Anatomy of the Higgs mass spectrum

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

We analyze the implications of a Higgs discovery on possible ``new-physics'' scenarios, for mHm_H up to 700\sim 700 GeV. For this purpose we critically review lower and upper limits on the Higgs mass in the SM and in the MSSM, respectively. Furthermore, we discuss the general features of possible ``heavy'' (mH\gsim2mZm_H \gsim 2 m_Z) Higgs scenarios by means of a simple heavy-fermion condensate model.
