Probing the Stau－Stau－Higgs Couplings in the MSSM at NLC

In the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) with CP violating phases, this paper discusses the production of the lJghtest neutral Higgs boson in association with tau sleptons at future high-energy e^ e^- linear colliders. In parameter space of the constrained MSSM, the production cross section of e^ e^→h^0T1 T1^- can be very substantial at high energies. This process would provide a production mechanism for probing couplings of neutral Higgs bosoas to tau sleptons as well as some soft supersymmetric breaking parameters at next linear colliders.

Charged Higgs Pair Production in a General Two Higgs Doublet Model at e^＋e^- and μ^＋μ^- Linear Colliders

In this paper, charged Higgs pair production through l^＋l^- → H^＋ H^-, where l = e or μ, is studied within the framework of a general Two Higgs Doublet Model （2HDM）. The analysis is relevant to a future e^＋e^- or μ^＋ μ^- collider operating at center of mass energy of √s = 500 GeV. Two different scenarios of small and large a values are studied. Here a is the parameter, which diagonMizes the neutral CP-even Higgs boson mass matrix. Within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model （MSSM）, cross section of this process is almost the same at e＋ e- and #＋#- colliders. It is shown that at e^＋e^- eolliders within a general 2HDM, cross section is not sensitive to the mass of neutral Higgs bosons, however, it can acquire large values up to several picobarn at μ^＋μ^- colliders with the presence of heavy neutral Higgs bosons. A scan over Higgs boson mass parameter space is performed to analyze the effect of large masses of neutral Higgs bosons involved in the s-channel propagator and thus in the total cross section of this process.

New Electroweak Model Without a Higgs Particle

A new unified electroweak model is proposed in this paper. In this unified electroweak model, Higgsmechanism is not used, so no Higgs particle exists in the model. In order to keep the masses of intermediate gaugebosons non-zero, two sets of gauge fields will be introduced. In order to introduce symmetry breaking and to help tointroduce the masses of all fields, a vacuum potential is needed. Except for those terms concerning Higgs particle, thefundamental dynamical properties of this model are similar to those of the standard model. And in a proper limit, thismodel will approximately return to the standard model. The purpose of this paper is not to say that the Higgs particledoes not exist in Nature, it is only to prove that, without a Higgs particle, we can also set up a unified electroweak modelwhich is consistent with present experiments.     

Higgs mechanism without Higgs particle

Until now there has been no empirical evidence for the existence of the Higgs particle, although the Higgs mechanism of symmetry breaking is very successful. We propose a scalar-tensor theory of gravity with the Higgs field of theSU(3)×SU(2)×U(1) standard model of the elementary particles as scalar field, which results finally in Einstein's gravity and in theSU(3)×SU(2)×U(1) standard model without any influence of the excited Higgs field.     

Probing the Higgs sector of $$$$ Higgs triplet model at LHC

In this paper, we investigate the Higgs Triplet Model with hypercharge \(Y_{\varDelta }=0\) (HTM0), an extension of the Standard model, caracterized by a more involved scalar spectrum consisting of two CP even Higgs \(h^0, H^0\) and two charged Higgs bosons \(H^\pm \). We first show that the parameter space of HTM0, usually delimited by combined constraints originating from unitarity and BFB as well as experimental limits from LEP and LHC, is severely reduced when the modified Veltman conditions at one loop are also imposed. Then, we perform an rigorous analysis of Higgs decays either when \(h^0\) is the SM-like or when the heaviest neutral Higgs \(H^0\) is identified to the observed 125 GeV Higgs boson at LHC. In these scenarios, we perform an extensive parameter scan, in the lower part of the scalar mass spectrum, with a particular focus on the Higgs to Higgs decay modes \(H^0 \rightarrow h^0h^0, H^\pm \,H^\mp \) leading predominantly to invisible Higgs decays. Finally, we also study the scenario where \(h^0, H^0\) are mass degenerate. We thus find that consistency with LHC signal strengths favours a light charged Higgs with a mass about 176–178 GeV. Our analysis shows that the diphoton Higgs decay mode and \(H \rightarrow Z \gamma \) are not always positively correlated as claimed in a previous study. Anti-correlation is rather seen in the scenario where h is SM like, while correlation is sensitive to the sign of the potential parameter \(\lambda \) when H is identified to 125 GeV observed Higgs.     

Vector Higgs portal dark matter and the invisible Higgs

The Higgs sector of the Standard Model offers a unique probe of the hidden sector. In this work, we explore the possibility of renormalizable Higgs couplings to the hidden sector vector fields which can constitute dark matter (DM). Abelian gauge sectors with minimal field content, necessary to render the gauge fields massive, have a natural Z₂ parity. This symmetry ensures stability of the vector fields making them viable dark matter candidates, while evading the usual electroweak constraints. We illustrate this idea with the Stückelberg and Higgs mechanisms. Vector DM is consistent with the WMAP, XENON100, and LHC constraints, while it can affect significantly the invisible Higgs decay. Due to the enhanced branching ratio for the Higgs decay into the longitudinal components of the vector field, the vector Higgs portal provides an efficient way to hide the Higgs at the LHC. This could be the reason why the latest combined ATLAS/CMS data did not bring evidence for the existence of the Higgs boson.     

2 Higgs or not 2 Higgs

Motivated by recent results from the LHC experiments, we analyze Higgs couplings in two Higgs doublet models with an approximate PQ   symmetry. Models of this kind can naturally accommodate sizable modifications to Higgs decay patterns while leaving production at hadron colliders untouched. Near the decoupling limit, we integrate out the heavy doublet to obtain the effective couplings of the SM-like Higgs and express these couplings in a physically transparent way, keeping all orders in (_mh/_mH)$(m_h/m_H)$ for small PQ breaking. Considering supersymmetric models, we show that the effects on the Higgs couplings are considerably constrained.     

Double Higgs production at the linear colliders and the probing of the Higgs self-coupling

We study double Higgs production in the e⁺e^? and γγ modes of the linear collider. It is also shown how one can probe the scalar potential in these reactions. We discuss the effective longitudinal W approximation in γγ processes and the W _LW_L luminosities in the two modes of a high-energy linear collider. A generalised non-linear gauge-fixing condition, which is particularly useful for tree-level calculations of electroweak processes for the laser induced collider, is presented. Its connection with the background-field approach to gauge fixing is given.
