Abstract:
We review the techniques and results of the searches for the Higgs boson performed by the two Tevatron collaborations, CDF and DØ. The Higgs boson predicted by the Standard Model was sought in the mass range 90 GeV < mH < 200 GeV in all main production modes at the Tevatron: gluon–gluon fusion, WH and ZH associated production, vector boson fusion, and [Formula: see text] production, and in five main decay modes: [Formula: see text], H→τ+τ-, H→WW(*), H→ZZ(*) and H→γγ. An excess of events was seen in the [Formula: see text] searches consistent with a Standard Model Higgs boson with a mass in the range 115 GeV < mH < 135 GeV . Assuming a Higgs boson mass of mH = 125 GeV , studies of Higgs boson properties were performed, including measurements of the product of the cross section times the branching ratio in various production and decay modes, constraints on Higgs boson couplings to fermions and vector bosons, and tests of spin and parity. We also summarize the results of searches for supersymmetric Higgs bosons, and Higgs bosons in other extensions of the Standard Model.

Abstract:
Extended scalar sectors appear in various extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics, such as supersymmetric models. They are also generic extensions of the Standard Model and can address a number of its shortcomings. Direct searches for additional Higgs bosons and measurements of the 125-GeV Higgs boson, both of which provide insights into the different possible sectors, are carried out at the LHC. This review gives an overview of searches for the additional Higgs bosons and their implications for different models. The discussed analyses comprise searches for neutral and charged Higgs bosons that decay in various final states. In addition, the review summarizes the constraints from precision measurements, including in particular the observed couplings of the 125-GeV Higgs boson. While several models naturally incorporate a Higgs boson with couplings that are similar to the ones in the Standard Model, the measurements of the 125-GeV Higgs boson provide constraints on all considered extensions.

Abstract:
The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 provided confirmation of spontaneous electroweak symmetry breaking as the mechanism by which fundamental particles gain mass and thus completed the Standard Model of particle physics. Additionally, it opened a new approach to searching for potential new particles. Many beyond the Standard Model theories predict new heavy particles that couple to the Higgs boson, leading to a resonant production mode of Higgs boson pairs. Other theories extend the Higgs sector by introducing additional scalar bosons that differ from the observed Higgs boson only by mass. The ATLAS and CMS Collaborations have searched for evidence of such processes using s=13 TeV Run 2 proton-proton collision data at the Large Hadron Collider. This review article summarizes the latest experimental results from searches for resonant production of pairs of Higgs bosons or additional Higgs-like scalar bosons at ATLAS and CMS.

Abstract:
We review the effects of new effective interactions on Higgs-boson phenomenology. New physics in the electroweak bosonic sector is expected to induce additional interactions between the Higgs doublet field and the electroweak gauge bosons, leading to anomalous Higgs couplings as well as anomalous gauge-boson self-interactions. Using a linearly realized SU (2)L× U (1)Y invariant effective Lagrangian to describe the bosonic sector of the Standard Model, we review the effects of the new effective interactions on the Higgs-boson production rates and decay modes. We summarize the results from searches for the new Higgs signatures induced by the anomalous interactions in order to constrain the scale of new physics, in particular at CERN LEP and Fermilab Tevatron colliders.

The most recent results of a Higgs boson production and properties from the CMS Collaboration using the LHC Run 1 and Run 2 data are reported. These include analyses of a Higgs boson decaying to a pair of photons, four leptons via Z boson pair decays and the associated production of a Higgs boson with top quark pair, predicted by the Standard Model (SM). The studies of a Higgs boson decays to a pair of bottom quarks, a pair of tau leptons and a charm quark pair are also presented. The Higgs boson production via vector boson fusion (VBF) and decaying to invisible particles is reported here as well. The analysis of a Higgs boson decay to a pair of muons is also presented. The study of a Higgs boson pair production at 13 TeV is performed as well and projections of a Higgs boson self couplings together with the couplings to other particles at the HL-LHC are made.

