چکیده
A search for invisible decays of Higgs bosons is performed using the vector boson fusion and associated ZH production modes. In the ZH mode, the Z boson is required to decay to a pair of charged leptons or a [Formula: see text] quark pair. The searches use the 8 [Formula: see text] pp collision dataset collected by the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to 19.7 [Formula: see text]. Certain channels include data from 7 [Formula: see text] collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 [Formula: see text]. The searches are sensitive to non-standard-model invisible decays of the recently observed Higgs boson, as well as additional Higgs bosons with similar production modes and large invisible branching fractions. In all channels, the observed data are consistent with the expected standard model backgrounds. Limits are set on the production cross section times invisible branching fraction, as a function of the Higgs boson mass, for the vector boson fusion and ZH production modes. By combining all channels, and assuming standard model Higgs boson cross sections and acceptances, the observed (expected) upper limit on the invisible branching fraction at [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] is found to be 0.58 (0.44) at 95 % confidence level. We interpret this limit in terms of a Higgs-portal model of dark matter interactions.

Theoretical Status of Higgs Production at Hadron Colliders in the Standard Model
The search for the Higgs boson, the last missing particle in the Standard Model (SM) responsible for the electroweak symmetry breaking, is a primary goal of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and is a central part of Fermilab’s Tevatron program. In the Standard Model, mass generation is triggered by the Higgs mechanism, which predicts the existence of one scalar particle, the Higgs boson [1]...
متن کاملSearch for ‘invisible’ Higgs signals at LHC via Associated Production with Gauge Bosons
A light Higgs boson with substantial branching ratio into invisible channels can occur in a variety of models with: light neutralinos, spontaneously broken lepton number, radiatively generated neutrino masses, additional singlet scalar(s) and/or right handed neutrinos in the extra dimensions of TeV scale gravity. We study the observability of the WH and ZH modes at LHC with H decaying invisibly...

We study the production and detection of the standard-model Higgs boson at the Fermilab Tevatron. The most promising mode is WH and ZH associated production followed by leptonic decay of the weak vector bosons and H → bb̄. It may be possible to detect a Higgs boson of mass mH = 60–80 GeV with 1000 pb−1 of integrated luminosity. We also study the signature for a non-standard “bosonic” Higgs boson...

We exclude values of σZH×B ...
