Constraining extended Higgs sectors with HiggsSignals

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

We introduce the public computer code HiggsSignals, which can be used to test the predictions from models with arbitrary Higgs sectors against experimental measurements. Following a brief description of the code, several examples of HiggsSignals applications are given. We derive constraints on extended Higgs sectors taking into account the measured rates for the observed LHC Higgs signal in all available channels. The results are presented both in a model-independent framework with coupling scale factors that parametrize deviations from the Standard Model, and in a model-dependent example where we analyze a specific benchmark scenario of the minimal supersymmetric standard model.
