description

We study the Georgi-Machacek two triplet, one doublet model in the context of LEP2, and show that cascade decays of Higgs bosons to lighter Higgs bosons and a virtual vector boson may play a major role. Such decays would allow the Higgs bosons of this model to escape current searches, and in particular are of great importance for the members of the five-plet which will always decay to the three-plet giving rise to cascade signatures.
