Triple Higgs Coupling as a Probe of the Twin-Peak Scenario

In this letter, we investigate the case of a twin peak around the observed 125 GeV scalar resonance, using di-Higgs production processes at both LHC and $e^{+}e^{-}$ Linear Colliders. We have shown that both at LHC and Linear Collider the triple Higgs couplings play an important role to identify this scenario; and also that this scenario can be distinguishable from any Standard Model extension by extra massive particles which might modify the triple Higgs coupling. We also introduce a criterion that can be used to ruled out the twin peak scenario.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, typos corrected, some results are modified & version published in PL

Higgs Phenomenology in the Two-Singlet Model

We study the phenomenology of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs sector extended by two singlet scalars. The model predicts two CP-even scalars $h_{1,2}$ which are a mixture of doublet and singlet components as well as a pure singlet scalar $S_{0}$ which is a dark matter candidate. We show that the model can satisfy the relic density and direct detection constraints as well as all the recent ATLAS and CMS measurements. We also discuss the effect of the extra Higgs bosons on the different Higgs triple couplings $h_{i}h_{j}h_{k}$, $i,j,k=1,2$. A particular attention is given to the triple self-coupling of the SM-like Higgs where we found that the one loop corrections can reach $150\%$ is some cases. We also discuss some production mechanisms for $h_{1}$ and $h_{2}$ at the LHC as well as at the future International Linear Collider. It is found that the production cross section of a pair of SM-like Higgs bosons could be much larger than the corresponding one in the SM and would reveal physics beyond the SM if observable. We also show that in this model the branching ratio of the SM-like Higgs decaying to two singlet scalars could be of the order of $20\%$, therefore the production of the SM Higgs followed by its decay to a pair of singlets would be an important source of production of singlet scalars.Comment: 27 pages, 8 figures, 2 tables, published versio
