We show that it is possible to construct models in which the width of the Higgs boson is arbitrary either smaller or larger than a standard model Higgs boson of the same mass. There are no new fields into which the Higgs boson decays. Instead, the coupling of the Higgs boson to the gauge bosons is adjusted. We construct and analyze weakly–coupled models with arbitrary–width Higgs bosons to inve...

A CP-even neutral Higgs boson with standard-model-like couplings may be the lightest scalar of a twoHiggs-doublet model. We study the decoupling limit of the most general CP-conserving two-Higgs-doublet model, where the mass of the lightest Higgs scalar is significantly smaller than the masses of the other Higgs bosons of the model. In this case, the properties of the lightest Higgs boson are n...

In this talk preliminary results of Higgs boson searches at LEP2 up to centre-of-mass energies of 183 GeV have been summarised. The main topics are searches for the Minimal Standard Model (MSM) Higgs boson and searches for neutral Higgs bosons of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). No indication for Higgs production has been found. The experiments have published their Higgs search...

A new scalar resonance, called the radion, with couplings to fermions and bosons similar to those of the Higgs boson, is predicted in the framework of Randall-Sundrum models, proposed solutions to the hierarchy problem with one extra dimension. An important distinction between the radion and the Higgs boson is that the radion would couple directly to gluon pairs, and in particular its decay pro...

It is unlikely that a high statistics study of r-lepton decays will be sensitive to the Higgs boson sector of electroweak physics. A Tau-Charm Factory is an ideal facility for the study of rare deca.ys of the rlepton. At a machine discussed in these Proceedings, one might expect to produce on the order of lo7 r’s per year. It is an interesting exercise to consider whether such a data sample is ...

We study Higgs boson production and decay in a certain class of Little Higgs models with T-parity in which some T-parity partners of the Standard Model (SM) fermions gain their masses through Yukawa-type couplings. We find that the Higgs boson production cross section of a 120 GeV Higgs boson at the CERN LHC via gg fusion process at one-loop level could be reduced by about 45%, 35% and 20%, as ...

We show that radiative corrections to the Higgs potential in supersymmetric theories with large tan generically lead to large diierences in the light Higgs boson decay branching fractions compared to those of the standard model Higgs boson. In contrast, the light Higgs boson production rates are largely unaaected. We identify W h associated production followed by Higgs boson decays to photons o...
