Scale invariance provides an interesting framework for understanding the origin of the electroweak scale without introducing explicit dimensionful parameters. In this talk, I will study electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) in two scale-invariant extensions of the Standard Model with multiple scalar fields. First, I consider the SM extended by two scalar singlets, both acquiring nonzero vacuum...
The excellent muon reconstruction, identification, and triggering capabilities of the CMS detector play a central role in a broad range of measurements and searches at the LHC. Final states containing one or more muons provide clean experimental signatures, high trigger efficiency, and precise momentum measurements over a wide kinematic range, enabling both precision studies of Standard Model...
We investigate Higgs boson pair production at a future high-energy muon--proton ($\mu^+p$) collider through the charged-current vector-boson-fusion process $\mu^+ p \to \bar{\nu}_\mu\, hh\, j$. Focusing on the $hh\to b\bar{b}b\bar{b}$ decay channel, we consider the characteristic final-state topology comprising four $b$-jets, a forward jet, and missing transverse momentum. The analysis is...
