The Higgs decay $H\to \gamma\gamma$ duo to the virtual $W$-loop effect is revisited in the unitary gauge by using the symmetry-preserving and divergent-behavior-preserving loop regularization method, which is realized in the four…
The one-loop calculation of the amplitude for the Higgs decay H-->\gamma\gamma\ due to virtual W's in the unitary gauge is presented. As the Higgs does not directly couple to the massless photons, the one-loop amplitude is finite. The…
We examine the contribution of W boson loops to the amplitude of the process H --> \gamma \gamma within the dispersion relation approach, taking up an issue raised in this context recently. We show that the non-vanishing limit of the…
The amplitude for Higgs decay to two photons is calculated in renormalizable and unitary gauges using dimensional regularization at intermediate steps. The result is finite, gauge independent, and in agreement with previously published…
We comment on the recently reiterated claim that the contribution of the W-boson loop to the Higgs boson decay into two photons leads to different expressions in the $R_\xi$ gauge and the unitary gauge. By applying a gauge-symmetry…
Since the photon has no mass, it does not couple directly to the Higgs particle. This implies that the one-loop correction to the decay H --> \gamma\gamma\ is necessarily finite. Therefore, this correction should be calculable without…
The imaginary part of the Feynman amplitude of the $W$-loop contribution to the Higgs decay into two gammas (viewed as a function of the square of the off shell Higgs momentum) is finite and unambiguous. It is presented as the product of an…
We discuss the computation of the Higgs boson decay amplitude to two photons through the W-loop using dispersion relations. The imaginary part of the form factor F_W(s) that parametrizes this decay is unambiguous in four dimensions. When it…
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…
The calculation of the two-loop corrections to the partial width of an intermediate-mass Higgs boson decaying into a pair of photons is reviewed. The main focus lies on the electroweak (EW) contributions. The sum of the EW corrections…
Future precision measurements of Higgs boson decays will determine the branching fraction for the decay into two photons with a precision at the one percent level. To fully exploit such measurements, equally precise theoretical predictions…
A new particle with proprieties similar to those of the Higgs boson in the Standard Model (SM) has been recently discovered. The biggest discrepancy is related to its diphoton decay, whose branching ratio seems to be around two times larger…
Two--photon decays of Higgs bosons are important channels for the search of these particles in the intermediate mass range at the $pp$ colliders LHC and SSC. Dynamical aspects of the Higgs coupling to two photons can also be studied by…
We analyze the coupling of CP-even and CP-odd Higgs bosons to a photon and a Z boson in extensions of the Standard Model. In particular, we study in detail the effect of charged Higgs bosons in two-Higgs doublet models, and the contribution…
I am commenting on the paper Gastmans, Wu and Wu, which recently obtained new support by a paper by Christova and Todorov, about a new calculation of the H --> gamma gamma rate mediated by the W boson loop, and the lack of decoupling of the…
A Higgs particle produced in association with a Z boson and decaying into two photons is searched for in the data collected by the L3 experiment at LEP. All possible decay modes of the Z boson are investigated. No signal is observed in…
A search for a Higgs boson decaying into a pair of electrons or muons and a photon is described. Higgs boson decays to a Z boson and a photon (H $\to$ Z$\gamma\to\ell\ell\gamma$, $\ell =$ e or $\mu$), or to two photons, one of which has an…
We consider the constraints, provided by the LHC results on Higgs boson decay into 2 photons and its production via gluon fusion, on the previously proposed Standard Model (SM) strongly bound state $S$ of 6 top quarks and 6 anti-top quarks.…
The couplings of Higgs particles to two photons are analyzed in the threshold region, where the Higgs mass is about twice the loop--particle mass leading to possible bound state formation. The amplitude of the pseudoscalar decay $A\to…
