Models with extended Higgs boson sectors are of prime importance for investigating the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking for Higgs decays into four fermions and for Higgs-production in association with a vector bosons. In the framework of the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model using two scenarios obtained from the experimental measurements we presented next-to-leading-order results on the four-fermion decays of light CP-even Higgs boson, $h rightarrow 4f$. With the help of Monte Carlo program Prophecy 4f 3.0, we calculated the values $Gamma= Gamma_{EW} /left(Gamma_{EW}+Gamma_{SM}right)$ and $Gamma= Gamma_{EW+QCD} /left(Gamma_{EW+QCD}+Gamma_{SM}right)$ for Higgs boson decay channels $ H rightarrow u_{mu} overline{mu} e overline{ u_e}$, $mu overline{mu} e overline{e}$, $e overline{e} e overline{e}$. We didnt find significant difference when accounting QCD corrections to EW processes in the decay modes of Higgs boson. Using computer programs Pythia 8.2 and FeynHiggs we calculated the following values: $sigma(VBH)BR(Hrightarrow ZZ)$ and $sigma(VBF)BR(H rightarrow WW)$ for VBF production processes, $sigma(ggH)BR(H rightarrow WW)$ and $sigma(ggH)BR(H rightarrow ZZ)$ for gluon fusion production process at 13 and 14 TeV and found good agreement with experimental data.
In this review, we discuss methods of parsing direct and indirect information from collider experiments regarding the Higgs boson and describe simple ways in which experimental likelihoods can be consistently reconstructed and interfaced with model predictions in pertinent parameter spaces. Ultimately these methods are used to constrain a five-dimensional parameter space describing a model-independent framework for electroweak symmetry breaking. We review prevalent scenarios for extending the electroweak symmetry breaking sector relative to the Standard Model and emphasize their predictions for nonstandard Higgs phenomenology that could be observed in LHC data if naturalness is realized in particular ways. Specifically we identify how measurements of Higgs couplings can be used to imply the existence of new physics at particular scales within various contexts, highlighting some parameter spaces of interest in order to give examples of how the data surrounding the new state can most effectively be used to constrain specific models of weak scale physics.
Introducing a source for a bi-local composite operator motivated by the perturbative expansion in gauge couplings, we calculate its effective potential in the renormalization group of Standard Model with no involvement of technicolor. The potential indicates the breaking of electroweak symmetry below a scale M due to a nonzero vacuum expectation value of neutral component for the SU(2)-doublet operator. At virtualities below a cut off Lambda we introduce the local higgs approximation for the effective fields of sources coupled to the composite operators. The value of Lambdaapprox 600 GeV is fixed by the measured masses of gauge vector bosons. The exploration of equations for infrared fixed points of calculated Yukawa constants allows us to evaluate the masses of heaviest fermion generation with a good accuracy, so that m_t(m_t) = 165pm 4 GeV, m_b(m_b) = 4.18pm 0.38 GeV and m_tau(m_tau) = 1.78pm 0.27 GeV. After a finite renormalization of effective fields for the sources of composite operators, the parameters of effective Higgs field potential are calculated at the scale of matching with the local theory Lambda. The fixed point for the Yukawa constant of t quark and the matching condition for the null effective potential at M drive the M value to the GUT scale. The equation for the infrared fixed point of quartic self-action allows us to get estimates for two almost degenerate scalar particles with m_H= 306pm 5 GeV, while third scalar coupled with the tau lepton is more heavy: m_{H_tau} = 552pm 9 GeV. Some phenomenological implications of the offered approach describing the effective scalar field, and a problem on three fermion generations are discussed.
Heavy neutral Higgs boson production and decay into neutralino and chargino pairs is studied at the Large Hadron Collider in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Higgs boson decays into the heavier neutralino and chargino states, i.e., H^0 or A^0 to tilde{chi}_i^0 tilde{chi}_j^0 (i,j = 2,3,4) as well as H^0 or A^0 to tilde{chi}_1^{pm} tilde{chi}_2^{mp}, tilde{chi}_2^+ tilde{chi}_2^- (all leading to four-lepton plus missing transverse energy final states), is found to improve the possibilities of discovering such Higgs states beyond those previously identified by considering H^0 or A^0 to tilde{chi}_2^0 tilde{chi}_2^0 decays only. In particular, H^0,A^0 bosons with quite heavy masses, approaching ~800 GeV in the so-called `decoupling region where no clear SM signatures for the heavier MSSM Higgs bosons are known to exist, can now be discerned, for suitable but not particularly restrictive configurations of the low energy supersymmetric parameters. The high M_A discovery reach for the H^0 and A^0 may thus be greatly extended. Full event-generator level simulations, including realistic detector effects and analyses of all significant backgrounds, are performed to delineate the potential H^0,A^0 discovery regions. The wedgebox plot technique is also utilized to further analyze the 4l plus missing transverse energy signal and background events. This study marks the first thorough and reasonably complete analysis of this important class of MSSM Higgs boson signature modes. In fact, this is the first time discovery regions including all possible neutralino and chargino decay modes of the Higgs bosons have ever been mapped out.
Precision predictions play an important role in the search for indirect New Physics effects in the Higgs sector itself. For the electroweak (EW) corrections of the Higgs bosons in extended Higgs sectors several renormalization schemes have been worked out that provide gauge-parameter-independent relations between the input parameters and the computed observables. Our recently published program codes 2HDECAY and ewN2HDECAY allow for the computation of the EW corrections to the Higgs decay widths and branching ratios of the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) and the Next-to-Minimal-2HDM (N2HDM) for different renormalization schemes of the scalar mixing angles. In this paper, we present a comprehensive and complete overview over the relative size of the EW corrections to the branching ratios of the 2HDM and N2HDM neutral Higgs bosons for different applied renormalization schemes. We quantify the size of the EW corrections of Standard Model(SM)- and non-SM-like Higgs bosons and moreover also identify renormalization schemes that are well-behaved and do not induce unnaturally large corrections. We furthermore pin down decays and parameter regions that feature large EW corrections and need further treatment in order to improve the predictions. Our study sets the scene for future work in the computation of higher-order corrections to the decays of non-minimal Higgs sectors.
