abstract

In this article, we recast and combine the CMS and ATLAS analyses of the Standard Model Higgs boson decaying to a pair of $W$ bosons in order to search for low-mass resonances in this channel. We provide limits on the corresponding cross section assuming direct production via gluon fusion. For the whole range of masses we consider (90$\,$GeV to 200$\,$GeV), the observed limit on the cross section turns out to be weaker than the expected one. Furthermore, at $\approx95\,$GeV the limit is weakest and a new scalar decaying into a pair of $W$ bosons (which subsequently decay leptonically) with a cross section $\approx0.5\,$pb is preferred over the Standard Model hypothesis by $\gtrsim 2.5\,\sigma$. In light of the excesses in the $\gamma\gamma$, $\tau^+\tau^-$ and $b\bar b$ channels at similar masses, this strengthens the case for such a new Higgs boson. Furthermore, this analysis also gives room for the scalar candidate at 151$\,$GeV decaying into $W$ bosons.

  1. Interpreting Light Scalar Excesses and Heavy Scalar Cascades in the $\mu$-Term Extended NMSSM

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Viable μNMSSM regions can fit the 95 GeV diphoton/bb anomalies and produce H→hhs and A2→hA1→4b cascades near the 650 and (600,400) GeV CMS structures.

  2. Discovery Prospects for the 150 GeV charged scalar at Future $e^+e^-$ Colliders

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    At a 350 GeV electron-positron collider, a 150 GeV charged scalar in the real triplet Higgs model can be discovered with less than 1 fb^-1 and its mass measured to about 1 GeV at 500 fb^-1.

  3. Correlating $A \to \gamma\gamma$ with electric dipole moments in the two Higgs doublet model in light of the diphoton excesses at 95 GeV and 152 GeV

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The CP-odd scalar A in the flavor-aligned CP-violating 2HDM can explain the diphoton excesses at 95 and 152 GeV only in tuned regions that survive the electron EDM bound and predict measurable neutron and proton EDMs.

  4. Multi-Lepton Probes of the Drell-Yan Production of Triplet Higgses

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    The ΔSM real Higgs triplet model is consistent with LHC triboson excesses but predicts more events than observed and is not preferred over the Standard Model.

  5. Interpretation of 95 GeV Excess within the Georgi-Machacek Model in Light of Positive Definiteness Constraints

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The Georgi-Machacek model keeps viable parameter space for the 95 GeV diphoton and bbbar excesses under positive definiteness constraints, which the paper finds expand the allowed region relative to tree-level bounded...

  6. Exploring Potential Higgs Resonances at 650 GeV and 95 GeV in the 2HDM Type III

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In a 2HDM Type III, a 650 GeV CP-odd Higgs decaying via H(125)Z with H->γγ and Z->bb, plus a 95 GeV light Higgs, can accommodate both the CMS 650 GeV and the 95 GeV diphoton excesses at about 2.5 sigma.
