Abstract in Portuguese
Nesta dissertação, revisamos o desenvolvimento do mecanismo de Higgs e a sua importância para a estruturação do Modelo Padrão da física de partículas elementares sob um ponto de vista histórico e contemporâneo. Foi enfatizado como a introdução de um dubleto escalar complexo com as simetrias de gauge do modelo fez com que algumas partículas adquirissem massa. Foi apresentado o contexto da descoberta do bóson de Higgs consumada em 2012 e possíveis discrepâncias nos resultados obtidos no Large Hadron Collider que poderiam indicar a possibilidade de física nova, em especial no canal de decaimento H . Estudamos as contribuições para a largura deste bóson em dois fótons com a introdução de novas partículas fermiônicas e escalares. Uma síntese do cálculo da largura deste canal, assim como as técnicas envolvidas para realizá-lo, são apresentadas. Considerando apenas as duas contribuições dominantes, foi estimado um valor de 9,165 keV para a largura do decaimento, resultando em uma razão de ramificação de 2,24 · 10^.

Abstract in English
In this dissertation, we review the development of the Higgs mechanism and its importance to the structure of the Standard Model of elementary particles physics from a historical and contemporary point of view. It was emphasized how the introduction of a complex scalar doublet with the gauge symmetries of the model induces some particles to acquire mass. It was presented the context of Higgs boson discovery accomplished in 2012 and possible discrepancies in the results obtained at the Large Hadron Collider which may indicate the possibility of new physics, in particular in the H decay channel. We studied the contributions to the width of this boson decay into two photons with the introduction of new fermionic and scalar particles. A synthesis of computation of this channel width, as well as techniques involved to accomplish it, are presented. Considering the only two dominant contributions, it was estimated a value of 9.165 keV for the decay width, resulting in a branching ratio of 2.24 · 10^{3}.
