The discovery of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson at the LHC completed the theory of electroweak and strong interactions. To determine the Higgs bosons intrinsic properties, more measurements on its various decay channels are still necessary. In this paper, we investigate $Hto ellbar{ell}Z$ and $Hto u_ellbar{ u}_ell Z$ (with $ell=e$, $mu$, $tau$) processes at the next-to-leading order electroweak accuracy. The total decay widths, and the differential decay rates with respect to various kinematic variables are obtained. For a typical choice of cut on the invariant mass of lepton pair, we find the branching ratios $mathcal{B}(Hto ellbar{ell}Z)=7.5times 10^{-4}$ (with $ell=e, mu$), $mathcal{B}(Hto tau^-tau^+ Z)=7.3times 10^{-4}$, and $mathcal{B}(Hto u_ellbar{ u}_ell Z)=1.5times 10^{-3}$ (with $ell=e, mu, tau$), which are attainable in the LHC experiments.

The Higgs-boson decay h -> gamma l+ l- for various lepton states l = (e, mu, tau) is analyzed. The differential decay width and forward-backward asymmetry are calculated as functions of the dilepton invariant mass in a model where the Higgs boson int
eracts with leptons and quarks via a mixture of scalar and pseudoscalar couplings. These couplings are partly constrained from data on the decays to leptons, h -> l+ l-, and quarks h -> q bar{q} (where q = (c, b)), while the Higgs couplings to the top quark are chosen from the two-photon and two-gluon decay rates. Nonzero values of the forward-backward asymmetry will manifest effects of new physics in the Higgs sector. The decay width and asymmetry integrated over the dilepton invariant mass are also presented.
The production of lepton pairs in the Higgs boson decay $h to ell^+ ell^- gamma$ is studied. The emphasis is put on the structure of the Higgs boson interaction with the fermions. This interaction is chosen as a mixture of the scalar and pseudo-scala
r couplings, and, in addition, it is supposed to be non-Hermitian. We study prediction of this model for the observables in the $h to ell^+ ell^- gamma$ decay for the $e^+ e^-$, $mu^+ mu^-$ and $tau^+ tau^-$ pairs. The differential decay width and lepton forward-backward asymmetry are calculated as functions of the dilepton invariant mass for several sets of $h f bar{f}$ coupling constants. The influence of non-Hermitian $h f bar{f}$ interaction on the forward-backward asymmetry is studied, and large influence of a possible non-Hermiticity of the Higgs interaction with the top quarks on forward-backward asymmetry for $e^+ e^-$ and $mu^+ mu^-$ pairs is stressed.
We consider soft gluon emission corrections to the production of a top-antitop pair in association with a Higgs boson at hadron colliders. In particular, we present a soft-gluon resummation formula for this production process and gather all elements
needed to evaluate it at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic order. We employ these results to obtain approximate next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) formulas, and implement them in a bespoke parton-level Monte Carlo program which can be used to calculate the total cross section along with arbitrary differential distributions. We use this tool to study the phenomenological impact of the approximate NNLO corrections, finding that they increase the total cross section and the differential distributions which we evaluated in this work.
We study Higgs boson pair production processes at future hadron and lepton colliders including the photon collision option in several new physics models; i.e., the two-Higgs-doublet model, the scalar leptoquark model, the sequential fourth generation
fermion model and the vector-like quark model. Cross sections for these processes can deviate significantly from the standard model predictions due to the one-loop correction to the triple Higgs boson coupling constant. For the one-loop induced processes such as $gg to hh$ and $gammagammato hh$, where $h$ is the (lightest) Higgs boson and $g$ and $gamma$ respectively represent a gluon and a photon, the cross sections can also be affected by new physics particles via additional one-loop diagrams. In the two-Higgs-doublet model and scalar leptoquark models, cross sections of $e^+e^-to hhZ$ and $gammagammato hh$ can be enhanced due to the non-decoupling effect in the one-loop corrections to the triple Higgs boson coupling constant. In the sequential fourth generation fermion model, the cross section for $ggto hh$ becomes very large because of the loop effect of the fermions. In the vector-like quark model, effects are small because the theory has decoupling property. Measurements of the Higgs boson pair production processes can be useful to explore new physics through the determination of the Higgs potential.
Heavy neutral Higgs boson production and decay into neutralino and chargino pairs is studied at the Large Hadron Collider in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Higgs boson decays into the heavier neutralino and chargino states,
i.e., H^0 or A^0 to tilde{chi}_i^0 tilde{chi}_j^0 (i,j = 2,3,4) as well as H^0 or A^0 to tilde{chi}_1^{pm} tilde{chi}_2^{mp}, tilde{chi}_2^+ tilde{chi}_2^- (all leading to four-lepton plus missing transverse energy final states), is found to improve the possibilities of discovering such Higgs states beyond those previously identified by considering H^0 or A^0 to tilde{chi}_2^0 tilde{chi}_2^0 decays only. In particular, H^0,A^0 bosons with quite heavy masses, approaching ~800 GeV in the so-called `decoupling region where no clear SM signatures for the heavier MSSM Higgs bosons are known to exist, can now be discerned, for suitable but not particularly restrictive configurations of the low energy supersymmetric parameters. The high M_A discovery reach for the H^0 and A^0 may thus be greatly extended. Full event-generator level simulations, including realistic detector effects and analyses of all significant backgrounds, are performed to delineate the potential H^0,A^0 discovery regions. The wedgebox plot technique is also utilized to further analyze the 4l plus missing transverse energy signal and background events. This study marks the first thorough and reasonably complete analysis of this important class of MSSM Higgs boson signature modes. In fact, this is the first time discovery regions including all possible neutralino and chargino decay modes of the Higgs bosons have ever been mapped out.
