The available data on the 125 GeV scalar $h$ is analysed to explore the room for new physics in the electroweak symmetry breaking sector. The first part of the study is model-independent, with $h$ couplings to standard model particles scaled by quantities that are taken to be free parameters. At the same time, the additional loop contributions to $h rightarrow gammagamma$ and $h rightarrow Zgamma$, mediated by charged scalar contributions in the extended scalar sector, are treated in terms of gauge-invariant effective operators. Having justified this approach for cases where the concerned scalar masses are a little above the $Z$-boson mass, we fit the existing data to obtain marginalized 1$sigma$ and 2$sigma$ regions in the space of the coefficients of such effective operators, where the limit on the $h rightarrow Zgamma$ branching ratio is used as a constraint. The correlation between, say, the gluon fusion and vector-boson fusion channels, as reflected in a non-diagonal covariance matrix, is taken into account. After thus obtaining model-independent fits, the allowed values of the coefficients are translated into permissible regions of the parameter spaces of several specific models. In this spirit we constrain four different types of two Higgs doublet models, and also models with one or two $Y = 2$ scalar triplets, taking into account the correlatedness of the scale factors in $h$-interactions and the various couplings of charged Higgs states in each extended scenario.

After the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, particle physics has entered an exciting era. An important question is whether the Standard Model of particle physics correctly describes the scalar sector realized by nature, or whether it is part of a more extended model, featuring additional particle content. A prime way to test this is to probe models with extended scalar sectors at future collider facilities. We here discuss such models in the context of high-luminosity LHC, a possible proton-proton collider with 27 and 100 TeV center-of-mass energy, as well as future lepton colliders with various center-of-mass energies.
After the discovery of a particle that complies with the properties of the Higgs boson predicted by the Standard Model, particle physics has entered an exciting era. One important question is whether the scalar sector realized by Nature indeed corresponds to the one predicted by the SM, or whether the resonance at 125 GeV is a manifestation of a more extended scalar sector, and additional scalar states could be observed at current or future collider facilities.
In this note we expand on our previous study of the implications of LEP1 results for future colliders. We extend the effective operator-based analysis of De Rujula et al. to a larger symmetry group, and show at which cost their expectations can be relaxed. Of particular interest to experiment is a rephrasing of our previous results in terms of the Renard et al. parametrization for the gauge boson self-couplings (slightly extended to include $delta g_{gamma}$). We suggest the use of a ($delta g_{gamma}$, $delta g_{Z}$) plot to confront the expectations of various models.
In this work, I briefly report on constraints that can be obtained on new physics models that extend the scalar sector of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics at the LHC. I concentrate on a few simple examples which serve to demonstrate advantages as well as possible drawbacks of current experimental searches, and comment on the discovery prospects of such models at future colliders.
We give a brief overview of beyond the Standard Model (BSM) theories with an extended scalar sector and their phenomenological status in the light of recent experimental results. We discuss the relevant theoretical and experimental constraints, and show their impact on the allowed parameter space of two specific models: the real scalar singlet extension of the Standard Model (SM) and the Inert Doublet Model. We emphasize the importance of the LHC measurements, both the direct searches for additional scalar bosons, as well as the precise measurements of properties of the Higgs boson of mass 125 GeV. We show the complementarity of these measurements to electroweak and dark matter observables.
