Single and double production of the Higgs boson at hadron and lepton colliders in minimal composite Higgs models

Higgs Boson Production at Hadron Colliders: Signal and background Processes

We review the theoretical status of signal and background calculations for Higgs boson production at hadron colliders. Particular emphasis is given to missing NLO results, which will play a crucial role for the Tevatron and the LHC.

Triplet Higgs boson at hadron colliders

The novel feature of a Higgs-triplet representation is a nonzero tree-level coupling of HWZ, which is absent in all Higgs-doublet models. We study the associated production of a singly-charged Higgs boson of the Higgs-triplet representation with a W or Z boson at hadron colliders, followed by the H → WZ decay. We find that the 2l+ 4j final state gives an interesting level of signal with a negli...

Quantum Effects in Higgs-Boson Production Processes at Hadron Colliders

Improved description of charged Higgs boson production at hadron colliders

We present a new method for matching the two twin-processes gb → Ht and gg → Htb in Monte Carlo event generators. The matching is done by defining a double-counting term, which is used to generate events that are subtracted from the sum of the two twin-processes. In this way we get a smooth transition between the collinear region of phase space, which is best described by gb → Ht, and the hard ...

Higgs Boson Searches at Hadron Colliders

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 pp 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 potent...
