Higgs pair production in vector-boson fusion at the LHC and beyond
The production of pairs of Higgs bosons at hadron colliders provides unique information on the Higgs sector and on the mechanism underlying electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB). Most studies have concentrated on the gluon-fusion production mode which has the largest cross section. However, despite its small production rate, the vector-boson fusion channel can also be relevant since even small m...
متن کاملAnomalous Gauge Interactions of the Higgs Boson: Precision Constraints and Weak Boson Scatterings
Interaction of Higgs scalar (H) with weak gauge bosons (V = W, Z) is the key to understand electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) mechanism. New physics effects in the HV V interactions, as predicted by models of compositeness, supersymmetry and extra dimensions, can be formulated as anomalous couplings via a generic effective Lagrangian. We first show that the existing electroweak precision data...
متن کاملStudies of strong electroweak symmetry breaking at photon colliders.
It has recently been shown that the studies of strongly-interacting electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) at photon colliders, via photon splitting into W pair followed by longitudinal W -boson scattering, could be possible. Here we present a signalbackground analysis for the scattering channels W L W − L → ZLZL and W + L W − L → W L W − L with background coming from the standard model (SM) prod...
متن کاملHiggs boson pair production at the LHC in the bb ̄W+W- channel
We consider Higgs boson pair production at the LHC in the bb ̄W+Wchannel, with subsequent decay of the W+Wpair into ��jj. Employing jet substructure and event reconstruction techniques, we show that strong evidence for this channel can be found at the 14 TeV LHC with 600fb-1 of integrated luminosity, thus improving the current reach for the production of Higgs boson pairs. This measurement will ...
متن کاملStandard Model Higgs Searches at the LHC
The Higgs mechanism [1] is central to the Standard Model of particle physics (SM). The existence of the Higgs field maintains the theory weakly interacting up to high energy scales and prevents some processes from violating unitarity. In the process of spontaneous breaking of electroweak symmetry, the weak bosons W and Z, as well as leptons and quarks, acquire mass through interactions with the...
