Padé-Improvement of Hadronic Higgs Decays
نویسنده
چکیده
Asymptotic Padé-approximant methods are utilized to estimate the O(α5s) contribution to the H → gg rate and the O(α4s) contribution to the H → bb̄ rate. The former process is of particular interest because of the slow convergence evident from the three known terms of its QCD series, which begins with an O(α2s) leading-order term. The O(α5s) contribution to the H → gg rate is expressed as a degree-3 polynomial in L ≡ ln(μ 2/m2t (μ)). We find that asymptotic Padé-approximant predictions for the coefficients of L, L, and L are respectively within 1%, 2%, and 7% of true values extracted via renormalization-group methods. Upon including the full set of next-order coefficients, the H → gg rate is found to be virtually scale-independent over the 0.3 MH < ∼ μ < ∼ Mt range of the renormalization scale-parameter μ. We conclude by discussing the small O(α4s) contribution to the H → bb̄ rate, which is obtained from a prior asymptotic Padé-approximant estimate of the O(α4s) contribution to the quark-antiquark scalar-current correlation function.

متن کاملCharged Higgs Effects on Exclusive Semi-tauonic B Decays
We study effects of charged Higgs boson exchange in the B semileptonic decays B̄ → D(∗)τ ν̄τ . Both branching ratio and τ polarization are examined. We use the recent experimental data on semileptonic B decays and the heavy quark effective theory in order to reduce theoretical uncertainty in the hadronic form factors. Theoretical uncertainty in the branching ratio is found to be rather small and ...
متن کاملReconstructing Sparticle Mass Spectra using Hadronic Decays
Most sparticle decay cascades envisaged at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) involve hadronic decays of intermediate particles. We use state-of-the art techniques based on the K⊥ jet algorithm to reconstruct the resulting hadronic final states for simulated LHC events in a number of benchmark supersymmetric scenarios. In particular, we show that a general method of selecting preferentially booste...
متن کاملTransverse mass observables for charged Higgs searches in top decays at the LHC
Light charged Higgs bosons (mH+ < mtop), if exist, are expected to be copiously produced at the LHC via top quark decays t → H+b. The dominant decay mode in this mass range is to a τ-lepton and a neutrino. We study the semi-leptonic and di-leptonic channels in which the τ decays leptonically (i.e. to an electron or a muon). The presence of an isolated lepton offers a cleaner experimental signat...
