Higgs Boson Production and Decay in Little Higgs Models with T-parity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study Higgs boson production and decay in a certain class of Little Higgs models with T-parity in which some T-parity partners of the Standard Model (SM) fermions gain their masses through Yukawa-type couplings. We find that the Higgs boson production cross section of a 120 GeV Higgs boson at the CERN LHC via gg fusion process at one-loop level could be reduced by about 45%, 35% and 20%, as compared to its SM prediction, for a relatively low new particle mass scale f = 600, 700 and 1000 GeV, respectively. On the other hand, the weak boson fusion cross section is close to the SM value. Furthermore, the Higgs boson decay branching ratio into di-photon mode can be enhanced by about 35% in small Higgs mass region in certain case, for the total decay width of Higgs boson in the Little Higgs model is always smaller than that in the SM.

متن کاملInvisibly decaying Higgs boson in the Littlest Higgs model with T-parity
We show that there are regions in the parameter space of the Littlest Higgs model with T-parity, allowed by electroweak precision data, where the Higgs boson can decay invisibly into a pair of heavy photons AH with a substantial branching ratio. For a symmetry breaking scale f in the range 450-600 GeV, the BR(H → AHAH) can be up to 95% for an intermediate mass Higgs, and from 20% down to a few ...
متن کاملTop Quarks and Electroweak Symmetry Breaking in Little Higgs Models
Little Higgs’ models, in which the Higgs particle arises as a pseudoGoldstone boson, have a natural mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking associated with the large value of the top quark Yukawa coupling. The mechanism typically involves a new heavy SU(2)L singlet top quark, T . We discuss the relationship of the Higgs boson and the two top quarks. We suggest experimental tests of the Littl...

We present a very promising method for a measurement of the Higgs boson parity using the H/A → τ + τ − → ρ + ¯ ν τ ρ − ν τ → π + π 0 ¯ ν τ π − π 0 ν τ decay chain. The method is both model independent and independent of the Higgs production mechanism. Angular distributions of the τ decay products which are sensitive to the Higgs boson parity are defined and are found to be measurable using typi...
متن کاملPhenomenology of Mirror Fermions in the Littlest Higgs Model with T-Parity
Little Higgs models are an interesting alternative to explain electroweak symmetry breaking without fine-tuning. Supplemented with a discrete symmetry (T-parity) constraints from electroweak precision data are naturally evaded and also a viable dark matter candidate is obtained. T-parity implies the existence of new (mirror) fermions in addition to the heavy gauge bosons of the little Higgs mod...
