A search for the standard model Higgs boson is presented using events with two charged leptons and large missing transverse energy selected from 5.4 fb-1 of integrated luminosity in p-pbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV collected with the…
In the unified subquark model of all fundamental particles and forces, the mass of the Higgs boson in the standard model of electroweak interactions ($m_H$) is predicted to be about $2\sqrt{6}m_W/3$ (where $m_W$ is the mass of the charged…

We demonstrate that a measurement of the Bjorken process $e^+e^-, \mu^+\mu^-\to ZH$ in the threshold region can yield a precise determination of the Higgs boson mass. With an integrated luminosity of $100 fb^{-1}$, it is possible to measure…
We reconsider the lambda-SUSY model, in which the mass of the Higgs boson is raised already at tree level up to about 200 GeV via an additional interaction in the superpotential between the Higgs bosons and a Singlet, focusing on a scale…
The discovery of the long awaited Higgs boson is described using data from the CMS detector at the LHC. In the SM the masses of fermions and the heavy gauge bosons are generated by the interactions with the Higgs field, so all couplings are…
In supersymmetric models with minimal particle content and without large left-right squarks mixing, the conventional knowledge is that the Higgs Boson mass around 125 GeV leads to top squark masses ${\cal O}(10)$ TeV, far beyond the reach…
We consider the implications of the CDF collaboration high-precision measurement of the W boson mass on models with a non-standard Higgs. We show that this requires an enhancement of 3-10% in the non-standard Higgs coupling to the gauge…
High precision measurements of electroweak observables at $e^\pm$ colliders indicate the existence of a light Higgs boson below the $W^\pm$ threshold. If such a fundamental scalar should be found in the near future it is important to fully…
We present the Tevatron combination of searches for the Higgs boson and studies of its properties. The searches use up to 10 fb$^{-1}$ of Tevatron collider Run II data. We observe a significant excess of events in the mass range between 115…
We combine results from CDF and D0 on direct searches for a standard model (SM) Higgs boson (H) in ppbar collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron at sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV. Compared to the previous Higgs Tevatron combination, more data and new…
We review the theory of Higgs bosons, with emphasis on the Higgs scalars of the Standard Model and its non-supersymmetric and supersymmetric extensions. After surveying the expected knowledge of Higgs boson physics after the Tevatron and…

The mass of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson was constrained by the Large Electron-Positron (LEP) collider to be above 114.4 GeV. Simple extensions of the scalar sector like adding singlets and/or doublets allow the lightest Higgs to be…
We investigate a class of theories where the mass of the lightest Higgs boson of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) can be larger than the Z gauge boson mass at tree level. In this context the MSSM fields feel a new force,…

A composite Higgs boson is likely to be accompanied by additional light states generated by the same dynamics. This expectation is substantiated when realising the composite Higgs mechanism by an underlying gauge theory. We review the…
