Searches for beyond Sm Higgs Boson at the Tevatron
نویسنده
چکیده
The Higgs mechanism is the heart of the Standard Model (SM) providing masses to gauge bosons via electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB). However, the SM fails to explain the origin of the Higgs mechanism and has certain naturalness problems, such as the extreme fine tuning required to keep the higher order corrections to the higgs mass under control (the so called hierarchy problem). In popular SM extensions, such as minimal SUSY (MSSM)1 and Little(st) Higgs 2 models, the EWSB is radiatively generated and these models are free from many of the above difficulties. In these models, the higgs sector is typically more complex, requiring additional neutral and charged higgs bosons in MSSM, and even doubly charged higgs bosons in Little Higgs, SUSY with extended higgs sector, and Left-Right symmetric 3 models. While the production cross section of higgs bosons is usually model dependent, the phenomenology in terms of decay modes and production mechanisms are often similar for a wide variety of new phenomena scenarios. This simplifies the interpretation of the experimental results: while the cross section driven mass limits are usually model dependent, production cross section limits obtained for certain benchmark scenarios are often applicable to other models.

Review of Searches for Higgs Bosons and Beyond the Standard Model Physics at the Tevatron
The energy frontier is currently at the Fermilab Tevatron accelerator, which collides protons and antiprotons at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The luminosity delivered to the CDF and DØ experiments has now surpassed the 4 fb. This paper reviews the most recent direct searches for Higgs bosons and beyond-the-standard-model (BSM) physics at the Tevatron. The results reported correspond to ...
متن کاملHiggs Physics: from LEP to a Future Linear Collider
New preliminary combined results from the LEP experiments on searches for the Higgs boson beyond the Standard Model are presented. The new determination of the top quark mass at the Tevatron in 2004 influences the interpretations of the LEP results in both, the Standard Model, and the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. Higgs boson physics will also be a major research area ...
متن کاملSearches for a High Mass Higgs Boson at the Tevatron
Recent results obtained by the CDF and DØ collaborations are presented here. These Tevatron Higgs searches look for a Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson decaying into W-boson pairs, with the W-bosons decaying into electron-neutrino or muon neutrino final states. In the mass range of 135 GeV/c to 200 GeV/c, the SM Higgs decays prominently into W-boson pairs. The presented results are based on an in...
متن کاملHiggs Searches at the Tevatron a
The Higgs boson is the last missing particle in the Standard Model (SM). Its mass is not determined by the SM, there are however several experimental constraints which bound the Higgs mass to values which are within the reach of the Tevatron collider. Lower bounds are given from direct searches at LEP2. These results exclude Higgs masses below 114.4 GeV at the 95% Confidence Level (C.L.) 1. An ...
متن کاملHiggs Searches at the Tevatron
We report on the status of Higgs boson searches at the Tevatron collider as of summer 2011. CDF and DØ perform Higgs searches in numerous final states corresponding to different potential production and decay modes of the Higgs in the context of both standard model (SM) production and other theoretical models. Based on current datasets we observe no excesses consistent with a Higgs signal and p...
متن کاملSearches for Non-sm Higgs at the Tevatron
Tevatron is currently the only place where we can search for not only the standard model (SM) Higgs boson but also non-SM Higgs bosons. CDF and DØ have started searching for the exotic Higgs bosons including supersymmetric Higgs bosons and doubly charged Higgs bosons. DØ recently updated the results of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) Higgs boson search using hbb̄ → bb̄bb̄ final st...
