A method using jets is investigated for detecting the Higgs boson at LHC in the mass range about 114 \GeVc2, suggested by LEP experiments. Higgs bosons are produced in association with a $t \bar{t}$ pair, and both t and $\bar{t}$ decay…
We study the scope of the Large Hadron Collider in accessing a neutral Higgs boson of the $B-L$ Supersymmetric Standard Model. After assessing the surviving parameter space configurations following the Run 1 data taking, we investigate the…
A Higgs boson with mass below 150 GeV has a total decay width of less than 20 MeV into accessible Standard Model states. This narrow width means that the usual branching fractions for such a light Higgs boson are highly susceptible to any…
The production of a Standard Model Higgs boson in association with a top quark pair at the upcoming high luminosity run (15 inverse fb integrated luminosity) of the Fermilab Tevatron (root s = 2.0 TeV) is revisited. For Higgs masses below…
Search for light (within the mass range 84-200 GeV) doubly-charged Higgs bosons decaying into a pair of W-bosons has been deemed challenging using the conventional LHC searches with leptons, jets and missing transverse momentum in the final…
Fermiophobic Higgs bosons $h_f$ exhibiting large branching ratios to two photons can arise in models with two or more scalar doublets and/or triplets. In such models the conventional production mechanisms at hadron colliders may be rendered…

A search is performed for a Higgs boson, decaying into two photons, using the L3 data collected at centre of mass energies between $\sqrt s$ = 189 and 202 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 400 pb$^{-1}$. The processes…
Determining if the SM-like Higgs is part of an extended Higgs sector is the most important question to be asked after discovery. A light charged Higgs boson with mass smaller than the sum of top and bottom quarks is naturally allowed in…
We reexamine the prospects for searching for a neutral Higgs boson in the intermediate-mass range and physics beyond the standard model, using the proton- and ion-beam facilities of the LHC to study coherent two-photon processes.…

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…
Results are presented for beyond the Standard Model Higgs boson searches using up to 8.2 invfb of data from Run II at the Tevatron. No significant excess is observed in any of the channels so 95% confidence level limits are presented.
