Additional Higgs Bosons near 95 and 650 GeV in the NMSSM
read the original abstract
Hints for an additional Higgs boson with a mass of about 95 GeV originate from LEP and searches in the diphoton channel by CMS and ATLAS. A search for resonant production of SM plus BSM Higgs bosons in the diphoton plus bb channel by CMS showed some excess for a 650 GeV resonance decaying into the SM Higgs plus a 95 GeV Higgs boson. We investigate whether these phenomena can be interpreted simultaneously within the NMSSM subject to the latest constraints on couplings of the SM Higgs boson, on extra Higgs bosons from the LHC, and on dark matter direct detection cross sections. We find that the hints for a 95 GeV Higgs boson in the diphoton channel by CMS and ATLAS and in the diphoton plus bb channel by CMS can be fitted simultaneously within the 2 sigma level.

Interpretation of LHC excesses at 95 GeV and 152 GeV in an extended Georgi-Machacek model
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.

Interpreting Light Scalar Excesses and Heavy Scalar Cascades in the $\mu$-Term Extended NMSSM
Viable regions in the μNMSSM accommodate the 95 GeV excesses within 2σ and allow heavy CP-even and CP-odd scalars to produce cascades close to current CMS sensitivity.
