As one of the key properties of the Higgs boson, the Higgs total width is sensitive to global profile of the Higgs boson couplings, and thus new physics would modify the Higgs width. We investigate the total width in various new physics…
Current limits from the Large Hadron Collider exclude a standard model-like Higgs mass above 150 GeV, by placing an upper bound on the Higgs production rate. We emphasize that, alternatively, the limit could be interpreted as a lower bound…

The radiative decay width of a heavy Higgs boson $H \rightarrow W^+W^-\gamma$ for a {\it hard} photon is calculated in the Standard Model and its extension with anomalous $\gamma WW$ couplings. Its dependence on the Higgs mass, the two…

We discuss an alternative version of the electroweak standard model, in which only the heavy t quark, not the light fermions, couples to the Higgs boson with a strength given by the standard model. The Higgs particle decays dominantly into…
We report the first analytic calculation of the Higgs boson decay width to gluons up to next-to-leading order in quantum chromodynamics including full dependence on the bottom and charm quark masses. The interference between top- and…
We discuss possible non-standard contributions to the top-quark width, particularly the virtual effects on the standard decay $t\rightarrow W^+\,b$ within the context of the MSSM. We also place a renewed emphasis on the unconventional mode…
We show that it is possible to construct models in which the width of the Higgs boson is arbitrary - either smaller or larger than a standard model Higgs boson of the same mass. There are no new fields into which the Higgs boson decays.…
Motivated by evidence that the top quark mass lies near the $bWZ$ threshold, we compute the decay rate for $t\rightarrow bWZ$ in the Standard Model, including the effects of the finite widths of the $W$ and $Z$ bosons. In the limit where…
The Higgs boson decay into a pair of real or virtual W bosons, with one of them decaying leptonically, is predicted within the Standard Model to have the largest branching fraction of all Higgs decays that involve an isolated electron or…
To know the total width of the recently discovered Higgs boson particle, it is important to measure the invisible decay width of the Higgs boson. However, the signal for this measurement at the LHC, i.e., a charged lepton pair and missing…
Both Atlas and CMS have reported a discovery of a Standard Model-like Higgs boson $H$ of mass around 125 GeV. Consistency with the Standard Model implies the non-observation of non-SM like decay modes of the newly discovered particle.…

We examine, in a number of Standard Model extensions, whether the decays $A \to WW/ZZ$ of a neutral pseudoscalar (Higgs) resonance can have branching ratios at the percent level and we determine the possible size of $B(A \to WW/ZZ)$…
