We update instability and metastability bounds of the Standard Model electroweak vacuum in view of the recent ATLAS and CMS Higgs results. For a Higgs mass in the range 124--126 GeV, and for the current central values of the top mass and…
We perform an analysis of the Renormalization Group evolution of the couplings in an extension to the Standard Model which contains a real triplet in the Higgs sector. Insisting that the model remain valid up to 1 TeV allow us to map out…
Using a combination of renormalisation group and effective potential methods, we discuss the bound on the lightest CP-even Higgs boson mass $m_h$ in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model. We find $m_h\leq 146,139,149 \ GeV$ for…
We explore naturalness constraints on the masses of the heavy Higgs bosons H^0, H^+/-, and A^0 in supersymmetric theories. We show that, in any extension of MSSM which accommodates the 125 GeV Higgs at the tree level, one can derive an…
After a general discussion about the quantitative meaning of the naturalness upper bounds on the masses of supersymmetric particles, we compute these bounds in models with gauge-mediated soft terms. We find interesting upper limits on the…
In this talk we consider the modifications induced by heavy physics on the triviality and vacuum stability bounds on the Higgs-boson mass. We parameterize the heavy interactions using an effective Lagrangian and find that the triviality…
We discuss the upper bound on the gluino mass in supersymmetric models with vector-like extra matters. In order to realize the observed Higgs mass of 125 GeV, the gluino mass is bounded from above in supersymmetric models. With the…
We show that the standard-model Higgs boson mass m_h is correlated with the spectral index of density perturbation n_s in the inflation scenario with the inflaton being identified with the B-L Higgs boson. The Higgs boson mass ranges from…
The restrictions on the lightest Higgs boson mass in the minimal supersymmetric models are briefly reviewed. The particle spectrum is considered in the framework of the simplest modification of NMSSM that allows to avoid the domain wall…
We perform a renormalisation group analysis of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model (NMSSM) based on the following constraints: two-loop gauge coupling unification at a variable scale $M_X$, running the gauge couplings through…
We consider the neutralino mass matrix in a supersymmetric theory based on SU(2) $\times$ U(1) gauge group with arbitrary number of singlet, doublet and triplet Higgs superfields. We derive an upper bound on the mass of the lightest…
We take the standard model to be an effective theory including higher dimensional operators suppressed by scale $\Lambda$ and re-examine the higgs mass bounds from the requirements of vacuum stability. Our results show that the effects of…
In general electroweak models with weakly coupled (and otherwise arbitrary) Higgs sector there always exists in the spectrum a scalar state with mass controlled by the electroweak scale. A new and simple recipe to compute an analytical…
Extensions of GMSB models were explored to explain the recent reports of the Higgs boson mass around 124-126 GeV. Some models predict a large mu term, which can spoil the vacuum stability of the universe. We study two GMSB extensions: i)…
In this paper we express the effect of new physics on gauge boson self energy corrections through non-renormalizable dimension six operators. Using the precision electroweak data we then determine a lower bound on the scale ${\l}$…
In the two loop approximation, a renormalization group analysis of the Higgs boson mass is performed based on the condition $g^2=(5/3)g'^2=4\lambda$ for SU(2)_L, U(1)_Y gauge and the Higgs quartic coupling constants, respectively. This…
We study the properties of heavy fermions in the vector-like representation of the electro-weak gauge group $SU(2)_W\times U(1)_Y$ with Yukawa couplings to the standard model Higgs boson. Applying the renormalization group analysis, we…
We consider the implications of the CDF collaboration high-precision measurement of the W boson mass on models with a non-standard Higgs. We show that this requires an enhancement of 3-10% in the non-standard Higgs coupling to the gauge…
Renormalization group analysis is made on the relation $m_{\rm H} \simeq \sqrt{2}m_t$ for masses of the top quark and the Higgs boson, which is predicted by the standard model based on generalized covariant derivatives with gauge and Higgs…
