LC/LHC 14/2 CERN RADIONS Albert De Roeck (CERN) 1 Radion-Higgs Search at LHC/LC Work in progress
LC/LHC 14/2 CERN RADIONS Albert De Roeck (CERN) 2 Trouble in Higgs ? Radions! Quantum excitations of brane distance in RS theories (e.g. Rizzo, Hewett, Dominici,Gunion Giudice, Wells, Rattazzi…etc) Can change things a lot for the LHC Horror! gg H cross section disappears!!

LC/LHC 14/2 CERN RADIONS Albert De Roeck (CERN) 6 Exercise… Check where the Higgs discovery at LHC gets more difficult/impossible Can one observe gg ZZ* in those regions perspectives for identifying the nature of the observed scalar at a LHC & LC Tool used HDECAY, introducing relevant terms for radions (J. Gunion/D. Dominici) Radion ZZ* 4l 50 GeV < M < 400 GeV Take experimental bounds (Tevatron/LEP) into account Higgs H ZZ* 4l H ttH ttbb low Higgs mass range GeV
LC/LHC 14/2 CERN RADIONS Albert De Roeck (CERN) 7 Higgs/Radion detectability LHC will essentially always see a scalar with 30 fb -1 Other decays need to be looked into (H )
LC/LHC 14/2 CERN RADIONS Albert De Roeck (CERN) 8 Higgs/Radion Detectability M H =115 GeV M H =130 GeVM H =140 GeV Becomes better for heavier Higgs Decay to study HH for high mass LC should always see the light Higgs & in almost entire region
