abstract

We study the phenomenological viability of chiral extensions of the Standard Model, with new chiral fermions acquiring their mass through interactions with a single Higgs. We examine constraints from electroweak precision tests, Higgs physics and direct searches at the LHC. Our analysis indicates that purely chiral scenarios are perturbatively excluded by the combination of Higgs coupling measurements and LHC direct searches. However, allowing for a partial contribution from vector-like masses opens up the parameter space and non-decoupled exotic leptons could account for the observed 2$\sigma$ deviation in $h \to Z\gamma$. This scenario will be further tested in the high-luminosity phase of the LHC.

  1. A framework for missing-energy searches with anomalous light vectors

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For light U(1)X vectors coupled to anomaly-sensitive currents, Wess-Zumino coefficients are fixed by anomaly matching, which lets all missing-energy searches (K, B, D, Z) be mapped onto one (m_X,g_X) plane with minima...

  2. Gauged $\tau$-lepton chiral currents and $B \to K^{(*)} E_{\rm miss}$

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Gauging chiral tau lepton number with a light X boson of mass about 2.1 GeV explains the Belle II B to K missing-energy excess and survives existing bounds.

  3. The Two Scales of New Physics in Loop-Induced Higgs Couplings

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A deviation in the loop-induced Higgs couplings hgg, hγγ, or hZγ caused solely by new vectorlike fermions implies an upper bound on the mass scale of new bosons needed to restore perturbativity and vacuum stability.
