In these three lectures I review the need to go beyond the Standard Glashow-Weinberg-Salam Model and discuss some of the approaches that are explored in this direction.

If the electroweak symmetry breaking is originated from a strongly coupled sector, as for instance in composite Higgs models, the Higgs boson couplings can deviate from their Standard Model values. In such cases, at ...

We study a supersymmetric scenario with a quasi exact R-symmetry in light of the discovery of a Higgs resonance with a mass of 125 GeV. In such a framework, the additional adjoint superfields, needed to give Dirac masses ...

We perform an analysis of the electroweak precision observables in the Lee-Wick Standard Model. The most stringent restrictions come from the S and T parameters that receive important tree level and one loop contributions. ...

We study the effects of new physics in double Higgs production at future e + e − colliders. In the Standard Model the chiral limit (m e = 0) plays an important role for this process, being responsible for the smallness of ...

We consider the Higgs Lepton Flavor Violating process h -> tau mu, in which CMS found a 2.5 sigma excess of events, from a model independent perspective, and find that it is difficult to generate this operator without also ...
