The minimal supersymmetric standard model, and extensions, have stringent upper bounds on the mass of the lightest Higgs boson if perturbativity up to the Planck scale is assumed. We argue that these bounds are softened tremendously if the…
The difference between the updated experimental result on the muon anomalous magnetic dipole moment and the corresponding theoretical prediction of the standard model on that is about $4.2$ standard deviations. In this work, we calculate…
We present new results of the search for WH to lepton neutrino b b production in ppbar collisions at a center of mass energy of sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV, based on a dataset with integrated luminosity of 0.44 fb-1. We combine these new results with…
The upper bounds from the ATLAS and CMS experiments on the decay rate of the Higgs boson to two muons provide the strongest constraint on an imaginary part of the muon Yukawa coupling. This bound is more than an order of magnitude stronger…
Updating various theoretical and experimental constraints on the four different types of two-Higgs-doublet models (2HDMs), we find that only the ``lepton-specific" (or ``type X") 2HDM can explain the present muon g$-$2 anomaly in the…
The D0 experiment has reported a direct search for a charged Higgs boson produced by $q \bar q$ annihilation and decaying to $t \bar b$ final state, in the $180 \leq M_{H^+} \leq 300$ GeV mass range. The analysis has lead to upper limits on…
The most recent $W$-boson mass measurement by the CDF collaboration with a substantially reduced uncertainty indicates a significant deviation from the standard model prediction, as large as $7\sigma$ if taken literally. Then the…
A search is performed for neutral non-standard-model Higgs bosons decaying to two muons in the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). Proton-proton collision data recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron…
The two-loop Higgs mass upper bounds are reanalyzed. Previous results for a cutoff scale $\Lambda\approx$ few TeV are found to be too stringent. For $\Lambda=10^{19}$ GeV we find $M_H < 180 \pm 4\pm 5$ GeV, the first error indicating the…
We discuss the bound on the mass of the Higgs boson arising from precision electroweak measurements in the context of the triviality of the scalar Higgs model. We show that, including possible effects from the underlying nontrivial…
We report on a search for the production of the Higgs boson decaying to two bottom quarks accompanied by two additional quarks. The data sample used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of approximately 4\,\invfb\, of \ppbar\, collisions…
A summary of the Higgs boson searches by the ATLAS and CMS collabrations using 1 f b-1 of LHC data is presented, concentrating on the Standard Model Higgs boson. Both experiments have the sensitivity to exclude at 95% CL a Standard Model…
Precision electroweak data are generally believed to constrain the Higgs boson mass to lie below approximately 190 GeV at 95% confidence level. The standard Higgs model is, however, trivial and can only be an effective field theory valid…
We investigate the uncertainty induced by the Higgs-boson mass on the determination of $m_W$ from the LEP-2 run near the threshold for $W$-pair production. For a light Higgs boson the Yukawa interaction between the two slowly-moving $W$…
The most reliable prediction for the Higgs-boson mass, M_H, is obtained in a fit to the leptonic Z-resonance observables Gamma_l and swbar^2 combined with the W-boson mass, M_W, and top-quark mass, m_t, measurements. The corresponding…
The LHC discovered the Standard Model (SM) like Higgs boson with mass around 125 GeV. However, there exist hints of deviations from Higgs decays. Including the Tevatron data, the deviations can be explained by the extremely mixed stop…
The muon anomaly $a_\mu=(g_\mu-2)/2$ showing a persisting 3 to 4 $\sigma$ deviation between the SM prediction and the experiment is one of the most promising signals for physics beyond the SM. As is well known, the hadronic uncertainties…
We have studied imposing the condition that the Standard Model effective Higgs potential should have two approximately degenerate vacua, such that the vacuum we live in is just barely metastable: the one in which we live has a vacuum…
We discuss the bound on the mass of the Higgs boson arising from precision electroweak measurements in the context of the triviality of the scalar Higgs model. We show that, including possible effects from the underlying nontrivial…
We investigate the potential of a muon collider for testing the presence of anomalous Higgs boson couplings. We consider the case of a light (less than $160 GeV$) Higgs boson and study the effects on the Higgs branching ratios and total…
