abstract

The discovery of the Higgs boson has led to new possible signatures for heavy resonance searches at the LHC. Since then, search channels including at least one Higgs boson plus another particle have formed an important part of the program of new physics searches. In this report, the status of these searches by the CMS Collaboration is reviewed. Searches are discussed for resonances decaying to two Higgs bosons, a Higgs and a vector boson, or a Higgs boson and another new resonance. All analyses use proton-proton collision data collected at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV in the years 2016-2018. A combination of the results of these searches is presented together with constraints on different beyond-the-standard model scenarios, including scenarios with extended Higgs sectors, heavy vector bosons and extra dimensions. Studies are shown for the first time by CMS on the validity of the narrow-width approximation in searches for the resonant production of a pair of Higgs bosons. The potential for a discovery at the High Luminosity LHC is also discussed.

  1. A Busy Higgs Signal

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Higher-order Higgs couplings induce an electroweak-symmetry-breaking enhancement that makes Higgs-rich final states the dominant signals for scalar resonances and opens resonant multi-Higgs channels above a couple of TeV.

  2. Combination of searches for heavy vector boson resonances in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

    hep-ex 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0

    A CMS combination of searches finds no heavy vector boson resonance and excludes HVT W′/Z′ bosons below 5.5 TeV (weak coupling), 4.8 TeV (strong coupling), and 2.0 TeV for VBF production at 95% CL.

  3. Dark Matter in the General 2HDM with Extra Top Yukawa Couplings

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    G2HDM plus a Z2-odd real scalar singlet yields viable top-window dark matter and six LHC benchmarks, including flavor-violating mono-top production of invisible H→SS.

  4. Alignment and Enhanced Multi-Higgs Production

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In extended scalar sectors near the alignment limit, higher-dimensional interactions can make two-, three-, or four-Higgs final states the dominant discovery mode at the LHC via gluon fusion.

  5. Search for a resonance decaying into a scalar particle and a Higgs boson in the final state with two bottom quarks and two photons with 199 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected at $\sqrt{s}$=13 and 13.6 TeV with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Search for resonant X -> S(bb) H(gamma gamma) production finds no significant excess and sets 95% CL limits on sigma*BR ranging from 9 fb to 0.06 fb over mass ranges 170-1000 GeV for X and 15-500 GeV for S.

  6. Search for a resonance decaying into a scalar particle and a Higgs boson in the final state with two bottom quarks and two photons with 199 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected at $\sqrt{s}$=13 and 13.6 TeV with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2025-10 accept novelty 4.0

    No significant excess observed in search for X → S(bb)H(γγ); 95% CL limits on σ×BR set from 9 fb to 0.06 fb over m_X 170-1000 GeV and m_S 15-500 GeV in 199 fb^{-1} of ATLAS data.

  7. Interference effects in new physics searches

    hep-ph 2026-01 accept novelty 3.0

    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.
