A concise review on some Higgs-related new physics models in light of current experiments

Abstract

Higgs boson may serve as a portal to new physics beyond the standard model (BSM) which is implied by theoretical naturalness or experimental anomalies. In this note we briefly survey some Higgs-related BSM physics models, including the low energy SUSY (focusing on the minimal SUSY model), the little Higgs models, the two-Higgs-doublet models and the simplest singlet extensions of the Higgs sector. For each illustrated BSM model, we emphatically elucidate its phenomenological power in explaining current measurements of the muon g-2, the W-boson mass and the dark matter. For the singlet extensions like the xSM and 2HDM+S, we discuss the induced cosmic phase transition and the dark matter relic density as well as the vacuum stability. Finally, we give an outlook.
