The LHC is well on track toward the discovery or exclusion of a light Standard Model (SM)-like Higgs boson. Such a Higgs has a very small SM width and can easily have large branching fractions to physics beyond the SM, making Higgs decays…
Concentrating on the impact of the very recent top quark discovery, we perform a combined analysis of two strongest constraints on the 2 Higgs doublet model, one coming from the recent measurement by CLEO on the inclusive branching ratio of…

The discovery of a 125 GeV Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider strongly motivates direct searches for additional Higgs bosons. In a type I two Higgs doublet model there is a large region of parameter space at $\tan\beta > 5$ that is…
It is important to study extended models containing more than one physical Higgs boson in the spectrum. In particular, Two Higgs Doublet Models (2HDMs) are attractive extensions of the SM, predicting new phenomena with the fewest new…
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…
We search for the neutral Higgs sector of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model at LEP 2. At the tree level any experimental constraints on $\tan \beta$ cannot be set by the Higgs search at LEP 2 with $\sqrt{s}$ = 175 GeV,…
Upper limits on the cross-section of the pair-production process e+e- -> h0A0 assuming 100% decays into hadrons, are derived from a new search for the h0A0 -> hadrons topology, independent of the hadronic flavour of the decay products.…
We study constraints on type-II two Higgs doublet models at large tan{beta} from LEP/SLD Z-pole data and from lepton universality violation in W decay. We perform a global fit and find that, in the context of Z decay, the LEP/SLD…
The excluded tan(beta) range and Higgs boson mass regions in the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) depend on several parameters. The Higgs boson masses, cross-sections and branching fractions…
We explore the phenomenology of a two Higgs doublet model where both Higgs doublets couple to up-type and down-type fermions with couplings determined by the minimal flavor violation ansatz. This 2HDM "Type MFV" generalizes 2HDM Types I-IV,…
By borrowing the results from a Large Hadron Collider (LHC) analysis performed with $36.1~\text{fb}^{-1}$ of Run 2 data intended to search for $A$ production followed by $ZH$ decay in turn yielding $l^+l^-b\bar b$ ($l=e,\mu$) final states…
We consider a Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) constrained by the condition that assures cancellation of quadratic divergences up to the leading two-loop order. Regions in the parameter space consistent with existing experimental constraints…
