We calculate the decay branching fractions of the Higgs boson to $J/\psi$ and $\eta_c$ via the charm-quark fragmentation mechanism for the color-singlet and color-octet states in the framework of non-relativistic QCD. The decay rates are…
We present an analytic formula for the $O(\alpha_s)$ corrections to the decay $t\to H^+b$ for nonzero $m_H$ and $m_b$. The Equivalence Theorem is used to relate these corrections to those for the process $t\to W^+b$. Contrary to previously…
We compute the two-loop QCD corrections to the neutral Higgs-boson masses in the MSSM, including the effect of non-vanishing external momenta in the self-energies. We obtain corrections of O(alpha_t*alpha_s) and O(alpha*alpha_s), i.e., all…
In the decoupling limit of a non-minimal Higgs sector, the lightest CP-even Higgs boson (h) is indistinguishable from the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson. In the two-Higgs-doublet sector of the MSSM, the approach to the decoupling limit…
We present new calculations of the differential decay rates for $H\to \ell^+\ell^- \gamma$ with $\ell=e$ or $\mu$ in the Standard Model. The branching fractions and forward-backward asymmetries, defined in terms of the flight direction of…
The decays of the negative $G$-parity meson $J/\psi$ into even numbers of pions violate $G$-parity. Such decays, as well as other $G$-parity decays into hadrons, can be parametrized in terms of three main intermediate virtual states: one…
The recent calculation of the next-to-leading order electroweak corrections to the decay of the Standard Model Higgs boson to two photons in the framework of the complex-mass scheme is briefly summarized.
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…
The experimental determination of the partial width $\Gamma (H \longrightarrow \gamma \gamma)$ of an intermediate mass Higgs is among the most important measurements at a future photon photon collider. Recently it was shown that large…
We discuss the non-decoupling effects on the loop-induced $H^\pm W^\mp Z^0$ vertex in the general two Higgs-doublet model. The decay process $H^\pm \to W^\pm Z^0$ is analyzed at one-loop level and possible enhancement of the decay width is…
We discuss the implications of assuming a four-zero Yukawa texture for the charged Higgs decay $H^+ \to W^+ \gamma$ at one-loop level, within the context of the general 2-Higgs Doublet Model of Type III. We begin by presenting a detailed…
It is remarkable that the measured Higgs boson mass is so close to the value which maximizes the Higgs decay rate to photons as predicted by the Standard Model. In this work we explore the consequences to assume that an $\sim 125$ GeV Higgs…
We present an alternative calculation for the leading Higgs mass dependent one--loop corrections to the standard model Lagrangian, using a background field technique. Cross--sections computed from our one--loop Lagrangian provide a check of…
The principle of maximum conformality (PMC) provides a convenient way for setting the optimal renormalization scales for high-energy processes, which can eliminate the conventional renormalization scale error via an order-by-order manner.…
We reconsider gravitational corrections to vacuum decay, confirming and simplifying earlier results and extending them by allowing for a non-minimal coupling of the Higgs to gravity. We find that leading-order gravitational corrections…
Loop-induced decay of a neutral Higgs boson into a pair of gluons or photons has great implications for the Higgs discovery at the LHC. If the Higgs boson is heavy with mass above $\sim 500\gev$, however, these radiative branching ratios…
We interpret the recent excess in a rare decay of the Higgs boson, $H\to Z\gamma$, using a light axion-like particle (ALP) in the massrange $0.05 - 0.1$ GeV.The dominant decay of such a light ALP is into a pair of collimated photons, whose…
The effective Lagrangian including one loop corrections is deduced for the couplings of the charged Higgs with quarks and leptons, and with charginos and neutralinos. The effect of the one loop corrections is found to be quite significant…
We show that the S parameter is not finite in theories of electroweak symmetry breaking in a slice of anti--de Sitter five-dimensional space, with the light fermions localized in the ultraviolet. We compute the one-loop contributions to S…
If the Higgs boson were the only particle within the LHC accessible range, precision measurement of the Higgs's properties would play a unique role in studying electroweak symmetry breaking as well as possible new physics. We try to use low…
