We study the implications of a criterion of naturalness for a simple two Higgs doublet model in the context of the discovery of a Higgs like particle with a mass at 125 GeV. This condition which measures the amount of fine tuning further…
We explore the generation of fermion masses and quark mixing angles within flavored gauge mediation models of supersymmetry breaking in which the Higgs and messenger doublets are connected by a discrete non-Abelian symmetry. In this…
Models with two-Higgs-doublets and natural flavour conservation contain $\tan \beta = v_2 / v_1$ as a physical parameter. We offer here a generalization of a recently proposed idea where only the Cabibbo angle, $\theta_\text{c} \simeq…
Arguments coming from Quantum Field Theory are supplemented with a 1-loop perturbative calculation to settle the non-unitarity of mixing matrices linking renormalized mass eigenstates to bare flavor states for non-degenerate coupled…
We review the present knowledge of the Standard Model that is relevant in formulating its possible short distance extensions. We present different scenarios in terms of the Higgs mass, the only unknown parameter of the model. We concentrate…
Arbitrary regularization dependent parameters in Quantum Field Theory are usually fixed on symmetry or phenomenology grounds. We verify that the quadratically divergent behavior responsible for the lack of naturalness in the Standard Model…
We examine the problem of generation mixing in realistic superstring derived standard--like models, constructed in the free fermionic formulation. We study the possible sources of family mixing in these models . In a specific model we…
We consider the Renormalization Group Equations (RGE) for the couplings of the Standard Model and its extensions. Using the hierarchy of the quark masses and of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix our argument is that a consistent…
The ratio $\Delta m_K/m_K$ within the standard model with 3 generations is calculated as a function of the CP nonconserving phase $\delta_{13}$ and the quark masses $m_c,m_t$ assuming the current values of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa…
We present the complete one-loop corrected Higgs mass within the Standard Model. It is crucial to identify the observable mass as the renormalized one that depends on the external momentum. The correction is finite and dominated by the…
We investigate the general two Higgs doublet model imposing both the unitarity conditions and the bounded-from-below conditions. Both types of conditions restrict the ranges of the parameters of the scalar potential. We study the model in…
A very specific two-Higgs-doublet extension of the Glashow-Salam-Weinberg model for one generation of quarks is advocated for, in which the two doublets are parity transformed of each other and both isomorphic to the Higgs doublet of the…
We analyze the renormalization group equations for the Standard Model at the one and two loops levels. At one loop level we find an exact constant of evolution built from the product of the quark masses and the gauge couplings $g_{1}$ and $…
We investigate the radiative generation of lepton masses and mixing angles in the Standard Model extended by one right-handed neutrino and one extra Higgs doublet. We assume approximate rank-1 Yukawa couplings at a high energy scale and we…
The Dualized Standard Model offers a natural explanation for Higgs fields and 3 generations of fermions plus a perturbative method for calculating SM parameters. By adjusting only 3 parameters, 14 quark and lepton masses and mixing…
It is shown that realistic models can be constructed in which the Standard Model Higgs field is in a non-trivial multiplet of a non-abelian family group of the quarks and leptons. It is shown that the observed quark and lepton masses and…
Constraints on the two Higgs doublet model are presented, assuming a top mass of 174 $\pm$ 17 GeV. We concentrate primarily on the ``type II'' model, where up--type quarks receive their mass from one Higgs doublet, and down--type quarks…
From two different modifications of the Gell-Mann-Okubo mass relation for (1/2)^+ baryons: the first one given by a version of diquark-quark model and the second one being the optimal mass sum rule obtained by using quantum groups U_q(su_n)…
The Higgs sector of models beyond the standard model requires special attention and study, since through them, a natural explanation can be offered to current questions such as the big differences in the values of the masses of the quarks…
We present an update of the branching ratios for Higgs-boson decays in the Standard Model. We list results for all relevant branching ratios together with corresponding uncertainties resulting from input parameters and missing higher-order…
