Little Higgs models provides us a new solution of the {\it hierarchy problem} of the SM. The problem is associated with the large difference in scales of SM and plank scale. One of the main features of these models is the existence of a…
The differences between the on-shell mass and width of the Higgs boson and their pole counterparts are evaluated in leading order. For a heavy Higgs boson, they are found to be sensitive functions of the gauge parameter and become…
We show that all the parameters which destabilize the weak scale can be taken around the weak scale in the MSSM without conflicting with the SM Higgs mass bound set by LEP experiment. The essential point is that if the lightest CP-even…
We first review the current status of the top mass determination paying attention to the difference between the MS-bar and pole masses. Then we present our recent result on the bare Higgs mass at a very high ultraviolet cutoff scale.
The proof of Higgs mechanism in a weakly coupled lattice gauge theory in $d \geqslant 2$ is revisited. A new power series cluster expansion is applied and the mass gap is shown to exist for the observable $F_{\mu\nu}$.
The allowed standard model Higgs mass range has been reduced to a region between 114 and 130 GeV or above 500 GeV, at the 99% confidence level, since the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) program started. Furthermore some of the experiments at…
Vacuum stability and metastability imply lower limits on the mass of the higgs boson in the Standard Model (SM). In contrast, we present an improved calculation of an upper limit on the lightest higgs mass in supersymmetric (susy) models,…
The scalar sector of the Standard Model is extended to include an arbitrary assortment of scalars. In the case where this assignment does not preserve $\rho=1$ at the tree-level, the departure from unity itself puts the most stringent…
A new method of solving the hierarchy problem in the SM has been proposed. This method leads to the so-called "Little Higgs" models. The ATLAS experiment at LHC has undertaken studies of the new particles predicted by these model: a heavy…
Electroweak Baryogenesis is a particularly attractive theoretical scenario, since it relies on physics which can be tested at present high energy collider facilities. Within the Standard Model, it has been shown that the requirement of…
Motivated by the recent precision measurements of the W boson mass and top quark mass, we test the Littlest Higgs model by confronting the prediction of M_W with the current and prospective measurements of M_W and M_t as well as through the…
These lectures provide a concise introduction to the so-called "Beyond the Standard Model"' physics, with particular emphasis on the problem of the microscopic origin of the Higgs mass term and of the Electro-Weak symmetry breaking scale in…
The discovery of the Higgs boson is both a milestone achievement for the Standard Model and an exciting probe of new physics beyond the SM. One of the most important properties of the Higgs is its mass, a number that has proven to be highly…
The present experimental and theoretical knowledge of the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking is reviewed. Data still favor a light Higgs boson, of a kind that can be comfortably accommodated in the Standard Model or in its Minimal…
We report on an attempt to solve the gauge hierarchy problem in the framework of higher dimensional gauge theories. Both classical Higgs mass and quadratically divergent quantum correction to the mass are argued to vanish. Hence the…
The main challenge in the Standard Model calculation of the mass and width difference in $D^0 - \bar D^0$ mixing is to estimate the size of SU(3) breaking. We prove that mixing occurs in the Standard Model only at second order in SU(3)…
The quadratic divergences in the scalar sector of the standard model are considered. Since the divergences are present also in the unbroken theory, a natural scale for the divergence formula is proposed to be at the scale of new physics.…
We briefly review recent progress in the analysis of the Higgs sector of the Minimal R-symmetric Supersymmetric Standard Model. Importance of the interplay between W and Higgs boson masses in constraining the parameter space of the model is…
We consider a general two Higgs doublet model which can simultaneously solve discrepancies in neutral B meson decay ($b\to s\ell \overline \ell$ distribution) and charged B meson decay ($b\to c\tau\overline\nu$) with a charged Higgs. The…
In supersymmetric extensions of the standard model there is no basic difference between Higgs and matter fields, which leads to the well known problem of potentially large baryon and lepton number violating interactions. Although these…
