Searches for new physics in the first year of running of LEP2, at energies of 161 and 172 GeV, are summarized. After a short review of WW results and their implications on new physics, searches for the Higgs boson and SUSY particles,…
The crucial search for the Higgs boson at future colliders is capable of discovering the Standard Model Higgs, but is not guaranteed to discover a Higgs that decays nonstandardly. Such new physics is motivated by many aspects; from…
Final results of the search for the Standard Model Higgs boson are presented for the data collected by the L3 detector at LEP at centre-of-mass energies up to about 209 GeV. These data are compared with the expectations of Standard Model…
For the first time at LEP most of the events will have four fermions in the finals state and we have the unique opportunity of testing a complete calculation with the experimental data, well beyond the usual approximation of computing…
Latest results from the LEP Collaboration on searches for neutral Higgs bosons predicted by the Standard Model and its minimal supersymmetric extension, the MSSM, are summarized.
We derive model-independent constraints on Higgs mass and couplings from associated signals for higher masses, accessible at LEP2. This work is motivated by the fact that, in many extensions of the standard model, the Higgs boson can have…
There could be a Higgs boson with a mass less than 100 GeV/c2 in the LEP data if its decay width and modes are not dominated by b quarks. At present, the quantum interference between signal and background processes has not been considered…
In the Standard Model (SM), the weak gauge bosons and fermions acquire mass through the Higgs mechanism. A lower limit on the SM Higgs mass of 114.4 GeV was obtained from the direct search at LEP. Although a single Higgs doublet is…
We review the standard Higgs boson physics and the search for higgs boson at LEP and LHC supercolliders
The present experimental and theoretical knowledge of the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking is reviewed. Data still favor a light Higgs boson, of a kind that can be comfortably accommodated in the Standard Model or in its Minimal…
We discuss the current status of theoretical and experimental constraints on the real Higgs singlet extension of the Standard Model. For the second neutral (non-standard) Higgs boson we consider the full mass range from 1 GeV to 1 TeV…
The results of the Higgs boson searches performed by the four LEP experiments at centre-of-mass energies between 189 GeV and 209 GeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2461 pb$^{-1}$ are presented here. Searches have been…
Extensive searches for new phenomena have been performed at LEP. The principal aspects and results of those not related to Higgs bosons are reviewed here.
We study the potential of LEP II to unravel the existence of invisibly decaying Higgs bosons, predicted in a wide class of models. We perform a model independent analysis, focusing our attention to the final state topologies exhibiting $b…
Analyses of the vacuum stability of the electroweak theory indicate that new physics occur at a scale of order of 1 TeV if a light Higgs is discovered at LEP II. In this paper, we parameterize the effects of new physics in the effective…
A search for the Standard Model Higgs boson with the OPAL detector at LEP was reported. The analysis was based on the full data sample collected at center-of-mass energies of 192-209 GeV in 1999 and 2000, corresponding to an integrated…
In the year 2000 the four LEP experiments have collected data at energies between 200 and 209 GeV, for approximately 868 pb-1 integrated luminosity. The LEP working group for Higgs boson searches has combined these data with earlier data…
I briefly review the Higgs sector in the Standard Model. After summarizing the properties of the Higgs boson, I will discuss the prospects for discovering this particle at the present colliders LEP2 and Tevatron and at the next generation…
A Higgs particle produced in association with a Z boson and decaying into two photons is searched for in the data collected by the L3 experiment at LEP. All possible decay modes of the Z boson are investigated. No signal is observed in…
The status of searches for new particles and new physics during the past year at the Fermilab Tevatron, at HERA and at LEP is summarized. A discussion of the hints for the Standard Model Higgs boson from LEP2 data is presented. Searches for…
