W boson loop background to H-->ZZ at photon-photon colliders.

چکیده
We have performed a complete one-loop calculation of γγ → ZZ in the Standard Model, including both gauge bosons and fermions in the loop. We confirm the large irreducible continuum background from the W-boson loop found by Jikia. We have included the photon-photon luminosity, and find that the continuum background of transverse Z boson pairs prohibits finding a heavy Higgs with mass ∼ > 350 GeV in this decay mode.

Signals for Low Scale Gravity in the Process γγ → ZZ
We investigate the sensitivity of future photon-photon colliders to low scale gravity scenarios via the process γγ → ZZ where the Kaluza-Klein boson exchange contributes only when the initial state photons have opposite helicity. We contrast this with the situation for the process γγ → γγ where the t and u channel also contribute. We include the one-loop Standard Model background whose interfer...
متن کاملProduction of Z boson pairs at photon linear colliders.
The ZZ pair production rate in high energy γγ collisions is evaluated with pho-tons from laser backscattering. We find that searching for the Standard Model Higgs boson with a mass up to, or slightly larger than, 400 GeV via the ZZ final state is possible via photon fusion with backscattered laser photons at a linear e + e − collider with energies in the range 600 GeV < √ s e + e − < 1000 GeV.
متن کاملDetection of the heavy Higgs boson at γγ colliders
We consider the possibility of detecting a heavy Higgs boson (m H > 2m Z) in proposed γγ colliders through the semi-leptonic mode γγ → H → ZZ → q ¯ qℓ + ℓ −. We show that due to the non-monochromatic nature of the photon beams produced by the laser-backscattering method, the resultant cross section for Higgs production is much smaller than the on-resonance cross section and generally decreases ...
متن کاملIdentifying the Higgs boson in electron-photon collisions.
We analyze the production and detection of the Higgs boson in the next generation of linear ee colliders operating in the eγ mode. In particular, we study the production mechanism e + γ → eγγ → e + H, where one photon is generated via the laser backscattering mechanism, while the other is radiated via the usual bremsstrahlung process. We show that this is the most important mechanism for Higgs ...
متن کاملPhotoproduction of WH signal at electron-proton Colliders
We present the photoproduction of an intermediate mass Higgs (IMH) boson associated with a W boson at the future electron-proton colliders using bremsstrahlung photon beam or laser backscattered photon beam. With bremsstrahlung photon beam the search for the IMH boson is unfavorable because of the small signal rate. But with laser photon beam the search is viable due to a much larger rate, and ...
