Influence of strongly coupled , hidden scalars on Higgs signals

چکیده
To investigate the possible effects of a light hidden sector on Higgs boson detection , we discuss a model of scalar singlets coupled to the Standard Model. The model effectively makes the Higgs width a free parameter due to additional invisible decay modes. This width can become arbitrarily large. Theoretical and experimental bounds on model parameters are presented. It is shown, how Standard Model predictions change and that in the case of large coupling, Higgs signals will be diluted. We study, to which extent such a strongly coupled, hidden sector can be excluded by present and future Higgs search experiments.

Influence of SU ( 2 ) ⊗ U ( 1 ) singlet scalars on Higgs boson signal at LHC
We investigate a model of SU (2) ⊗ U (1) singlet scalars coupled to Standard Model. We point out that for the case of the maximal mixing between singlet scalars and standard Higgs boson the Higgs boson production cross section is smaller than the standard Higgs boson production by factor 1 N +1 , where N is the number of singlet scalars. For the case of big mixing Higgs boson could be nonobserv...
متن کاملOn the Unification of Higgs-Nambu Goldstone Boson in the Formation of Near-brane Exotic Scalar via Scherk-Shwarz Breaking in 5-Dimensional SU(6) Symmetry
The 5D Scherk-Schwarz breaking with orbifold S/Z2 in SU(6) symmetry under special condition leads to a dimensional deconstruction without gauge symmetry breaking where SU(6) Little Higgs-like scalars show up either as weakly-coupled or strongly-coupled. The latest, together with the broken fifth component of 5D gauge boson, composes Coleman-Weinberg potential which can be generalized by substit...
متن کاملHiggs Masses and Couplings in the Nmssm
We give the upper bounds on the masses of the lightest and second lightest CP even Higgs bosons in the NMSSM, the MSSM extended by a gauge singlet. The dominant two loop corrections are included. Since the coupling R of the lightest Higgs scalar to gauge bosons can be small, we study in detail the relation between masses and couplings of both lightest scalars. We present upper bounds on the mas...
متن کاملDynamical Electroweak Superconductivity from a Composite Little Higgs
I describe, from the bottom up, a sequence of natural effective field theories. Below a TeV we have the minimal standard model with a light Higgs, and an extra neutral scalar. In the 1-10 TeV region these scalars are part of a multiplet of pseudo Nambu-Goldstone Bosons (NGBs). Interactions with additional TeV mass scalars, gauge bosons, and vector-like charge 2/3 quarks stabilize the Higgs mass...
متن کاملWeak interactions at very high energies: The role of the Higgs-boson mass
We give an S-matrix-theoretic demonstration that if the Higgs-boson mass exceeds M, = (8m'/3GF)", parital-wave unitarity is not respected by the tree diagrams for two-body scattering of gauge bosons, and the weak interactions must become strong at high energies. We exhibit the relation of this bound to the structure of the Higgs-Goldstone Lagrangian, and speculate on the consequences of strongl...
