Theoretical Higgs Mass Bounds in the Standard Model and Supersymmetric Extensions

Abstract

These lectures provide a very basic introduction to different theoretical limits on the mass of Higgs scalars. Particular attention is devoted to the pure Standard Model and its Minimal Supersymmetric extension (MSSM). [Lectures presented at the XXIV ITEP Winter School, Snegiri (Russia), February 96]
