The measurements performed at LEP and SLC have substantially improved the precision of the test of the Minimal Standard Model. The precision is such that there is sensitivity to pure weak radiative corrections. This allows to indirectly…
A compact approximation formula for the mass of the lightest neutral CP-even Higgs boson, m_h, in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) is derived from the diagrammatic two-loop result for m_h up to O(alpha alpha_s). By…
In the high-scale (split) MSSM, the measured Higgs mass sets an upper bound on the supersymmetric scalar mass scale MSUSY around $10^{11}$ ($10^{8}$) GeV, for $\tan\beta$ in the standard range and the central value of the top quark mass…
These final results from DELPHI searches for the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson, together with benchmark scans of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) neutral Higgs bosons, used data taken at centre-of-mass energies between 200…
We present the results of a first global fit to the electroweak observables in the MSSM. The best fit selects either very low or very large values of ~$\tan\beta$ ~and, correspondingly, chargino (higgsino--like) and stop or the ~$CP-$odd…
I review constraints on the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson from high energy electroweak (EW) precision data. The same data set also strongly limits various mixing effects of hypothetical extra neutral gauge bosons (Z') with the ordinary Z.…
In order to reproduce the measured mass of the Higgs boson mh = 125GeV in the minimal supersymmetric standard model, one usually has to rely on heavy stops, increasing the fine tuning of the electroweak scale. By introducing a new gauge…
Recently it has been recognized that in compactified string/M-theories that satisfy cosmological constraints, it is possible to derive some robust and generic predictions for particle physics and cosmology with very mild assumptions. When…

We demonstrate a measurement of the Higgs boson mass by the method of energy scanning at photon-photon colliders, using the high energy edge of the photon spectrum. With an integrated luminosity of 50 $\rm{fb^{-1}}$ it is possible to…
We perform a detailed comparison of the present LEP data with the one-loop standard-model predictions. It is pointed out that for $m_t= 174$ GeV the ``bulk'' of the data prefers a rather large value of the Higgs mass in the range 500-1000…
Electroweak precision measurements can provide indirect information about the possible scale of supersymmetry already at the present level of accuracy. We update the present-day sensitivities of precision data using the new experimental…
We propose a novel mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking in supersymmetric models, as the one recently discussed by Birkedal, Chacko and Gaillard, in which the Standard Model Higgs doublet is a pseudo-Goldstone boson of some global…
A global analysis is performed using the latest data from LEP and SLC. Constraints on the electroweak universal parameters ($S,T,U$) and on the masses of the top quark and Higgs boson within the Standard Model (SM) are investigated. The…
Accepting the existence of a SM-like Higgs boson in the range 123GeV-127GeV as indicated by the observed ga,ga events, there are two distinct regions left in the Minimal Supersymmetric (SUSY) Standard Model (MSSM) Higgs sector: (a) the…

Using an effective potential approach, we compute two-loop radiative corrections to the MSSM lightest ${\cal CP}$-even Higgs boson mass $M_{h^0}$ to ${\cal O}(\alpha_t^2)$ for arbitrary left-right top-squark mixing and $\tan\beta$. We find…
The recent discovery of a Higgs-like boson at the LHC with a mass of 126 GeV has revived the interest in supersymmetric models, which predicted a Higgs boson mass below 130 GeV long before its discovery. We compare systematically the…
Until recently precision electroweak computations were fundamentally uncertain due to lack of knowledge about the existence of the Standard Model Higgs boson and its mass. For this reason substantial calculational machinery had to be…
