Pith's one-line read A global fit of the Georgi-Machacek and extended Georgi-Machacek models finds that the 95 GeV diphoton and bottom-quark excesses are compatible with the 125 GeV Higgs data, while the ditau excess is not, and it sets upper bounds on the additional scalar masses.
desk verdict A useful, largely sound global fit of the GM/eGM models with a 95 GeV scalar; its headline mass bounds rest on NLO unitarity/BFB cuts imported from the authors' own preprint, so treat as conditional until those constraints are independently checkable. read the letter →
The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
The reading
The main results are that the diphoton and bottom-quark excesses can be accommodated together with all the 125 GeV Higgs measurements, whereas the tau-pair excess is incompatible with those measurements in both models. The fit also produces strong limits on the remaining new scalars: in the eGM model, the triplet vacuum expectation value must be below about 12 GeV when other scalars are lighter than 160 GeV, and about 20 GeV when they are heavier; the additional scalars cannot be much heavier than about 600 GeV. In the simpler GM model the limits are tighter, for example the quintet and triplet masses are below about 530 and 320 GeV.
These constraints matter because they show where to look for new scalars and rule out large regions of parameter space. The analysis depends on theoretical constraints from the authors' previous work, which are not re-derived in this paper, and on the choice to exclude the tau excess from the combined fit after showing it is inconsistent.
Extended reading notes
Core claim
The paper's central results are the posterior constraints from the combined fit: in the eGM model the triplet VEV cannot exceed 12 GeV for BSM scalar masses below 160 GeV (about 20 GeV above), the additional BSM scalar masses cannot exceed roughly 600 GeV, and in the GM model m5 < 530 GeV and m3 < 320 GeV; simultaneously, the 95 GeV diphoton and bb excesses are 'well compatible' with the 125 GeV Higgs data, while the ditau excess is incompatible. If correct, these numbers define the surviving parameter space of both models.
Load-bearing premise
The paper applies the NLO unitarity and bounded-from-below constraints derived in the authors' previous work Ref. [126] as hard cuts in the fit, without re-deriving or validating them here. The central mass bounds, e.g., mF++ < 600 GeV in eGM and m5 < 530 GeV, m3 < 320 GeV in GM, are directly produced by these theoretical cuts. If those constraints are incomplete, incorrectly implemented, or too aggressive, the reported bounds would be weakened. This assumption is structurally distinct from the final constraints: it is the input that produces them.

Referee Report
Summary. This paper performs global Bayesian fits of the CP-conserving Georgi-Machacek (GM) and extended Georgi-Machacek (eGM) models in the presence of a light CP-even scalar with mass in the 90–100 GeV range, using the HEPfit/BAT framework. The fits combine 125 GeV Higgs signal strengths, 95 GeV excess data (diphoton, bbbar, ditau), LHC direct search limits, B-physics observables (B→Xsγ and Rγ), and theoretical constraints from NLO unitarity and bounded-from-below conditions that are imported from the authors' previous preprint Ref. [126] as hard cuts. The main results are posterior bounds on the triplet VEV and BSM scalar masses: in the eGM model, vχ≲12 GeV for BSM masses below 160 GeV and ≲20 GeV above, with mF++<600 GeV, mF0<580 GeV, mH+<590 GeV, and mA<350 GeV; in the GM model, vΔ≲4 GeV at low mass and ≲15 GeV at high mass, with m5<530 GeV and m3<320 GeV. The paper also claims that the 95 GeV diphoton and bbbar excesses are well compatible with 125 GeV Higgs data, while the CMS ditau excess is incompatible, and that ditau data are therefore excluded from the combined fit.
