    Study of the Higgs-boson decays into WW and ZZ at the Photon Collider

    Get PDF
    Production of the Standard Model Higgs-boson at the Photon Collider at TESLA is studied for the Higgs-boson masses above 150 GeV. Simulation of signal and background processes takes into account realistic luminosity spectra and detector effects. In the considered mass range, large interference effects are expected in the W+W- decay channel. By reconstructing W+W- and ZZ final states, not only the h->gamma gamma partial width can be measured, but also the relative phase of the scattering amplitude. This opens a new window for the precise determination of the Higgs-boson couplings. Models with heavy, fourth-generation fermions and with enlarged Higgs sector (2HDM (II)) are considered.Comment: 19 pages, 18 figures; updated version with improved precision of estimate

    Determination of the Higgs-boson couplings and H-A mixing in the generalized SM-like Two Higgs Doublet Model

    Full text link
    The feasibility of measuring the Higgs-boson properties at the Photon Collider at TESLA has been studied in detail for masses between 200 and 350 GeV, using realistic luminosity spectra and detector simulation. We consider the Two Higgs Doublet Model (II) with SM-like Yukawa couplings for h, parametrized by only one parameter (tan(beta)). The combined measurement of the invariant-mass distributions in the ZZ and W+W- decay-channels is sensitive to both the two-photon width Gamma_{gamma gamma} and phase Phi_{gamma gamma}. From the analysis including systematic uncertainties we found out that after one year of Photon Collider running with nominal luminosity the expected precision in the measurement of tan(beta) is of the order of 10%, for both light (h) and heavy (H) scalar Higgs bosons. The H-A mixing angle Phi_{HA}, characterizing a weak CP violation in the model with two Higgs doublets, can be determined to about 100 mrad, for low tan(beta).Comment: 17 pages, 9 figures; published versio

    Infrastructure for Detector Research and Development towards the International Linear Collider

    Full text link
    The EUDET-project was launched to create an infrastructure for developing and testing new and advanced detector technologies to be used at a future linear collider. The aim was to make possible experimentation and analysis of data for institutes, which otherwise could not be realized due to lack of resources. The infrastructure comprised an analysis and software network, and instrumentation infrastructures for tracking detectors as well as for calorimetry.Comment: 54 pages, 48 picture

    Search for lepton-flavor violation at HERA

    A search for lepton-flavor-violating interactions epμXe p \to \mu X and epτXe p\to \tau X has been performed with the ZEUS detector using the entire HERA I data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 130 pb^{-1}. The data were taken at center-of-mass energies, s\sqrt{s}, of 300 and 318 GeV. No evidence of lepton-flavor violation was found, and constraints were derived on leptoquarks (LQs) that could mediate such interactions. For LQ masses below s\sqrt{s}, limits were set on λeq1βq\lambda_{eq_1} \sqrt{\beta_{\ell q}}, where λeq1\lambda_{eq_1} is the coupling of the LQ to an electron and a first-generation quark q1q_1, and βq\beta_{\ell q} is the branching ratio of the LQ to the final-state lepton \ell (μ\mu or τ\tau) and a quark qq. For LQ masses much larger than s\sqrt{s}, limits were set on the four-fermion interaction term λeqαλqβ/MLQ2\lambda_{e q_\alpha} \lambda_{\ell q_\beta} / M_{\mathrm{LQ}}^2 for LQs that couple to an electron and a quark qαq_\alpha and to a lepton \ell and a quark qβq_\beta, where α\alpha and β\beta are quark generation indices. Some of the limits are also applicable to lepton-flavor-violating processes mediated by squarks in RR-Parity-violating supersymmetric models. In some cases, especially when a higher-generation quark is involved and for the process epτXe p\to \tau X , the ZEUS limits are the most stringent to date.Comment: 37 pages, 10 figures, Accepted by EPJC.