Abstract:
A brief overview of Higgs physics and of supersymmetry is given. The central theme of the overview is to explore the implications of the recent discovery of a Higgs-like particle regarding the prospects for the discovery of supersymmetry assuming that it is indeed the spin-0 CP even boson that enters in the spontaneous breaking of the electroweak symmetry. The high mass of the Higgs-like boson at ~125 GeV points to the weak scale of supersymmetry that enters in the loop correction to the Higgs boson mass, to be relatively high, i.e. in the TeV region. However, since more than one independent mass scales enter in softly broken supersymmetry, the allowed parameter space of supersymmetric models can allow a small Higgs mixing parameter μ and light gaugino masses consistent with a ~125 GeV Higgs boson mass. Additionally some light third generation sfermions, i.e. the stop and the stau are also permissible. Profile likelihood analysis of a class of SUGRA models indicates that mA>300 GeV which implies one is in the decoupling phase and the Higgs couplings are close to the standard model in this limit. Thus a sensitive measurement of the Higgs couplings with fermions and with the vector bosons is needed to detect beyond the standard model effects. Other topics discussed include dark matter, proton stability, and the Stueckelberg extended models as probes of new physics. A brief discussion of the way forward in the post Higgs discovery era is given.

Abstract:
After the Higgs boson discovery in 2012, the investigation of its properties and compatibility with the Standard Model predictions is central to the physics program of the LHC experiments. Likewise, the study of the top quark is still relevant at the LHC, more than two decades after its discovery at the Tevatron. Top quarks and Higgs bosons are produced at the LHC on a large scale and share a deep connection based on the large mass of the top quark. Both particles provide an excellent laboratory in which to search for new physics: the measurement of their properties tests the foundations of the Standard Model; and they feature prominently in a variety of exotic signals. The coupling of the Higgs boson to the top quark, a fundamental Standard Model parameter, can only be measured directly in processes where the two particles are produced together. The production of a Higgs boson together with one or two top quarks is also sensitive to several exciting new physics effects. A brief overview of the current experimental status of top quark and Higgs boson physics is presented using results from the CMS Collaboration.

Abstract:
The investigation of the dynamics responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking is one of the prime tasks of experiments at present and future colliders. Experiments at the Tevatron [Formula: see text] Collider and at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) must be able to discover a Standard Model Higgs boson over the full mass range as well as Higgs bosons in extended models. In this review, the discovery potential for the Standard Model Higgs boson and for Higgs bosons in the Minimal Supersymmetric extension is summarized. Emphasis is put on those studies which have been performed recently within the experimental collaborations using a realistic simulation of the detector performance. This includes a discussion of the search for Higgs bosons using the vector boson fusion mode at the LHC, a discussion of the measurement of Higgs boson parameters as well as a detailed review of the MSSM sector for different benchmark scenarios. The Tevatron part of the review also contains a discussion of first physics results from data taken in the ongoing Run II.

Abstract:
Charged Higgs boson is a crucial prediction of new physics beyond the SM. In this work, we perform a comprehensive scan over the parameter space of NMSSM considering various experimental constraints including the direct search limits from the 13 TeV LHC, and consider the scenario that the next-to-lightest CP-even Higgs boson is SM-like. We find that the masses of charged Higgs bosons can be as light as 350 GeV, the lightest CP-even Higgs boson [Formula: see text] is predominantly singlet and can be as light as 48 GeV, and the lightest CP-odd Higgs boson [Formula: see text] is also singlet-dominated and can be as light as 82 GeV. The charged Higgs bosons mainly decay to [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text], but the branching ratio of the exotic decays [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] can maximally reach 20% and 11%, respectively, which can be used to distinguish the NMSSM from MSSM. Such a heavy charged Higgs boson is inaccessible at the 13 TeV LHC with a luminosity of 36.1 fb[Formula: see text] and its detection needs higher energy and/or higher luminosity.

Abstract:
On the 4th of July 2012, the discovery of a new scalar particle with a mass of order 125 GeV was announced by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations. An important era is now opening: the precise determination of the properties of the produced particle. This is of extreme importance in order to establish that this particle is indeed the relic of the mechanism responsible for the electroweak symmetry breaking and to pin down effects of new physics if additional ingredients beyond those of the Standard Model are involved in the symmetry breaking mechanism. In this thesis we have tried to understand and characterize to which extent this new scalar field is the Standard Model Higgs Boson and set the implications of this discovery in the context of Supersymmetric theories and dark matter models.In a first part devoted to the Standard Model of particle physics, we discuss the Higgs pair production processes at the LHC and the main output of our results is that they al-low for the determination of the trilinear Higgs self-coupling which represents a first important step towards the reconstruction of the Higgs potential and thus the final verifica-tion of the Higgs mechanism as the origin of electroweak symmetry breaking.The second part is about Supersymmetric theories. After a review of the topics one of our result is to set strong restrictions on Supersymmetric models after the Higgs discov-ery. We also introduce a new approach which would allow experimentalists to efficiently look for supersymmetric heavy Higgs bosons at current and next LHC runs.The third part concerns dark matter. We present results which give strong constraints on Higgs-portal models. We finally discuss alternative non-thermal dark matter scenario. Firstly, we demonstrate that there exists a tight link between the reheating temperature and the scheme of the Standard Model gauge group breaking and secondly we study the genesis of dark matter by a Z' portal.

