We study bounds on a neutral component of weak doublet scalar lepton. A typical example of such particle is sneutrinos in supersymmetric models. Using constraints from invisible Higgs decays we place a lower bound of approximately $m_h/2$.…
We explore systematically, in a general two Higgs doublet model, the possibility, that bound systems of scalar bosons do exist. We find a wide region of parameter space in the scalar potential for which S-wave bound states of Higgs bosons…
We propose a supersymmetric extension of the standard model which is a realistic alternative to the MSSM, and which has several advantages. No ``mu'' supersymmetric Higgs/Higgsino mass parameter is needed for sufficiently heavy charginos.…
An upper bound on the tree-level mass of the lightest Higgs boson of the Supersymmetric Singlet Majoron Model is obtained. Contrary to some recent claims, it is shown to be of the same form as the general mass bound previously calculated…
We calculate the dissipation of the baryon number after the electroweak phase transition due to thermal fluctuations above the sphaleron barrier. We consider not only the classical Boltzmann factor but also fermionic and bosonic one-loop…
We consider the Higgs sector in an extension of the MSSM involving an extra U(1)' gauge symmetry and SM singlet U(1)' charged scalars, in which the effective $\mu$ parameter is decoupled from the Z' mass. There are large mixings between…
We analyze focus points in supersymmetric theories, where a parameter's renormalization group trajectories meet for a family of ultraviolet boundary conditions. We show that in a class of models including minimal supergravity, the up-type…
The LEP-II bound on the light Higgs mass rules out the vast majority of parameter space left to the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with weak-scale soft-masses. This suggests the importance of exploring extensions of the MSSM…
We investigate a supersymmetric extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), called the TNMSSM, containing a $SU(2)$ Higgs triplet $(\hat{T})$ of $Y=0$ hypercharge and a singlet superfields $(\hat{S})$ in the corresponding…
We study the possible boundary conditions of scalar field modes in a hyperscaling violation(HV) geometry with Lifshitz dynamical exponent $z (z\geqslant1)$ and hyperscaling violation exponent $\theta (\theta\neq0)$. For the case with…
Results from helically symmetric scalar field models and first results from a convergent helically symmetric binary neutron star code are reported here; these are models stationary in the rotating frame of a source with constant angular…
The Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (NMSSM) with a Higgs boson of mass 125 GeV can be compatible with stop masses of order of the electroweak scale, thereby reducing the degree of fine-tuning necessary to…
We study the possibility of relaxing the cosmological bound on the Higgs mass coming from the requirement of non-erasure of the baryon asymmetry by sphalerons. After reviewing the Standard Model case we obtain this bound in two extensions…
We present a detailed discussion of the particle spectrum of the Non-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM), containing two Higgs doublets and a singlet, in the limit $\tan\beta \simeq m_t/m_b$. This is compared with the…
The effective potential at finite temperature is constructed within the minimal standard model when a real Higgs singlet is added on. We find that a region of parameter space exists for which one can find a first order transition strong…
We consider level crossing in the background of the sphaleron barrier for nondegenerate fermions. The mass splitting within the fermion doublets allows only for an axially symmetric ansatz for the fermion fields. In the background of the…
Higgs singlet superfields, usually present in extensions of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) which address the $\mu$-problem, such as the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) and the Minimal Nonminimal…
We investigate the conditions imposable on a scalar field at the boundary of the so- called Lifshitz spacetime which has been proposed as the dual to Lifshitz field theories. For effective mass squared between -(d+z-1)^2/4 and…
The next-to-minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (NMSSM) is one of the most favored supersymmetric models. After an introduction to the model, the Higgs sector and the neutralino sector are discussed in detail.…
We find the parameters of the MSSM in terms of bulk supergravity fields for the D-brane model of Berenstein, Jejjala and Leigh (hep-ph/0105042). The model consists of a D3-brane at the singularity of a non-abelian orbifold \Delta_{27},…
