abstract

We investigate the LHC phenomenology of a model where the Standard Model (SM) scalar sector is extended by two real scalar singlets. A $\mathbb{Z}_2\otimes\mathbb{Z}_2'$ discrete symmetry is imposed to reduce the number of scalar potential parameters, which is spontaneously broken by the vacuum expectation values of the singlet fields. As a result, all three neutral scalar fields mix, leading to three neutral CP-even scalar bosons, out of which one is identified with the observed Higgs boson at 125 GeV. We explore all relevant collider signatures of the three scalars in this model. Besides the single production of a scalar boson decaying directly to SM particle final states, we extensively discuss the possibility of resonant multi-scalar production. The latter includes decays of the produced scalar boson to two identical scalars ("symmetric decays"), as well as to two different scalars ("asymmetric decays"). Furthermore, we discuss the possibility of successive decays to the lightest scalar states ("cascade decays"), which lead to experimentally spectacular three- and four-Higgs final states. We provide six benchmark scenarios for detailed experimental studies of these Higgs-to-Higgs decay signatures.

    hep-ex 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    No excess over background is found in ATLAS's first search for X→SH→4b, which sets 95% CL upper limits of 0.7 fb–2.6 pb on the production cross-section times branching ratio.

    hep-ex 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    With 140 inverse femtobarns of 13 TeV LHC data, ATLAS finds no excess of Higgs decays to new scalars producing four or six bottom quarks, and sets 95% CL upper limits from 4% to 38% on the branching fractions.

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A dedicated boosted-jet category in HH→bbγγ is projected to narrow the κ2V constraint to [-0.4, 2.6] at 95% CL and improve heavy-resonance limits by 1–2x at 308 fb⁻¹.

    hep-ex 2025-11 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    A hybrid quantum-classical classifier on simulated HH→bbγγ events claims 95% CL limits of 1.9–2.1×SM, but the gain over XGBoost is 21–29%, not the advertised factor of two.

  7. Interference effects in new physics searches

    hep-ph 2026-01 accept novelty 3.0 of 10

    Interference between new-physics resonances and Standard Model backgrounds must be included in collider searches; the review shows it can distort, enhance, or even cancel expected signals.
