Search for an Invisible Decaying Higgs Boson in Dilepton Events at CDF
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the first search at the Tevatron for a Higgs boson decaying to an invisible final state. We use the full CDF Run II data set corresponding to 9.7 fb−1 of integrated luminosity. We search in the associated ZH production mode and require two same-flavor, oppositely charged leptons and a significant value of missing transverse energy to be in the final state. We exclude values of σZH×B (H→invisible) greater than 90 fb at 95% credibility level for a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV/c2. We perform this analysis across a Higgs boson mass range of 115 to 150 GeV/c2. We are able to exclude a B (H → invisible) = 100% assumption at Higgs boson masses lower than 120 GeV/c2.

Observing an invisible Higgs boson
Given its weak coupling to bottom quarks and tau leptons, the Higgs boson may predominantly decay into invisible particles like gravitinos, neutralinos, or gravitons. We consider the manifestation of such an invisibly decaying Higgs boson in weak boson fusion at the CERN LHC. Distinctive kinematic distributions of the two quark jets of the signal as compared to Zjj and Wjj backgrounds allow to ...
متن کاملSearch for invisibly decaying Higgs bosons
In the last running years, the four Large Electron Positron collider (LEP) experiments collected a combined luminosity of almost 2.5 fb −1 at √ s ≥ 189 GeV. This data was searched for invisibly decaying Higgs bosons produced in association with a Z boson. The channels with electrons, muons and hadrons were investigated. None of the experiments sees hints for the production of such an invisible ...
متن کاملSearch for ‘invisible’ Higgs signals at LHC via Associated Production with Gauge Bosons
A light Higgs boson with substantial branching ratio into invisible channels can occur in a variety of models with: light neutralinos, spontaneously broken lepton number, radiatively generated neutrino masses, additional singlet scalar(s) and/or right handed neutrinos in the extra dimensions of TeV scale gravity. We study the observability of the WH and ZH modes at LHC with H decaying invisibly...

متن کاملMotivation and detectability of an invisibly- decaying Higgs boson at the Fermilab Tevatron
A Higgs boson with mass below 150 GeV has a total decay width of less than 20 MeV into accessible Standard Model states. This narrow width means that the usual branching fractions for such a light Higgs boson are highly susceptible to any new particles to which it has unsuppressed couplings. In particular, there are many reasonable and interesting theoretical ideas that naturally imply an invis...
