Higgs boson production in association with a photon ($H$+$gamma$) offers a promising channel to test the Higgs boson to photon coupling at various energy scales. Its potential sensitivity to anomalous couplings of the Higgs boson has not been explored with the proton-proton collision data. In this paper, we reinterpret the latest ATLAS $H$+$gamma$ resonance search results within the Standard Model effective field theory (EFT) framework, using 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data recorded with the ATLAS detector at $sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. Constraints on the Wilson coefficients of dimension-six EFT operators related to the Higgs boson to photon coupling are provided for the first time in the $H$+$gamma$ final state at the LHC.

We study the effects of top-Higgs anomalous coupling in the production of a pair of Higgs boson via gluon fusion at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The introduction of anomalous $ttH$ coupling can alter the hadronic double Higgs boson cross section and can lead to characteristic changes in certain kinematic distributions. We perform a global analysis based on available LHC data on the Higgs to constrain the parameters of $ttH$ anomalous coupling. Possible overlap of the predictions due to anomalous $ttH$ coupling with those due to anomalous trilinear Higgs coupling is also studied. We briefly discuss the effect of the anomalous $ttH$ coupling on the $HZ$ production via gluon fusion which is one of the main backgrounds in the $HH to gammagamma b {bar b}$ channel.
We analyzed the double production and the triple self-coupling of the standard model Higgs boson at future $gamma gamma$ collider energies, with the reactions $gammagamma rightarrow f bar f HH$ $(f=b, t)$. We evaluated the total cross section for $fb ar fHH$ and calculated the total number of events considering the complete set of Feynman diagrams at tree-level and for different values of the triple coupling $kappalambda_{HHH}$. We have also analyzed the sensitivity for the considered reaction and we show the results as 95% C.L. regions in the $kappa-M_H$ plane for different values of the center of mass energy and different levels of background. The numerical computation was done for the energies which are expected to be available at a possible Future Linear $gammagamma$ Collider with a center-of-mass energy 500-3000 $GeV$ and luminosities of 1 and $5 ab^{-1}$. We found that the number of events for the process $gammagamma rightarrow t bar t HH$, taking into account the decay products of both $t$ and $H$, is small but enough to obtain information on the triple Higgs boson self-coupling in a independent way, complementing other studies on the triple vertex.
The new lightest gauge boson $B_H$ with mass of a few hundred GeV is predicted in the littlest Higgs model. $B_H$ should be accessible in the planed ILC and the observation of such particle can strongly support the littlest Higgs model. The realizati on of $gammagamma$ and $egamma$ collision will open a wider window to probe $B_H$. In this paper, we study the new gauge boson $B_{H}$ production processes $e^{-}gammato e^{-}gamma B_{H}$ and $e^{-}gammato e^{-}Z B_{H}$ at the ILC. Our results show that the production cross section of the process $e^{-}gammato e^{-}Z B_{H}$ is less than one fb in the most parameter spaces while the production cross section of the process $e^{-}gammato e^{-}gamma B_{H}$ can reach the level of tens fb and even hundreds of fb in the sizable parameter spaces allowed by the electroweak precision data. With the high luminosity, the sufficient typical signals could be produced, specially via $e^{-}gammato e^{-}gamma B_{H}$. Because the final electron and photon beams can be easily identified and the signal can be easily distinguished from the background produced by $Z$ and $H$ decaying, $B_H$ should be detectable via $egamma$ collision at the ILC. Therefore, the processes $e^{-}gammato e^{-}gamma B_{H}$ and $e^{-}gammato e^{-}Z B_{H}$ provide a useful way to detect $B_{H}$ and test the littlest Higgs model.
The recently announced Higgs discovery marks the dawn of the direct probing of the electroweak symmetry breaking sector. Sorting out the dynamics responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking now requires probing the Higgs interactions and searching for additional states connected to this sector. In this work we analyze the constraints on Higgs couplings to the standard model gauge bosons using the available data from Tevatron and LHC. We work in a model--independent framework expressing the departure of the Higgs couplings to gauge bosons by dimension--six operators. This allows for independent modifications of its couplings to gluons, photons and weak gauge bosons while still preserving the Standard Model (SM) gauge invariance. Our results indicate that best overall agreement with data is obtained if the cross section of Higgs production via gluon fusion is suppressed with respect to its SM value and the Higgs branching ratio into two photons is enhanced, while keeping the production and decays associated to couplings to weak gauge bosons close to their SM prediction.
In this work we explore the sensitivity to the Higgs self-coupling $lambda$ in the production of two Higgs bosons via vector boson scattering at the LHC. Although these production channels, concretely $W^+W^- to HH$ and $ ZZ to HH$, have lower rates than gluon-gluon fusion, they benefit from being tree level processes, being independent of top physics and having very distinctive kinematics that allow to obtain very clean experimental signatures. This makes them competitive channels concerning the sensitivity to the Higgs self-coupling. In order to give predictions for the sensitivity to this coupling, we first study the role of $lambda$ at the subprocess level, both in and beyond the Standard Model, to move afterwards to the LHC scenario. We characterize the $ppto HHjj$ case first and then provide quantitative results for the values of $lambda$ that can be probed at the LHC in vector boson scattering processes after considering the Higgs boson decays. We focus mainly in $ppto bbar{b}bbar{b}jj$, since it has the largest signal rates, and also comment on the potential of other channels, such as $ppto bbar{b}gammagamma jj$, as they lead to cleaner, although smaller, signals. Our whole study is performed for a center of mass energy of $sqrt{s}=14$ TeV and for various future expected LHC luminosities.
