Cornering Higgs Bosons at LEP a
نویسنده
چکیده
In 1999 LEP reached a centre-of-mass energy of 202 GeV and delivered a total integrated luminosity in excess of 1 fb to the four experiments. A review of the results of all Higgs boson searches performed with the data collected in 1999 is presented, with a particular emphasis on the combinations of the four LEP experiments. When for a given search such a combination is not available, the individual result with the best sensitivity is presented instead.

Searches for “Other” Higgs Bosons at LEP
Recent LEP searches for Higgs bosons in models other than the Minimal Standard Model and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model are reviewed. Limits are presented for Higgs bosons decaying into diphotons or invisible particles, and for charged Higgs bosons.
متن کاملHiggs Searches at Lep
The four LEP experiments ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL have performed decay-mode independent searches for scalar bosons, flavour-independent Higgs boson searches, searches for Higgs bosons in the Standard Model and several Two-Higgs-Doublet models and searches for doubly charged Higgs bosons at centre-of-mass energies up to 209 GeV. The results obtained and mostly combined by the LEP Higgs working...
متن کاملCP-Violating MSSM Higgs Bosons in the Light of LEP 2
In the MSSM, the CP parities of the neutral Higgs bosons may be mixed by radiative effects induced by explicit CP violation in the third generation of squarks. To allow for this possibility, we argue that the charged Higgs-boson mass and tan β should be used to parametrize the MSSM Higgs sector. We introduce a new benchmark scenario of maximal CP violation appropriate for direct searches of CP-...
متن کاملSearches for Higgs bosons at LEP
Searches for Higgs bosons at LEP are summarized. No Higgs boson has been observed yet. For the Standard model Higgs boson, the lower bound on the mass is 113:3 GeV=c. In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, for representative scans of the SUSY parameters, the limits on the CPeven and the CP-odd neutral Higgs bosons masses are both 90:5 GeV=c. For the charged Higgs bosons predicted by two-...
متن کاملFermiophobic Higgs Bosons at LEP
This work describes the results of the searches for a Higgs boson decaying into gauge bosons carried out by the four LEP collaborations: ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL. A lower bound of 109.7 GeV is set at 95% confidence level on the mass of a fermiophobic Higgs boson decaying into photons. This mass limit can be extended by considering the Higgs decay mode into weak bosons. Such a combination has ...
