Higgs Boson Interference in γγ → W + W −

چکیده
We study interference effects between resonant and nonresonant amplitudes for the γγ → W + W − process at a backscattered photon-photon collider. We show that a Higgs boson with M H > ∼ 200 GeV is manifest as a resonant dip in the W + W − invariant mass spectrum and we investigate its statistical significance. There has been recent interest in weak gauge boson pair production in γγ collisions as a means of testing the Standard Model and studying a Higgs boson with a mass up to a few hundred GeV[1, 2, 3]. Photons with the necessary energies may be produced by backscattering low energy laser beams at future e

The heavy neutral Higgs signature in the γγ → ZZ process
If the Standard Model (SM) Higgs particle is sufficiently heavy, then its contribution to γγ → ZZ should be largely imaginary, interfering with the predominantly imaginary W -loop generated SM ”background”. We find that for standard model Higgs masses in the region 200 . mH . 500 GeV, this interference is indeed constructive and increases the Higgs signal. In the minimal SUSY case an interferen...
متن کاملHiggs Boson Search at Photon Collider for Mh = 140 − 190 Gev.
A Higgs boson within the mass range M H = 140 − 190 GeV can be discovered at a photon collider in the reaction γγ → W W (with real or virtual W). Quite moderate resolution in the effective mass of the W W system is required.
متن کاملCharged Higgs Production in Association with W Boson
It is important to explore the Higgs sector in order to identify the model beyond the standard model. We study the charged Higgs production in the γγ mode of a linear collider (LC) with 1000 GeV center of mass energy. We show that the cross sections for the γγ → H±W∓ processes can be significantly enhanced in the two Higgs doublet model (THDM). The cross section can reach 0.1 − 100 fb which is ...
متن کاملHiggs Physics with a γγ Collider Based on CLIC 1
We present the machine parameters and physics capabilities of the CLIC Higgs Experiment (CLICHE), a low-energy γγ collider based on CLIC 1, the demonstration project for the higher-energy two-beam accelerator CLIC. CLICHE is conceived as a factory capable of producing around 20,000 light Higgs bosons per year. We discuss the requirements for the CLIC 1 beams and a laser backscattering system ca...

A Higgs boson within the mass range M H = 140 − 190 GeV can be discovered at a photon collider in the reaction γγ → W W (with real or virtual W) with the luminosity integral about 1 fb −1. The reasonable resolution in the effective mass of the W W system is required. A discovery of the Higgs boson is one of the main goals for the next generation of colliders.
