New emerging results in Higgs precision analysis updates 2018 after establishment of third-generation Yukawa couplings

A bstract We perform global fits of the Higgs boson couplings to all the 7 TeV, 8 TeV, and 13 TeV data available up to the Summer 2018. New measurements at 13 TeV extend to include the Higgs signal strengths exclusively measured in associated Higgs production with top-quark pair and the third-generation Yukawa couplings now have been established. Some important consequences emerge from the global fits. (i) The overall average signal strength of the Higgs boson stands at 2 σ above the SM value ( μ = 1.10 ± 0.05). (ii) For the first time the bottom-quark Yukawa coupling shows a preference of the positive sign to the negative one. (iii) The negative top-quark Yukawa coupling is completely ruled out unless there exist additional particles running in the H-γ-γ loop with contributions equal to two times the SM top-quark contribution within about 10 %. (iv) The branching ratio for nonstandard decays of the Higgs boson is now below 8.4% at the 95% confidence level.
