Searches for Neutral Higgs Bosons in Collisions around = 189 GeV
Searches for neutral Higgs bosons in the Standard Model and the MSSM havebeen performed using data collected by the DELPHI experiment at acentre-of-mass energy of 188.7 GeV, corresponding toan integrated luminosity of 158~pb.These analyses are used, in combination with our results from lowerenergies, to set new 95\% confidence level lower mass bounds on theStandard Model Higgs boson (94.6 GeV/) and on the lightest neutralscalar (82.6 GeV/) and neutral pseudoscalar (84.1 GeV/) Higgsbosons in a representative scan of the MSSM parameters. The results are alsointerpreted in the framework of a general two-Higgs doublet model.
