HIGHLIGHTED ARTICLES

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Constraints on and future prospects for two-Higgs-doublet models in light of the LHC Higgs signal

Béranger Dumont, John F. Gunion, Yun Jiang, and Sabine Kraml

Phys. Rev. D 90, 035021 (2014) - Published 21 August, 2014

To what extent is the 125.5 GeV Higgs-like resonance observed at the LHC, compatible with Two-Higgs-Doublet-Models (2HDMs) - one of the simplest extensions of the Higgs sector? The paper provides an exhaustive analysis.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Cosmological constraints on very dark photons

Anthony Fradette, Maxim Pospelov, Josef Pradler, and Adam Ritz

Phys. Rev. D 90, 035022 (2014) - Published 25 August, 2014

A ”dark photon” that mixes with the usual electromagnetic photon has cosmological consequences. The paper explores them for Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) and the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), and finds new constraints for this scenario from cosmology.