Significance. If the central bounds are correct, they provide a useful and nontrivial map of the surviving parameter space of two popular triplet-extended scalar models with a light scalar, and they sharpen the phenomenological status of the 95 GeV excesses. The use of the open-source HEPfit framework and the presentation of posterior regions for many mass and mixing planes are strengths, as is the inclusion of one-loop B-physics contributions in the eGM model. However, the two headline claims — the stringent mass and VEV bounds, and the incompatibility of the ditau excess — rest respectively on constraints taken verbatim from a self-cited preprint and on a post-hoc exclusion of the ditau data. These dependencies make the central quantitative claims difficult to verify from the manuscript alone and require either re-derivation, code/benchmark release, or a quantitative compatibility test.
major comments (4)
- [Sec. V.B and Sec. VI] The theoretical constraints—NLO 2→2 S-matrix unitarity at 1 TeV, NLO corrections small relative to LO, perturbativity, and bounded-from-below checks for three-field directions—are imposed as hard cuts by referring to Ref. [126] without reproducing or validating them. The headline mass bounds of Sec. VI (mF++<600 GeV, mF0<580 GeV, mH+<590 GeV, m5<530 GeV, m3<320 GeV) and the triplet VEV limits are directly produced by these cuts. Please include a self-contained summary of the constraints (or release the code/benchmark tables) and demonstrate the sensitivity of the quoted bounds to reasonable variations of the cut implementation, for example comparing LO-only unitarity with the NLO criterion or varying the scale at which the constraints are imposed.
- [Abstract, Appendix B, Sec. VI] The conclusion that the CMS ditau excess is incompatible with the 125 GeV Higgs signal strength data is not derived from a fit that includes the ditau measurement. The ditau signal strength is excluded from the combined fit, and the incompatibility is inferred from the non-overlap of posterior regions in the κ_H^f versus κ_H^V plane (Fig. 8). This is a qualitative visual argument, not a quantitative compatibility statement. Please either perform a fit that includes μ_ττ and report the resulting posterior or Bayes factor, or compute a quantitative measure of the overlap between the h-signal-strength-only and ditau-allowed regions, and state the conclusion accordingly.
- [Sec. VI and Conclusions] The paper states in Sec. V.A that the light scalar mass m_H (or m1) is varied in [90,100] GeV, but the Conclusions say the quoted bounds are obtained 'Fixing m1 or mH = 95.4 GeV'. These are different analyses and can give different limits. Please clarify which procedure produced the numbers in the abstract and Conclusions, and if the bounds are from a scan over the 90–100 GeV window, show the dependence on the light scalar mass; if they are from a fixed 95.4 GeV point, state this explicitly in the abstract and in the relevant figure captions.
- [Table 2] The prior for λχ in the eGM model is restricted to [0,4π] while all other quartic couplings are sampled in [−4π,4π]. No justification is provided for this one-sided prior. If this restriction is not forced by the theory (e.g., by the BFB conditions already imposed), it could artificially truncate the parameter space and influence the reported mass and VEV bounds. Please justify the prior choice or remove the restriction and assess the impact on the results.
minor comments (6)
- [Sec. V.C] The treatment of direct search limits via a Gaussian likelihood with a standard deviation chosen so that R_direct = 1 is excluded at 95% CL is an approximation; please state the associated systematic uncertainty or cite the procedure more precisely, since several of the quoted bounds rely on it.
- [Sec. IV.B.4] The sentence 'we exclude the possibility that the non-custodial singlet is responsible' is confusing; the intended meaning is presumably that states outside the custodial-singlet sector (fiveplet/triplet) do not couple to fermions and hence cannot be produced via gluon fusion. Please rephrase.
- [Eq. (13) and Fig. 2] The B-physics analysis uses one-loop Wilson coefficients while comparing to NNLO SM predictions; the footnote acknowledges higher-order corrections may be significant. Since Bsγ is claimed to provide a dominant constraint at low charged-scalar mass, please state the expected theoretical uncertainty from the missing higher-order BSM contributions, or soften the corresponding bounds accordingly.
- [Table 4] Several rows for pp→H±,F±→τ±ν are duplicated; please remove the redundant entries.
- [Fig. 4 caption] The caption lists 'No constraints', 'Direct searches', 'Theory', and 'All constraints' but the figure legend order does not match the description in the text; please make the color labeling unambiguous.
- [General] The text consistently uses '95.4% probability' and 'excluded at a 95.4% probability' for what are marginalized Bayesian credible intervals; this language is more frequentist than Bayesian and may mislead readers. Please use '95.4% credible interval' or 'posterior probability' throughout.