In this thesis, we search for the production of the Standard Model Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider, through its decay mode to two W bosons, which each in turn decay into a charged lepton and a neutrino. The Higgs boson is the only elementary particle predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics which has not yet been experimentally observed. The question of its existence has been the subject of a wide body of experimental and theoretical work for the past half-century. Using 4.9 fb-1 of integrated luminosity, this search is expected, on average, to exclude the Standard Model predicted Higgs boson production cross section for masses between 126 GeV/c 2 and 260 GeV/c 2 under the background-only hypothesis. We observe no statistically significant excesses in the data, and we exclude the Standard Model Higgs boson production for masses between 129 GeV/c 2 and 260 GeV/c 2 . This result represents a significant reduction of the mass region in which the Standard Model Higgs boson is allowed to exist.

We perform an exclusive search for the Higgs boson to gamma-gamma decay via vector boson fusion. We utilize the characteristic features of vector boson fusion, such as the di-jet [Delta][eta] and mass, as well as the di-photon [rho][tao], to search for the Higgs boson to gamma-gamma decay via the vector boson fusion process. The theoretical production cross section limit is analyzed over the accepted possible mass range for the Higgs boson, 120-130 GeV/c 2 . We are able to reduce the theoretical production cross section limit to ~ 6[sigma]SM in this range by using a boosted decision tree. Comparison to the cut based approach used by the CMS Collaboration shows no improvement in using a BDT as opposed to a cut based approach.

Abstract:
L’étude des propriétés du boson de Higgs représente une excellente opportunité pour la recherche de Nouvelle Physique. En particulier, sa masse est mesurée avec une précision impressionnante, de l’ordre de 0.1%, tandis qu’elle est aussi prédite par certains modèles au-delà du Modèle Standard, notamment les modèles supersymétriques. Le but de cette thèse est de faire avancer le calcul des corrections radiatives aux masses des scalaires dans les modèles au-delà du Modèle Standard, ainsi que l’automatisation de ces calculs, afin d’établir ou d’améliorer les limites sur les couplages entre la Nouvelle Physique et le boson de Higgs. Nous calculons d’abord les corrections dominantes à deux boucles, de la forme O(alpha_s alpha_t), aux masses des scalaires neutres dans les modèles supersymétriques à jauginos de Dirac. Ensuite, nous montrons comment surmonter la Catastrophe des Bosons de Goldstone, un cas de divergences infrarouges dues aux bosons de Goldstones de masses nulles qui affecte les calculs de potentiels effectifs, d’équations « tadpoles » et d’énergies propres, en adoptant un schéma de renormalisation « on-shell » pour les masses des bosons de Goldstone. Nous illustrons la mise en œuvre numérique de notre solution dans le programme SARAH, et finalement, nous considérons le comportement aux hautes énergies de modèles non-supersymétriques avec des secteurs scalaires étendus
The Standard Model-like Higgs boson provides an excellent setting for the indirect search of New Physics, through the study of its properties. In particular its mass is now measured with an astonishing precision, of the order of 0.1%, while being predicted in some models of Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) Physics, such as supersymmetric (SUSY) models. The main purpose of this thesis is to push further the calculation of radiative corrections to Higgs boson masses in BSM models, as well as the automation of these calculations, in order to set or improve constraints on New Physics coupling to the Higgs boson. A first chapter is devoted to the computation of the leading two-loop O (alpha_s alpha_t) corrections to neutral scalar masses in SUSY models with Dirac gauginos. Then, we show to address the Goldstone Boson Catastrophe -- a case of infra-red divergences due to massless Goldstone bosons that plague the calculation of effective potentials, tadpole equations, and self-energies -- in the context of general renormalisable field theories, by adopting an on-shell renormalisation scheme for the Goldstone masses. Afterwards, we illustrate the numerical implementation of our solution to the Goldstone Boson Catastrophe in the public tool SARAH. Finally, in a last chapter, we consider the high-scale behaviour of non-supersymmetric models with extended Higgs sectors