    Multijet production in neutral current deep inelastic scattering at HERA and determination of alpha_s

    Get PDF
    Multijet production rates in neutral current deep inelastic scattering have been measured in the range of exchanged boson virtualities 10 < Q2 < 5000 GeV2. The data were taken at the ep collider HERA with centre-of-mass energy sqrt(s) = 318 GeV using the ZEUS detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 82.2 pb-1. Jets were identified in the Breit frame using the k_T cluster algorithm in the longitudinally invariant inclusive mode. Measurements of differential dijet and trijet cross sections are presented as functions of jet transverse energy E_{T,B}{jet}, pseudorapidity eta_{LAB}{jet} and Q2 with E_{T,B}{jet} > 5 GeV and -1 < eta_{LAB}{jet} < 2.5. Next-to-leading-order QCD calculations describe the data well. The value of the strong coupling constant alpha_s(M_Z), determined from the ratio of the trijet to dijet cross sections, is alpha_s(M_Z) = 0.1179 pm 0.0013(stat.) {+0.0028}_{-0.0046}(exp.) {+0.0064}_{-0.0046}(th.)Comment: 22 pages, 5 figure

    Measurement of charm fragmentation ratios and fractions in photoproduction at HERA

    Full text link
    The production of D^*+, D^0, D^+, D_s^+ and Lambda_c^+ charm hadrons and their antiparticles in ep scattering at HERA was measured with the ZEUS detector using an integrated luminosity of 79 pb^-1. The measurement has been performed in the photoproduction regime with the exchanged-photon virtuality Q^2 < 1 GeV^2 and for photon-proton centre-of-mass energies in the range 130 < W < 300 GeV. The charm hadrons were reconstructed in the range of transverse momentum p_T(D, Lambda_c) > 3.8 GeV and pseudorapidity |eta(D, Lambda_c)| < 1.6. The production cross sections were used to determine the ratio of neutral and charged D-meson production rates, R_u/d, the strangeness-suppression factor, gamma_s, and the fraction of charged D mesons produced in a vector state, P_v^d. The measured R_u/d and gamma_s values agree with those obtained in deep inelastic scattering and in e^+e^- annihilations. The measured P_v^d value is smaller than, but consistent with, the previous measurements. The fractions of c quarks hadronising as a particular charm hadron, f(c -> D, Lambda_c), were derived in the given kinematic range. The measured open-charm fragmentation fractions are consistent with previous results, although the measured f(c -> D^*+) is smaller and f(c -> Lambda_c^+) is larger than those obtained in e^+e^- annihilations. These results generally support the hypothesis that fragmentation proceeds independently of the hard sub-process.Comment: 29 pages, 5 figures, 6 tables; minor text revision

    Higgs Physics at the CLIC Electron-Positron Linear Collider

    Get PDF
    The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is an option for a future e+e- collider operating at centre-of-mass energies up to 3 TeV, providing sensitivity to a wide range of new physics phenomena and precision physics measurements at the energy frontier. This paper is the first comprehensive presentation of the Higgs physics reach of CLIC operating at three energy stages: sqrt(s) = 350 GeV, 1.4 TeV and 3 TeV. The initial stage of operation allows the study of Higgs boson production in Higgsstrahlung (e+e- -> ZH) and WW-fusion (e+e- -> Hnunu), resulting in precise measurements of the production cross sections, the Higgs total decay width Gamma_H, and model-independent determinations of the Higgs couplings. Operation at sqrt(s) > 1 TeV provides high-statistics samples of Higgs bosons produced through WW-fusion, enabling tight constraints on the Higgs boson couplings. Studies of the rarer processes e+e- -> ttH and e+e- -> HHnunu allow measurements of the top Yukawa coupling and the Higgs boson self-coupling. This paper presents detailed studies of the precision achievable with Higgs measurements at CLIC and describes the interpretation of these measurements in a global fit.The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is an option for a future e+e{\mathrm{e}^{+}}{\mathrm{e}^{-}} collider operating at centre-of-mass energies up to 3TeV3\,\text {TeV} , providing sensitivity to a wide range of new physics phenomena and precision physics measurements at the energy frontier.
