We study the Higgs sector of the U(1)'-extended MSSM with CP violation. This is an extension of the MSSM Higgs sector by one singlet field, introduced to generate the \mu term dynamically. We are particularly interested in non-standard…
We study an extension of the Standard Model (SM) in which two copies of the SM Higgs doublet are added to the scalar sector. These extra doublets do not develop a vacuum expectation value, hence, they are \textit{inert}. This essentially…
We study resonant CP violation in the Higgsstrahlung process e^+e^- -> H_{1,2,3} (Z -> e^+e^-, \mu^+\mu^-) and subsequent decays H_{1,2,3} -> b \bar{b}, \tau^-\tau^+, in the MSSM with Higgs-sector CP violation induced by radiative…
In two Higgs doublet models (2HDM), there exists an interesting possibility, the hidden light Higgs scenario, that the discovered SM-like Higgs boson is the heavier \textit{CP}-even Higgs boson $H^0$ and the lighter \textit{CP}-even $h^0$…
In this work we study the production and decay of two CP-even Higgs bosons in the general CP-conserving two-Higgs doublet model at the LHC. We also study the limiting case of the decoupling scenario. For each Yukawa version of the model, we…
A short review of the theory and phenomenology of Higgs bosons is given, with focus on the Standard Model (SM) and the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM). The potential for Higgs boson discovery at the Tevatron…
Decays into neutralinos and charginos are among the most accessible supersymmetric decay modes of Higgs particles in most supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. In the presence of explicitly CP--violating phases in the soft…
We study the discovery reach of the Tevatron and the LHC for detecting a Higgs boson (h), predicted in composite models of the electroweak symmetry breaking or in supersymmetric theories, with an enhanced b-quark Yukawa coupling via p…
We demonstrate that decay angle correlations in $\taum\taup$ and $t\anti t$ decay modes could allow a determination of whether or not a neutral Higgs boson is a CP eigenstate. Sensitivity of the correlations is illustrated in the case of…
We study the central diffractive production of the (three neutral) Higgs bosons, with a rapidity gap on either side, in an MSSM scenario with CP-violation. We consider the bb-bar and tautau-bar decay for the light H_1 boson and the four…

One of the main endeavors at future high-energy colliders is the search for the Higgs boson(s) and, once found, the probe of the fundamental properties. In particular, the charge conjugation and parity (CP) quantum numbers have to be…
We study CP violation in a multi-Higgs doublet model based on a $S_3 \times Z_3$ horizontal symmetry. We consider two mechanisms for CP violation in this model: a) CP violation due to complex Yukawa couplings; and b) CP violation due to…
We consider spontaneous CP violation in the Next to Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, without the usual $Z_3$ discrete symmetry. CP violation can occur at tree level, raising a potential conflict with the experimental bounds on the…
CP violation is one of Sakharov's conditions for the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe. The experimentally observed size of CP violation is insufficient to account for this. Is CP violated in the Higgs sector? Could the SM-like…
We report on the possibility of observing Higgs sector CP violation of the minimal supersymmetric standard model at a hadron machine. The CP phase dependent cross-sections for the $VH_i$ associated production processes are given for the…
In this paper, we study the extent to which CP parity of a Higgs boson, and more generally its anomalous couplings to gauge bosons, can be measured at the LHC and a future electron-positron collider. We consider several processes, including…
We analyze the prospect for observing the intermediate neutral Higgs ($h_2$) boson in its decay to two lighter Higgs bosons ($h_1$) at the Tevatron in the framework of the CP violating MSSM using the PYTHIA event generator. We consider the…
We consider an Abelian model with a CP-conserving Higgs potential spanned by two complex Higgs fields. The CP invariance of the Higgs potential is then broken explicitly beyond the Born approximation by introducing soft-CP-violating Yukawa…
We introduce and explore new heavy Higgs scenarios in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with explicit CP violation, which have important phenomenological implications that may be testable at the LHC. For soft…
