In this paper, we constrain CP violation in the Higgs sector using the measured signal strengths in the various Higgs search channels. To this end, we introduce a general parameterization for a resonance which is an admixture of a CP-even…
Recent fits of electroweak precision data to the Standard Model (SM) with a 4th sequential family (SM4) point to a possible "three-prong composite solution": (1) the Higgs mass is at the TeV-scale, (2) the masses of the 4th family quarks…
The Higgs boson mass problem is considered in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model for the case of the spontaneous CP violation. The renormalization group equations for the gauge, Yukawa and scalar coupling constants, the…
In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with three generations of fermions, there is a stringent upper bound on the mass of the lightest neutral Higgs h, and the mass of the charged Higgs H^+, must be close (within tens of GeV)…
In the case of minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM), when the pseudoscalar Higgs boson mass is less than the supersymmetry energy scale, the effective theory at the electroweak scale is a two-Higgs-doublet model. We…
Within the four generation Standard Model, the Higgs couplings to gluons and to photons deviate in a significant way from the predictions of the three generation Standard Model. As a consequence, large departures in several Higgs production…
The Higgs boson is the only elementary particle predicted by the Standard Model (SM) that has neither been confirmed nor refuted. The CDF collaboration has performed SM Higgs searches in many channels using $p\pbar$ collisions at a…
We consider the Higgs boson anomalous FCNC interactions with $u$, $c$, $d$, $s$ and $b$ quarks using the effective field theory framework. Constraints on anomalous couplings are derived from experimental results on Higgs boson production…
We interpret the current experimental limit on the lightest Higgs boson mass to suggest that if nature is supersymmetric, there are additional interactions beyond those of the MSSM coming from new degrees of freedom around the TeV scale.…
We explore the implications of a 126 GeV Higgs boson indicated by the recent LHC results for two-Higgs doublet model (2HDM). Identifying the 126 GeV Higgs boson as either the lighter or heavier of CP even neutral Higgs bosons in 2HDM, we…
We show that the idea of Gauge-Higgs unification(GHU) can be rescued from the constraint of weak mixing angle by introducing localized brane kinetic terms in higher dimensional GHU models with bulk and simple gauge groups. We find that…
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…
One loop contributions to the CP even-CP odd Higgs boson mixings arising from contributions due to exchange of a vectorlike multiplet are computed under the Higgs boson mass constraint. The vectorlike multiplet consists of a fourth…
We combine results from searches by the CDF and D0 Collaborations for a standard model Higgs boson (H) in the processes gg->H->W+W- and gg->H->ZZ in p-pbar collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV. With 8.2 fb-1 of…
Electroweak precision observables allow stringent tests of the Standard Model at the quantum level and imply interesting bounds on the mass of the Higgs boson through higher-order loop effects. Very significant constraints come especially…
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 study the constraint on the mass of the charged Higgs boson in the minimal supergravity model based on the recent measurement of the inclusive $b\rightarrow s\gamma$ decay. It is shown that the lower bound for the charged Higgs mass…
We investigate the experimentally allowed parameter space of an extension of the standard model (SM3) by one additional family of fermions. Therefore we extend our previous study of the CKM like mixing constraints of a fourth generation of…
A perturbative new family of fermions is now severely constrained, though not excluded yet. We reconsider the current bounds (i.e., direct and from Higgs searches, R_b, oblique parameters) on the fourth generation parameter space assuming…
Constraints on the two Higgs doublet model are presented, assuming a top mass of 174 $\pm$ 17 GeV. We concentrate primarily on the ``type II'' model, where up--type quarks receive their mass from one Higgs doublet, and down--type quarks…
