Can an invisible Higgs boson be seen via diffraction at the LHC ?

چکیده
We study the possibility of observing an ‘invisible’ Higgs boson in central exclusive diffractive production at the LHC. We evaluate the cross section using, as a simple example, the Standard Model with a heavy fourth generation, where the invisible decay mode H → ν4ν̄4 dominates, with the heavy neutrino mass M(ν4) ≃ 50 GeV. We discuss the possible requirements on trigger conditions and the background processes.

Observing an invisible Higgs boson
Given its weak coupling to bottom quarks and tau leptons, the Higgs boson may predominantly decay into invisible particles like gravitinos, neutralinos, or gravitons. We consider the manifestation of such an invisibly decaying Higgs boson in weak boson fusion at the CERN LHC. Distinctive kinematic distributions of the two quark jets of the signal as compared to Zjj and Wjj backgrounds allow to ...
متن کاملSignatures of an Invisibly Decaying Higgs Particle at LHC
The Higgs particle can decay dominantly into an invisible channel in the Majoron models. We have explored the prospect of detecting such a Higgs particle at LHC via its associated production with a gluon, Z or W boson. While the signal/background ratio is too small for the first process, the latter two provide viable signatures for detecting such a Higgs particle. E-mail : [email protected]

In this research we study the Mono-Z signature along with dark matter production at the LHC in a renormalizable dark matter model. We look at processes with L+L-+MET in the final state. We simulate signal and background events at central mass energy 14 TeV We then evaluate the LHC sensitivities for some points in the model parameter space for two integrated luminosities L=100 fb-1 and L=1 ab-1 ...

The existence of 4 SM family results in an essential enhancement of the gluon fusion channel of Higgs boson production at hadron colliders. In this case, the SM Higgs boson could be seen at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) via the golden mode (H0 → 4l) even at Lint ≈ fb−1. One of the primary goals at the LHC, is to observe the Standard Model (SM) Higgs particle (H). The LEP data already set...

In the large extra dimension model of Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos and Dvali the presence of an interaction between the Ricci scalar curvature and the Higgs doublet of the Standard Model makes a light Higgs boson observable at LHC at the 5 σ level through the fusion process pp → W ∗W ∗ +X → Higgs, graviscalars+X → invisible+X for the portion of the Higgs-graviscalar mixing (ξ) and effective Planck ...
