The Complex singlet extension of the Standard Model (CxSM) is the simplest extension that provides scenarios for Higgs pair production with different masses. The model has two interesting phases: the dark matter phase, with a Standard Model-like Higgs boson, a new scalar and a dark matter candidate; and the broken phase, with all three neutral scalars mixing. In the latter phase Higgs decays into a pair of two different Higgs bosons are possible. In this study we analyse Higgs-to-Higgs decays in the framework of singlet extensions of the Standard Model (SM), with focus on the CxSM. After demonstrating that scenarios with large rates for such chain decays are possible we perform a comparison between the NMSSM and the CxSM. We find that, based on Higgs-to-Higgs decays, the only possibility to distinguish the two models at the LHC run 2 is through final states with two different scalars. This conclusion builds a strong case for searches for final states with two different scalars at the LHC run 2. Finally, we propose a set of benchmark points for the real and complex singlet extensions to be tested at the LHC run 2. They have been chosen such that the discovery prospects of the involved scalars are maximised and they fulfil the dark matter constraints. Furthermore, for some of the points the theory is stable up to high energy scales. For the computation of the decay widths and branching ratios we developed the Fortran code, sHDECAY, which is based on the implementation of the real and complex singlet extensions of the SM in HDECAY.

  1. Full Next-To Leading-Order Electroweak and QCD Corrections to the Relic Density in the CxSM

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    NLO QCD and electroweak corrections to the CxSM dark-matter relic density are computed and released in the public code RelExt@NLO; the corrections shift the allowed parameter region in both directions.

  2. TRSMScans

    TRSMScans is an automated zoom-optimization scanner that computes maximal allowed rates for asymmetric scalar production and decay chains in the TRSM (and potentially other ScannerS models) under all theoretical and e...

  3. Correlating Resonant Di-Higgs and Tri-Higgs Production to $H\to VV$ in the 2HDM

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the decoupling limit of the 2HDM, a heavy Higgs boson's decays to two Higgs bosons and to Z/W pairs are predicted to have a fixed ratio of about 9.5, independent of Yukawa and scalar-potential parameters.

  4. Vacuum Instability and False Vacuum Decay Induced by Domain Walls in the N2HDM

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Domain walls in the N2HDM can erase the barrier around the electroweak vacuum, making long-lived metastable vacua decay classically and excluding parameter points previously considered viable.
