MASS LIMITS FOR NEUTRAL HIGGS BOSONS IN EXTENDED HIGGS MODELS

This Section covers models which do not fit into either the Standard Model or its simplest minimal Supersymmetric extension (MSSM), leading to anomalous production rates, or nonstandard final states and branching ratios. In particular, this Section covers limits which may apply to generic two-Higgs-doublet models (2HDM), or to special regions of the MSSM parameter space where decays to invisible particles or to photon pairs are dominant (see the review on “Status of Higgs Boson Physics''). Concerning the mass limits for ${{\mathit H}^{0}}$ and ${{\mathit A}^{0}}$ listed below, see the footnotes or the comment lines for details on the nature of the models to which the limits apply.
The observed signal at about 125 GeV, see section “${{\mathit H}^{0}}$ '', can be interpreted as one of the neutral Higgs bosons of an extended Higgs sector.
