The rare decay $H\to \gamma\gamma$ is a promising detection channel for an intermediate mass Higgs boson. We compute its two-loop $O(\alpha^2 G_F m_t^2)$ correction in the standard model and find that the relative correction to the decay…
Using Wilsonian renormalization, we calculate the quantum correction to observable quantities, rather than the bare parameters, of the Higgs field. A physical parameter, such as a mass-squared or a quartic coupling, at an energy scale $\mu$…
Present data, both from direct Higgs search and from analysis of electroweak data, are starting to become rather restrictive on the possible values for the mass of the standard model Higgs. We discuss a new physics scenario based on a model…
The one-loop Higgs coupling to two gluons has been invoked in the past to estimate that the fraction of the nucleon mass which is due to the Higgs is rather small but calculable (approximately 8 percent). To test the veracity of this…
The partial Higgs width $\Gamma (H \longrightarrow \gamma \gamma)$ is important at the LHC for Higgs masses in the MSSM mass window up to 140 GeV as a relatively background free signal of a fundamental scalar. At the photon photon mode at…
Polarization characteristics of gamma gamma and gamma Z states in the Higgs boson decays h -> gamma gamma and h -> gamma Z are discussed. Based on effective Lagrangian, describing h gamma gamma and h gamma Z interactions with CP-even and…
An analysis of the Higgs boson decay rates to $\gamma\gamma$ and $Z\gamma$ in the Inert Doublet Model is presented. We study the correlation between the two rates and perform extended analysis of the two-photon rate ($R_{\gamma\gamma}$). We…
The cross-section for $\gamma\gamma\to t \bar t$ with arbitrary polarized photons is calculated within the electroweak Standard Model including the complete virtual and soft-photonic $O(\alpha)$ corrections. We present a detailed numerical…
Using the left-right symmetric model as an illustrative example, we suggest a simple and straightforward way of constraining the $W'$ mass directly from the decay of the Higgs boson to two photons. The proposed method is generic and…
We consider the electroweak theory with an additional Higgs triplet at one loop using the hybrid renormalization scheme based on $\alpha_{\rm EM}$, $G_F$ and $M_Z$ as input observables. We show that in this scheme loop corrections can be…
We compute the two-loop BSM contributions to the $h\longrightarrow \gamma\gamma$ decay width in the SM extended with a real triplet of $SU(2)$. We consider scenarios in which the neutral components of doublet and triplet do not mix, so that…
The one-loop radiative corrections to the Higgs boson potential in the MSSM, originating from the top quark and squark loops, are summed in the leading log approximation using the renormalization group. The RG improved effective potential…
In this pedagogical note I will discuss one-loop integrals, where (i) different regions of the integration region lead to divergences and (ii) where these divergences cancel in the sum over all regions. These integrals cannot be calculated…
Higgs boson radiative decays of the form $H\rightarrow f\bar{f}\gamma$ are calculated in the Standard Model using the complete one-loop expressions for the decay amplitudes. Contributions to the radiative width from leptons and light quarks…
We study the Higgs-boson decays h0 -> b \bar{b}, h0 -> \gamma \gamma and h0 -> \gamma Z within the framework of the Two Higgs Doublet Model (THDM) in the context of the decoupling regime, together with tree level unitarity constraints. We…
Motivated by dark-photon $\bar{\gamma}$ scenarios extensively considered in the literature, we explore experimentally allowed models where the Higgs boson coupling to photon and dark photon $H\gamma\bar{\gamma}$ can be enhanced.…
The Standard-Model Higgs boson with mass $ M_H >> 2M_Z $ decays almost exclusively to pairs of $W$ and $Z$ bosons. We calculate the dominant two-loop corrections of $ O( G_F^2 M_H^4 )$ to the partial widths of these decays. In the…
The decay of the Higgs boson into two photons, $h \to \gamma \gamma$, is a loop-induced process within the Standard Model, predominantly mediated by loops of $W$ bosons and top quarks. While these leading contributions are well understood,…
In the two loop approximation, a renormalization group analysis of the Higgs boson mass is performed based on the condition $g^2=(5/3)g'^2=4\lambda$ for SU(2)_L, U(1)_Y gauge and the Higgs quartic coupling constants, respectively. This…
The ATLAS and CMS Collaborations reported that the observed number of Higgs boson decays into a $Z$ boson and a photon is $\mu = 2.2 \pm 0.7$ times higher than predicted by the Standard Model. Initially, this discrepancy was attributed to a…
