The W boson mass (mW) is a key parameter of the standard model, constraining the mass of the unobserved Higgs boson. Using Tevatron ppbar collision data from 1992-1996, the CDF and D0 collaborations measured mW to a precision of 59 MeV. The…

Precise measurements of the mass and width of the W boson are sensitive to radiative corrections and can be used to place limits on new physics beyond the Standard Model and validate the consistency of the model. In particular, the W boson…

The upper bound on the mass of the lightest Higgs boson is provided in the supersymmetric standard model with multi-Higgs doublets, up to two-loop order. Relatively large corrections are expected from the experimentally unconstrained extra…
We combine results from CDF and D0 searches for a standard model Higgs boson (H) in ppbar collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron at sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV. With 1.0-1.9 fb-1 of data collected at CDF, and 0.9-1.7 fb-1 at D0, the 95% C.L. upper limits…
An upperbound on the mass of the lightest neutral scalar Higgs boson is calculated in an extended version of the minimal supersymmetric standard model that contains an additional Higgs singlet. We integrate the renormalization group…
Recently, the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab has measured the muon anomalous magnetic dipole moment (MDM), $a_\mu=(g_\mu-2)/2$, which reported that the new experimental average increases the tension between experiment and the standard…
The two--loop ${\cal O}(\alpha_s G_F m_t^2)$ corrections to the $b\bar b$ decay rate of the Standard Model Higgs boson as well as its production via $e^+e^- \to ZH$ will be presented. These QCD corrections are obtained by using a low-energy…
We consider the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model and determine the range of parameters for which CP violation and Flavor Changing Neutral Current effects are naturally small. It corresponds to small values of the mass parameter m_{12}^2, describing…