Measurements of Higgs boson production and decay rates are presented using the proton-proton collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment during LHC Run I, corresponding to 4.5 fb\(^-\)\(^1\) at 7 TeV and 20.3 fb\(^-\)\(^1\) at 8 TeV. Under certain assumptions, the coupling strengths of the Higgs boson to Standard Model particles are also probed. The H -> ZZ\(^(\)\(^*\)\(^)\)\(_-\)\(_>\) 4I final state, where I = e, mu, is discussed, and is observed with a significance corresponding to 8.1 standard deviations. The Higgs boson production rate, relative to the Standard Model prediction, is measured to be mu = 1.44\(^+\)\(^0\)\(^.\)\(^4\)\(^0\)\(_-\)\(_0\)\(_.\)\(_3\)\(_3\) at the ATLAS best-fit value for the measurement of the Higgs boson mass, m\(_H\) = 125.36 GeV. The various Higgs boson production and decay modes studied by the ATLAS experiment are also combined. The couplings of the Higgs boson are probed in a number of benchmark models, where a good agreement with the Standard Model prediction is observed for each model considered. The Higgs boson coupling measurements are also used to place constraints on a number of beyond the Standard Model theories, and are combined with direct searches for invisible Higgs boson decays to place a limit on the Higgs boson branching ratio to invisible final states.

Abstract:
MadGraph5 is used to generate events with Higgs boson pairs from vector boson fusion (VBF) at leading-order (LO) and next-to-leading-order (NLO) accuracy in QCD. The simulations are used to compute fiducial cross-sections in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, using several kinematic cuts on the outgoing jets, e.g. the jet transverse momenta and pseudorapidity. The resulting cross-sections for NLO and LO are compared and their ratio,  the K-factor, is calculated for every kinematic cut. An attempt is made to extend the NLO simulation for non-Standard Model (SM) couplings between two vector bosons and two Higgs bosons (VVHH), however the corresponding model was found to be only compatible with LO accuracy in QCD.

In this thesis we study possible deviations from the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism as predicted by the Standard Model (SM), and we introduce a new framework to analyze hadronic final states at colliders. In the first part, we begin by considering supersymmetric extensions of the SM and by studying the connection between electroweak symmetry breaking and supersymmetry breaking. Contrary to the common lore, we show that a visible dynamics in the Higgs sector can contribute to supersymmetry breaking, as long as soft masses receive contributions also from one or more hidden sectors. A striking feature is the presence of a light pseudo-goldstino in the spectrum. We study potential collider signatures of visible supersymmetry breaking in Higgs and neutralino decays. Then, we move to a study of the Higgs data collected at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). By using both measurements of the Higgs boson couplings, and limits on Higgs-like states at higher masses, we investigate whether the data support the possibility that the SM Higgs is mixed with another scalar. We consider fits to simplified models and we find that mixing angles with sin 2 6 > 0.2 are disfavored at 95% CL over a scalar mass range 200 - 1000 GeV. In the second part, we propose a new way to define inclusive jet (and subject) based observables at colliders. We introduce a new class of event shapes that characterize the jet-like structure of the event by using only information in the neighborhood of each particle. We show that conventional jet-based observables such as jet multiplicity, summed scalar transverse momentum, and missing transverse momentum can be recovered within this approach. We show that in this framework trimming can be recast as a particle weight assignment, without explicit jet identification. Finally, we comment on potential applications of the method both at trigger and analysis level.

AbstractIn July 2012 the ATLAS and CMS experiments announced the discovery of a Higgs boson, confirming the conjecture put forward in the 1960’s. This article briefly traces the history of the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism, its impact on the elucidation of the standard model, the design and construction of the ATLAS and CMS experiments, and finally the discovery of the Higgs boson. The article outlines some of the challenges faced during the construction of the Large Hadron Collider and its experiments, and their operation and performance. In particular, recent results relating to the properties and couplings of the Higgs boson will be discussed as well future prospects at the LHC.
