We perform an analysis of the Renormalization Group evolution of the couplings in an extension to the Standard Model which contains a real triplet in the Higgs sector. Insisting that the model remain valid up to 1 TeV allow us to map out…
We examine the potential of the LHC to observe the scalar radial excitation present in extensions of the standard model where the Higgs boson is a pseudo Nambu Golstone boson. These include composite Higgs models as well as the twin Higgs…
For a Standard Model Higgs boson with mass between 115 GeV and 150 GeV, the two-photon decay mode is important for discovery at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We describe the interactions of a light Higgs boson in a more model-independent…
An updated global analysis within the Standard Model (SM) of all relevant electroweak precision and Higgs boson search data is presented with special emphasis on the implications for the Higgs boson mass, M_H. Included are, in particular,…
We study direct searches of additional Higgs bosons in multi-top-quarks events at the LHC Run-II, its luminosity upgraded version with 3000 fb$^{-1}$, and the International Linear Collider (ILC) with the collision energy of 1 TeV.…
A search for the standard model Higgs boson in the H to ZZ to 2l 2nu decay channel, where l = e or mu, in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV is presented. The data were collected at the LHC, with the CMS detector, and…
Future precision measurements of the Standard Model (SM) parameters at the proposed $Z$-factories and Higgs factories may have significant impacts on new physics beyond the Standard Model in the electroweak sector. We illustrate this by…
In order to identify the Higgs sector using future precision data, we calculate the partial decay widths of the discovered Higgs boson with the mass of 125 GeV into fermion pairs and gauge-boson pairs with one-loop electroweak and one-loop…
Depending on the Higgs-boson and top-quark masses, $M_H$ and $M_t$, the effective potential of the {\bf Standard Model} can develop a non-standard minimum for values of the field much larger than the weak scale. In those cases the standard…
Tree-level unitarity constraints on the masses of the Higgs bosons in the general Two Higgs Doublet Model (THDM) are studied. We first consider the case where the Higgs potential is invariant under a discrete symmetry transformation, and…
The data accumulated so far confirm the Higgs-like nature of the new boson discovered at the LHC. The Standard Model Higgs hypothesis is compatible with the collider results and no significant deviations from the Standard Model have been…
We investigate the correlation between a possible deviation in the discovered Higgs boson $h(125)$ couplings from the Standard Model prediction and the mass scale ($M_{\text{2nd}}$) of the next-to-lightest Higgs boson in models with…
Measurements of a Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have become increasingly consistent with the predictions of the Standard Model (SM). This fact puts severe constraints on many potential low-energy extensions of the Higgs…
A preliminary combined mass limit of about 90 GeV has been reported for the Minimal Standard Model Higgs boson from the 183 GeV data taken in 1997, with a total luminosity of about 200 pb-1. Similar mass limits have been reported from the…
The one-Higgs-doublet standard model is necessarily incomplete because of the triviality of the scalar symmetry-breaking sector. If the Higgs mass is approximately 600 GeV or higher, there must be additional dynamics at a scale $\Lambda$…
We consider a minimal extension of the standard model where a real, gauge singlet scalar field is added to the standard spectrum. Introducing the Ansatz of universality of scalar couplings, we are led to a scenario which has a set of very…
A summary of the Higgs boson searches by the ATLAS and CMS collabrations using 1 f b-1 of LHC data is presented, concentrating on the Standard Model Higgs boson. Both experiments have the sensitivity to exclude at 95% CL a Standard Model…
We re-examine the lower bound on the mass of the Higgs boson, $M_H$, from Standard Model vacuum stability including next-to-leading-log radiative corrections. This amounts to work with the full one-loop effective potential, $V(\phi)$,…
Present data do not rule out the light neutral Higgs particle $h$ or $A$ with mass below 40--50 GeV in the framework of the general 2HDM ("Model II"). The recent limits from LEP I on the parameters of the model, based on the Bjorken process…
In this proceeding, I discuss several models that extend the scalar sector of the Standard Model by additional matter states. I here focus on results for models with singlet extensions, which have been obtained recently and update some of…
