We investigate the prospects for the discovery of neutral Higgs bosons with a pair of muons by direct searches at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) as well as by indirect searches in the rare decay $B_s to mu^+mu^-$ at the Fermilab Tevatron and the LHC. Promising results are found for the minimal supersymmetric standard model, the minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) model, and supergravity models with non-universal Higgs masses (NUHM SUGRA). For $tanbeta simeq 50$, we find that (i) the contours for a branching fraction of $B(B_s to mu^+mu^-) = 1 times 10^{-8}$ in the parameter space are very close to the $5sigma$ contours for $pp to bphi^0 to bmu^+mu^- +X, phi^0 = h^0, H^0, A^0$ at the LHC with an integrated luminosity ($L$) of 30 fb$^{-1}$, (ii) the regions covered by $B(B_s to mu^+mu^-) ge 5times 10^{-9}$ and the discovery region for $bphi^0 to bmu^+mu^-$ with 300 fb$^{-1}$ are complementary in the mSUGRA parameter space, (iii) in NUHM SUGRA models, a discovery of $B(B_s to mu^+mu^-) simeq 5times 10^{-9}$ at the LHC will cover regions of the parameter space beyond the direct search for $bphi^0 to bmu^+mu^-$ with $L = 300$ fb$^{-1}$.

We investigate the possibility of detecting the Higgs bosons predicted in the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model $(h^0, H^0, A^0, H^pm)$, with the reactions $e^{+}e^{-}to bbar b h^0 (H^0, A^0)$, and $e^+e^-to tau^-bar u_tau H^+, tau^+ u_tau H^-$, using the helicity formalism. We analyze the region of parameter space $(m_{A^0}-tanbeta)$ where $h^0, H^0, A^0$ and $H^pm$ could be detected in the limit when $tanbeta$ is large. The numerical computation is done considering two stages of a possible Next Linear $e^{+}e^{-}$ Collider: the first with $sqrt{s}=500$ $GeV$ and design luminosity 50 $fb^{-1}$, and the second with $sqrt{s}=1$ $TeV$ and luminosity 100-200 $fb^{-1}$.

I report on a calculation of the inclusive Higgs boson production cross section at hadron colliders at next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD. The result is computed as an expansion about the threshold region. By continuing the expansion to very high o rder, we map the result onto basis functions and obtain the result in closed analytic form.
We study the observability of new interactions which modify Higgs-pair production via vector-boson fusion processes at the LHC and at future proton-proton colliders. In an effective-Lagrangian approach, we explore in particular the effect of the oper ator $h^2 W_{mu u}^a W^{a,mu u}$, which describes the interaction of the Higgs boson with transverse vector-boson polarization modes. By tagging highly boosted Higgs bosons in the final state, we determine projected bounds for the coefficient of this operator at the LHC and at a future 27 TeV or 100 TeV collider. Taking into account unitarity constraints, we estimate the new-physics discovery potential of Higgs pair production in this channel.
We study the pair production of neutral Higgs bosons through gluon fusion at hadron colliders in the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We present analytical expressions for the relevant amplitudes, including both quark and squar k loop contributions, and allowing for mixing between the superpartners of left- and right-handed quarks. Squark loop contributions can increase the cross section for the production of two CP-even Higgs bosons by more than two orders of magnitude, if the relevant trilinear soft breaking parameter is large and the mass of the lighter squark eigenstate is not too far above its current lower bound. In the region of large $tan beta$, neutral Higgs boson pair production might even be observable in the $4 b$ final state during the next run of the Tevatron collider.
In a general two Higgs doublet model, we study flavor changing neutral Higgs (FCNH) decays into leptons at hadron colliders, $pp to phi^0 to tau^mpmu^pm +X$, where $phi^0$ could be a CP-even scalar ($h^0$, $H^0$) or a CP-odd pseudoscalar ($A^0$). The light Higgs boson $h^0$ is found to resemble closely the Standard Model Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider. In the alignment limit of $cos(beta-alpha) cong 0$ for $h^0$--$H^0$ mixing, FCNH couplings of $h^0$ are naturally suppressed, but such couplings of the heavier $H^0, A^0$ are sustained by $sin(beta-alpha) simeq 1$. We evaluate physics backgrounds from dominant processes with realistic acceptance cuts and tagging efficiencies. We find promising results for $sqrt{s} = 14$ TeV, which we extend further to $sqrt{s} = 27$ TeV and 100 TeV future pp colliders.
