Prospective searches about Higgs physics and beyond the Standard Model are presented for the CMS and ATLAS experiments. Possible excesses of events in real data could be an indication of the existence of new particles, even with few hundred…
Latest results from the LEP Collaboration on searches for neutral Higgs bosons predicted by the Standard Model and its minimal supersymmetric extension, the MSSM, are summarized.
We review the motivation for hidden Higgs scenarios and discuss the light CP odd Higgs scenario in the NMSSM as an example. We summarize experimental constraints including recent limits from BaBar and Aleph. The main part of the talk is the…
We re-evaluate the decays of the Higgs bosons in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) where the tree-level CP invariance of the Higgs potential is explicitly broken by the loop effects of the third-generation squarks with…
A search for an exotic decay of the Higgs boson to a pair of light pseudoscalar bosons is performed for the first time in the final state with two b quarks and two $\tau$ leptons. The search is motivated in the context of models of physics…
We investigate the LHC discovery prospects for a heavy Higgs boson decaying into the Standard Model Higgs boson and additional weak bosons. We consider a generic model-independent new physics configuration where this decay proceeds via a…
Neutral Higgs boson radiative decays of the form h_0, H, A \to f\bar{f}\gamma, in the light fermion limit $m_f->0, are calculated in the two Higgs doublet model at one-loop level. Comparisons with the calculation within the standard model…
The discovery of the Higgs boson suggests that also neutrinos get their mass from spontaneous symmetry breaking. In the simplest ungauged lepton number scheme, the Standard Model (SM) Higgs has now two other partners: a massive CP-even, as…
We study the exotic decay of the 125 GeV Higgs boson ($h$) into a pair of light spin-0 particles ($\phi$) which subsequently decays and results in a $4b$ final state. This decay mode is well motivated in the Next to Minimal Supersymmetric…
The first LHC run has confirmed the Standard Model as the correct theory at the electroweak scale, and the existence of a Higgs-like particle associated with the spontaneous breaking of the electroweak gauge symmetry. These lectures…
The study of the Higgs boson properties offers compelling perspectives for testing the effects of physics beyond the Standard Model and has deep implications for the LHC program and future colliders. Accurate determinations of the Higgs…
We study the lightest Higgs boson decays $h\rightarrow MZ$ in the $\mu$ from $\nu$ supersymmetric standard model ($\mu\nu$SSM), where $M$ is a vector meson $(\rho,\omega,\phi,J/\Psi,\Upsilon)$. Compared to the minimal supersymmetric…
We identify two types of well-motivated, so-far experimentally unexplored LHC signatures of extended Higgs sectors: First, Higgs-to-Higgs decay signatures that involve (at least) two Beyond-the-Standard Model (BSM) neutral scalar bosons,…
Little experimental data bears on the question of whether there is a spontaneously broken hidden sector that has no Standard Model quantum numbers. Here we discuss the prospects of finding evidence for such a hidden sector through…
Supersymmetry is one of the most plausible extensions of the Standard Model, since it is well motivated by the hierarchy problem, supported by measurements of the gauge coupling strengths, consistent with the suggestion from precision…
Supersymmetric models with an additional singlet field offer the Higgs boson the possibility to decay to two pseudoscalars, a. If the mass of these pseudoscalars is above the b bbar threshold, a -> b bbar is generically the dominant decay…
The CMS and ATLAS experiments at the LHC have announced the discovery of a Higgs boson with mass at approximately 125 $GeV/c^{2}$ in the search for the Standard Model Higgs boson via notably the $\gamma\gamma$ and $ZZ$ to four leptons final…

The latest preliminary results of the searches for Higgs bosons and Supersymmetric particles at LEP are reviewed. The results include the data-taking in 1999 up to center-of-mass energies of 196 GeV. The combination of the results from the…
These lectures provide a concise introduction to the so-called "Beyond the Standard Model"' physics, with particular emphasis on the problem of the microscopic origin of the Higgs mass term and of the Electro-Weak symmetry breaking scale in…
