HIGLU and HDECAY: Programs for Higgs Boson Production at the LHC and Higgs Boson Decay Widths
نویسنده
چکیده
The total cross section for Higgs boson production via the dominant gluon fusion mechanism including NLO [two-loop] QCD corrections can be calculated numerically with the program HIGLU. The QCD corrections are included for arbitrary Higgs and quark masses and increase the cross section at the LHC by up to a factor of 2. The source code HIGLU provides the evaluation of the production of the Standard Model [SM] Higgs boson as well as the neutral Higgs bosons of the minimal supersymmetric extension [MSSM]. The program HDECAY determines the decay widths and branching ratios of the Higgs bosons within the SM and the MSSM, including the dominant higher-order corrections. The latter are dominated by QCD corrections and two-loop corrections to the couplings and Higgs masses of the MSSM. The program includes all decay modes with branching ratios larger than 10. Moreover, below-threshold decays with off-shell top quarks, gauge and Higgs bosons are implemented. In addition the program is able to calculate the branching ratios of the MSSM Higgs bosons into supersymmetric particles, which can be dominant.

MSSM Higgs Boson Searches at the Tevatron and the LHC: Impact of Different Benchmark Scenarios
The Higgs boson search has shifted from LEP2 to the Tevatron and will subsequently move to the LHC. The current limits from the Tevatron and the prospective sensitivities at the LHC are often interpreted in specific MSSM scenarios. For heavy Higgs boson production and subsequent decay into bb̄ or ττ, the present Tevatron data allow to set limits in the MA–tan β plane for small MA and large tanβ ...
متن کاملHDECAY: a Program for Higgs Boson Decays in the Standard Model and its Supersymmetric Extension
We describe the Fortran code HDECAY, which calculates the decay widths and the branching ratios of the Standard Model Higgs boson, and of the neutral and charged Higgs particles of the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. The program is self-contained (with all subroutines included), easy to run, fast and calculates the decay widths and branching ratios according to the curre...
متن کاملSuggestions for Benchmark Scenarios for MSSM Higgs Boson Searches at Hadron Colliders∗
The Higgs boson search has shifted from LEP2 to the Tevatron and will subsequently move to the LHC. Due to the different initial states, the Higgs production and decay channels relevant for Higgs boson searches were different at LEP2 to what they are at hadron colliders. We suggest new benchmark scenarios for the MSSM Higgs boson search at hadron colliders that exemplify the phenomenology of di...
متن کاملCross-sections and branching ratios for charged Higgs searches
For the preparation of the experimental search for charged Higgs bosons at the LHC detailed studies have been made to determine the expected charged Higgs boson production cross-sections and decay branching ratios at √ s = 14 TeV. In the mass regime below the t-quark mass the expected production cross-sections are discussed using PYTHIA and FeynHiggs program packages based on the decay t → Hb. ...
متن کاملMeasurement of Higgs Properties at the Lhc ∗
A SM-like Higgs boson can be produced in a variety of channels at the LHC. By combining information from production via gluon fusion and weak boson fusion, various partial widths and the total Higgs boson width can be extracted. Expected accuracies for 200 fb −1 of data are in the 10% range.
