We present a one-loop analysis of the pairwise production of neutral Higgs bosons (h0A0, H0A0) at linear colliders, such as the ILC and CLIC, within the general Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM). We single out sizable radiative corrections,…
The multiple point principle (MPP) can be used to suppress non--diagonal flavour transitions and CP violation in the two Higgs doublet extension of the standard model. We discuss the quasi--fixed point scenario in the MPP inspired two Higgs…
We consider QCD tt~Z production at the LHC with Z->\bar\nu\nu and all-hadronic tt~ decays, i.e. pp -> p_T(miss)bb~+4 jets, as a tool to measure ttZ couplings. This channel has a significantly larger cross section than those where the Z…
