We consider dominant three-, four- and five-loop contributions to λ, the quartic scalar coupling-constant's β-function in the Standard Model. We find that these terms accelerate the evolution of λ to nonperturbative values, thereby lowering the unification bound for which scalar-couplings are still perturbative. We also find that these higher order contributions imply a substantial lowering of λ itself before the anticipated onset of nonperturbative physics in the Higgs sector.

The 2H model that resembles the Higgs sector of the minimal N=1 SUSY version of the standard model is considered and the contribution of the charged Higgs boson to the rate of the b→sl+l− transition is studied as a function of the free parameters MH, Mt and the squared two Higgs doublet v.e.v. ratio r. It is shown that this process can be suppressed by the charged Higgs boson contribution and that in general it is not very sensitive to its presence unless (SUSY-forbidden) values of r>1 are assumed.

We review recent theoretical progress in the computation of radiative corrections beyond one loop within the standard model of electroweak interactions, in both the gauge and Higgs sectors. In the gauge sector, we discuss universal corrections of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], and those due to virtual [Formula: see text]-threshold effects, as well as specific corrections to [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] including finite-mb effects. We also present an update of the hadronic contributions to Δα. Theoretical uncertainties, other than those due to the lack of knowledge of MH and mt, are estimated. In the Higgs sector, we report on the [Formula: see text] corrections to [Formula: see text] including those which are specific for the [Formula: see text] mode, the [Formula: see text] corrections to [Formula: see text] including the finite-mq terms, and the [Formula: see text] corrections to Γ(H → gg).

We survey recent developments in techniques for searching for the Standard Model Higgs boson. We also discuss theories that go beyond the Standard Model, and illustrate the extent to which Higgs search strategies must be altered, with respect to the Standard Model approaches, in order to probe the associated Higgs sectors.

We investigate various mechanisms of enhancement of the branching ratios of the decay KL→π0l+l− as compared to the predictions of the Standard Model. We propose a model with several Higgs doublets, which contains a Higgs boson with nearly equal couplings to e+e− and µ+µ− pairs. In this model, the branching ratio BR (KL→π0e+e−, π0µ+µ−) can be close to the present experimental upper bounds.

We examine the Higgs sector of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model. The requirement of perturbative unification combined with the recent LEP data on Higgs boson searches, excludes substantial regions of parameter space. We find that only 0.42 ≤ tan β≲0.76 and tan β≳1.30 are the allowed values for tan β=υ2/υ1. We also determine the absolute lower bound on the lightest Higgs mass to be ≈8 GeV. We conclude that improved lower bounds on the top quark mass and/or the standard model Higgs boson mass will impose yet more stringent constraints on the model. These results clearly favor tan β>1, in agreement with N=1 supergravity or superstring-inspired models.

AbstractBuilding on an older method used to derive non-decoupling effects of a heavy Higgs boson in the Standard Model, we describe a general procedure to integrate out heavy fields in the path integral. The derivation of the corresponding effective Lagrangian including the one-loop contributions of the heavy particle(s) is particularly transparent, flexible, and algorithmic. The background-field formalism allows for a clear separation of tree-level and one-loop effects involving the heavy fields. Using expansion by regions the one-loop effects are further split into contributions from large and small momentum modes. The former are contained in Wilson coefficients of effective operators, the latter are reproduced by one-loop diagrams involving effective tree-level couplings. The method is illustrated by calculating potential non-decoupling effects of a heavy Higgs boson in a singlet Higgs extension of the Standard Model. In particular, we work in a field basis corresponding to mass eigenstates and properly take into account non-vanishing mixing between the two Higgs fields of the model. We also show that a proper choice of renormalization scheme for the non-standard sector of the underlying full theory is crucial for the construction of a consistent effective field theory.

We discuss the Standard-Model Higgs boson production in the channels e−e−→e−e−H, e−νW−H, and e−e−ZH. We also illustrate the enhancements in the W–W– cross section that would result from a strongly-interacting Higgs sector or from a H−− resonance in a doublet + triplet scalar field model.

The new particle recently discovered at the Large Hadron Collider has properties compatible with those expected for the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson. However, this does not exclude the possibility that the discovered state is of non-standard origin, as part of an elementary Higgs sector in an extended model, or not at all a fundamental Higgs scalar. We review briefly the motivations for Higgs boson scenarios beyond the SM, discuss the phenomenology of several examples, and summarize the prospects and methods for studying interesting models with non-standard Higgs sectors using current and future data.
