Abstract Measuring the shape of the Higgs boson potential is of paramount importance, and will be a challenging task at current as well as future colliders. While the expectations for the measurement of the trilinear Higgs self-coupling are rather promising, an accurate measurement of the quartic self-coupling interaction is presently considered extremely challenging even at a future 100 TeV proton-proton collider. In this work we explore the sensitivity that a muon collider with a center of mass energy in the multi-TeV range and luminosities of the order of 1035cm−2s−1, as presently under discussion, might provide, thanks to a rather large three Higgs-boson production and to a limited background. By performing a first and simple analysis, we find a clear indication that a muon collider could provide a determination of the quartic Higgs self-coupling that is significantly better than what is currently considered attainable at other future colliders.

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.

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.

The recent discovery of a Higgs boson at LHC, while establishing the Higgs mechanism as the way of electroweak symmetry breaking, started an era of precision measurements involving the Higgs boson. In an effective Lagrangian framework, we consider the [Formula: see text] process, at an ILC running at a center-of-mass energy of 500 GeV to investigate the effect of the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] couplings on the sensitivity of [Formula: see text] coupling on this process. Our results show that the sensitivity of the trilinear Higgs self-couplings on this process has somewhat strong dependence on the Higgs-gauge boson couplings. Single- and two-parameter reaches of ILC with integrated luminosity of 1000 fb[Formula: see text] are obtained on all the effective couplings indicating how these limits are affected by the presence of anomalous [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] couplings. The kinematic distributions studied to understand the effect of the anomalous couplings, again, show strong influence of [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] couplings on the dependence of these distributions on [Formula: see text] coupling. Similar results are indicated in the case of the process, [Formula: see text], considered at a center-of-mass energy of 2 TeV, where the cross-section is large enough. The effect of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] couplings on the sensitivity of [Formula: see text] coupling is clearly established through our analyses in this process.

A recent search for the lepton flavor violating (LFV) decays of the Higgs boson, performed by CMS collaboration, reports an interesting deviation from the Standard Model (SM). The search conducted in the channel [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] shows an excess of 2.4[Formula: see text] signal events with 19.6 fb[Formula: see text] data at a center-of-mass energy [Formula: see text] = 8 TeV. On the other hand, a search performed by CMS collaboration for the SM Higgs boson produced in association with a top quark pair [Formula: see text] also showed an excess in the same-sign dimuon final state. In this work, we try to find out if these two seemingly uncorrelated excesses are related or not. Our analysis reveals that a LFV Higgs decay [Formula: see text] can partially explain the excess in the same-sign dimuon final state in the [Formula: see text] search, infact brings down the excess well within 2[Formula: see text] error of the SM expectation. Probing such non-standard Higgs boson decay is of interest and might contain hints of new physics at the electroweak scale.
