Exploiting h!W W Decays at the Upgraded Fermilab Tevatron
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the observability of a Standard Model-like Higgs boson at an upgraded Fermilab Tevatron via the mode h ! W W . We perform detector level simulations for the gg ! h ! W W ! ` ̀ and q q ! W h ! W W W ! ` ` jj channels. We nd that with a c. m. energy of 2 TeV and an integrated luminosity of 30 fb 1 the signal should be observable at a 3 level or better for the mass range of 145 GeV < mh < 180 GeV. For 95% CL exclusion, the mass reach is 135 GeV < mh < 190 GeV. We conclude that the upgraded Fermilab Tevatron will have the potential to signi cantly advance our knowledge of Higgs boson physics.

Soft Gluon Radiation in Top Events: Effect of Hadronic W Decays
In reconstructing the top quark momentum from its decay products, one must account for extra jets that can result from radiation of gluons. In this paper we study soft gluon radiation in top production and decay at the Fermilab Tevatron. We consider the cases where one or both W bosons decays hadronically, i.e., where at least one of the top quarks can be fully reconstructed. We show results fo...

We study the neutral Higgs boson production via the gluon fusion process with the ττ final state at the upgraded Fermilab Tevatron, including a complete simulation of signal channels and leading background processes. For the SM Higgs boson, this h → ττ channel may provide important addition for the Higgs boson discovery in the mass range 120 − 140 GeV. In minimal supersymmetric models, natural ...
متن کاملDirect Measurement of the Top Quark Charge at Hadron Colliders
We consider photon radiation in t̄t events at the upgraded Fermilab Tevatron and the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) as a tool to measure the electric charge of the top quark. We analyze the contributions of t̄tγ production and radiative top quark decays to p p (−) → γ`±νb̄bjj, assuming that both b-quarks are tagged. With 20 fb−1 at the Tevatron, the possibility that the “top quark” discovered in...
متن کامل0 BTeV - an Experiment to Measure Mixing , CP Violation and Rare Decays of Beauty and Charm at the
We discuss the physics goals and rationale for a detector to study Beauty and Charm decays in the forward direction at the Fermilab Tevatron. We then describe the BTeV detector which has been designed to achieve these goals and present its physics reach based on extensive simulation. We conclude by comparing BTeV to other experiments designed to explore similar topics.
متن کاملNew Higgs couplings at ee and hadronic colliders
We examine the potentiality of both CERN LEP and Fermilab Tevatron colliders to establish bounds on new couplings involving the bosonic sector of the standard model. We pay particular attention to the anomalous Higgs interactions with g, W, and Z. A combined exclusion plot for the coefficients of different anomalous operators is presented. The sensitivity that can be achieved at the Next Linear...
