searches in gluon fusion at the LHC
WW/ZZ interference for Higgs signal and continuum background as well as signal-background interference is studied for same-flavour lν̄ll̄νl final states produced in gluon-gluon scattering at the LHC for light and heavy Higgs masses with minimal and realistic experimental selection cuts. For the signal cross section, we find WW/ZZ interference effects of O(5%) at MH = 126 GeV. For MH ≥ 200 GeV, we...
متن کاملSoft Gluon Effects in the H→ Ww Search Channel at the Lhc
Non resonant production of WW pairs is the most important background in the Higgs search in the range 155 ∼ <MH ∼< 170 GeV at the LHC. We consider QCD corrections to WW pair production in hadron collisions and present a calculation which consistently combines NLO corrections with soft-gluon resummation at small transverse momenta of the WW pair. Spin correlations are fully taken into account in...
متن کاملSearches for GMSB at the LHC
In SUSY models with Gauge Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking (GMSB) a gravitino is the lightest SUSY particle (LSP), while a neutralino or a slepton is the next-to-lightest (NLSP). For the pair-production of SUSY particles at the LHC large missing transverse energy (from the gravitinos) and two photons or leptons in the final state are expected, if the NLSP decays inside the detector. In the case ...
متن کاملSearches for the Higgs Boson at Lhc
The search strategy for the Standard Model Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider is reviewed, with a particular emphasis on its potential observation by the ATLAS and CMS detectors in the γγ, ττ, ZZ and WW ∗ final states. The combined Higgs discovery potential of ATLAS and CMS is discussed, as well as the expected exclusion limits on the production rate times the branching ratio as a functio...
متن کاملGluon-induced WW background to Higgs boson searches at the LHC
Vector-boson pair production is an important background for Higgs boson and new physics searches at the Large Hadron Collider LHC. We have calculated the loop-induced gluon-fusion process gg → WW → leptons, allowing for arbitrary invariant masses of the intermediate W bosons. This process contributes at O(αs ) relative to quarkantiquark annihilation, but its importance is enhanced by the large ...
