Higgs characterisation at NLO in QCD: CP properties of the top-quark Yukawa interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
At the LHC the CP properties of the top-quark Yukawa interaction can be probed through Higgs production in gluon fusion or in association with top quarks. We consider the possibility for both CP-even and CP-odd couplings to the top quark to be present, and study CP-sensitive observables at next-to-leading order (NLO) in QCD, including parton-shower effects. We show that the inclusion of NLO corrections sizeably reduces the theoretical uncertainties, and confirm that di-jet correlations in [Formula: see text] jet production through gluon fusion and correlations of the top-quark decay products in [Formula: see text] production can provide sensitive probes of the CP nature of the Higgs interactions.

HIGGS RADIATION OFF QUARKS IN SUPERSYMMETRIC THEORIES AT ee COLLIDERS
Yukawa couplings between Higgs bosons and quarks in supersymmetric theories can be measured in the processes ee → QQ̄ + Higgs. We have determined the cross sections of these processes in the minimal supersymmetric model including the complete set of next-to-leading order QCD corrections for all channels. Supported by the EU FF Programme under contract FMRX-CT98-0194 (DG 12 MIHT). Heisenberg-Fell...
متن کاملAssociated production of a top quark and a charged Higgs boson
1550-7998=20 We compute the inclusive and differential cross sections for the associated production of a top quark along with a charged Higgs boson at hadron colliders to next-to-leading order (NLO) in perturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and in supersymmetric QCD. For small Higgs boson masses we include top-quark pair production diagrams with subsequent top-quark decay into a bottom quark...

This article describes the code SusHi (for “Supersymmetric Higgs”) [1] which calculates the cross sections pp/pp → φ + X in gluon fusion and bottom-quark annihilation in the SM, the 2HDM and the MSSM, where φ is any of the neutral Higgs bosons within these models. Apart from inclusive cross sections up to NNLO QCD, differential cross sections with respect to the Higgs transverse momentum pT and...
متن کاملGolden probe of the top Yukuwa coupling
We perform a preliminary study of the ability of the Higgs decay to four leptons to shed light on the top quark Yukawa couplings. In particular we examine whether the h → 4l “golden channel” is sensitive to the CP properties of the top quark couplings to the Higgs boson. We show that kinematic distributions are sensitive to interference of the next-to-leading order electroweak corrections with ...
