Where are the Next Higgs Bosons?

Abstract

Simple symmetry arguments applied to the third generation lead to a prediction: there exist new sequential Higgs doublets with masses of order $\lesssim 5$ TeV, with approximately universal Higgs-Yukawa coupling constants, $g\sim 1$. This is calibrated by the known Higgs boson mass, the top quark Higgs-Yukawa coupling, and the $b$-quark mass. A new massive weak-isodoublet, $H_b$, coupled to the $b$-quark with $g\sim 1$ is predicted, and may be accessible to the LHC at $13$ TeV, and definitively at the energy upgraded LHC of $26$ TeV. The extension to leptons generates a new $H_{\tau }$ and a possible $H_{{\nu }_{\tau }}$ doublet. The accessibility of the latter depends upon whether the mass of the $\tau$-neutrino is Dirac or Majorana.
