Generic Extensions

Extended scalar sectors appear in various extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics, such as supersymmetric models. They are also generic extensions of the Standard Model and can address a number of its shortcomings. Direct searches for additional Higgs bosons and measurements of the 125-GeV Higgs boson, both of which provide insights into the different possible sectors, are carried out at the LHC. This review gives an overview of searches for the additional Higgs bosons and their implications for different models. The discussed analyses comprise searches for neutral and charged Higgs bosons that decay in various final states. In addition, the review summarizes the constraints from precision measurements, including in particular the observed couplings of the 125-GeV Higgs boson. While several models naturally incorporate a Higgs boson with couplings that are similar to the ones in the Standard Model, the measurements of the 125-GeV Higgs boson provide constraints on all considered extensions.

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.

The Higgs boson is the missing link of the Standard Model of elementary particle physics. We review its decay properties and production mechanisms at a future e+e-linear collider and its e-e-, e±γ, and γγ modes, with special emphasis on the influence of quantum corrections. We also discuss how its quantum numbers and couplings can be extracted from the study of appropriate final states.

The Standard Model

The update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics from 2013 states that Europe's top priority should be the exploitation of the full potential of the LHC, including the high-luminosity upgrade of the machine and detectors with a view to collecting 10 times more data than in the initial design. The plans for upgrading the ATLAS and CMS detectors so as to maintain their performance and meet the challenges of increasing luminosity are presented here. A cornerstone of the physics programme is to measure the properties of the 125 GeV Higgs boson with the highest possible precision, to test its consistency with the Standard Model. The high-luminosity data will allow precise measurements of the dominant production and decay modes, and offer the possibility of observing rare modes including Higgs boson pair production. Direct and indirect searches for additional Higgs bosons beyond the Standard Model will also continue.

The Difference

This paper analyses a method of producing the Higgs mass via the gravitational field. This approach has become very popular in recent years, as the consideration of other forces do not help in solving the problem of mass hierarchy. Not understand the difference between scales of the standard model and Grand unification theory. Here, we present a heuristic mechanism which eliminated this difference. The idea is that the density of the condensate of the Higgs is increased so that it is necessary to take into account self gravitational potential energy of the Higgs boson. The result is as follows. The mass of the Higgs is directly proportional to the cell density of the Higgs bosons. Or else the mass of the Higgs is inversely proportional to the cell volume, which is the Higgs boson in the condensate. The most interesting dimension of this cell condensation is equal to the scale of Grand unification. This formula naturally combines the scale of the standard model and Grand unification through gravitational condensation.

Mass Reconstruction

The problems of the Standard Model, as well as questions related to Higgs boson properties led to the need to model the ttH associated production and the Higgs boson decay to a top quark pair within the MSSM model. With the help of computer programs MadGraph, Pythia, and Delphes and using the latest kinematic cuts taken from experimental data obtained at the LHC, we have predicted the masses of MSSM Higgs bosons, A and H.

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.

Charged Higgs Bosons

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.
