چکیده

We analyze the production and detection of the Higgs boson in the next generation of linear ee colliders operating in the eγ mode. In particular, we study the production mechanism e + γ → eγγ → e + H, where one photon is generated via the laser backscattering mechanism, while the other is radiated via the usual bremsstrahlung process. We show that this is the most important mechanism for Higgs boson production in a 500 GeV eγ collider for MH∼>140 GeV. We also study the signals and backgrounds for detection of the Higgs in the different decay channels, bb̄, WW, and ZZ, and suggest kinematical cuts to improve the signature of an intermediate mass Higgs boson.

Detecting and Studying Higgs Bosons in Two-Photon Collisions at a Linear Collider

We examine the potential for detecting and studying Higgs bosons in two-photon collisions at a future linear collider. Our study incorporates realistic two-photon spectra based on the most probable available laser technology. Results include detector simulations. We study the cases of: a) a SM-like Higgs boson; b) the heavy MSSM Higgs bosons; c) a Higgs boson with no WW/ZZ couplings from a gene...

Associated Production of Higgs Bosons and a Photon in High–Energy e+e− Collisions

We calculate the cross sections for the production of Higgs particles in association with a photon in ee collisions, ee → γ+Higgs, allowing for the longitudinal polarization of the initial electron and positron beams. We consider the associated production of both the Standard Model Higgs boson, and the neutral CP–even and CP–odd Higgs particles of its minimal supersymmetric extension. Complete ...

Towards a measurement of the two-photon decay width of the Higgs boson at a Photon Collider

A study of the measurement of the two photon decay width times the branching ratio of a Higgs boson with the mass of 120 GeV in photon photon collisions is presented, assuming a γγ integrated luminosity of 80 fb−1 in the high energy part of the spectrum. The analysis is based on the reconstruction of the Higgs events produced in the γγ → H process, followed by the decay of the Higgs into a bb̄ p...

Associated production of Intermediate Higgs or Z - boson with tt̄ pair in γγ collision

Associated production of Intermediate Higgs or Z-boson with t ¯ t pair in γγ collision ABSTRACT Photon-photon linear colliders can be realized by laser back-scattering technique on the next generation linear e + e − colliders. Here the associated productions of an intermediate mass Higgs (IMH) or Z-boson with t ¯ t pair in γγ collisions are studied. Since IMH is very unlikely to decay into t ¯ ...

Physics Possibilities at a Photon Linear Collider*

With the convergence of linear collider and laser technology, a new type of facility may soon be made available for research in fundamental particle physics: a Photon Linear Collider where high energy photon beams, produced by the Compton backscattering of laser photons off linac electrons, are brought into collision with electron beams or with other photon beams. Control over both the spectral...
