    Discrimination of the light CP-odd scalars between in the NMSSM and in the SLHM

    Full text link
    The presence of the light CP-odd scalar boson predicted in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric model (NMSSM) and the simplest little Higgs model (SLHM) dramatically changes the phenomenology of the Higgs sector. We suggest a practical strategy to discriminate the underlying model of the CP-odd scalar boson produced in the decay of the standard model-like Higgs boson. We define the decay rate of "the non bb-tagged jet pair" with which we compute the ratio of decay rates into lepton and jets. They show much different behaviors between the NMSSM and the SLHM.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures (5 figure files

    Two Higgs Doublets Model in Gauge-Higgs Unification framework

    Full text link
    We discuss the realization of two Higgs doublets model in the framework of 6 dimensional Gauge-Higgs Unification model with a simple Lie group G_M. Two Higgs SU(2)_L doublets can emerge at the low energy effective theory, and the quartic coupling terms in the scalar potential, essential for the electroweak symmetry breaking, are now G_M gauge invariant and permissive. A realistic two Higgs doublets model can possibly be obtained only when two of the root vectors associated with the would-be Higgs doublets and the root vector for SU(2)_L form an isosceles triangle with vertex angle either of Pi/3, Pi/2, or 2Pi/3. Moreover, depending on G_M, the scalar potential of resulting two Higgs doublets model can admit only a few limited forms. The mass spectrum of the physical Higgs and the weak mixing angle are briefly discussed.Comment: 5 Pages and 1 figure. Matches published version in PR

    Measuring properties of a Heavy Higgs boson in the HZZ4H\to ZZ \to 4\ell decay

    Full text link
    In many extensions of the standard model, there exist a few extra Higgs bosons. Suppose a heavy neutral Higgs boson H is discovered at the LHC, one could then investigate CP and CPT~ properties of its couplings to a pair of ZZ bosons through HZZ4H \to ZZ \to 4\ell. We use the helicity-amplitude method to write down the most general form for the angular distributions of the four final-state leptons, which can cover the case of CP-even, -odd, and -mixed state for the Higgs boson. We figure out there are 9 types of angular observables and all the HH couplings to ZZ bosons can be fully determined by exploiting them. A Higgs-boson mass of 260 GeV below the ttˉt\bar t threshold is illustrated with full details. With a total of 10310^3 events of HZZ4H \to ZZ \to 4\ell, one can determine the couplings up to 12-20\% uncertainties.Comment: 23 pages, 4 figures, 3 tables, to appear in JHE

    An exact solution of the higher-order gravity in standard radiation-dominated era

    Full text link
    We report that the standard evolution of radiation-dominated era (RDE) universe at1/2a \propto t^{1/2} is a sufficient condition for solving a sixth order gravitational field equation derived from the Lagrangian containing BRabRab+CRR;ccB R^{ab}R_{ab} + C R {R^{;c}}_{c} as well as a polynomial f(R)f(R) for a spatially flat radiation FLRW universe. By virtue of the similarity between RabRabR^{ab}R_{ab} and R2R^2 models up to the background order and of the vanishing property of R;cc{R^{;c}}_{c} for H=1/(2t) H = 1/(2t), the analytical solution can be obtained from a special case to general one. This proves that the standard cosmic evolution is valid even within modified gravitational theory involving higher-order terms. An application of this background solution to the tensor-type perturbation reduces the complicated equation to the standard second order equation of gravitational wave. We discuss the possible ways to discriminate the modified gravity model on the observations such as the gravitational wave from the disturbed universe and primordial abundances

    Higgs-boson-pair production H(bb)H(γγ)H(\rightarrow b\overline{b})H(\rightarrow\gamma\gamma) from gluon fusion at the HL-LHC and HL-100 TeV hadron collider

    Full text link
    We perform the most up-to-date comprehensive signal-background analysis for Higgs-pair production in HHbbˉγγHH \to b\bar b \gamma\gamma channel at the HL-LHC and HL-100 TeV hadron collider, with the goal of probing the self-coupling λ3H\lambda_{3H} of the Higgs boson. We simulate all the standard-model signal and background processes with the simulation tools almost as sophisticated as what experimentalists are using. We find that even for the most promising channel HHbbˉγγHH \to b\bar{b}\gamma\gamma at the HL-LHC with a luminosity of 3000 fb1^{-1}, the significance is still not high enough to establish the Higgs self-coupling at the standard model (SM) value. Instead, we can only constrain the self-coupling to 1.0<λ3H<7.6-1.0 < \lambda_{3H} < 7.6 at 95% 95\% confidence level after considering the uncertainties associated with the top-Yukawa coupling and the estimation of backgrounds. Here we also extend the study to the HL-100 TeV hadron collider. With a luminosity of 3 ab1^{-1}, we find there exists a bulk region of 2.6 \lsim \lambda_{3H} \lsim 4.8 in which one cannot pin down the trilinear coupling. Otherwise one can measure the coupling with a high precision. At the SM value, for example, we show that the coupling can be measured with about 20 \% accuracy. While assuming 30 ab1^{-1}, the bulk region reduces to 3.1 \lsim \lambda_{3H} \lsim 4.3 and the trilinear coupling can be measured with about 7 \% accuracy at the SM value. With all the simulated background events and results, our study can be useful to probe the Higgs potential of various models with extended Higgs sector, such as two-Higgs-doublet model, MSSM, etc.Comment: 35 pages, 21 figures, 15 tables; New section V.
