Two-photon width of the Higgs boson
This study investigates the potential of a photon collider for measuring the two photon partial width times the branching ratio of a light Higgs boson. The analysis is based on the reconstruction of the Higgs events produced in the γγ →h process, followed by Higgs decay into a bb̄ pair. A statistical error of the measurement of the two-photon width times the bb̄ branching ratio of the Higgs boson...
متن کاملDirect measurement of the W boson width.
We present a direct measurement of the width of the W boson using the shape of the transverse mass distribution of W --> enu candidate events. Data from approximately 1 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity recorded at square root of s = 1.96 TeV by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron pp collider are analyzed. We use the same methods and data sample that were used for our recently published W bo...
متن کاملThe Higgs Boson Width is Adjustable
We show that it is possible to construct models in which the width of the Higgs boson is arbitrary either smaller or larger than a standard model Higgs boson of the same mass. There are no new fields into which the Higgs boson decays. Instead, the coupling of the Higgs boson to the gauge bosons is adjusted. We construct and analyze weakly–coupled models with arbitrary–width Higgs bosons to inve...
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 کاملSupersymmetric QCD corrections to the W -boson width
We calculate the one-loop supersymmetric QCD corrections to the width of the W -boson. We find that these are of order ∼ αs π 1 20 M W M S Γud̄, where MS is the supersymmetry breaking scale and Γud̄ the tree level hadronic width for W + → ud̄. Due to the appearance of the suppression factor ∼ 1 20 these are at least two orders of magnitude smaller than the standard QCD corrections ∼ αs π Γud̄ and h...
