Studies on Extended Higgs Sectors as a Probe of New Physics Beyond the Standard Model

Abstract

In this thesis, we discuss theoretical properties of various Higgs sectors, and we analyze constraints from current experimental data, and then we study collider signatures in each Higgs sector. In Part I, we focus on the phenomenology of various extended Higgs sectors such as the two Higgs doublet model, the Higgs triplet model and Higgs sectors in supersymmetric standard models. In Part II, we discuss new physics models at the TeV scale, in which the Higgs sector is extended, and neutrino masses, dark matter and/or baryon asymmetry of the Universe can be explained.
