contents In this paper, we study the moduli space of Higgs pairs, which can be considered as a generalization of holomorphic pairs. Higgs pairs are an example of quiver bundles. We introduce the notion of $τ$-stability of Higgs pairs for $τ\in\mathbb{R}$ and establish the Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence for Higgs pairs. The differential-geometric objects corresponding to stable Higgs pairs is called the vortex equations for Higgs bundles. We analyze the moduli space of stable Higgs pairs when the base space of vector bundle is a compact Riemann surface and obtaine the following results. Firstly, we prove that the moduli space is non-singular complex manifold for a suitable choice of $τ$. Secondly, we determine the Poincaré polynomial of the moduli space for rank 2 bundle. Lastly, we construct a map from the moduli space of stable Higgs pairs to the moduli space of stable Higgs bundles and proved that the map is a fibration under suitable assumptions.
