Constraining type II 2HDM in light of LHC Higgs searches

LHC Higgs Boson searches

A summary of the Higgs boson searches by the ATLAS and CMS collabrations using 1 f b −1 of LHC data is presented, concentrating on the Standard Model Higgs boson. Both experiments have the sensitivity to exclude at 95% CL a Standard Model Higgs boson in most of the Higgs boson mass region between about 130 GeV and 400 GeV. The observed data allow the exclusion of a Higgs Boson of mass 155 GeV t...

2HDM Charged Higgs Boson Searches at the LHC: Status and Prospects

Light Higgs Searches at the Lhc Using Jet Substructure

One of the major goals of the LHC is to discover the Higgs boson, which is the only particle of the Standard Model (SM) that has not been seen yet at colliders. Even if we cannot predict its mass, SM precision electroweak fits seem to favour a low-mass Higgs,2 and LEP data excluded a mass below 114 GeV.3 That’s why we are going to focus on the search for a light Higgs boson at the LHC, assuming...

Standard Model Higgs Searches at the LHC

An overview of the searches for the Standard Model Higgs boson at the LHC is presented. The main Higgs production and decay modes that have been studied are introduced, and the analysis techniques and the recent developments done by the ATLAS and CMS experiments are described. Some preliminary results from current studies are included. The discovery potential within the first few years of physi...

Searches for the Higgs Boson at Lhc

The search strategy for the Standard Model Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider is reviewed, with a particular emphasis on its potential observation by the ATLAS and CMS detectors in the γγ, ττ, ZZ and WW ∗ final states. The combined Higgs discovery potential of ATLAS and CMS is discussed, as well as the expected exclusion limits on the production rate times the branching ratio as a functio...
