A search is described for the neutral Higgs bosons h^0 and A^0 predicted by models with two scalar field doublets and, in particular, the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The search in the Z^0 h^0 and h^0 A^0 production…
We present a detailed study of the Higgs sector within an extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model that includes one Complex Higgs Triplet (MSSM+1CHT). The model spectrum includes three singly charged Higgs bosons as well as…
We present detailed results of a diagrammatic calculation of the leading two-loop QCD corrections to the masses of the neutral CP-even Higgs bosons in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The two-loop corrections are…
Extending the Higgs sector of the MSSM by triplets alleviates the little hierarchy problem and naturally allows for enhancements in the diphoton decay rate of the lightest CP-even Higgs h. In the present paper we analyze in detail the Higgs…
The Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard model (NMSSM) appears as an interesting candidate for the interpretation of the Higgs-measurement at the LHC and as a rich framework embedding physics beyond the Standard Model. We consider the…
For the general two-Higgs doublet model with Yukawa sector of type II (type II 2HDM), the Higgs alignment limit conditions are obtained for the neutral Higgs bosons with indefinite CP-parity $h_1, h_2$ or $h_3$, based on the symbolic…
The two Higgs doublet model (THDM) is a simple extension of the standard model, which can provide a low energy effective description of more fundamental theories. The model contains additional Higgs bosons, and predicts rich phenomenology…
Vacuum stability and metastability imply lower limits on the mass of the higgs boson in the Standard Model (SM). In contrast, we present an improved calculation of an upper limit on the lightest higgs mass in supersymmetric (susy) models,…
We perform a global fit to high energy precision electroweak data in a Higgs model containing the usual isospin doublet plus a real isospin triplet. The analysis is performed in terms of the oblique parameters S, T and U and we show that…
We study the complete one loop contribution to H^\pm\to W^\pm V, V= Z, \gamma, both in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and in the Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM). We evaluate the MSSM contributions and compare them with the…
If an extra supersymmetric U(1) gauge factor exists at the TeV energy scale, which is then broken together with the supersymmetry, there will be several interesting and important phenomenological consequences, not only at the TeV scale, but…
The Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) offers a rich framework embedding physics beyond the Standard Model as well as consistent interpretations of the results about the Higgs signal detected at the LHC. We investigate…
In models with a non-minimal Higgs sector, a decoupling limit can be defined. In this limit, the masses of all the physical Higgs states are large (compared to the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking) except for one neutral CP-even Higgs…
A CP-even neutral Higgs boson with Standard-Model-like couplings may be the lightest scalar of a two-Higgs-doublet model. We study the decoupling limit of the most general CP-conserving two-Higgs-doublet model, where the mass of the…
In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) the existence of an upper bound on the mass of the $CP=+1$ lightest Higgs boson, equal to $m_Z$ at tree--level and $\simlt 120\ GeV$ after the inclusion of radiative corrections, has…
We propose an extension of the Standard Model by extending the EW symmetry to SU(2)_L x U(1) x Z_2 and introducing three SU(2)_L x U(1) singlet right handed neutrinos, N_R, and an additional Higgs doublet, phi. While the SM gauge bosons and…
In this letter we study the Higgs mass in the NMSSM with supersymmetry breaking at high scales $M_{SS}$. With the Standard Model as the effective low energy theory, the computation of the Higgs mass relies on the matching condition of the…
We present `twin Higgs models', simple realizations of the Higgs as a pseudo-Goldstone boson that protect the weak scale from radiative corrections up to scales of order 5 - 10 TeV. In the ultra-violet these theories have a discrete…
We study the phenomenology of the neutral Higgs sector of a non-SUSY non-minimal Standard Model. Models with more than one Higgs doublet are possible, and may contain neutral Higgs scalars with branching ratios significantly different to…
