Sep. 10, 2008Kentarou Mawatari (KIAS) @ Taiwan4/30 Motivation I: the Higgs properties  After observation of a Higgs boson at LHC, determination of its properties, i.e., all the couplings and quantum numbers, is the next goal to unravel the underlying theory. the gauge, Yukawa, and self-couplings the charge, color, spin, CP quantum numbers  Spin & CP properties at LHC Higgs decay, e.g. H->ZZ->(ll)(ll) Higgs+2jet production, pp->Hjj Dell’Aquila,Nelson(1986) S.Y.Choi et al.(2003) Buszello et al.(2004) T.Plehn et al.(2002)

The VBF cuts may select the t-channel VBF diagrams.  The t-channel vector-boson propagators lead to the distinctive far forward jets.  The kinematical feature is not particular only to WBF but also the QCD production via the t-channel GF processes.

Sep. 10, 2008Kentarou Mawatari (KIAS) @ Taiwan11/30 Parton-shower effect  The present consensus seems to be that the azimuthal angle correlations predicted in the leading-order may survive even after higher-order corrections are applied.  The following analyses are done at the parton level with tree level matrix elements.

12. Sep. 10, 2008Kentarou Mawatari (KIAS) @ Taiwan12/30 Motivation II: massive gravitons  As another interest to study the azimuthal correlations at LHC, we attempt to apply it to other heavy particle productions, here massive-graviton productions.  We consider the simplest Randall-Sundrum (RS) model, where only gravitons can propagate in extra dimension.  So far, several phenomenological studies have been made on the s-channel graviton resonances and their decays for the discovery and the determination of the spin-2 nature.

30. Sep. 10, 2008Kentarou Mawatari (KIAS) @ Taiwan30/30 Summary  We have studied heavy-particle (Higgs boson and massive- graviton) productions in association with two jets via VBF (=WBF+GF) and their decays at LHC.  We showed the helicity amp explicitly for the VBF subprocesses. the VBF amp reproduces the exact matrix elements by taking into account the dijet large rapidity separation. quantum interference between different helicity states of the intermediate vector-bosons leads to a non-trivial azimuthal angle correlation of the jets in the production and in the decay.  These correlations reflect the spin and CP nature of the heavy particles produced via VBF processes.
