The rapidity gap Higgs signal at LHC
We compare the WW and pomeron-pomeron fusion mechanisms for the doublediffractive production of a Higgs boson. We determine the suppression of the ‘rapidity gap’ pomeron-pomeron fusion events due to QCD radiative effects. In particular we use leading log techniques to estimate the cross sections for both exclusive and inclusive double-diffractive Higgs production at LHC energies. The same appro...
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 کاملSignal-background interference for a singlet spin-0 digluon resonance at the LHC
Dijet mass distributions can be used to search for spin-0 resonances that couple to two gluons. I show that there is a substantial impact on such searches from the interference between the resonant signal and the continuum QCD background amplitudes. The signal dijet mass distribution is qualitatively modified by this interference, compared to the naive expectation from considering only the pure...
متن کاملExperimental considerations motivated by the diphoton excess at the LHC
We consider the immediate or near-term experimental opportunities offered by some scenarios that could explain the new diphoton excess at the LHC. If the excess is due to a new particle Xs at 750 GeV, additional new particles are required, providing further signals. If connected with naturalness, the Xs may be produced in top partner decays. Then a t ′t̄′ signal, with t′ → tXs and Xs → gg domina...
