We first build a minimal model of vector-like quarks where the dominant Higgs boson production process at LHC -- the gluon fusion -- can be significantly suppressed, being motivated by the recent stringent constraints from the search for direct Higgs production over a wide Higgs mass range. Within this model, compatible with the present experimental constraints on direct Higgs searches, we demonstrate that the Higgs ($h$) production via a heavy vector-like top-partner ($t_2$) decay, $pp to t_2 bar t_2$, $t_2to t h$, allows to discover a Higgs boson at the LHC and measure its mass, through the decay channels $hto gammagamma$ or $hto ZZ$. We also comment on the recent hint in LHC data from a possible $sim 125$ GeV Higgs scalar, in the presence of heavy vector-like top quarks.

In our work: 0903.2612, we calculate the production rate of single top-Higgs boson in the TC2 model which is a modified version of the original top-technicolor model. The similar process was discussed in arXiv:hep-ph/9905347v2. The TC2 model, as we d
iscussed in the introduction part remedies some shortcomings and loophole of the old version. The top-Higgs in the TC2 model is a mixture of the top-Higgs of the toptechnicolor model and that of the ETC model, thus a parameter $epsilon$ is introduced to denote the mixture. Moreover, we vary the mass range of the top-Higgs within 300 to 800 GeV while in arXiv:hep-ph/9905347v2, the mass range was taken as 200 to 400 GeV. In the work, our numerical results show that the production rate of single top-Higgs in the TC2 model is very close to that in the toptecnicolor model within the mass range of 200 to 400 GeV. This manifests that change from the original toptechnicolor model to the new TC2 version does not much affect the production rate of the top-Higgs even though the two top-Higgs in the two models are different. Beyond the 400 GeV, even the TC2 model predicts a negligible production rate at LHC. Since the phenomenological change is indeed not obvious, there is not much new to report. Even though the two models are somehow different, we believe that the result is not worth publishing. Therefore we decide to withdraw our manuscript.
In this paper, we present results at next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD for photon pair production in association with two jets via vector boson scattering within the Standard Model (SM), and also in an effective field theory framework with anomalous ga
uge coupling effects via bosonic dimension-6 and 8 operators. We observe that, compared to other processes in the class of two electroweak (EW) vector boson production in association with two jets, more exclusive cuts are needed in order to suppress the SM QCD-induced background channel. As expected, the NLO QCD corrections reduce the scale uncertainties considerably. Using a well-motivated dynamical scale choice, we find moderate $K$-factors for the EW-induced process while the QCD-induced channel receives much larger corrections. Furthermore, we observe that applying a cut of $Delta phi_{j_2 gamma_1}^{text{cut}} < 2.5$ for the second hardest jet and the hardest photon helps to increase the signal significance and reduces the impact of higher-order QCD corrections.
Vector-like quarks (VLQs) that are partners of the heavy top and bottom quarks are predicted in many extensions of the Standard Model (SM). We explore the possibility that these states could explain not only the longstanding anomaly in the forward-ba
ckward asymmetry in $b$-quark production at LEP, $A_{rm FB}^b $, but also the more recent $sim 2sigma$ deviation of the cross section for the associated Higgs production with top quark pairs at the LHC, $sigma(ppto tbar t H)$. Introducing three illustrative models for VLQs with different representations under the SM gauge group, we show that the two anomalies can be resolved while satisfying all other theoretical and experimental constraints. In this case, the three different models predict VLQ states in the $1-2$ TeV mass range that can be soon probed at the LHC. In a second step, we discuss the sensitivity on the VLQ masses and couplings that could be obtained by means of a percent level accuracy in the measurement of ratios of partial Higgs decay widths, in particular $Gamma(H ! to! gammagamma)/Gamma(H ! to! ZZ^*)$ and $Gamma(H ! to ! bbar b)/Gamma(H ! to ! WW^*)$. We show that top and bottom VL partners with masses up to $sim 5$ TeV and exotic VLQs with masses in the $10$ TeV range can be probed at the high-luminosity LHC.
The production of pairs of Higgs bosons at hadron colliders provides unique information on the Higgs sector and on the mechanism underlying electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB). Most studies have concentrated on the gluon fusion production mode which
has the largest cross section. However, despite its small production rate, the vector-boson fusion channel can also be relevant since even small modifications of the Higgs couplings to vector bosons induce a striking increase of the cross section as a function of the invariant mass of the Higgs boson pair. In this work, we exploit this unique signature to propose a strategy to extract the $hhVV$ quartic coupling and provide model-independent constraints on theories where EWSB is driven by new strong interactions. We take advantage of the higher signal yield of the $bbar b bbar b$ final state and make extensive use of jet substructure techniques to reconstruct signal events with a boosted topology, characteristic of large partonic energies, where each Higgs boson decays to a single collimated jet . Our results demonstrate that the $hhVV$ coupling can be measured with 45% (20%) precision at the LHC for $mathcal{L}=$ 300 (3000) fb$^{-1}$, while a 1% precision can be achieved at a 100 TeV collider.
The implementation of the full next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to electroweak Higgs boson plus three jet production at hadron colliders such as the LHC within the Matchbox NLO framework of the Herwig++ event generator is discussed. We pre
sent numerical results for integrated cross sections and kinematic distributions.
