We conjecture that there exists a scalar bound state for every pair of fundamental fermions at a UV (`composite) scale, $Lambdagg v_{text{weak}}$. This implies a large number of universally coupled, sub-critical Higgs doublets. All but the Standard Model Higgs are `dormant, with large positive squared masses and each receives a small vacuum expectation values via mixing with the Standard Model Higgs. Universal couplings, modulo renormalization group running effects, flips the flavor problem into the masses and mixings of the Higgs system. Doublets associated with heavy fermion masses, $b,c, tau$ likely lie in the multi-TeV range, but may be observable at the current LHC, or a high-luminosity and/or an energy-upgraded LHC. In the lepton sector we are lead to a Higgs seesaw for neutrino masses, and corollary processes of observable flavor violation. The observation of the first sequential doublet coupled to $bar{b}b$ with masses $lesssim 3.5$ TeV would lend credence to the hypothesis.

The flavor democracy hypothesis was introduced in seventies taking in mind three Standard Model (SM) families. Later, this idea was disfavored by the large value of the t-quark mass. In nineties the hypothesis was revisited assuming that extra SM fam ilies exist. According to flavor democracy the fourth SM family should exist and there are serious arguments disfavoring the fifth SM family. The fourth SM family quarks lead to essential enhancement of the Higgs boson production cross-section at hadron colliders and the Tevatron can discover the Higgs boson before the LHC, if it mass is between 140 and 200 GeV. Then, one can handle massless Dirac neutrinos without see-saw mechanism. Concerning BSM physics, flavor democracy leads to several consequences: tan(beta) approx.eq. 40 if there are three MSSM families; super-partner of the right-handed neutrino can be the LSP; relatively light E(6)-inspired isosinglet quark etc. Finally, flavor democracy may give opportunity to handle massless composite objects within preonic models.
In recent years, hints for multi-lepton anomalies have been accumulated by the analysis of Large Hadron Collider (LHC) data, pointing towards the existence of beyond the Standard Model (SM) Higgs bosons: a new scalar particle $S$ with a mass $m_S$ in the range between $130,$GeV and $160,$GeV, produced from the decay of a heavier new scalar particle, $H$. Motivated by this observation, we perform a search for the signatures of $S$ within this mass region, which has been studied by CMS and ATLAS as a by-product of the SM Higgs searches in the side-bands of the kinematic regions. Combining the $gammagamma$ and $Zgamma$ channels, with associated leptons, di-jets, bottom quarks and missing energy, we obtain a local (global) significance of 5.1$sigma$ (4.8$sigma$) for a mass of $m_S= 151.5$,GeV and provide the preferred ranges for the corresponding (fiducial) cross sections. This is a strong indication for a scalar resonance $S$ decaying into photons, and, to a lesser extent to $Zgamma$, in association with missing energy, jets or leptons. Hints for the decays into, or production in association with, bottom quarks are statistically less significant. In order to test this hypothesis, we propose a search for $Hrightarrow gammagamma boverline{b},tau^+tau^- boverline{b}$ in asymmetric configurations that has not yet been performed by ATLAS and CMS.
The mass and coupling of the scalar tetraquark $T_{bb;overline{u}overline{d }}^{-}$ (hereafter $T_{b:overline{d}}^{-} $) are calculated in the context of the QCD two-point sum rule method. In computations we take into account effects of various quark , gluon and mixed condensates up to dimension ten. The result obtained for the mass of this state $m=(10135pm 240)~mathrm{MeV} $ demonstrates that it is stable against the strong and electromagnetic decays. We also explore the dominant semileptonic $T_{b:overline{d}}^{-} to widetilde{Z}_{bc;bar{u}bar{d}}^{0}loverline{ u }_{l}$ and nonleptonic decays $T_{b:overline{d}}^{-} to widetilde{Z}_{bc;bar{u}bar{ d}}^{0}M$, where $widetilde{Z}_{bc;bar{u}bar{d}}^{0}$ is the scalar tetraquark composed of color-sextet diquark and antidiquark, and $M$ is one of the final-state pseudoscalar mesons $pi^{-}, K^{-}, D^{-}$ and $D_s^{-}$ , respectively. The partial widths of these processes are calculated in terms of the weak form factors $G_{1(2)}(q^2)$, which are determined from the QCD three-point sum rules. Predictions for the mass, full width $Gamma _{mathrm{full}} =(10.88pm 1.88)times 10^{-10}~mathrm{MeV}$, and mean lifetime $tau=0.61_{-0.09}^{+0.13}~mathrm{ps}$ of the $T_{b:overline{d} }^{-}$ obtained in the present work can be used in theoretical and experimental studies of this exotic state.
The structure of the scalar mesons has been a subject of debate for many decades. In this work we look for $bar{q}q$ states among the physical resonances using an extended Linear Sigma Model that contains scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, and axial-vecto r mesons both in the non-strange and strange sectors. We perform global fits of meson masses, decay widths and amplitudes in order to ascertain whether the scalar $bar{q}q$ states are below or above 1 GeV. We find the scalar states above 1 GeV to be preferred as $bar{q}q$ states.
The spectroscopic parameters and decay channels of the scalar tetraquark $ T_{bb;overline{u}overline{s}}^{-}$ (in what follows $T_{b:overline{s} }^{-} $) are investigated. The mass and coupling of the $T_{b:s}^{-}$ are calculated using the two-point sum rules by taking into account quark, gluon and mixed vacuum condensates up to dimension 10. Our result for its mass $m=(10250 pm 270)~mathrm{MeV}$ demonstrates that $T_{b:overline{s}}^{-} $ is stable against the strong and electromagnetic decays. Therefore to find the width and mean lifetime of the $T_{b:overline{s}}^{-}$, we explore its dominant weak decays generated by the transition $b to W^{-}c$. These channels embrace the semileptonic decay $T_{b:overline{s}}^{-} to Z_{bc;overline{u}overline{s}}^{0}loverline{ u }_{l}$ and nonleptonic modes $T_{b:overline{s}}^{-} to Z_{bc;overline{ u}overline{s}}^{0}pi^{-}(K^{-}, D^{-}, D_s^{-})$, which at the final state contain the scalar tetraquark $Z_{bc;overline{u}overline{s}}^{0}$. Key quantities to compute partial widths of the weak decays are the form factors $G_1(q^2)$ and $G_2(q^2)$: they determine differential rate $dGamma/dq^2$ of the semileptonic and partial widths of the nonleptonic processes, respectively. These form factors are extracted from relevant three-point sum rules at momentum transfers $q^2$ accessible for such analysis. By means of the fit functions $F_{1(2)}(q^2)$ they are extrapolated to cover the whole integration region $m_l^{2}leq q2leq(m-widetilde m)^2$, where $widetilde m$ is the mass of $Z_{bc;overline{u}overline{s}}^{0}$. Predictions for the full width $Gamma _{mathrm{full}}=(15.21pm 2.59)times 10^{-10}~mathrm{ MeV}$ and mean lifetime $4.33_{-0.63}^{+0.89}times 10^{-13}~mathrm{s}$ of the $T_{b:s}^{-} $ are useful for experimental and theoretical investigations of this exotic meson.
