Flavour with a Light Dynamical "Higgs Particle"

R. Alonso, M. B. Gavela, L. Merlo +2

The Higgs-fermion couplings are sensitive probes of possible new physics behind a stable light Higgs particle. It is then essential to identify the flavour pattern of those interac…

The Effective Chiral Lagrangian for a Light Dynamical "Higgs Particle"

R. Alonso, M. B. Gavela, L. Merlo +2

We generalize the basis of CP-even chiral effective operators describing a dynamical Higgs sector, to the case in which the Higgs-like particle is light. Gauge and gauge-Higgs oper…
