- Models with extended Higgs sectors at future e(+)e(-) collidersPublication . Azevedo, Duarte; Ferreira, Pedro Miguel; Muehlleitner, Milada Margarete; Santos, Rui; Wittbrodt, JonasWe discuss the phenomenology of several beyond the Standard Model (SM) extensions that include extended Higgs sectors. The models discussed are the SM extended by a complex singlet field, the 2-Higgs-doublet model with a CP-conserving and a CP-violating scalar sector, the singlet extension of the 2-Higgs-doublet model, and the next-to-minimal supersymmetric SM extension. All the above models have at least three neutral scalars, with one being the 125 GeV Higgs boson. This common feature allows us to compare the production and decay rates of the other two scalars and therefore to compare their behavior at future electron-positron colliders. Using predictions on the expected precision of the 125 GeV Higgs boson couplings at these colliders we are able to obtain the allowed admixtures of either a singlet or a pseudoscalar to the observed 125 GeV scalar. Therefore, even if no new scalar is found, the expected precision at future electron-positron colliders, such as CLIC, will certainly contribute to a clearer picture of the nature of the discovered Riggs boson.
- One-loop corrections to the Higgs boson invisible decay in the dark doublet phase of the N2HDMPublication . Azevedo, Duarte; Gabriel, Pedro; Muehlleitner, Milada Margarete; Sakurai, Kodai; Santos, RuiThe Higgs invisible decay width may soon become a powerful tool to probe extensions of the Standard Model with dark matter candidates at the Large Hadron Collider. In this work, we calculate the next-to-leading order (NLO) electroweak corrections to the 125 GeV Higgs decay width into two dark matter particles. The model is the next-to-minimal 2-Higgs-doublet model (N2HDM) in the dark doublet phase, that is, only one doublet and the singlet acquire vacuum expectation values. We show that the present measurement of the Higgs invisible branching ratio, BR(H -> invisible < 0.11), does not lead to constraints on the parameter space of the model at leading order. This is due to the very precise measurements of the Higgs couplings but could change in the near future. Furthermore, if NLO corrections are required not to be unphysically large, no limits on the parameter space can be extracted from the NLO results.
