons, A and H.

After the Higgs boson discovery in 2012, the investigation of its properties and compatibility with the Standard Model predictions is central to the physics program of the LHC experiments. Likewise, the study of the top quark is still relevant at the LHC, more than two decades after its discovery at the Tevatron. Top quarks and Higgs bosons are produced at the LHC on a large scale and share a deep connection based on the large mass of the top quark. Both particles provide an excellent laboratory in which to search for new physics: the measurement of their properties tests the foundations of the Standard Model; and they feature prominently in a variety of exotic signals. The coupling of the Higgs boson to the top quark, a fundamental Standard Model parameter, can only be measured directly in processes where the two particles are produced together. The production of a Higgs boson together with one or two top quarks is also sensitive to several exciting new physics effects. A brief overview of the current experimental status of top quark and Higgs boson physics is presented using results from the CMS Collaboration.

Abstract The $$ \mathcal{CP} $$ CP structure of the Higgs boson in its coupling to the particles of the Standard Model is amongst the most important Higgs boson properties which have not yet been constrained with high precision. In this study, all relevant inclusive and differential Higgs boson measurements from the ATLAS and CMS experiments are used to constrain the $$ \mathcal{CP} $$ CP -nature of the top-Yukawa interaction. The model dependence of the constraints is studied by successively allowing for new physics contributions to the couplings of the Higgs boson to massive vector bosons, to photons, and to gluons. In the most general case, we find that the current data still permits a significant $$ \mathcal{CP} $$ CP -odd component in the top-Yukawa coupling. Furthermore, we explore the prospects to further constrain the $$ \mathcal{CP} $$ CP properties of this coupling with future LHC data by determining tH production rates independently from possible accompanying variations of the $$ t\overline{t}H $$ t t ¯ H rate. This is achieved via a careful selection of discriminating observables. At the HL-LHC, we find that evidence for tH production at the Standard Model rate can be achieved in the Higgs to diphoton decay channel alone.

Latest results of searches for heavy Higgs bosons in fermionic final states are presented using the CMS detector at the LHC. Results are based on pp collision data collected at centre-of-mass energies of 8 and 13 TeV which have been interpreted according to different extensions of the Standard Model such as MSSM, 2HDM, and NMSSM. These searches look for evidence of other scalar or pseudoscalar bosons, in addition to the observed SM-like 125 GeV Higgs boson, and set 95% confidence level upper limits in fermionic final states and benchmark models explored. The talk reviews briefly the major results obtained by the CMS Collaboration during Run I, and presents the most recent searches performed during Run II.

This paper analyses a method of producing the Higgs mass via the gravitational field. This approach has become very popular in recent years, as the consideration of other forces do not help in solving the problem of mass hierarchy. Not understand the difference between scales of the standard model and Grand unification theory. Here, we present a heuristic mechanism which eliminated this difference. The idea is that the density of the condensate of the Higgs is increased so that it is necessary to take into account self gravitational potential energy of the Higgs boson. The result is as follows. The mass of the Higgs is directly proportional to the cell density of the Higgs bosons. Or else the mass of the Higgs is inversely proportional to the cell volume, which is the Higgs boson in the condensate. The most interesting dimension of this cell condensation is equal to the scale of Grand unification. This formula naturally combines the scale of the standard model and Grand unification through gravitational condensation.

Higgs boson production in association with a single top quark is the only process sensitive to the sign of the Top Yukawa coupling. We present a Monte-Carlo study of the pp → tHqb process and discuss the esperimental signatures that can help to discover it at the LHC. Two scenarios have been considered, the Standard Model case and the Inverted Top Coupling scenario.

Detailed studies of neutral and charged Higgs boson pair production with full statistic detector simulations around [Formula: see text] with 500 pb−1 are presented in the context of a review of the Higgs boson discovery potential at LEP200. Already in the first phase of LEP200, a significant increase of the mass parameter space compared to LEP1 for the discovery of nonminimal Higgs bosons will be possible, while the mass range for the discovery of the minimal Standard Model Higgs boson will increase only marginally. The requirements for a decisive test of the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) at a later stage of LEP200 are discussed. A sensitivity mass range is given for charged Higgs bosons.

A global analysis is performed using the recent data from LEP and SLC. Constraints on the electroweak universal parameters (S, T, U) and on the masses of the top quark and Higgs boson within the standard model (SM) are investigated. The uncertainties due to the QCD and QED effective couplings, αs(mz) and , [Formula: see text] are examined in detail. Even though the mean value of S is increased to be consistent with zero, the naive Technicolor models are still disfavored due to its reduced error. Within the SM, we find the 90% CL constraints; 133 GeV<mt<190 GeV and 10 GeV<mH< 440 GeV for αs(mz)=0.116 and [Formula: see text]. The experimental constraints on the ZbLbL vertex form factor, [Formula: see text] play an important role in disfavoring the region of large mt(mt~200GeV) and large mH(mH~1000 GeV). If mt is precisely known, the present electroweak data give a rather strict upper bound on the Higgs mass, mH<140(300) GeV at 95% CL, for mt=160(175) GeV and for the above αs(mz) and [Formula: see text].

We study the single top production in association with a Higgs boson in theU(1)B-Lextension of the Standard Model at the LHC. We calculate the production cross sections of the processespp→thX  (h=H1,H2;  X=j,b,W)in this model. We further study the observability of the processpp→tH2jthroughpp→t(→qq-′b)H2(→4l)jand find that it is still challenging for the 14 TeV LHC with high luminosity to detect this signal.
