Can an invisible Higgs boson be seen via diffraction at the LHC ?
We study the possibility of observing an ‘invisible’ Higgs boson in central exclusive diffractive production at the LHC. We evaluate the cross section using, as a simple example, the Standard Model with a heavy fourth generation, where the invisible decay mode H → ν4ν̄4 dominates, with the heavy neutrino mass M(ν4) ≃ 50 GeV. We discuss the possible requirements on trigger conditions and the back...
متن کاملCan the Higgs be seen in rapidity gap events at the Tevatron or the LHC ?
Double diffractive Higgs production at pp (or p̄p) colliders continues to attract attention as a potential signal in the search for the boson. We present improved perturbative QCD estimates of the event rates for both the exclusive and inclusive double diffractive Higgs processes, paying particular attention to the survival probability of the rapidity gaps. We find that the major uncertainty is ...
متن کاملHiggs Pair Production via Vector Boson Fusion at the LHC
The measurement of Higgs pair production will be one of the cornerstones of the LHC physics program in the coming years, with the upcoming high-energy and high-luminosity phase. The Vector Boson Fusion (VBF) production channel probes directly the coupling of new physics and of Higgs to gauge bosons, in addition to reducing background contribution. The production via VBF of an heavy object on-sh...
متن کاملObserving an invisible Higgs boson
Given its weak coupling to bottom quarks and tau leptons, the Higgs boson may predominantly decay into invisible particles like gravitinos, neutralinos, or gravitons. We consider the manifestation of such an invisibly decaying Higgs boson in weak boson fusion at the CERN LHC. Distinctive kinematic distributions of the two quark jets of the signal as compared to Zjj and Wjj backgrounds allow to ...
متن کاملHiggs Boson Properties and BSM Higgs Boson Searches at LHC
In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), the minimal extension of the Standard Model (SM), two Higgs doublets are required, resulting in five observable Higgs bosons. Three of them are electrically neutral (h, H , and A) while two of them are charged (H). At tree level their properties like masses, widths and branching fractions can be predicted in terms of only two parameters, typi...
