Electromagnetic Higgs production
نویسنده
چکیده
The cross section for central diffractive Higgs production is calculated, for the LHC range of energies. The graphs for the possible mechanisms for Higgs production, through pomeron fusion and photon fusions are calculated for all possibilities allowed by the standard model. The cross section for central diffractive Higgs production through pomeron fusion, must be multiplied by a factor for the survival probability, to isolate the Higgs signal and reduce the background. Due to the small value of the survival probability ( 4 × 10−3 ) , the cross sections for central diffractive Higgs production, in the two cases for pomeron fusion and photon fusion, are competitive.

Higgs production as a probe of Chameleon Dark Energy
In this paper we study various particle physics effects of a light, scalar dark energy field with chameleon-like couplings to matter. We show that a chameleon model with only matter couplings will induce a coupling to photons. In doing so, we derive the first microphysical realization of a chameleonic dark energy model coupled to the electromagnetic field strength. This analysis provides additi...
متن کاملZz-fusion Channel in the Standard Model
In this paper, we extend the analyses carried out in a previous article for W W-fusion to the case of Higgs production via ZZ-fusion within the Standard Model at the Next Linear Collider, in presence of electromagnetic radiation due real photon emission. Calculations are carried out at tree-level and rates of the leading order (LO) processes

We evaluate the prospects for measuring B(h !) for a Standard-Model-like Higgs boson at the Next Linear e + e ? Collider in the e + e ? ! Z ? ! Zh and e + e ? ! e e h production modes. Relative merits of diierent machine energy/luminosity strategies and diierent electromagnetic calorimeter designs are evaluated. We emphasize the importance of measuring B(h !) in order to obtain the total width ...
متن کاملMagnetic field production after inflation
We study the electromagnetic field production during preheating after hybrid inflation in a model with the field content of the Standard Model, coupled to a singlet inflaton. We find that very soon after symmetry breaking our system enters a regime of kinetic turbulence, characterized by a self-similar behaviour of the energy spectra and a power-like dependence on time of the inflaton and Higgs...

If spacetime contains large compact extra dimensions, the fundamental mass scale of nature, Λ, may be close to the weak scale, allowing gravitational physics to significantly modify electroweak symmetry breaking. Operators of the form (1/Λ2)|φ†Dμφ|2 and (1/Λ)φWμνB φ, where Wμν and B μν are the SU(2) and U(1) field strengths and φ is the Higgs field, remove the precision electroweak bound on the...
