Abstract

Present data do not rule out the light neutral Higgs particle hh or AA with mass below 40--50 GeV in the framework of the general 2HDM ("Model II"). The recent limits from LEP I on the parameters of the model, based on the Bjorken process ZZhZ \to Z h, Higgs pair production ZAhZ \to A h and the Yukawa process ZffˉAZ \to f {\bar f} A (f=bf= b quark or τ\tau lepton) are presented. Including limits on Higgs bosons masses from LEP I data additional constraints on the allowed value for tanβ tan \beta for mass below 2 GeV, can be obtained from the existing (g2)μ(g-2)_{\mu} data. The improvement in the accuracy by factor 20 in the forthcoming (g2)μ(g-2)_{\mu} experiment E821 may lead to more stringent limits on mass of neutral Higgs boson up to 30 GeV, or even higher if the mass difference between hh and AA is larger than MZM_Z. The exclusion/discovery potential of the gluon-gluon fusion in epep collision at HERA is also discussed. Already for a luminosity Lep=25pb1 L_{ep} =25 pb^{-1} this measurement may lead to more stringent limits on tanβ tan \beta for the mass range 5-15 GeV, especially for the pseudoscalar case. In addition the possible search for very light Higgs particle in γγ\gamma \gamma fusion at low energy (10 GeV) LC is described. It may improve bounds considerably compared to the present limits for mass around between 1.5 and 8 GeV assuming the luminosity 10fb110 fb^{-1}.
