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 کاملForward 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...
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 کاملWhy the Real Part of the Proton-proton Forward Scattering Amplitude Should Be Measured at the Lhc
For the energy of 14 TeV, to be reached at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), we have had for some time accurate predictions for both the real and imaginary parts of the forward proton-proton elastic scattering amplitude. LHC is now scheduled to start operating in two years, and it is timely to discuss some of the important consequences of the measurements of both the total cross-section and the ...
متن کاملSilicon Detectors at the LHC
The LHC detectors will have to function in a high radiation environment, fluences of up to 10 1 MeV neutron equivalents (neq)/cm 2 are expected over a 10 year period. They will have to cope with a 40 MHz collision rate and high particle multiplicities. In this environment, the detectors must provide efficient tracking and btagging capabilities. These requirements are met by the silicon systems ...
