Optimizing the Linear Collider Detector for the Measurement of the Higgs to Charm Branching Ratio∗ TOSHINORI ABE and AARON
نویسنده
چکیده
Several different vertex detector designs for the Linear Collider Detector (LCD) are evaluated in the context of measurements of the branching ratio of the standard model Higgs particle decaying into charm/anti-charm final states. Fast Monte Carlo simulations are used to model the detector and neural network-optimized flavor tagging is used to perform the measurements. These tools are used to study the effects of pixel resolution, material thickness, and inner layer radius on the flavor tagging efficiency-purity curve and ultimately on the branching ratio measurement error.

Measurement of the Higgs boson decay branching ratio to charm quarks at the ILC
We present an analysis for the measurement of the Higgs Boson branching ratio BR(H → cc̄) for a light Standard Model-like Higgs boson produced at 250 GeV centre of mass energy at the International Linear Collider (ILC). The tools and technique used for the analysis are described and relative statistical uncertainities are determined.

We study the rare top-quark decay t → ch, where h is a generic Higgs boson, at a linear collider. If kinematically accessible, all models contain this decay at some level due to quark flavor mixing. Some models, such as Model III of the two-Higgs doublet model, have a tree-level top-charm-Higgs coupling, and the branching ratio is close to 0.5%. Others, such as the MSSM, have a coupling induced...
متن کاملMeasurement of Higgs Branching Ratio at ILC
Measurement of Higgs branching ratio is necessary to investigate Higgs coupling to particle masses. Especially, it is the most important program to measure the branching ratio of H → bb̄ and H → cc̄ at the international linear collider (ILC). We have studied the measurement accuracy of Higgs branching ratio at ILC with √ s = 250 GeV by using ZH → νν̄H events. We obtained the Higgs branching ratio ...
متن کاملMeasuring Higgs Branching Ratios and telling the SM from a MSSM Higgs Boson at the e+e− Linear Collider
An accurate determination of the Higgs decay branching ratios to b ¯ b, c¯ c, gg, W W * and τ + τ − pairs is important for the study of the Higgs couplings and for determining its SM or MSSM nature in the mass range 100 GeV/c 2 < M H < 140 GeV/c 2. This measurement also represents an important benchmark for the optimisation of the detector design. The accuracy on the determination of the Higgs ...

We have studied the impact of charged track resolution on Higgs mass and production cross section measurement in the process ee → ZH,Z → ll,H → X for Higgs masses between 120 and 160 GeV, and on smuon mass measurement using smuon pair production for three different mass pairs, assuming the International Linear Collider(ILC) is operated at 500 GeV center of mass energies (CME) with integrated lu...
