We review the decay modes of the Standard Model Higgs boson and those of the neutral and charged Higgs particles of the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. Special emphasis will be put on higher–order effects. Talk given at the International Workshop on Quantum Effects in the MSSM Barcelona, Spain, September 9–13, 1997. Decays of the Higgs Bosons Abdelhak DJOUADI Laboratoire...

Nonlinear static procedure (NSP) is a common technique to predict seismic demands on various building structures by subjecting a monotonically increasing horizontal loading (pushover) to the structure. Therefore, the pushover analysis is an important part of each NSP. Accordingly, the current paper aims at investigating the efficiencyof various algorithms of lateral load patterns applied to the...

Using X-ray temperature and surface brightness profiles of the hot intracluster medium (ICM) derived from ASCA and ROSAT observations we place constraints on the dark matter (DM) and baryon fraction distributions in the poor clusters Abell 1060 (A1060) and AWM 7. Although their total mass distributions are similar, AWM 7 has twice the baryon fraction of A1060 in the best-fit models. The functio...

In the framework of the continuum approximation, localized modes in nonlinear lattices ~‘‘intrinsic localized modes’’ or ‘‘discrete breathers’’! are described by the nonlinear Schrödinger ~NLS! equation. We go beyond this approximation and analyze what kind of qualitatively new effects can be introduced by discreteness. Taking into account the higher-order linear and nonlinear dispersion terms ...

The collective-mode spectrum of a multicomponent magnetized ionic mixture for small wave number k is studied with the use of magnetohydrodynamics and formal kinetic theory. Apart from the usual thermal and diffusive modes, the spectrum contains a set of four oscillating modes. By evaluating the k contributions to the eigenfrequencies, the damping and the dispersion of these oscillating modes ar...

A rigorous classical analytic model of confined optical wave propagation along 2-D bent slab waveguides and curved dielectric interfaces is investigated, based on a piecewise frequency domain ansatz for bend mode profiles in terms of Bessel and Hankel functions. This approach provides a clear picture of the behaviour of bend modes, concerning their decay for large radial arguments or effects of...
