Higgs Discovery before Lhc ?
The standard model (SM) of fundamental interactions, has been the successful theory over the last 25 years. The overall success of the SM in describing the elementary interactions, the discovery of gauge bosons at CERN in the eighties as well as the top discovery at Fermilab in 1995, strengthened the expectation that the Higgs mechanism is the one that gives mass to all particles. At the moment...
متن کاملThe No-higgs Signal: Strong Ww Scattering at the Lhc
Strong WW scattering at the LHC is discussed as a manifestation of electroweak symmetry breaking in the absence of a light Higgs boson. The general framework of the Higgs mechanism — with or without a Higgs boson — is reviewed, and unitarity is shown to fix the scale of strong WW scattering. Strong WW scattering is also shown to be a possible outcome of five-dimensional models, which do not emp...
متن کاملDiscovery Potential of the Standard Model Higgs Boson Through H → WW Decay Mode with the ATLAS Detector at LHC
We report results of a study of the Standard Model Higgs boson discovery potential through the W-pair leptonic decay modes with the ATLAS detector at LHC at 14 TeV center-of-mass energy. We used MC samples with full detector simulation and reconstruction of the ATLAS experiment to estimate the ATLAS detection sensitivity for the reaction of pp→ H →WW → eνμν with no hard jet or two hard jets in ...
متن کاملNMSSM Higgs Discovery at the LHC ∗
We demonstrate that Higgs discovery at the LHC is possible in the context of the NMSSM even for those scenarios such that the only strongly produced Higgs boson is a very SM-like CP-even scalar which decays almost entirely to a pair of relatvely light CP-odd states. In combination with other search channels, we are on the verge of demonstrating that detection of at least one of the NMSSM Higgs ...
متن کاملWW as the discovery mode for a light Higgs boson
The production cross section for amH ≈ 115 GeV, SM Higgs boson in weak boson fusion at the LHC is sizable. However, the branching fraction for H → WW is expected to be relatively small. The signal, with its two forward jets, is sufficiently different from the main backgrounds that a signal to background ratio of better than 1:1 can nevertheless be obtained, with large enough rate to allow for a...
