Two-photon width of the Higgs boson
نویسنده
چکیده
This study investigates the potential of a photon collider for measuring the two photon partial width times the branching ratio of a light Higgs boson. The analysis is based on the reconstruction of the Higgs events produced in the γγ →h process, followed by Higgs decay into a bb̄ pair. A statistical error of the measurement of the two-photon width times the bb̄ branching ratio of the Higgs boson is found to be 1.7 % with an integrated luminosity of 80 fb in the high energy part of the spectrum.

Towards a measurement of the two-photon decay width of the Higgs boson at a Photon Collider
A study of the measurement of the two photon decay width times the branching ratio of a Higgs boson with the mass of 120 GeV in photon photon collisions is presented, assuming a γγ integrated luminosity of 80 fb−1 in the high energy part of the spectrum. The analysis is based on the reconstruction of the Higgs events produced in the γγ → H process, followed by the decay of the Higgs into a bb̄ p...
متن کاملAnomalous Radiative Decay of Heavy Higgs Boson
The radiative decay width of a heavy Higgs boson H → W+W−γ for a hard photon is calculated in the Standard Model and its extension with anomalous γWW couplings. Its dependence on the Higgs mass, the two unknown anomalous couplings, and the photon energy cutoff are studied in detail. We show that this radiative decay of a heavy Higgs is not very sensitive to a wide range of the anomalous couplin...
متن کاملMeasurement of the Two Photon Decay Width of the Higgs Boson at the TESLA Photon Collider
We report on the accuracy of the measurement of the two photon decay width of a Higgs boson with the mass of 120 GeV at the TESLA Photon Collider, assuming a γγ integrated luminosity of 80 fb−1 in the hard part of the spectrum. The QCD radiative corrections for the quark pair background processes are taken into account by a reweighting procedure. We found that the product Γ(H → γγ)×BR(H → bb̄) c...
متن کاملPrecision Mass Determination of the Higgs Boson at Photon-photon Colliders
We demonstrate a measurement of the Higgs boson mass by the method of energy scanning at photon-photon colliders, using the high energy edge of the photon spectrum. With an integrated luminosity of 50 fb it is possible to measure the standard model Higgs mass to within 110 MeV in photon-photon collisions for mh = 100 GeV. As for the total width of the Higgs boson, the statistical error ∆Γh/Γh S...
متن کاملMeasuring the two-photon decay width of Intermediate-mass Higgs at a photon-photon collider
Feasibility of a measurement of the partial decay width of the intermediate-mass Higgs boson into two photons at a photon-photon collider is studied by a simulation. The QCD radiative correction for quark pair background processes is taken into account for the realistic background estimation. It is found that the two-photon decay width can be measured with the statistical error of 7.6% with abo...
