A Higgs or Not a Higgs? What to Do if You Discover a New Scalar Particle
read the original abstract
We show how to systematically analyze what may be inferred should a new scalar particle be discovered in collider experiments. Our approach is systematic in the sense that we perform the analysis in a manner which minimizes apriori theoretical assumptions as to the nature of the scalar particle. For instance, we do not immediately make the common assumption that a new scalar particle is a Higgs boson, and so must interact with a strength proportional to the mass of the particles with which it couples. We show how to compare different observables, and so to develop a decision tree from which the nature of the new particle may be discerned. We define several categories of models, which summarize the kinds of distinctions which the first experiments can make.

Constraints on Loryons in a Two Higgs Doublet Model
In a two-Higgs-doublet model, neutral singlet scalar Loryons remain viable up to about 700 GeV, while charged Loryon representations are strongly constrained by unitarity and Higgs-to-diphoton measurements.

Electroweak Restoration: SMEFT and HEFT
High-energy amplitude ratios for longitudinal di-boson production approach unity in the SM and dimension-6 SMEFT but not necessarily in HEFT, making the W±_L Z_L to W±_L h cross section ratio a promising discriminator...

Higgs pair production in gluon fusion to higher orders in Higgs Effective Field Theory
Consistent NLO power counting in HEFT for di-Higgs gluon fusion requires higher-dimensional operators beyond leading order, affecting kinematic benchmarks used in experiments.

Comment on 'Primary Dimensions'
Primary dimensions are inconsistent because their construction requires rescaling the gauge coupling in the Goldstone boson's covariant derivative, which breaks SU(2)_L gauge invariance of the Yukawa term.
