Probing Hidden Sector Photons through the Higgs Window

چکیده
We investigate the possibility that a (light) hidden sector extra photon receives its mass via spontaneous symmetry breaking of a hidden sector Higgs boson, the so-called hidden-Higgs. The hidden-photon can mix with the ordinary photon via a gauge kinetic mixing term. The hidden-Higgs can couple to the Standard Model Higgs via a renormalizable quartic term – sometimes called the Higgs Portal. We discuss the implications of this light hidden-Higgs in the context of laser polarization and light-shining-through-the-wall experiments as well as cosmological, astrophysical, and non-Newtonian force measurements. For hidden-photons receiving their mass from a hidden-Higgs we find in the small mass regime significantly stronger bounds than the bounds on massive hidden sector photons alone.

Probing MSSM Higgs Sector with Explicit CP Violation at a Photon Linear Collider
The CP properties of Higgs bosons can be probed through their s–channel resonance productions via photon–photon collisions by use of circularly and/or linearly polarized backscattered laser photons at a TeV–scale linear e+e− collider. Exploiting this powerful tool, we investigate in detail the Higgs sector of the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model with explicit CP violation. PACS number(s): ...
متن کاملProbing Mssm Higgs Sector Cp Violation at a Photon Collider *
We study the phenomenological implications of the Higgs sector CP violation at a photon collider. In our model, the CP violation is radiatively induced by the non–trivial CP phases of the third–generation scalar–quark sector in the MSSM. We re–evaluate the s–channel resonance production cross sections and the polarization asymmetries of the neutral Higgs bosons based on the calculation of the m...

Probing the CP of the Higgs at a γγ collider using γγ → t ¯ t → lX. ABSTRACT We present results of an investigation to study CP violation in the Higgs sector in t ¯ t production at a γγ-collider. This is done in a model independent way in terms of six form-factors {ℜ(S γ), ℑ(S γ), ℜ(P γ), ℑ(P γ), S t , P t } which parameterize the CP mixing in Higgs sector. The angular distribution of the decay...

The two-photon collision option of the International Linear ee Collider (ILC), a photon linear collider (PLC), is using back-scattered laser photons off the incident electrons and/or positrons. 1,2 A photon collider provides unique capabilities for probing new physics appearing in neutral spin-zero particles such as neutral Higgs bosons in the Standard Model (SM) and its Minimal Supersymmetric ...
متن کاملA Minimal Spontaneously Broken Hidden Sector and its Impact on Higgs Boson Physics at the Large Hadron Collider
Little experimental data bears on the question of whether there is a spontaneously broken hidden sector that has no Standard Model quantum numbers. Here we discuss the prospects of finding evidence for such a hidden sector through renormalizable interactions of the Standard Model Higgs boson with a Higgs boson of the hidden sector. We find that the lightest Higgs boson in this scenario has smal...
