The four LEP collaborations, ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL, have collected a total of 2461 pb-1 of e+e- collision data at centre-of-mass energies between 189 and 209 GeV. The data are used to search for the Standard Model Higgs boson. The search results of the four collaborations are combined and examined in a likelihood test for their consistency with two hypotheses: the background hypothesis and the signal plus background hypothesis. The corresponding confidences have been computed as functions of the hypothetical Higgs boson mass. A lower bound of 114.4 GeV/c2 is established, at the 95% confidence level, on the mass of the Standard Model Higgs boson. The LEP data are also used to set upper bounds on the HZZ coupling for various assumptions concerning the decay of the Higgs boson.

  1. The 95 GeV Excess in Models with Two Higgs Doublets plus One Singlet: Model Distinction via Four-top Final States and Triple Higgs Couplings

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using the 95 GeV excess benchmarks, four-top production at HL-LHC and di-Higgs production at ILC500 can distinguish the N2HDM from the 2HDMS for pseudoscalar-mixing angles beyond a computed 'α4 limit'.

  2. Deciphering compressed electroweakino excesses with MadAnalysis 5

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    MadAnalysis 5 v1.11 adds validated recasting of two ATLAS compressed-electroweakino searches and shows that a proposed NMSSM scenario fits the soft-lepton and monojet excesses less well than simpler models.

  3. Searching for Di-Higgs Signatures of Light Charged Scalars

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A roughly 130 GeV charged Higgs explaining the ATLAS t to bH+ excess and B-meson anomalies can be constrained, and perhaps discovered, by recasting SM di-Higgs 4b searches at the LHC.

  4. Vacuum Instability and False Vacuum Decay Induced by Domain Walls in the N2HDM

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Domain walls in the N2HDM can erase the barrier around the electroweak vacuum, making long-lived metastable vacua decay classically and excluding parameter points previously considered viable.

  5. Light scalars within the $\mathcal{CP}$-conserving Aligned-two-Higgs-doublet model

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    All seven light-scalar scenarios of the CP-conserving aligned two-Higgs-doublet model contain sizeable parameter regions compatible with current collider and flavour data, with the lightest new scalars bounded by LEP ...

  6. Vacuum Metastability from Axion-Higgs Criticality

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An ALP-Higgs coupling can lower the vacuum instability scale to near the weak scale, predicting an axion-like particle between 1 MeV and 20 GeV that future experiments can fully probe.

  7. 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.

  8. On the CP Nature of the `95 GeV' Anomalies

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A projection study showing that HL-LHC tau-pair data could determine the CP mixing angle of a hypothetical 95 GeV resonance to within roughly 0.27 to 0.47 radians at 90% confidence.

  9. Mono-X Signal Characterization from Two-component Dark Matter Using a Convolutional Neural Network

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A 1D multi-channel CNN trained on normalized histograms of simulated mono-jet and mono-Z events can partially classify one- versus two-component dark matter and regress masses, but only in a background-free, model-spe...

  10. GeV-scale thermal dark matter from dark photons: tightly constrained, yet allowed

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a dark-photon-mediated Dirac fermionic DM model, only narrow resonant regions with small dark-sector coupling allow the candidate to saturate the full relic density while evading current direct and indirect detecti...

  11. Deconstructing resonant Higgs pair production at the LHC: effects of coloured and neutral scalars in the NMSSM test case

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the NMSSM, interference between heavy Higgs resonances, SM top loops and stop loops can strongly distort the di-Higgs invariant mass spectrum, and a diagram-by-diagram decomposition makes these distortions interpretable.

  13. The 96 GeV Diphoton Excess in the Seesaw Extensions of the Natural NMSSM

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the seesaw-extended NMSSM, a ~96 GeV scalar can reproduce both the LEP bbbar and CMS diphoton excesses while the sneutrino dark matter passes all current constraints, in three parameter regions.

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

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    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.

  15. Resonances all over the place?

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The authors argue that the 650 GeV LHC excesses, if real, require doubly charged scalars and propose an extended Georgi-Machacek model with four neutral scalars fitting the 95, 320, 650 GeV and 125 GeV Higgs signals.
