Experimental 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 avoided, one has, in both cases, four alternative ways of introducing the fermion couplings. In one of these models the mixing angle of the CP even sector can be chosen in such a way that the fermion couplings to the lightest scalar Higgs boson vanishes. At the same time it is possible to suppress the fermion couplings to the charged and pseudo-scalar Higgs bosons by appropriately choosing the mixing angle of the CP odd sector. We investigate the phenomenology of both models in the fermiophobic limit and present the different branching ratios for the decays of the scalar particles. We use the present experimental results from the LEP collider to constrain the models.

XLOOPS -- A Program Package calculating One- and Two-Loop Feynman Diagrams

The aim of XLOOPS is to calculate one-particle irreducible Feynman diagrams with one or two closed loops for arbitrary processes in the Standard model of particles and related theories. Up to now this aim is realized for all one-loop diagrams with at most three external lines and for two-loop diagrams with two external lines.

oneloop 2.0 -- A Program Package calculating One-Loop Integrals

We present an improved version of our program package oneloop which -- written as a package for MAPLE -- solves one-loop Feynman integrals. The package is calculating one-, two- and three-point functions both algebraically and numerically to any tensor rank. In addition to the original version oneloop 2.0 also calculates infrared divergent integrals. Higher powers of propagator terms and the $O(\eps)$ parts relevant for two-loop calculations are now supported.

Introduction to XLOOPS

The program package XLOOPS calculates massive one- and two-loop Feynman diagrams. It consists of five parts: i) a graphical user interface ii) routines for generating diagrams from particle input iii) procedures for calculating one-loop integrals both analytically and numerically iv) routines for massive two-loop integrals v) programs for numerical integration of two-loop diagrams. The package relies on the application of parallel space techniques. The treatment of tensor structure and the separation of UV and IR divergences in analytic expressions is described in this scheme. All analytic calculations are performed with MAPLE. Two-loop examples taken from Standard Model calculations are presented. The method has recently been extended to all two-loop vertex topologies, including the crossed topology, graphs with divergent subloops and IR divergent diagrams. This will be included in the XLOOPS package in the near future.

A new Method for Computing One-Loop Integrals

We present a new program package for calculating one-loop Feynman integrals, based on a new method avoiding Feynman parametrization and the contraction due to Passarino and Veltman. The package is calculating one-, two- and three-point functions both algebraically and numerically to all tensor cases. This program is written as a package for Maple. An additional Mathematica version is planned later.
