Fermiophobic Higgs Bosons at LEP
نویسنده
چکیده
This work describes the results of the searches for a Higgs boson decaying into gauge bosons carried out by the four LEP collaborations: ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL. A lower bound of 109.7 GeV is set at 95% confidence level on the mass of a fermiophobic Higgs boson decaying into photons. This mass limit can be extended by considering the Higgs decay mode into weak bosons. Such a combination has been done by the L3 collaboration which extended the fermiophobic mass by 5 GeV.

Searches at LEP
Searches have been conducted for a broad range of new phenomena by the four experiments ALEPH, DELPHI, L3, and OPAL, at LEP2. Each experiment contributes approximately 150 pb of ee annihilation data with a mean √ s of 205.9 GeV in 2000 to these searches (data prepared for the September 5 LEPC meeting). The statistical procedure for setting limits and evaluating the significance of excesses obse...
متن کاملExperimental Signatures of Fermiophobic Higgs bosons
The most general Two Higgs Doublet Model potential without explicit CP violation depends on 10 real independent parameters. Excluding spontaneous CP violation results in two 7 parameter models. Although both models give rise to 5 scalar particles and 2 mixing angles, the resulting phenomenology of the scalar sectors is different. If flavour changing neutral currents at tree level are to be avoi...

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 کاملHiggs Boson Searches at Lep
The results of the Higgs boson searches performed by the four LEP experiments at centre-of-mass energies between 189 GeV and 209 GeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2461 pb −1 are presented here. Searches have been performed for Higgs in the Standard Model (SM), in 2 Higgs Doublet Models (2HDM's), for doubly charged, fermiophobic and invisible Higgs as well as a decay mode independ...
