abstract

We combine searches for scalar resonances at the electroweak scale performed by the Large Hadron Collider experiments ATLAS and CMS where persisted excesses have been observed in recent years. Using both the side-bands of Standard Model Higgs analyses as well as dedicated beyond the Standard Model analyses, we find significant hints for new scalars at $\approx 95\,$GeV ($S^\prime$) and $\approx152\,$GeV ($S$). The presence of a $95\,$GeV scalar is preferred over the Standard Model hypothesis by $3.8\sigma$, while interpreting the $152\,$GeV excesses in a simplified model with resonant pair production of $S$ via a new heavier scalar $H(270)$, a global significance of $\approx5\sigma$ is obtained. While the production mechanism of the $S^\prime$ cannot yet be determined, data strongly favours the associated production of $S$, i.e. via the decay of a heavier boson $H$ ($pp\to H\to SS^*$). A possible alternative or complementary decay chain is $H\rightarrow SS^{\prime}$, where $S\to WW^*$ ($S^{\prime}$) would be the source of the leptons ($b$-quarks) necessary to explain the multi-lepton anomalies found in Large Hadron Collider data.

    Reinterpretation of ATLAS dileptonic ttbb data sets 1.9–2.9% limits on Br(t→H±b)×Br(H±→t*b) for mH±=110–165 GeV, competitive in top-philic and top-specific 2HDMs.

  2. Discovery Prospects for the 150 GeV charged scalar at Future $e^+e^-$ Colliders

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    At a 350 GeV electron-positron collider, a 150 GeV charged scalar in the real triplet Higgs model can be discovered with less than 1 fb^-1 and its mass measured to about 1 GeV at 500 fb^-1.

  3. Searching for Di-Higgs Signatures of Light Charged Scalars

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A roughly 130 GeV charged Higgs explaining the ATLAS t to bH+ excess and B-meson anomalies can be constrained, and perhaps discovered, by recasting SM di-Higgs 4b searches at the LHC.

    The CP-odd scalar A in the flavor-aligned CP-violating 2HDM can explain the diphoton excesses at 95 and 152 GeV only in tuned regions that survive the electron EDM bound and predict measurable neutron and proton EDMs.

    A projection study showing that HL-LHC tau-pair data could determine the CP mixing angle of a hypothetical 95 GeV resonance to within roughly 0.27 to 0.47 radians at 90% confidence.

    A parameter scan shows the triplet-extended MSSM has regions that fit the 95 GeV diphoton signal, the 125 GeV Higgs mass, and the dark matter relic density simultaneously.

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The Georgi-Machacek model keeps viable parameter space for the 95 GeV diphoton and bbbar excesses under positive definiteness constraints, which the paper finds expand the allowed region relative to tree-level bounded...

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Type-II and Type-Y two-Higgs-doublet models with a gauged U(1)_H symmetry can accommodate the 96 GeV diphoton, ditau, and bbbar excesses within 2 sigma, with the light scalar mostly a new singlet.

    In a 2HDM Type III, a 650 GeV CP-odd Higgs decaying via H(125)Z with H->γγ and Z->bb, plus a 95 GeV light Higgs, can accommodate both the CMS 650 GeV and the 95 GeV diphoton excesses at about 2.5 sigma.