Circularity Check
The eGM and GM mass and triplet-VEV bounds are imposed as hard cuts imported from the authors' own Ref. [126], so the headline constraints are largely inherited from that self-citation; however, the 95 GeV compatibility statements rest on independent external LHC, LEP, and B-physics data.

self citation load bearing
[Section V.B, 'Theoretical constraints'; results in Section VI and Conclusions]
"From theoretical perspective, we incorporate the constraints given in Ref. [126] in our fits: ... The S-matrix eigenvalues for 2→2 scattering, including NLO corrections, must satisfy unitarity bounds at 1 TeV. We also require NLO corrections to be small relative to the LO eigenvalues."
The paper's headline bounds — m_F++ < 600 GeV, m_F0 < 580 GeV, m_H+ < 590 GeV in eGM, and m_5 < 530 GeV, m_3 < 320 GeV in GM, plus the triplet-VEV limits — are the 95.4% posterior boundaries of a fit whose allowed region is carved out by these hard cuts. The cuts are not re-derived or validated in this manuscript; the paper explicitly delegates with 'For a comprehensive analysis of how theoretical constraints influence the parameter space, we refer the reader to Ref. [126]' and concludes with 'Incorporating our recently calculated NLO unitarity and BFB conditions [126]...'. Thus the central quantitative output is the same constraint set restated as an output through a same-author citation, rather than an independent derivation presented here.
full rationale
This is a global-fit paper, so the reported values are posterior constraints rather than predictions, and I found no equation-level reduction in which an output is defined in terms of an output. The 95 GeV diphoton/b-bbar compatibility result is a genuine overlap between external LHC/LEP signal-strength inputs and the 125 GeV Higgs data, and the ditau incompatibility similarly follows from external data. The main circularity concern is the theoretical block: every mass and VEV limit in the central results is produced by applying the NLO unitarity and bounded-from-below cuts of Ref. [126] as hard cuts, and the paper repeatedly refers the reader to that same-author work instead of reproducing or validating the constraints. Because the prior volume is defined by those cuts, the headline mass bounds are inherited from the self-citation chain. I therefore score 4: the self-citation is genuinely load-bearing for the central quantitative claims, but the paper also has independent empirical content, and no fully self-definitional or fitted-input-as-prediction step is exhibited.

abstract
We perform global fits of the CP-conserving Georgi-Machacek (GM) and extended Georgi-Machacek (eGM) models, incorporating a light CP-even beyond the Standard Model (BSM) scalar within the mass range of $90$ GeV to $100$ GeV. These fits combine the Higgs signal strengths and direct search limits from ATLAS and CMS at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ and $13$ TeV, $B$-physics observables, and theoretical constraints arising from next-to-leading order (NLO) unitarity and BFB constraints. From the global fit, we show that the LHC diphoton and LEP $b\bar{b}$ excesses around $95$ GeV are well compatible with the $125$ GeV Higgs data. Whereas the CMS ditau excess is incompatible with the $125$ GeV Higgs signal strength data in both the CP-conserving GM and eGM models. We present the results from the combined fit, including the $95$ GeV Higgs signal strength data. In the eGM model, the triplet VEV cannot exceed $12$ GeV for additional BSM scalar masses below $160$ GeV and approximately $20$ GeV for additional BSM scalar masses above $160$ GeV. The masses of additional BSM scalars cannot exceed $600$ GeV. The maximum mass splitting is of around $120$ GeV within the members of each custodial multiplet, and up to $250$ GeV between the members of different multiplets. In the GM model, these constraints become more stringent: the triplet VEV is limited to below $15$ GeV, which tightens to $4$ GeV once the BSM scalar masses are below $160$ GeV. Masses of the quintet $m_5$ and the triplet $m_3$ are restricted to be below $530$ GeV and $320$ GeV, respectively. A mass hierarchy, $m_5 > m_3$, is favoured in the high-mass region, with the mass splitting constrained to be less than $210$ GeV.
