We analyze the ratio of branching ratios R=BR(H->b b-bar)/BR(H->tau^+ tau^-) of Higgs boson decays as a discriminant quantity between supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric models. This ratio receives large renormalization-scheme independent…
We investigate the charged Higgs boson signal at the LHC using its dominant production and decay modes with triple b-tagging, i.e. $tH^- \to t\bar tb \to b\bar bb W^+ W^-$, followed by leptonic decay of one W and hadronic decay of the…
The anomalous magnetic moment of the tau lepton, a_tau = (g_tau - 2)/2, is a sensitive probe of new physics but is extremely difficult to measure precisely in contrast to electron and muon moments. The best experimental limits were set by…

Higgs production in association with a $W$ boson and two energetic tag jets at the LHC is studied for $M_H = 120$ \GeV, with the Higgs decaying to $b\bar{b}$ and the $W$ to $\ell\nu$ ($\ell = e, \mu$), guaranteeing high trigger efficiency.…
