Higher-order corrections to Higgs-boson decays

Abstract

We review the status of radiative corrections to the decay rates of the Standard-Model Higgs boson in the mass range accessible at LEP~2. Specifically, we consider corrections of $\mathcal{O}(\alpha )$, $\mathcal{O}({\alpha }_s{G}_F{m}_t^2)$, and $\mathcal{O}(G_F^2{M}_H^4)$ to the fermionic decay rates and two-loop QCD corrections to the hadronic decay rates.
