abstract
We investigate the search prospects for new scalars beyond the Standard Model (SM) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In these studies two real scalars $S$ and $\chi$ have been introduced in a two Higgs doublet model (2HDM), where $S$ is a portal to dark matter (DM) through its interaction with $\chi$, a DM candidate and a possible source of missing transverse energy (\MET). Previous studies focused on a heavy scalar $H$ decay mode $H \to h\chi\chi$, which was studied using an effective theory in order to explain a distortion in the Higgs ($h$) transverse momentum spectrum [16]. In this work, the effective decay is understood more deeply by including a mediator $S$, and the focus is changed to $H \to h S,~SS$ with $S \to \chi\chi$. Phenomenological signatures of all the new scalars in the proposed 2HDM are discussed in the energy regime of the LHC, and their mass bounds have been set accordingly. Additionally, we have performed several analyses with final states including leptons and \MET, with $H \to 4 W$, $t\bar t H \to 6 W$ and $A \to ZH$ channels, in order to understand the impact these scalars have on current searches.

A minimally extended Georgi-Machacek model accommodates the LHC excesses at 95 GeV and 152 GeV while preserving the 125 GeV Higgs signal and the electroweak rho parameter near unity.
The ΔSM real Higgs triplet model is consistent with LHC triboson excesses but predicts more events than observed and is not preferred over the Standard Model.
Excesses in di-photon and other channels at the LHC indicate possible new scalars near 95 GeV and 152 GeV, with the 152 GeV candidate fitting an SU(2)_L triplet model that also affects top-quark distributions.
