We review selected results for Higgs boson production at Linear Colliders in the framework of the general Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM). We concentrate on the analysis of i) the pairwise production of neutral Higgs bosons (hA,HA); and ii)…
The precise determination of the masses of the neutral and charged heavy Higgs bosons is a crucial input for the study of Supersymmetry and its relation with cosmology through dark matter. This paper presents a study of e+e- -> HA and H+H-…
For a Higgs boson below the $W^\pm$ threshold, the $\gamma \gamma$ collider option of a future linear $e^+ e^-$ machine is compelling. In this case one can measure the ``gold-plated'' loop induced $\Gamma (H \longrightarrow \gamma \gamma)$…

We study the Two Higgs Doublet Model of type II, set limits to the parameter $\tan\beta$ as a function of the mass of the charged Higgs $m_{H}$, and find interesting discovery channels in hadron colliders or muon colliders. We also obtain…
In the most general two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM), there is no distinction between the two complex hypercharge-one SU(2) doublet scalar fields, Phi_a (a=1,2). Thus, any two orthonormal linear combinations of these two fields can serve as a…
After operations at the LHC and e^+e^- Linear Colliders it may be found that a Standard-Model-like scenario is realized. In this scenario no new particle will be discovered, except a single Higgs boson having partial widths or coupling…
We analyze the prospects for detecting the three neutral Higgs bosons of the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model in the intense-coupling regime at e+e- colliders. Due to the small mass differences between the Higgs states…
Heavy charged Higgs bosons ($H^\pm$) of a Type II 2-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) can be detected at future electron-positron Linear Colliders (LCs) even when their mass is larger than half the collider energy. The single Higgs mode $e^+e^-\to…
We review the theory of Higgs bosons, with emphasis on the Higgs scalars of the Standard Model and its non-supersymmetric and supersymmetric extensions. After surveying the expected knowledge of Higgs boson physics after the Tevatron and…
