Anatomy of the Higgs mass spectrum

چکیده
We analyze the implications of a Higgs discovery on possible " new–physics " scenarios, for m H up to ∼ 700 GeV. For this purpose we critically review lower and upper limits on the Higgs mass in the SM and in the MSSM, respectively. Furthermore, we discuss the general features of possible " heavy " (m H > ∼ 2m Z) Higgs scenarios by means of a simple heavy–fermion condensate model.

The effect of beam related systematics, namely uncertainty in the beam energy and differential luminosity spectrum measurements and beam energy spread on the precision of the Higgs boson mass measurement at a future linear e + e − collider is investigated. A future linear e + e − collider will be an ideal tool to measure Higgs bo-son properties. A number of studies have been performed to examin...
متن کاملPhantom Higgs from Unparticles
A renormalizable coupling between the Higgs and a scalar unparticle operator OU of non-integer dimension dU < 2 gives rise, after electroweak symmetry breaking, to a mass gap in the unparticle continuum and a shift in the original Higgs mass, which can end up above or below the mass gap. We show that, besides the displaced Higgs state, a new isolated state can generically appear in the spectrum...
متن کاملOn a Possible Explanation of the Origin of the Quark Mass Spectrum
Contrary to the usual case when the quark mass spectrum is defined by that of the quark Yukawa couplings while the vacuum expectation value of the Higgs field remains universal, we suggest to consider the opposite situation. Each generation of quarks and leptons is associated with its own Higgs doublet, while the Yukawa couplings are the same. This situation naturally arises in the framework of...
متن کاملConstraints on the Higgs Boson Properties from the Effective Potential
We review the constraints on Higgs boson properties from effective potential methods. In the Standard Model, the requirement of stability (or metastability) of the standard electroweak minimum puts an upper bound on the scale of new physics as a function of the Higgs mass. This upper bound is below the Planck scale if the Higgs weights < ∼ 130 GeV. In supersymmetric extensions of the Standard M...
متن کاملApproximate solutions for the Higgs masses and couplings in the NMSSM
We find the approximate solutions for the Higgs masses and couplings in the NMSSM with exact and softly broken PQ–symmetry. The obtained solutions indicate that there exists a mass hierarchy in the Higgs spectrum which is caused by the stability of the physical vacuum.
