We review scenarios in which the particles that account for the Dark Matter (DM) in the
Universe interact only through their couplings with the Higgs sector of the theory, the so …

Current particle phenomenology is characterized by the spectacular agreement of the
predictions of the Standard Model of particle physics (SM) with all results from collider …

A bstract We discuss the lower Higgs boson mass bounds which come from the absolute
stability of the Standard Model (SM) vacuum and from the Higgs inflation, as well as the …

This Report summarizes the results of the first 10 months' activities of the LHC Higgs Cross
Sections Working Group. The main goal of the working group was to present the status-of-art …

This biennial Review summarizes much of particle physics. Using data from previous
editions, plus 2158 new measurements from 551 papers, we list, evaluate, and average …

I provide a pedagogical introduction to supersymmetry. The level of discussion is aimed at
readers who are familiar with the Standard Model and quantum field theory, but who have …

The second part of this review is devoted to the Higgs sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric
Standard Model. The properties of the neutral and charged Higgs bosons of the extended …

The ATLAS and CMS experiments observed a particle at the LHC with a mass≈ 126 GeV,
which is compatible with the Higgs boson of the Standard Model. A crucial question is, if for …

I provide a pedagogical introduction to supersymmetry. The level of discussion is aimed at
readers who are familiar with the Standard Model and quantum field theory, but who have …

Theoretical and phenomenological implications of R-parity violation in supersymmetric
theories are discussed in the context of particle physics and cosmology. Fundamental …
