In models with an extended Higgs sector, such as the (N)MSSM, scalar states mix with one another. Yet, the concept of Higgs mixing is problematic at the radiative level, since it introduces both a scheme and a gauge dependence. In…
Recent results on Higgs searches at the LHC point towards the existence of a Higgs boson with mass of about 126 GeV whose diphoton decay rate tends to be larger than in the Standard Model. These results are in tension with natural MSSM…
The decay rate of the Higgs decay $H \to Z \gamma$ is evaluated at the one-loop level in the $SO(5)\times U(1)$ gauge-Higgs unification. Although an infinite number of loops with Kaluza-Klein states contribute to the decay amplitude, there…

The decays of a scalar particle, of either parity, into two photons or into two gravitons are evaluated. The effective interactions are of the form $\phi FF, \phi F\tilde{F}$ or $\phi RR,\phi R\tilde{R}$; in particular, Higgs boson decay…

We discuss the production and two-photon decay of the lightest Higgs boson (h) of the minimal supersymmetric standard model at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Since the observability of the signal is quite model dependent, we conduct a…
Considerable efforts have been dedicated to discovering a dark photon via the decay of the Higgs boson to a photon and an invisible particle. A subject that is still mostly unexplored is which properties of the dark photon could be measured…
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 exclusive decays of the Higgs boson to $B_c B_c$ and $B_c^\ast B_c^\ast$ pairs are studied. The hard parts of the decay amplitudes are estimated within the perturbative Standard Model up to one-loop corrections. The soft fusion of heavy…

The leading $m_H$ radiative correction to the Higgs decay width into a pair of weak vector bosons is calculated at the two--loop level, using the equivalence theorem in Landau gauge. The result indicates the breakdown of perturbation theory…
We study the change in the di-photon invariant mass distribution for Higgs boson decays to two photons, due to interference between the Higgs resonance in gluon fusion and the continuum background amplitude for gluon pair to photon pair.…
It is shown by explicit calculation that the one-loop mass renormalization of the Higgs boson in the standard model is gauge-independent. It could even be rendered finite if the following mass relationships were satisfied: $m_t^2 \simeq…
