Searches for hA pair production and hZ production have been performed. Special emphasis has been put on searches, in which the Higgs can decay invisibly into neutralinos. The data collected by the DELPHI experiment at centre-of-mass energies between 191.6 and 201.7 Gev for the year 1999 and between 201.7 and 209.0 Gev for the ongoing data taking in 2000 has been used. These analyses are used, in combination with our results at lower energies, to set 95% confidence levels on the existence of a light neutral Higgs Boson h and a neutral pseudoscalar Higgs Boson A in a mass range of 85-115 GeV/c 2. Combining the searches for visible and invisible Higgs decays allows to obtain 95% confidence levels on the existance of h independent of the branching ratio into invisible decays, if the visible decays are taken to be the SM ones. The MSSM parameter space excluded by these searches has been determined.

A search for pair produced charged Higgs bosons was performed in the high energy data collected by the DELPHI detector at LEP II at centre-of-mass energies from 183 GeV to 208 GeV. The three different final states, τντν, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] were considered. No excess of data compared to the expected Standard Model processes was observed and the existence of a charged Higgs boson with mass lower than 75.0 GeV / c 2 is excluded at 95% confidence level.

Search for the Higgs boson of the Standard Model have been performed using the data collected by the DELPHI experiment at LEP in 2000 corresponding to centre-of-mass energies up to 209 GeV. These results are used, in combination with our results from previous years, to obtain preliminary confidence levels on the existence of an Standard Model Higgs boson with a mass in the range [105-115] GeV /c2.

We review the techniques and results of the searches for the Higgs boson performed by the two Tevatron collaborations, CDF and DØ. The Higgs boson predicted by the Standard Model was sought in the mass range 90 GeV < mH < 200 GeV in all main production modes at the Tevatron: gluon–gluon fusion, WH and ZH associated production, vector boson fusion, and [Formula: see text] production, and in five main decay modes: [Formula: see text], H→τ+τ-, H→WW(*), H→ZZ(*) and H→γγ. An excess of events was seen in the [Formula: see text] searches consistent with a Standard Model Higgs boson with a mass in the range 115 GeV < mH < 135 GeV . Assuming a Higgs boson mass of mH = 125 GeV , studies of Higgs boson properties were performed, including measurements of the product of the cross section times the branching ratio in various production and decay modes, constraints on Higgs boson couplings to fermions and vector bosons, and tests of spin and parity. We also summarize the results of searches for supersymmetric Higgs bosons, and Higgs bosons in other extensions of the Standard Model.

Latest results of searches for heavy Higgs bosons in fermionic final states are presented using the CMS detector at the LHC. Results are based on pp collision data collected at centre-of-mass energies of 8 and 13 TeV which have been interpreted according to different extensions of the Standard Model such as MSSM, 2HDM, and NMSSM. These searches look for evidence of other scalar or pseudoscalar bosons, in addition to the observed SM-like 125 GeV Higgs boson, and set 95% confidence level upper limits in fermionic final states and benchmark models explored. The talk reviews briefly the major results obtained by the CMS Collaboration during Run I, and presents the most recent searches performed during Run II.

Charged Higgs boson is a crucial prediction of new physics beyond the SM. In this work, we perform a comprehensive scan over the parameter space of NMSSM considering various experimental constraints including the direct search limits from the 13 TeV LHC, and consider the scenario that the next-to-lightest CP-even Higgs boson is SM-like. We find that the masses of charged Higgs bosons can be as light as 350 GeV, the lightest CP-even Higgs boson [Formula: see text] is predominantly singlet and can be as light as 48 GeV, and the lightest CP-odd Higgs boson [Formula: see text] is also singlet-dominated and can be as light as 82 GeV. The charged Higgs bosons mainly decay to [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text], but the branching ratio of the exotic decays [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] can maximally reach 20% and 11%, respectively, which can be used to distinguish the NMSSM from MSSM. Such a heavy charged Higgs boson is inaccessible at the 13 TeV LHC with a luminosity of 36.1 fb[Formula: see text] and its detection needs higher energy and/or higher luminosity.

Detailed studies of neutral and charged Higgs boson pair production with full statistic detector simulations around [Formula: see text] with 500 pb−1 are presented in the context of a review of the Higgs boson discovery potential at LEP200. Already in the first phase of LEP200, a significant increase of the mass parameter space compared to LEP1 for the discovery of nonminimal Higgs bosons will be possible, while the mass range for the discovery of the minimal Standard Model Higgs boson will increase only marginally. The requirements for a decisive test of the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) at a later stage of LEP200 are discussed. A sensitivity mass range is given for charged Higgs bosons.

We present the latest results on searches for the standard and beyond-the-standard model Higgs bosons in proton-antiproton collisions at [Formula: see text] by the CDF and DØ experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron. No significant excess is observed above the expected background, and the cross section limits for the Higgs bosons are calculated. It is noticed that the standard model Higgs boson in the mass range 163 – 166 GeV/c2 is excluded at the 95% C.L.

The investigation of the dynamics responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking is one of the prime tasks of experiments at present and future colliders. Experiments at the Tevatron [Formula: see text] Collider and at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) must be able to discover a Standard Model Higgs boson over the full mass range as well as Higgs bosons in extended models. In this review, the discovery potential for the Standard Model Higgs boson and for Higgs bosons in the Minimal Supersymmetric extension is summarized. Emphasis is put on those studies which have been performed recently within the experimental collaborations using a realistic simulation of the detector performance. This includes a discussion of the search for Higgs bosons using the vector boson fusion mode at the LHC, a discussion of the measurement of Higgs boson parameters as well as a detailed review of the MSSM sector for different benchmark scenarios. The Tevatron part of the review also contains a discussion of first physics results from data taken in the ongoing Run II.
