Extending the study of the Higgs sector at the LHC by proton tagging

M. G. Ryskin

چکیده

We show that forward proton tagging may significantly enlarge the potential of studying the Higgs sector at the LHC. We concentrate on Higgs production via central exclusive diffractive processes (CEDP). Particular attention is paid to regions in the MSSM parameter space where the partial width of the Higgs boson decay into two gluons much exceeds the SM case; here the CEDP are found to have special advantages.

Forward Proton Detectors at High Luminosity at the Lhc

The term “high luminosity” throughout this article is taken to mean “luminosities at which event pile-up is significant”. In that case, the rapidity gaps typical of diffractive events tend to be filled in by particles from the overlaid pile-up events. Hence the selection of diffractive events has to rely entirely on tagging the diffractively scattered protons which escape intact down the beam-p...

Studying the MSSM Higgs sector by forward proton tagging at the LHC

We show that the use of forward proton detectors at the LHC installed at 220 m and 420 m distance around ATLAS and / or CMS can provide important information on the Higgs sector of the MSSM. We analyse central exclusive production of the neutral CP-even Higgs bosons h and H and their decays into bottom quarks, τ leptons and W bosons in different MSSM benchmark scenarios. Using plausible estimat...

‌قید‌های تک Z روی مدل ماده‌ تاریک فرمیونی با واسطه شبه اسکالر در LHC

In this research we study the Mono-Z signature along with dark matter production at the LHC in a renormalizable dark matter model. We look at processes with L+L-+MET in the final state. We simulate signal and background events at central mass energy 14 TeV We then evaluate the LHC sensitivities for some points in the model parameter space for two integrated luminosities L=100 fb-1 and L=1 ab-1 ...

Detecting the Standard Model Higgs Boson in the WW decay channel using forward pro - ton tagging at the LHC

We present a detailed study of the central exclusive production of the Standard Model Higgs Boson in the WW decay channel at the LHC. We include estimates of the experimental acceptance, including that of the proposed proton tagging detectors at 220m and 420m around either ATLAS and / or CMS, and the level 1 trigger acceptances. We give first estimates of the photon-photon and glue-glue backgro...
