LC/LHC 14/2 CERN RADIONS Albert De Roeck (CERN) 1 Radion-Higgs Search at LHC/LC Work in progress
2
LC/LHC 14/2 CERN RADIONS Albert De Roeck (CERN) 2 Trouble in Higgs Paradise @LHC ? 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!!
3
LC/LHC 14/2 CERN RADIONS Albert De Roeck (CERN) 3 Radions
4
LC/LHC 14/2 CERN RADIONS Albert De Roeck (CERN) 4 Radions
5
LC/LHC 14/2 CERN RADIONS Albert De Roeck (CERN) 5
6
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 120-140 GeV
7
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 )
8
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
9
LC/LHC 14/2 CERN RADIONS Albert De Roeck (CERN) 9 Couplings at a LC
10
LC/LHC 14/2 CERN RADIONS Albert De Roeck (CERN) 10 Ratio of couplings Effects are ~1-5%: Difficult to establish at LHC However: absolute cross section & gg H/WW HH possible handles
11
LC/LHC 14/2 CERN RADIONS Albert De Roeck (CERN) 11 LC measurements Measure precisely Higgs to bb and WW (*) couplings Contours of 2.5 evidence for radion mixing effects
12
LC/LHC 14/2 CERN RADIONS Albert De Roeck (CERN) 12 ZZ branching ratio
13
LC/LHC 14/2 CERN RADIONS Albert De Roeck (CERN) 13 Plans Explore further decay modes LHC with 100-300 fb -1 Total cross sections Explore LC/LHC complementarity fully –Determination of Radion parameters
