Four-fermion decay of Higgs bosons
نویسندگان
چکیده
We calculate four-fermion decays of a Higgs boson via WW and/or ZZ intermediate states for Higgs masses below mW . We examine models with a doublycharged Higgs boson H and show that the four-fermion decay is the dominant mode for a wide range of parameter space. Existing searches for H in Z decays have not looked for this mode. We also derive four-fermion decay rate for a neutral Higgs boson.

Higgs and Z-boson Signatures of Supersymmetry
In supersymmetric theories of nature the Higgsino fermionic superpartner of the Higgs boson can arise as the lightest standard model superpartner depending on the couplings between the Higgs and supersymmetry breaking sectors. In this letter the production and decay of Higgsino pairs to the Goldstone fermion of supersymmetry breaking and the Higgs boson, h, or gauge bosons, Z or γ are considere...
متن کاملDecay of Z into two light Higgs bosons.
If the standard electroweak gauge model is extended to include two or more Higgs doublets, there may be a neutral Higgs boson h which is light (with a mass of say 10 GeV) but the hZZ coupling is suppressed so that it has so far escaped experimental detection. However, the effective hhZZ coupling is generally unsuppressed, hence the decay of Z into two light Higgs bosons plus a fermion-antifermi...

We consider the effective two-Higgs-doublet potential with complex parameters, when the CP invariance is broken both explicitly and spontaneously. Diagonal mass term in the local minimum of the potential is constructed. For special case of the two-doublet Higgs sector of the minimal supersymmetric model, when CP invariance is violated by the Higgs bosons interaction with scalar quarks of the th...

We point out that charged Higgs bosons can decay into final states different from τντ and cs̄, even when they are light enough to be produced at LEP II or at the Tevatron through top quark decays. These additional decay modes are overlooked in ongoing searches even though they alter the existing lower bounds on the mass of the charged Higgs bosons that are present in supersymmetric and two Higgs...
متن کاملHiggs Physics with a Universal Higgs-Fermion Coupling
A variant of the conventional Higgs model is proposed which separates the physics of the Higgs decay modes from the problem of fermion mass generation. The lowest mass Higgs boson has no significant bb̄ decay mode but a cc̄ and uū branching ratio of about 33% each and requires the existence of two Higgs doublets of type II, which is consistent with supersymmetric models. It also implies there are...
