CP Studies and Non-Standard Higgs Physics

S. Kraml, E. Accomando, A. G. Akeroyd +163

There are many possibilities for new physics beyond the Standard Model that feature non-standard Higgs sectors. These may introduce new sources of CP violation, and there may be mi…

Constraining SUSY models with Fittino using measurements before, with and beyond the LHC

P. Bechtle, K. Desch, M. Uhlenbrock +1

We investigate the constraints on Supersymmetry arising from available precision measurements using a global fit approach. When interpreted within minimal supergravity (mSUGRA), th…

MSSM Interpretations of the LHC Discovery: Light or Heavy Higgs?

P. Bechtle, S. Heinemeyer, O. Stål +3

A Higgs-like particle with a mass of about 126 GeV has been discovered at the LHC. Within the experimental uncertainties, the measured properties of this new state are compatible w…

HL-LHC and ILC sensitivities in the hunt for heavy Higgs bosons

H. Bahl, P. Bechtle, S. Heinemeyer +3

The prediction of additional Higgs bosons is one of the key features of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) that gives rise to an extended Higgs sector. We assess the sensitivit…
