Higgs Pair Production via Vector Boson Fusion at the LHC
نویسنده
چکیده
The measurement of Higgs pair production will be one of the cornerstones of the LHC physics program in the coming years, with the upcoming high-energy and high-luminosity phase. The Vector Boson Fusion (VBF) production channel probes directly the coupling of new physics and of Higgs to gauge bosons, in addition to reducing background contribution. The production via VBF of an heavy object on-shell, subsequently decaying to a Higgs boson pair, may occur: the case of a KK-graviton from warped extra dimension models will be taken as a benchmark. In addition, in the VBF channel, the production of Higgs pairs is sensitive to the strong interactions of a composite Higgs boson, and would allow a direct extraction of the hhVV quartic coupling. Other anomalous couplings of the Higgs to itself or to vector bosons would also lead to modified production rate and kinematics.

Higgs plus two jet production via gluon fusion as a signal at the CERN LHC
Higgs boson production in association with two tagging jets will be mediated by electroweak vector boson fusion and by gluon fusion processes at the CERN LHC. The characteristic distributions for the gluon fusion process are analyzed for the H → W+W− signal at mH = 160 GeV, with subsequent leptonic decay of the W -pair. The dominant backgrounds from top-quark pair production, WWjj production an...

We present the NLO QCD corrections for light Higgs pair production via vector boson fusion at the LHC within the CP conserving type II two higgs doublet model in the form of a fully flexible parton–level Monte Carlo program. Scale dependences on integrated cross sections and distributions are reduced with QCD K–factors of order unity.

We present a study of the Higgs production at the LHC via Weak Boson Fusion, with the Higgs boson decaying into a bb̄ pair. A detailed partonic LO calculation of all the potential backgrounds is performed. We conclude that this channel for Higgs production can be extracted from the backgrounds, and present our estimates of the accuracy in the determination of the Hbb̄ Yukawa coupling. PACS: 12.15...
متن کاملHiggs pair production in vector-boson fusion at the LHC and beyond
The production of pairs of Higgs bosons at hadron colliders provides unique information on the Higgs sector and on the mechanism underlying electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB). Most studies have concentrated on the gluon-fusion production mode which has the largest cross section. However, despite its small production rate, the vector-boson fusion channel can also be relevant since even small m...
متن کاملNext-to-leading order QCD corrections to W and Z production via vector-boson fusion
The production of W or Z bosons in association with two jets is an important background to the Higgs boson search in vector-boson fusion at the LHC. The purely electroweak component of this background is dominated by vector-boson fusion, which exhibits kinematical distributions very similar to the Higgs boson signal. We consider the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to W and Z boson product...
