We derive the leptonic neutral current in the simplest little Higgs model and compute the contribution of the model to the decay width $Z \to e^+e^-$. Using the precision electroweak data we obtain a strong lower bound $f\geq 5.6$ TeV at…

Production of the Standard Model Higgs-boson at the photon collider at TESLA is studied for the Higgs-boson masses above 170 GeV. By reconstructing WW and ZZ final states, not only the h to gamma-gamma partial width but also the phase of…
We present in analytic form the O(alpha_s^5) correction to the H->gg partial width of the standard-model Higgs boson with intermediate mass M_H<2M_t. Its knowledge is useful because the O(alpha_s^4) correction is sizeable (around 20%). For…
The decay of the Standard Model Higgs boson in the intermediate-mass range into gluons is considered where special emphasis is put on the influence of the leading electroweak corrections proportional to G_F m_t^2. An effective Lagrangian…

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…
We present in analytic form the three-loop O(\alpha_s^2) correction to the H -> gg partial width of the standard-model Higgs boson with intermediate mass M_H << 2 M_t. Its knowledge is required because the O(\alpha_s) correction is so…
A direct measurement of the total decay width of the W boson G_W is presented using 350 pb-1 of data from ppbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The width is determined by…
We investigate predictions on the triple Higgs boson couplings with radiative corrections in the model with an additional real singlet scalar field. In this model, the second physical scalar state ($H$) appears in addition to the Higgs…
I present the Standard Model calculation of the decay rate for b -> s g (g denotes a gluon) at next-to-leading logarithms (NLL). In order to get a meaningful physical result, the decay b -> s g g and certain contributions of b -> s \bar{f}…
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 study a simplified model of the SM Higgs boson decaying to a degenerate pair of scalars which travel a macroscopic distance before decaying to SM particles. This is the leading signal for many well-motivated solutions to the hierarchy…
The one-loop contributions to the decays of the $CP$-odd and $CP$-even scalar bosons $A\to Z\gamma\gamma$ and $\phi\to Z\gamma\gamma$ ($\phi=h,H$) are calculated within the framework of $CP$-conserving THDMs, where they are induced by box…
We study the decay of a heavy Higgs boson into a light Higgs pair at one loop in the singlet extension of the Standard Model. To this purpose, we construct several renormalization schemes for the extended Higgs sector of the model. We apply…
The phenomenology of the low scale U(1)_{B-L} extension of the standard model and its implications at LHC is presented. In this model, an extra gauge boson corresponding to B-L gauge symmetry and an extra SM singlet scalar (heavy Higgs) are…
We calculate the $S$-matrix element for the Higgs boson decay to a $Z$-boson and a photon, $h\to Z\gamma$, at one-loop in the Standard-Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) framework and in linear $R_{\xi}$-gauges. Our SMEFT expansion…
We consider an extension of the Standard Model by a real singlet scalar field with a $Z_2$-symmetric Lagrangian and spontaneous symmetry breaking with vacuum expectation value for the singlet. Considering the lighter of the two scalars of…
In the little Higgs model with T-parity (LHTM), the only tree-level kinematically allowed two-body decay of the Z_H boson is Z_H-> A_H H and thus one-loop induced two-body decays may have a significant rate. We study the Z_H-> \gamma A_H…
Since the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, detailed studies of its properties have been ongoing. Besides its mass, its width - related to its lifetime - is an important parameter. One way to determine this quantity is by measuring its…
