Revealing the Shiny Nature of Lava Worlds: Small Planet Phase Curves with TESS

Brandon Park Coy, Michael Zhang, Fei Dai +1

Recent thermal emission observations suggest that `lava worlds'--Earth-sized exoplanets hot enough to melt their silicate surfaces--have atmospheres on a population-level. This evi…

Can collisions rival in probing doubly charged Higgs bosons?

Abdesslam Arhrib, Rachid Benbrik, Mohammed Boukidi +3

High-energy collisions, realizable as an operational mode of future lepton linear colliders such as the ILC and CLIC, provide a promising environment to probe extended Higgs s…

Sensitivity to Single Vector-Like Bottom Quark Production at 3 TeV CLIC

R. Benbrik, M. Berrouj, M. Boukidi +3

We study the sensitivity of the Compact Linear Collider at to the single electroweak production of a vector-like bottom quark in a type-II Two-Higgs-Doubl…

VLQBounds: Confronting Vector-Like Quark Models with LHC Searches

A. Arhrib, R. Benbrik, M. Boukidi +5

We present VLQBounds, a public, data-driven Python framework for testing Vector-Like Quark (VLQ) scenarios against Large Hadron Collider (LHC) exclusion limits from ATLAS and CMS.…

Probing Heavy Neutral Higgs Bosons via Single Vector-Like Bottom Quark Production at the HL-LHC

Rachid Benbrik, Mbark Berrouj, Mohammed Boukidi +3

We investigate the discovery prospects of a singly produced vector-like bottom quark in the Type-II Two-Higgs-Doublet Model extended by an vector-like doublet. We…

Impact of hidden heavy Higgs channels of VLB-Quarks below 1 TeV in 2HDM

Rachid Benbrik, Mbark Berrouj, Mohammed Boukidi +3

We investigate the phenomenological impact of incorporating vector-like bottom (VLB) quarks into the Type-II Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM-II). This framework introduces novel beyo…

Probing Doubly Charged Higgs Bosons with Three-Body Associated Production at Future Colliders

Brahim Ait-Ouazghour, Abdesslam Arhrib, Rachid Benbrik +4

We study the discovery prospects for a doubly charged Higgs boson in the 2-Higgs doublet model with type-II seesaw at future colliders. Focusing on the three-…

Single Production of a Vector-Like Top as a Probe of Charged Higgs Bosons at a Muon-Proton Collider

R. Benbrik, M. Berrouj, M. Boukidi +4

We investigate the discovery prospects for a vector-like top partner () within the Type-II Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM-II) at future high-energy colliders. The analysis f…
