SINGLET-HIGGS-BOSON SIGNALS AT HADRON COLLIDERS

Many extensions of the Standard Model include SU(2)(L) x U(1)(Y) singl et higgs bosons, h(0), and also vector-like fermions which couple to i t. The production and detection possibilities of such singlet neutral scalars at hadron colliders are considered for different scenarios of vectorlike fermions. We find that for some values of masses and coupli ngs, detection at the CERN large hadron collider (LHC) appears to be a distinct possibility, while at the Fermilab Tevatron upgrade the h(0) might be observed only in very favourable circumstances.
