Higgs Boson and Z Boson
The recent discovery of a Higgs boson at the LHC is a milestone in the quest to understand electroweak symmetry breaking. It is an important particle because it is responsible for the Higgs mechanism by which all particles acquire mass. The existence of a particle with zero spin suggests the need for new physics beyond the standard model. Z bosons are known to naturally exist in well-motivate...
متن کاملZ - DECAYS TO b QUARKS AND THE HIGGS BOSON MASS
A model independent analysis of the most recent averages of precision elec-troweak data from LEP and SLD finds a 3σ deviation of the parameter A b from the Standard Model prediction. The fitted value of m H shows a strong dependence on the inclusion or exclusion of b quark data, and the Standard Model fits have poor confidence levels of a few percent when the latter are included. The good fits ...
متن کاملHiggs and Z boson decays into light gluinos
We calculate the decay rate of scalar and pseudoscalar Higgs bosons into a pair of gluinos, within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. In the theoretically and experimentally allowed light gluino window,mg̃ ∼ 3–5 GeV, gluino pairs can completely dominate the decays of the light scalar Higgs boson and play a prominent role in the decay of the pseudoscalar Higgs boson. This would alter the ...
متن کاملHiggs Boson Interference in γγ → W + W −
We study interference effects between resonant and nonresonant amplitudes for the γγ → W + W − process at a backscattered photon-photon collider. We show that a Higgs boson with M H > ∼ 200 GeV is manifest as a resonant dip in the W + W − invariant mass spectrum and we investigate its statistical significance. There has been recent interest in weak gauge boson pair production in γγ collisions a...
متن کاملMeasuring the Higgs boson mass in dileptonic W -boson decays at hadron colliders
It is expected that hadron collider measurements of the Higgs boson mass using the decay h → W+W−, followed by the leptonic decay of each W -boson, will be performed by fitting the shape of a distribution that is sensitive to the Higgs mass. We demonstrate that the variable most commonly used to measure the Higgs mass in this channel is not optimal as it contains an unnecessary and even counter...
